Abstract: A surface mountable electrical connector includes an insulative terminal housing, conductive terminals mounted on the housing, and a shielding cover surrounding the terminal housing and having a plurality of L-shaped surface mounting legs. Each of the surface mounting legs has a first segment that extends in a transverse direction relative to a printed circuit board, a bent segment that is bent from the first segment, and a second segment that extends from the bent segment and that is parallel to a planar surface of the printed circuit board. The bent segment has a width less than those of the first and second segments. The second segment has a free end that is distal from the bent segment, and is bifurcated to define a recess that extends inwardly from the free end of the second segment.

Abstract: A welding tab assembly has a weld tab and a metal rod. The weld tab has an inverted L-shaped recess defined in one side of the weld tab and an inclined hole defined in a top face of the recess. The metal rod is inverted L-shaped and is received in the inverted L-shaped recess. An inclined section obliquely extends from one end of the metal rod and is received in the inclined hole in the weld tab. A fastener detachably holds the metal rod in the recess. In such an arrangement, the welding slag can be cleaned or exhausted during the welding process by means of detaching the weld tab from the welded parts, such that the welding quality is improved.
