12. A circuit board assembly for using in an electrical connector for high speed signal transmission, comprising:
-
a circuit board comprising a mating portion adapted for engaging with a complementary element, a mounting portion with a fusible element disposed thereon and defining a plated through hole therein; and
a contact including an intermediate portion, a connecting portion extending upwardly from the intermediate portion and surface mounted to the mounting portion, and a tail portion extending downwardly from the intermediate portion adapted for connecting with a printed circuit board, the connecting portion having a projection received in the plated through hole, interstitial space between the plated through hole and the projection being substantially filled with fusible element after melting and solidifying the fusible element. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
