Electric connector

An electric connector for elelctrically connecting between an electric element and conductors on a planar surface of a printed circuit board, comprising a plastic main body and a plurality of conductor members penetrating the main body, each of the conductor members having at one end a connecting portion for connecting to the electric element and at the other end a terminal portion for connecting to said one conductor on the printed circuit board, each terminal portion of the conductor members having a first face which is subject to surface mounting contact with one of said conductors on the printed circuit baord when the electric connector is arranged on the printed circuit board with each connecting portion of the conductor members extending parallel to the printed circuit board and a second face which is subject to surface mounting contact with one of said conductors on the printed circuit board when the electric connector is arranged on the printed circuit board with each connecting portion of the conductor members extending perpendicularly to the printed circuit board, said main body having a plurality of grooves in a surface thereof, the ends of the terminal portions of the conductor members being seated in said grooves.
