Abstract
An electrical connector for surface mounting on circuit boards has a housing and at least two contact elements, the contact elements each have a contact leg and a solder terminal leg arranged essentially perpendicularly to each other. The contact legs project into a receiving space in the housing and the solder terminal legs run along a first outer side of the housing. Both horizontal and vertical plug-in directions are obtainable by an end of the solder terminal legs being connected in one piece to a second solder terminal leg, the second solder terminal legs running perpendicular to the first solder terminal legs and parallel to the contact legs along a second outer side of the housing, and by at least one projection being provided on the side of the first solder terminal legs and/or the second solder terminal legs for making electrical contact with the circuit board.
