Connector to be fixed to a device and method of fixing a connector to a device

摘要

Fixing members ( 30 ) fixable to a circuit board (K) by soldering are mounted in a housing ( 10 ). Each fixing member ( 30 ) is comprised of a main panel ( 31 ) and a solder leg ( 32 ) projecting sideways from the bottom end of the main portion ( 31 ). The solder leg ( 32 ) has solder entering holes ( 37 ) that open at a side of the solder leg ( 32 ) toward the circuit board K and at a side opposite therefrom. Each solder entering hole ( 37 ) has a cross-section that gradually increases toward both upper and lower open ends ( 37 a, 37 b). A locking portion ( 38 ) is formed on each solder entering hole ( 37 ) and bulges more inward than both open ends ( 37 a, 37 b). The locking portion ( 38 ) locks solder (H) that enters the solder entering hole ( 37 ).
