ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly has a socket body which is mounted on a printed board and is adapted for receiving a complementary plug with contacts. The socket body has a bottom and a pair of opposed side walls defining therebetween a cavity for receiving the plug. The socket body carries a plurality of connector contacts, each of which is bent to define an inner leg and an outer leg both extending from a bent. The inner leg extends along an inner surface of the side wall within the cavity for engagement with the contacts of the plug, while the outer leg extends downwardly from the bent along an outer surface of the side wall to define a terminal lead at its lower end. The terminal lead projects generally horizontally outwardly from the bottom of the socket body so as to be registered on a corresponding terminal site of a conductor pattern on the printed board and is welded thereto. With this structure, the entire terminal leads can be viewed for facilitating a visual inspection of possible soldering failure at the terminal leads.
