  • Right angle connector
    Patent number: 6200146
    Abstract: A right angle electrical connector that uses straight contacts, rather than contacts bent at a right angle. A flat insulative plate extends rearwardly from the bottom of the connector body that is mounted over a printed circuit board. Pegs formed on the bottom of the plate are mounted in plated-through holes in the printed circuit board. Conductive traces extend from contact passages in the connector body to the flat plate and pegs to provide electrical connections between contacts mounted in the passages and the printed circuit board.
