Abstract
In an electrical connector and circuit board securing structure, the electrical connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of conductive terminals and an outer housing. Two sides of the outer housing are each punched to form a wing. The wing extends downwardly to form a post. The circuit board is provided with an aperture. The two posts fit into the notches so that the outer housing of the electrical connector can be positioned firmly on the circuit board with good positioning between the two, will not vibrate, and can withstand plugging and unplugging.
