Electrical connector with fixity members having similar shapes as contacts from which contact portions are omitted

摘要

A surface mountable connector (100) comprises an insulator (10), a plurality of contacts (30) and a plurality of fixity members (40). The contacts (30) are held by the insulator (10). Similarly, the fixity members (40) are held by the insulator (10). The fixity member (40) has a specific shape similar to the contact (30) except for a contact portion of the contact (30) which is a part of the contact (30) brought into contact with a contact of a mating connector when the connector (100) is mated with the mating connector. The fixity member (40) can be easily manufactured by cutting off the contact portion from the contact (30).
