ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for surface mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes an elongated dielectric housing, and mounting clips are provided for mounting the housing on one side of the circuit board at an edge thereof. A plurality of terminals are mounted in the housing, each terminal including a contact pin at one end and a surface mount tail at an opposite end. The contact pins of the terminals are oriented generally parallel to the circuit board and arranged in two rows longitudinally of the housing. The surface mount tails of the terminals are arranged in a common plane for surface engagement with appropriate circuit traces on the one side of the circuit board. The terminals are of identical constructions, with the terminals in one row thereof being oriented 180.degree. relative to the terminals in the other row thereof. Each locking clip includes retention tabs for retaining the locking clips on the housing. The locking clips also include locking legs, independent of the retention tabs, extending into openings in the circuit board for locking the connector against the circuit board.
