ABSTRACT:
A connector has upper and lower rows of contacts (20, 22, FIG. 4 ) whose contact tails (40, 42) are soldered to front and rear rows of pads (26, 24) on a circuit board (14), which provides flexibility in downward deflection of all contact tails in a short forward-rearward distance (B) . While the upper tails of the upper row of contacts extend at a downward-forward incline, the lower tails have rear portions (80) with inclined parts (90) that extend at an upward-forward incline, and forward portions (82) with inclined parts (92) that extend at downward-forward inclines. A heating bar (102, FIG. 7 ) for heating the forward ends (120, 122) of the contact tails for reflow soldering to the pads, has slots (124) in its lower surface (106) that extend from its rear end (126) to a location (130) behind its front end (132).
