CONNECTOR FOR PRINTED CIRCUIT SURFACE MOUNTING AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

The invention concerns an input/output connector ( 10 ) comprising a first electrically insulating part ( 1 ), including at least a fixing element ( 2, 4 ) and at least a contact strip, and a second part ( 50 ) acting as housing, which partly covers the first part ( 1 ), the planar connecting surface ( 5 ) of the contact rib ( 7 ) being located substantially in the same plane as the lower surface ( 9 ) of the fixing element ( 2, 4 ), such that said plane defines the plane for fixing the connector. Said connector can further comprise a power contact. The method for making such a connector consists in metallizing the plastic material to form the contact strip on the first part.
