PRESS-FIT TERMINAL FOR BOARD CONNECTOR AND FIXING STRUCTURE OF PRESS-FIT TERMINAL TO CONNECTOR HOUSING

摘要

A press-fit terminal includes an electric connecting part provided in a front part of the press-fit terminal to be electrically connected to a mating connector terminal; a rear leg part provided in a rear part of the press-fit terminal to be inserted and fixed to a through hole of a circuit board; and an engaging part provided in an intermediate part between the electric connecting part and the rear leg part to be press-fitted to a press-fit hole of a wall part of a connector housing. The rear leg part is formed in a shape of a round pin having a circular form in cross-section. The rear leg part may be designed to have a diameter in cross-section being smaller than a minimum dimension between opposed inner wall surfaces of the press-fit hole of the connector housing.
