(57) An electrical connector is provided for mounting on one side of a circuit board. The connector includes an elongated dielectric housing having a board mounting face and defining a longitudinal center line. A board retention member projects from the board mounting face on one side of the center line for insertion into an appropriate hole in the circuit board. A recess is provided in the board mounting face on an opposite side of the center line and located for accommodating a board retention member projecting through the circuit board from a connecting device mounted on an opposite side of the circuit board.
