Abstract
In an electronic circuit unit having more than two electric connectors, at least one of the connectors gets to have a group of connector pins, penetration-type connector housing, which the group of connector pins can be passed through with clearances, a plate to support the connector pins. This connector can be installed in the printed wiring board easily. Especially, when the electronic circuit unit has many electric connectors and some connectors are the above type, they can be installed in the printed wiring board easily and securely at the same time.
Claims8
An electronic circuit unit comprising:
- a printed wiring board;
- groups of connector pins connecting the printed wiring board with external devices;
- connector housings each pierced by a corresponding group of the connector pins, wherein at least one of the connector housings is a penetration-type connector housing that has an open through hole and is pierced by the corresponding group of connector pins with clearances against the housing;
- plates each supporting the corresponding group of the connector pins in correspondence with the penetration-type connector housing;
- and
- a case accommodating the printed wiring board and set with the connector housings thereon.
A method of producing an electronic circuit unit comprising steps of:
- inserting a first group of connector pins fixedly held by a plate into a printed wiring board, the plate being separated from a first connector housing having a through hole;
- fixing the first connector housing and a second connector housing in a first through hole and a second through hole of a case, respectively, the second connector housing being insert-molded with a group of second connector pins;
- and
- fixing the case to the printed wiring board while inserting the second group of connector pins into the printed wiring board and surrounding the first group of connector pins with the first connector housing.
A method of producing an electronic circuit unit comprising steps of:
- inserting first and second groups of connector pins fixedly held by first and second plates into a printed wiring board, respectively;
- fixing first and second connector housings in first and second through holes of a case, respectively, the first and second connector housings being separate from the first and second plates, respectively;
- and
- fixing the case to the printed wiring board while surrounding the first and second groups of connector pins with the first and second connector housings, respectively.
