Abstract (en)
An anti-wicking system is provided in an electrical connector (10) adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board having solderable circuit traces thereon. The connector includes a housing (12) having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages (22). A plurality of terminals (34) are inserted into the passages, with solder tail portions (34b) of the terminals projecting from the housing for solder connection to the circuit traces on the printed circuit board. The housing has at least one projecting portion (40) adjacent the terminals (34) to provide extra housing material which can be heat staked (40A) about the terminals to prevent solder wicking therealong. <IMAGE>
