Abstract
An electrical connector (16) is provided for mounting on a circuit board (10) to connect contact pads (100) of the card to conductive traces (102) on the circuit board. The connector includes a body (20) that carries sheet metal strip contacts (26, 26') that project above an upper face (36) of the body. The contact tails (44) are resiliently deflectable, and each has a trace-engaging part (68) that projects beneath the lower bearing face (66) of the body and which can be deflected up into a cavity at the bottom of the body when engaging the circuit board.
