Abstract
A connector () provides improved robustness and strength with a header () configured to retain and expose a plurality of receptacles (). The exposed portion of each receptacle provides a surface mount solderable element as part of the overall connector. Another embodiment further provides a lead () extending from the exposed portion of the receptacle to provide an additional leaded solderable element to the connector. Thus, the connector can provide both surface mount capability and/or a combination of surface mount and lead mount capability. The exposed portions of the receptacles may be soldered flush to a board (), thus minimizing z-height of the connector to the board and allowing for a larger sized diameter receptacle.
