Connector for a printed circuit board

摘要

A connector for a printed circuit board is presented which is designed to minimize a deformation of a positioning member for aligning lead terminals. Since engaging members 51 are located at the outside of guide surfaces formed on the outer surfaces of a housing 20 of the connector, a spacing between the engaging members 51, 51 is longer as compared to a case where the engaging members are located inwardly of guide walls projecting from the front surface of the housing. Accordingly, a deformation per unit length of the positioning member 40 caused by the deformation of the engaging members 51 is small. Such a small deformation of the positioning member 40 causes insertion holes 42 to be deformed and disarranged only to a smaller degree, with the result that lead terminals 30 can be aligned with a higher accuracy.
