An electrical connector includes an insulative housing with upper and lower row passageways therein in a zigzag manner along the longitudinal direction of the housing. A plurality of upper and lower row contacts are disposed in the corresponding upper and lower row passageways, respectively. The mounting pads of the upper row contacts extend in one direction and the mounting pads of the lower rows contacts extend in an opposite direction so that the mounting pads of the upper row contacts are able to be respectively aligned with those of the lower row contacts in the front-to-back direction for easy, systematic and regular footprint arrangement on the printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted.
