Board connector with anchor tab

摘要

There is provided a board connector that prevents loads due to thermal changes in a connector housing from being directly imposed on soldered areas of anchor hardware and that enhances anchoring reliability of the anchor hardware. A board connector includes a connector housing to be populated on a circuit board, anchor hardware for soldering the connector housing to the circuit board, holding grooves that are formed on the connector housing and capable of press-fitting and holding upper lugs of the anchor hardware, and tapered portions that are formed in the respective holding grooves and that guide the upper lugs of each of the pieces of press-fitted anchor hardware in a direction away from each side surface of the connector housing, thereby creating clearance S between the anchor hardware and respective opposing side surfaces of the connector housing.

1. A board connector comprising:
a connector housing to be populated on a circuit board; anchor hardware for soldering the connector housing to the circuit board; a press-fit attachment portion that is formed on either side surface of the connector housing and that enables press-fitting and holding a press-fit portion of the anchor hardware; and a tapered portion that is formed in the press-fit attachment portion and that guides the press-fit portion of the press-fitted anchor hardware in a direction away from the side surface of the connector housing, thereby creating clearance that is maintained between the anchor hardware and opposing side surface of the connector housing.
