Abstract
A press-fit circuit board connector is provided including a housing having a mating end and a mounting end. The housing has a contact holder including a plurality of contact channels. Contacts are received in corresponding contact channels. Each contact has a mating pin and a mounting pin opposite the mating pin. The mating pin is compliant and configured for compliant mating with a corresponding socket contact of a mating connector. The mounting pin is compliant and configured for press-fit mechanical and electrical connection to a circuit board. The mating pins of the contacts are arranged at the mating end to define a pin mating interface having a first pattern and the mounting pins of the contacts are arranged at the mounting end to define a pin mounting interface having a second pattern different than the first pattern.
