ABSTRACT:
A surface mount connector assembly for mounting to a printed wiring board (PWB) in a low-profile manner. The height of the surface mount connector assembly is diminished because the connector assembly extends from one side of the PWB to the other through an opening in the PWB. The surface mount connector assembly includes an outer housing portion having a plurality of openings therethrough for receiving a plurality of electrical contacts. The surface mount connector also includes an inner housing portion to be nested within the outer housing portion. Each of the electrical contacts are configured to be received within one of the openings in the inner housing portion such that a portion of each contact extends into the interior of the inner housing portion and another portion of each contact extends to the exterior of the inner housing portion. The portion of each contact extending to the exterior of the inner housing portion is positioned between the inner and outer housing portions when the inner and outer housing portions are nested with one another.
