Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having contact chambers between a top and a bottom configured to be mounted to a circuit board. A rear wall of the housing includes lead slots open at the top to receive leads of an electrical component. The electrical connector includes a cover coupled to the top of the housing above the leads. The electrical connector includes contacts received in corresponding contact chambers. Each contact includes a base having a solder pad at a bottom configured to be soldered to a circuit board conductor of the circuit board. Each contact includes contact beams extending from the base to form a socket proximate to the top of the housing that receives the lead of the electrical component from above to electrically connect to the lead of the electrical component.
