| (54) | Electrical connector for a PCB |
| (57) An electrical connector (10) for mounting on a PCB (14) comprising a first housing
(22) having a base wall (26) mountable on one side of the PCB; a second housing (24)
having a base wall (28) mountable on the other side of the PCB, the base wall of the
first housing and/or the second housing having an extension (32) which can be positioned
in an aperture (30) in the PCB and engage the other housing; a first row (34) of electrical
terminals (36) passing though, and secured in, the base walls and the or each extension
to provide electric contacts (38) in the first housing and electric contacts (40)
in the second housing; a second row (42) of electrical terminals (44) passing through,
and secured in, the base wall of the first housing to provide electric contacts (46)
in the first housing connectable with the printed circuit board; and a third row (48)
of electrical terminals (50) passing through, and secured in, the base wall of the
second housing to provide electric contacts (52) in the second housing connectable
with the printed circuit board; wherein the second row is positioned on one side of
the first row and the third row is positioned on the opposite side of the first row
to the second row. Provides electrical connections to the PCB as well as through connections
which bypass the PCB. |
