Abstract
The present disclosure describes an alignment fixture having particular application in surface-mount connector technology. The fixture utilizes a plurality of through-hole connector sections having pins which are retained in holes formed in a plate and which exhibit a predetermined positional tolerance. A plurality of surface-mount connector sections to be mounted adjacently on the edge of a printed circuit board are plugged into mating through-hole connector sections, and positioned with respect to conductive pads on the board surface. In effect, the above-mentioned positional tolerance has been transferred by the fixture to the surface-mount connector sections.
