ABSTRACT:
An improved surface-mount electrical wire connector includes a connector housing and electrical contacts. The housing supports the electrical contacts and includes an upper surface with openings to receive the stripped ends of electrical wire. The upper surface includes an enhanced bearing surface established between a pair of openings by selectively chamfering the perimeter of the openings. This enhanced surface accommodates a suction-cup head on conventional pick-and-place assembly equipment. The electrical contacts include an upper section for receiving and retaining a wire and a lower section, extending through a lower surface of the housing, for solderably affixing the connector to a printed circuit board. The lower section of the contacts preferably include two, parallel, spaced apart members which provide four exposed surfaces to receive and retain solder.
