Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing and a fitting held by the housing, wherein the fitting is a reinforcement fitting or a shield fitting and includes: a mounting portion; a first wall which is provided so as to protrude in a first direction orthogonal to a mounting surface; and a second wall which forms an exposed surface that does not come into contact with the housing, the mounting surface of the mounting portion and the exposed surface of the second wall are to be plated after insert molding, and a first thickness of a plated portion having been plated on the mounting surface is greater than a second thickness of a plated portion having been plated on the exposed surface of the second wall.
Claims7
An electrical connector comprising:
- a housing including a lengthwise direction, a crosswise direction, and a height direction which are mutually orthogonal;
- and
- a fitting held by the housing;
- wherein the fitting is a reinforcement fitting or a shield fitting which is integrally molded with the housing by insert molding, which is made of a conductive thin plate-shaped base material held by the housing, and of which surface is to be partially plated after the insert molding,
- the fitting includes:
- a mounting portion;
- a first wall;
- and a second wall;
- the mounting portion including a mounting surface which is to be mounted to a mounted object;
- the first wall being provided so as to protrude in a first direction orthogonal to the mounting surface, and the second wall being provided at a distal-side end to the mounting portion in the first wall in the first direction and forming an exposed surface being spaced apart from the mounting surface in the first direction and not coming into contact with the housing, and
- a first thickness of a plated portion on the mounting surface is greater than a second thickness of a plated portion on the exposed surface of the second wall.
