Abstract
A circuit board mounted connector is equipped with an insulative housing, which holds a plurality of rows of contacts and is mounted on a circuit board. Each contact has a contact portion, for contacting another connector, and a leg portion, which is connected to the circuit board. Each leg portion has an extending portion that extends from a rear wall of the insulative housing; a flexible portion, which is formed continuously with the extending portions; and a linear portion that extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the circuit board from the flexible portion and is connected to an aperture of the circuit board. Of the plurality of rows of contacts, at least the row closest to the circuit board has extending portions that extend away from the circuit board, up to the flexible portions. The linear portions of each of the leg portions are partially tin plated.
