Abstract
It is aimed to enable a terminal fitting to be easily removed from a circuit board. A board connector (10) is provided with a terminal fitting (30) and a housing (20) in which the terminal fitting (30) is mounted, and fixed to a circuit board (12). The terminal fitting (30) includes a support receiving portion (32) to be supported by the housing (20), a connecting portion (34) to be connected to the circuit board (12), and a resiliently deformable resilient portion (33) provided between the support receiving portion (32) and the connecting portion (34). The connecting portion (34) is pressed against the circuit board (12) based on a restoring force of the resiliently deformed resilient portion (33).
Claims5
A board connector to be fixed to a circuit board, comprising:
- a terminal fitting;
- and
- a housing, the terminal fitting being mounted in the housing,
- the terminal fitting including:
- a support receiving portion to be supported by the housing;
- a connecting portion to be connected to the circuit board;
- and
- a resiliently deformable resilient portion provided between the support receiving portion and the connecting portion, and
- the connecting portion being pressed against the circuit board based on a restoring force of the resiliently deformed resilient portion,
- wherein the resilient portion includes:
- a first bent portion bent to be convex toward a front-lower side;
- a second bent portion bent to be convex rearward;
- and
- a third bent portion bent to be convex forward, and
- wherein the first bent portion extends downward from a rear end of the support receiving portion.
