Abstract
Abstract The invention disclosed herein is a connector (14) wherein the contact elements (24, 26, 28) include tail sections (32) on one end for being soldered to pads (62) on the circuit board (60). More particularly, the connector (14) carries three rows of contact elements (24, 26, 28) with the tail sections (32) extending out from the housing (22) at different lengths and in a pattern predetermined by the pad spacing and arrangement on the board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A surface mount connector (14) for being mounted on a circuit board and having a housing (22) with three rows of passages (36) extending therethrough and having contact elements (24, 26, 28) therein with tail sections (32) extending outwardly from one end of the housing (22), characterised in that the tail sections (32) include a connecting strap (46), an obliquely depending arm (48) and a foot (50) for soldering to a conductive trace (62) on a circuit board (60).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A surface mount connector (14) for being mounted on a circuit board and having a housing (22) with three rows of passages (36) extending therethrough and having contact elements (24, 26, 28) therein with tail sections (32) extending outwardly from one end of the housing (22), characterised in that the tail sections (32) include a connecting strap (46), an obliquely depending arm (48) and a foot (50) for soldering to a conductive trace (62) on a circuit board (60).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
102 words
The surface mount connector (14) of claim 1 further characterised by the connecting strap (46) and obliquely depending arm (48) being short on contact elements (24), longer on contact elements (26) and longest on contact elements (28) with the contact elements (24) being positioned in the row of passages (36) in the housing (22) closest to the circuit board (60), the contact elements (28) being positioned in the row of passages (36) in the housing (22) furthest from the circuit board (60) and the contact elements (26) being positioned in the row of passages (36) intermediate the other rows of passages (36).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The surface mount connector (14) of claim 2 further including studs (54) projecting from a surface of the housing (22) for insertion and soldering in a plated hole (64) in the circuit board (60).
