Abstract
Abstract A connector that can be attached to a printed circuit board. The connector has a plastic connector housing which includes a contact body and a frame. The contact body contains a plurality of electrically conductive pins that can be mated with the sockets of an external connector. The frame is integral with the contact body and extends around the edges of the printed circuit board. The frame has a ridge that allows the printed circuit board to be mounted directly to the connector.
