Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018092068A1] A press-fit circuit board connector (300) is provided including a housing (304) having a front chamber (320) and a rear chamber (322). A contact assembly (305) is received in the rear chamber and includes a contact holder (310) including a plurality of contact channels (314) and contacts (312) received in corresponding contact channels. Each contact has a mating terminal (336) and a mounting terminal (338). The mating terminal extends into the front chamber for electrical connection with a mating connector in a mating direction along a mating axis (410). The mounting terminal has a compliant connecting pin (384) configured for compliant mating with the mating terminal and a compliant mounting pin configured for press-fit mechanical and electrical connection to a circuit board (302) in a pressing direction along a pressing axis (412) generally perpendicular to the mating axis.
