ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed having electrical terminals mounted within an insulating housing where the electrical terminals comprise surface mount contacts, pin receiving contact arms, and retention legs. The retention legs comprise cutting sections which cut uniform width sections through an irregular shaped stamped printed circuit board through hole. The retention legs also include projections extending from the side edges of the retention legs and include ramped portions which have an overall width greater than the width between the stamped side edges. A stamped through section is defined in the retention legs which defines two spring members which are compliant and expandable to accommodate for heat expansion of the printed circuit board through holes.
