Abstract
An electrical connector () includes an insulating housing () and a number of plate wafers () vertically stacked behind the insulating housing (). Each of the plate wafers () includes a frame () and a plurality of conductive contacts () secured by said frame (). The conductive contacts () of each plate wafer () have press-fit portions () disposed along a first length. The frame () forms a rib () extending over the first length along said lower edge of the frame () so that a tooling () can press on a top face of the rib () when the electrical connector () is mounted onto the printed circuit board. The insulating housing () forms a plurality of engaging portions () extending a second length backwardly from the rear face () above said rib (). The second length does not overlap the first length in a vertical direction, so that the tooling () can be downwardly inserted between adjacent wafers () and press on a top face of the rib () of the frame ().
