Patent ID: 7575474

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a dielectric layer and an electrically conductive layer thereon defining a planar surface conductor; and a surface mount connector portion mounted to the PCB and comprising an electrically conductive header having a cylindrical bore extending therethrough and aligned normal to the PCB, the electrically conductive header also having a radially extending main recess in a bottom end thereof in communication with the cylindrical bore, an electrically conductive pin extending through the radially extending main recess and having a first end coupled to the planar surface conductor, a second end within the cylindrical bore and a bend therebetween, a dielectric material in the main recess between the electrically conductive pin and adjacent portions of the electrically conductive header, and an interconnect carried by the electrically conductive header and including a center conductive channel to receive the second end of the electrically conductive pin.
