Connector for circuit board and method of forming it

摘要

A housing (10) of a connector has vertical screw holes (14) parallel to a connecting direction of the housing (10) and horizontal screw holes (19) normal to the connecting direction. Thus, the housing (10) is both horizontally and vertically mountable on a circuit board (P), and flexibility in the use of the housing (10) is improved. Further, the horizontal screw holes (19) are normal to the connecting direction and can be formed by a pair of molds movable along the connecting direction. Therefore, costs necessary for the molds can be reduced.
