RF connector mounting

An electrical connector comprising:

• a connector housing including a connector base;
• and
• a first conductor that is carried by the connector housing and that includes a compression end;
• wherein
• the connector base defines at least one aligner, other than a connector fastener hole, that is configured to cooperate with a corresponding fiducial to properly align the electrical connector on a mounting surface of a substrate;
• the at least one aligner is a recess, a concavity, or a cavity in the connector base, or a protrusion defined by the connector base.
