SHIELDED RIGHT ANGLE CONNECTOR

摘要

A metal-shielded right angle connector includes an insulative housing H having a bottom surface 1 laid on a circuit substrate K and a recess portion 4 in a front surface 2 for receiving an associated connector, a plurality of terminals T held in the housing and a metal shield 50 provided along an inner surface of the recess portion 4. The terminals are divided into upper terminals 10 and lower terminals 20, the upper terminals and the lower terminals have solder tails 15, 26 extending in directions opposite to each other along the bottom surface by bent portions 14, 24 in the vicinity of the bottom surface of the housing, and either one of the bent portion of the upper terminals and the bent portion of the lower terinals is located on the upper surface side of the housing above the other bent portion. The solder tails of the lower terminals have a stepped configuration, which spaces them apart from the solder tails of the upper terminals to prevent solder bridging from occuring between upper and lower terminals.
