Connector with reinforcing structure for securing the connector housing to a circuit board

摘要

A connector which includes a housing (20) made of synthetic resin for holding terminals (10), and reinforcing metal plates (50) having parts (54) to be fixed on a circuit board and parts (55) which are adapted to be fixed to both sides of the housing (20) in a lateral direction. The housing (20) is provided, at both sides thereof in the lateral direction, with insertion slits (24a) which open toward the bottom face of the housing. These parts (55) to be fixed to the housing are restrained from moving back and forth by a restraining part (25) of the housing (20) once the parts (55) have been inserted upwardly into the insertion slits (24a) from the bottom face side of the housing.
