Abstract:
A reverse tapered mounting tab for a signal connector is disclosed. The signal connector includes the reverse tapered mounting tab coupled to a connector body having a connector port inside. The reverse tapered mounting tab is configured to be secured in a through hole of a circuit board. Solder may be positioned in the through hole after positioning the mounting tab. The solder may prevent the mechanical tab from being forced through the through hole even after minor cracking and deformations in the solder.
