Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing forming a plurality of passages therein for receiving a plurality of terminal pins and a spacer fixed to the housing by means of fasteners. The spacer forms a plurality of channels for extension of tail ends of the terminal pins therethrough. The spacer has a board mating surface distanced from a bottom face of the connector. The board mating surface is positioned on the circuit board to mount the connector to the circuit board. At least a portion of the connector is located below the circuit board, and the remaining portion of the connector is located above the circuit board. The spacer forms two spaced slots for each receiving a flat boardlock therein which has board engaging legs for insertion into holes provided on the circuit board. The boardlock has a section retained by an expanded end of the fastener for securing the boardlock to the spacer.
