Abstract
An improved board-to-board electrical connector includes opposite guide posts whose height can be reduced before the connector is placed into an automated soldering apparatus for soldering the connector terminals to selected conductors of a printed circuit board. Each guide post includes an upper and a lower section and the height adjustment of the guide posts is effected by pivotally mounting the upper sections of the guide posts such that they can be rotated into a vertical or horizontal position.
