A structure for a reinforcement pin ( 130 ) in an electrical connector ( 100 ) is disclosed. The connector includes a connector housing ( 110 ), connection pins ( 120 ) mounted in the housing for electrical connection with electrical contacts ( 210 ) on a printed circuit board ( 200 ), and a reinforcement pin ( 130 ) mounted on each side of a lower portion of a front surface of the connector housing ( 110 ). Mating parts ( 114 ) for receiving the reinforcement pins ( 130 ) therein are formed at lower sides of the connector housing, and include upper and lower mating grooves ( 114 a, 114 b) formed together. Each reinforcement pin ( 130 ) has upper and lower mating members ( 132,134 ) which correspond to the mating parts ( 114 ) in the connector housing ( 10 ), for insertion into and mating with a corresponding housing mating part. A portion of the front part of each lower mating groove ( 114 b) has an open lower side. Portions of the reinforcement pins ( 130 ) project from the lower mating groove lower sides and are adapted for soldering to stationary contacts on the printed circuit board. When the connector ( 100 ) including the reinforcement pins ( 130 ) has been fixed to the printed circuit board ( 200 ) by soldering, the reinforcement pins ( 130 ) act to prevent the connection pins ( 120 ) from bending when the connector is exposed to impact or vibration.
