A connector assembly comprises a straddle connector including a dielectric housing having a front face forming an island section and a rear face opposite the island section. Upper and lower rows of terminals are embedded within the housing. Each terminal includes a connecting section extending to the island section and a tail section extending beyond the rear face. A retaining slot is defined between the upper and lower rows of tail sections. A PCB having upper and lower rows of golden fingers is inserted into the retaining slot. Each golden finger of one of the upper and lower rows is coated with solder paste. A row of holes is defined in the PCB adjacent to the golden fingers. Each hole is aligned with the extension of the corresponding terminal and has a solder drop disposed therein.
