An electrical connector assembly provides for connection between a mating connector and a printed circuit board. The assembly includes an elongate insulative housing having a connection face and an opposed mounting face. A plurality of elongate electrical contacts are supported within the housing. The contacts include connection ends adjacent the connection face and contact tails extending from the mounting face for insertion into through- holes of the printed circuit board. The contacts further define a securement member between the connection end and the opposed tail. The housing includes contact support members adjacent the mounting face. At least one of the contact support members is positioned at a location closer to the connection face than the other contact support members so as to position the connection end of at least one contact at a different longitudinal position than the other contacts. The contacts of the present invention may be stamped from a flat metal stamping at closer centers reducing the amount of scrap material. Furthermore, the connector may include a L-shaped connector securement clip for insertion into a mounting opening in the printed circuit board. The L- shaped securement clip includes a needle eye compliant section extending therethrough.
