Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing (12) having a horizontal mounting surface (14) and a plurality of closely spaced contacts (25, 26) with portions (25c, 26c) that are solderable to the conductive traces on a printed circuit board surface. A separable plate (30) is affixed to the housing and includes channels (32) receiving the portions (25c, 26c) to precisely position such portions for soldering to the board traces. Member (30) can be thereafter removed from housing (12) to allow full inspection of the solder joints formed during the soldering operation.
