Connector and method of mounting it

摘要

A connector for a PCT ( 60 ) has two fixing members ( 40 ). Each fixing member ( 40 ) has a main plate ( 41 ) configured for mounting to a connector housing ( 12 ) and a mounting plate ( 42 ) bent from the main plate ( 41 ). Each mounting plate ( 42 ) has solder entering holes ( 47 ) and slits ( 50 ) between the solder entering holes ( 47 ) at a projecting edge of the mounting plate ( 42 ). A force that acts to turn the mounting plates ( 42 ) from one end is divided at each slit ( 50 ), thereby preventing the mounting plates ( 42 ) and the housing ( 12 ) from being detached from the PCB ( 60 ).
