  • Circuit board mounted connector assembly and method of fabricating same
    Patent number: 6146184
    Abstract: A circuit board mounted electrical connector assembly is adapted for connection to a complementary mating connector through an opening in the circuit board. A connector housing is provided with a plurality of terminals. The housing is mounted on the circuit board. Portions of the terminals are soldered to appropriate circuit traces on the circuit board. A guide member is mounted on the housing after the soldering process so that the guide member does not interfere with the soldering process. However, after soldering, the guide member facilitates guiding the mating connector into connecting position.
