ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE Abstract of the Disclosure An electrical connector includes an elongated contact portion extending from an anchor portion having a plurality of ribs or protrusions in an interference fit in a PCB plated through hole. The plated through hole is tinned and air knife squeegeed before insertion of the anchor portion. Thereafter it is fluxed via conduits defined by the periphery of the plated through hole and the ribs in the anchor portion. The electrical connector is soldered into the hole by solder reflow which in one example is accomplished by exposing the PCB to radiant energy within the infrared and visible spectrums. The solder becomes concentrated, during reflow, into fillets adjacent the wall of the plated through hole and a terminating surface of each of the ribs such that solder contamination of the elongated contact portion is avoided. -i-
