Abstract
An SMT connector suitable for surface mounting on a printed circuit board enabling the necessary coplanarity to be secured even if not providing a coplanarity correction step after assembly, wherein contact members made of a metal having a high hardness have lead members made of a metal having a low hardness and shaped straight connected to them, the connection parts are covered by an insulating material, next, the lead members are bent in a crank shape, whereby the coplanarity of the lead members is maintained at within a predetermined accuracy, and a method of production of the same.
Claims7
An SMT connector comprised of:
- a contact member made of a metal having a high hardness,
- a lead member of a crank shape having one end connected to one end of said contact member and made of a metal having a low hardness, and
- an insulating material covering a connection part of said contact member and said lead member.
A method of production of an SMT connector comprised of:
- a connecting step of connecting one end of a contact member and one end of a straight-shaped lead member,
- a covering step of covering the connection part of the contact member and lead member connected in the connecting step by an insulating material, and
- a bending step of bending the lead member after covering in the covering step.
