Abstract
In a compact printed circuit board connector adapted to be mounted at a printed circuit board and intended to be soldered to the printed circuit board simultaneously with other electrical components in a heating oven by using a solder paste for soldering the components, a channel is provided which extends through the interior of the printed circuit board connector. The channel serves for circulating a flow of heated gas through the interior of the connector in order to quickly achieve the required soldering temperature at the soldering ends of the contact elements.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
