A connector for a printed circuit board and a production method therefor

摘要

A connector for a printed circuit board comprising a board-shaped housing (1) with windows (2) and connecting terminals (3) arranged for the windows (2). An intermediate part (3a) of each connecting terminal (3) is fixed to a housing part (1a) at an edge of the window (2), and a contacting part (3b) of the connecting terminal (3) is arranged so that it can undergo elastic deformation in the window (2) in the direction of thickness of the housing (1) near the top of the housing (1). The external end of the connecting terminal (3) is formed as a lead (3c), and the connecting terminal (3) is provided with a reinforcing lead (3d) that extends from the intermediate part (3a) towards the bottom of the housing (1) in the window (2). If necessary, a reinforcing frame (4) is embedded in the housing (1). A production method thereof is indicated by example, wherein connecting terminals (3) and a frame (4) being connected together are press-formed, and they are integrally molded with the housing (1), then the connecting terminals (3) and the frame (4) are disconnected from the rest.
