ABSTRACT:
A surface mount electrical connector includes an insulating housing having a through receptacle, the housing being mountable to a printed circuit board. A spring contact is mounted in the receptacle of the housing and includes a contact pad at one end exposed at the bottom of the housing for surface engaging a circuit trace on the printed circuit board. A contact cusp is formed from the opposite end of the spring contact and projects from the top of the housing for engagement by a complementary contact component. A mounting post is provided intermediate the ends of the spring contact for fixing in a mounting aperture in the housing. The spring contact is a planar stamped metal component disposed in the housing with the plane of the contact generally transverse to the top and bottom of the housing. The contact cusp is preloaded within the housing.
