ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for mounting onto and electrical connection to a circuit board (20) comprises a dielectric housing (1) in which electrical contacts (10) are secured with connection sections (12) extending outwardly from a bottom surface of the housing (1) and electrically connected by soldering or welding to conductive members (22) of a circuit pattern on board (20). A securing tab (8) is affixed to housing (1) and extends along the bottom surface of housing (1) and is soldered or welded to a metal pad (23) in board (20) thereby securing the connector on board (20) and preventing damage to the connections between the connection sections (12) and the conductive members (22) when the housing (1) is warped as a result of temperature variations.
