<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface mount connector which improves mounting reliability against an external force acting in the direction perpendicular to a board while ensuring mounting reliability against an external force acting in the direction along the board. <P>SOLUTION: The surface mount connector 1 includes an insulating housing 2 in which a mating connector is fitted in the backward direction, and fixing members 5 which fix the insulating housing 2 to a circuit board 4. The fixing members 5 are each formed of a single metal plate, and include housing fitting portions 51 fitted on the left and right ends of the insulating housing 2 and fitting faces 53a and 54a soldered to the circuit board 4. The first fitting faces 53a are the lower end faces of first fitting portions 53 that extend back and forth in an erected position perpendicular to a mounting face, and the second fitting faces 54a are the undersurfaces of tabular second fitting portions 54 that extend outwardly to the left and to the right from the housing fitting portions 51. The first fitting faces 53a are located in front of the second fitting faces 54a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
