LOW PROFILE CONNECTOR WITH COMBO SOLDER TAILS
First Claim
1. A low profile connector for mounting on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), comprising:
- an insulative housing defined a plurality of passageways;
a plurality of terminals received in the passageways of the insulative housing, and each is provided with a contacting section for mating with a contact portion of a mating connector and a solder portion extending beyond insulative housing for connecting with the PCB;
a shielding shell provided with a mating opening surrounding the contact portion for accommodating a mating portion of the mating connector along a mating direction;
an auxiliary member defined a main portion attached to a bottom surface of the shielding shell and at least one horizontal portion located at one end thereof for mounting on a upper surface of the PCB;
wherein the shielding shell further includes a vertical portion perpendicular to the horizontal portion for inserting a via of the PCB, and the horizontal portion of the auxiliary member has a concavity running through a upper surface and a lower surface thereof for receiving the vertical portion.

Abstract
A low profile connector for mounting on a PCB comprising: an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals, a shielding shell and an auxiliary member. Each terminal is provided with a contacting section and a solder portion extending beyond insulative housing for connecting with the PCB. The shielding shell defines a mating opening surrounding the contact portion, and the auxiliary member defines a main portion attached to a bottom surface of the shielding shell and at least one horizontal portion located at one end thereof for mounting on an upper surface of the PCB. The shielding shell further includes a vertical portion perpendicular to the horizontal portion for inserting a hole of the PCB, and the horizontal portion of the auxiliary member has a concavity for receiving the vertical portion which decreasing space that the connector located on the PCB.

14. An electrical connector comprising:
-
an insulative housing extending along a longitudinal direction and defining a horizontal mating port communicating with an exterior in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction; a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed in the mating port; a set of metallic shell covering the housing and defining a pair of outwardly extending surface mounting sections on two opposite sides of the housing for mounting to a printed circuit board in a vertical direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and said front-to-back direction, each of said surface mounting sections defining a U-shaped configuration having two opposite sides linked by a bight thereof and commonly defining a notch therein, said metallic shell further including a pair of vertical mounting sections each extending downwardly vertically from a position above said surface mounting section into the corresponding notch;
whereinthe vertical mounting section is spaced from the corresponding bight in said longitudinal direction. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
