Abstract
A connector has a housing having a bottom wall; and a plurality of terminals. A lower side surface of the bottom wall in the top-bottom axis has a first region and a second region divided into two by a center of gravity plane including a center of gravity. The first region has a facing region that faces the connecting member when the connecting parts of the plurality of terminals is mounted on the connecting member, and the second region is a non-facing region that does not face the connecting member. The second region has a back surface positioned at the upper side in the top-bottom axis with respect to an imaginary plane including the mounting surface of the connecting part; and a protrusion part protruding downward from the back surface in the top-bottom axis.
Claims9
A connector comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of terminals held in the housing and can be mounted on a sheet-like connecting member, wherein
- in a state where the housing is located above the connecting member,
- the housing has a top wall disposed on an upper side in a top-bottom axis, a bottom wall disposed on a lower side in the top-bottom axis, a front wall disposed on a front side in a front-rear axis that is an axis intersecting with the top-bottom axis, and a rear wall disposed on a rear side in the front-rear axis, wherein
- the plurality of terminals are held in the housing in a state where the plurality of terminals are arranged along a width axis that is an axis intersecting with the top-bottom axis and the front-rear axis, and
- each of the plurality of terminals has a connecting part protruding from the rear wall while being held in the housing, the connecting part is provided with a mounting surface that can be mounted on the connecting member, wherein
- a lower side surface of the bottom wall in the top-bottom axis has a first region and a second region divided into two by a center of gravity plane defined by an imaginary plane that includes a center of gravity and is perpendicular to the front-rear axis, wherein
- the first region is positioned at the rear side in the front-rear axis and the second region is positioned at the front side in the front-rear axis,
- the first region has a facing region that faces the connecting member in the top-bottom axis when the connecting part is mounted on the connecting member, and
- the second region is a non-facing region that does not face the connecting member in the top-bottom axis when the connecting part is mounted on the connecting member, wherein
- the second region has a back surface positioned at the upper side in the top-bottom axis with respect to an imaginary plane that includes the mounting surface of the connecting part and is perpendicular to the top-bottom axis;
- and a protrusion part protruding downward from the back surface in the top-bottom axis.
