Patent ID: 7708566

Claim:
An electrical connector for mounting to a PCB which includes a plurality of electrical circuits, comprising: a connector member comprising an insulative housing and a plurality of integrated electrical contacts attached to the insulative housing, the insulative housing having a mating face and a mounting face, each electrical contact including a retention section engaging with the insulative housing, a mating section extending from one end of the retention section to the mating face, and a mounting section extending from the other end of the retention section to the mounting face and out of the insulative housing; an IC bonded to the connector member and combining with the connector member into a single unit, and wherein the electrical contacts are electrically connected to the printed circuit board and the IC; and a carrier-PCB attached to the connector member from the mounting face including a plurality of electrical traces; and wherein the IC is attached to the carrier-PCB; wherein the carrier-PCB is form-able to fit to the electrical contacts after the IC attaching to the carrier-PCB, and the carrier-PCB bonded to the connector member along a direction perpendicular to the PCB; wherein the mounting portion of the electrical contact includes a soldertail connecting with the electrical circuits of the PCB.
