Abstract:
A coaxial connector assembly for mounting to the edge of a printed circuit board employs a support member having a faceplate and an integral rearwardly extending rib. The rib is provided with rails or dimples that raise the rib to provide a space between the rib and the circuit board enabling cleaning by a solder flux solvent. Coaxial connectors are mounted on the faceplate and extend rearwardly. The center conductors of the coaxial connectors are bent to enable the entire assembly to be secured to a printed circuit board with the center conductors aligned with the conductors on the board to which they are to be attached by solder. The rib is provided with rails or tabs that connect with the ground plane of the circuit board.
