ABSTRACT:
An electricl connector (1) for mounting on a circuit board includes a housing (2) having a pair of spaced, rudimentary bottom walls (30) each having a bottom surface (31) for engaging against the circuit board. Each bottom wall (30) has formed therein, a through bore (39) opening into the bottom face (31) and also opening upwardly. A hollow board lock supported in each of the bores (39) has locking legs (37) projecting below the bottom face of the respective bottom wall (30) for insertion in a hole (H2) in a circuit board. The housing (2) has therein a header (8) carrying electrical terminals (64,66,68,70) having terminal legs (76) projecting rearwardly from the header (8) and terminating in soldering tails (78) depending below the housing for insertion in further holes (H1) in the circuit board when the bottom faces (31) of the bottom walls (30) are engaged with the circuit board. A metal shield (18) covering the terminal legs (76 ) has, projecting from opposite side walls (80) of the shield (18) grounding tabs (100) which extend through respective board locks (41) and between their locking legs (76). When the connector (1) is mounted on the circuit board the soldering tails (78) are soldered to signal conductors on the board and the legs (76) of the board locks (41) are soldered to grounding conductors on the board. The grounding tabs (100) are accordingly soldered to the grounding conductors at the same time as the locking legs (37).
