Abstract
A board mount-type connector having an insulative housing with a base and a row of contacts carried by the housing is disclosed. Each contact has a centerpiece secured to the housing along a substantially vertically upright inner wall of the base, a mating interface connected to one end of the centerpiece so that the mating interface contacts a mating contact, and a board interface connected to the remaining end of the centerpiece so that the board interface connects to a circuit board. Each board interface has a bend that initially extends away from an extension line associated with a generally vertically upright portion of the respective centerpiece and that is bent back toward the extension line. A pad interface extends from the free end of the board interface toward the extension line and the contacts of the row are staggered along a length of the row.
