Abstract
An electric SMD connector comprises a body of plastic material () having a base lower surface () which is substantially planar, to which there is associated a metal plate () for soldered connection to a printed circuit board (B). A plurality of metal contacts () carried by the body of the connector have front end portions () for coupling with the contacts of a female connector and projecting from a front surface () of the body of the connector, parallel to, and spaced apart from, the lower surface. The contacts further comprise rear end portions () which project from a rear surface () of the body of the connector, in a plane substantially coincident with the plane of said lower surface (). The front end portions () of the contacts are in a circumferential arrangement which is oriented so that the theoretical projections of said contacts () on the plane of said base lower surface () are substantially equally spaced from each other, so that the rear end portions () of the metal contacts () are also equally spaced from each other.
