ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed, along with a method of fabricating the assembly, wherein a dielectric housing has a lower face for mounting on a top surface of a printed circuit board. The housing includes at least one terminal-receiving cavity having an opening in the lower face of the housing. A terminal includes a receptacle portion received in the cavity for mating with a complementary electrical component. The terminal has a solder tail portion projecting from the receptacle portion, past the opening of the cavity, into a hole in the printed circuit board. The receptacle portion of the terminal is located in the cavity spaced from said opening a distance sufficient to prevent solder material from wicking up the solder tail onto the receptacle portion when the solder tail portion is wave soldered from a bottom surface of the printed circuit board.
