Patent attributes
An electrical connector is provided for mounting on a circuit board. The connector includes an insulative upright body having a front mating face and a rear terminating face. An engaging plate extends from the mating face of the body in a forward mating direction away from the body. An extension plate extends from the terminating face of the body in a rearward direction away from an upper distal end of the body. A plurality of terminal-receiving passages extend through the body between the front and rear faces thereof. The body is relatively thin in a front-to-rear direction. An upper surface of the distal end of the body and an upper surface of the extension plate are coplanar to define a relatively large suction surface. A plurality of terminals extend through the passages, and each terminal includes a contact portion projecting forwardly for mating with an appropriate terminal of a complementary mating connector, along with a terminating portion projecting from the rear face of the body for connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the printed circuit board.
