Connector mounting structure

摘要

A connector mounting structure includes a circuit board (200) and a male connector (300). The male connector (300) is surface-mounted to the circuit board (200) and has a housing (320) and terminals (310a). The housing (320) includes a body member (330) and a fixing member (340) fixed to the body member (330). The fixing member (340) has a tube portion and a protection portion (347). The tube portion receives a housing of an external female connector. Each terminal (310a) has first and second ends (311a, 312a). The first end (311a) is exposed to a surface (331) of the body member (330) and soldered to the circuit board (200). The second end (312a) is also exposed to the surface (331) of the body member (330) to be electrically connectable to the female connector. The protection portion (347) is placed between the first and second ends (311a, 312a) in a thickness direction of the circuit board (200) to cover a facing area between adjacent first ends (311a).
