LOW-PROFILE CONNECTOR

摘要

Disclosed is an improvement in a right-angled type of connector having a plurality of terminals parallel-arranged in its insulating housing, each terminal comprising a tail and a contact section integrally connected to the tail at right angles, the tail being to be inserted in a selected through-hole in an associated printed circuit board. The terminal has an intermediate crank-like section formed between its tail and contact section, thereby lowering the contact section toward the tip end of the tail. This allows the connector housing to be reduced in height.
