PRESS-FIT CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR

A press-fit circuit board connector (100) is provided including a housing (104) having a mating end (106) and a mounting end (108). The housing (104) has a contact holder (110) including a plurality of contact channels (114). Contacts (112) are received in corresponding contact channels (114). Each contact (112) has a mating pin (116) and a mounting pin (118) opposite the mating pin (116). The mating pin (116) is compliant and configured for compliant mating with a corresponding socket contact of a mating connector. The mounting pin (118) is compliant and configured for press-fit mechanical and electrical connection to a circuit board (102). The mating pins (116) of the contacts (112) are arranged at the mating end (106) to define a pin mating interface (120) having a first pattern and the mounting pins (118) of the contacts (112) are arranged at the mounting end (108) to define a pin mounting interface (122) having a second pattern different than the first pattern.
