A circuit board pad connector system includes a connector that is configured to mount to a connector pad that is included on a circuit board. The connector includes a connector lead frame. A lead portion is provided on the connector lead frame such that the lead portion is oriented substantially perpendicularly relative to the connector pad when the connector is mounted to the connector pad. A first mounting portion is provided on the connector lead frame, is configured to mount the connector to the connector pad, and extends in a first direction that is substantially perpendicular relative to the lead portion. A second mounting portion is provided on the connector lead frame, is configured to mount the connector to the connector pad, and extends in a second direction that is different than the first direction and that is substantially perpendicular relative to the lead portion.
