Circuit board connector assembly

An assembly, comprising:

• a circuit board;
• a electrical connector mounted to a circuit board;
• and
• a counterweight mounted to said circuit board, wherein
• said counterweight contacts a major surface of said circuit board,
• a portion of said electrical connector is situated intermediate said counterweight and said circuit board,
• when said major surface of said circuit board is arranged horizontally, a first straight line through a center of gravity of said electrical connector in a direction of gravity does not intersect said major surface,
• when said major surface is arranged horizontally, a second straight line in said direction of gravity through a combined center of gravity of said electrical connector and said counterweight intersects said major surface, and
• a percentage of said counterweight by weight is situated exterior of said electrical connector, where said percentage is selected from the group consisting of at least 50%, at least 70% and at least 80%.

A method, comprising:

• mounting an electrical connector to a first major surface of a circuit board, and
• mounting a counterweight to said first major surface of a circuit board, wherein
• said electrical connector is mounted to said circuit board such that a center of gravity of said electrical connector is not situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects said first major surface,
• said electrical connector and said counterweight are mounted to said circuit board such that
• a combined center of gravity of said electrical connector and said counterweight is situated in a plane that perpendicularly intersects said first major surface, and
• said counterweight arches over an outer circumference of said electrical connector such that a second major surface of said electrical connector that adjacently faces said first major surface does not abut said first major surface.
