Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: an outer shell defining an inner cavity, said outer shell comprising a shell alignment element and a solder tab having a substantially flat solder tab engagement surface for surface mounting to a circuit board; an inner member received within said inner cavity, said inner member comprising a dielectric member comprising a dielectric alignment element engaging said shell alignment element for positioning said dielectric member with respect to said outer shell, said dielectric member comprising an alignment member extending on an exterior surface thereof, said dielectric member comprising a contact cavity extending axially through said dielectric member; and a contact received within said contact cavity and abutting said alignment member, said contact comprising a contact engagement surface for surface mounting to the circuit board, said contact abutting said aliment member such that said alignment member aligns said contact and solder tab engagement surfaces in a predetermined planar arrangement.
