Respective opposite ends of an insulating housing body of a surface mount connector are integrally formed with pairs of opposed, resilient, L-shaped arms, aligned with respective recesses extending under a board engaging face and embracing respective anchoring portions of respective retaining plates with a solder tab of each retaining plate received in a respective recess. Free ends of the arms extend towards each other in spaced apart relation defining between them an inspection window through which a reflow solder join between the solder tab and a dummy pad on the circuit board can be seen and checked from above the board.
