Right-angle electrical connector

A right-angle electrical connector comprising:

• a mating portion configured to insert and extract a counterpart connector, said portion being formed in a front portion of a housing that holds blades retaining a plurality of electroconductive elongated members in place in array form by insulating plates, and has a mounting surface for mounting to a circuit board on a bottom face of the housing which forms an angle with a front face of said housing, and in which the electroconductive elongated members retained in place by the insulating plates have arm portions extending in a rectilinear configuration in a forward-backward direction along a direction of connector insertion and extraction, and
• leg portions coupled to the rear ends of said arm portions via bend portions and extending downwardly toward the bottom portion, the arm portions comprising contact portions configured to contact corresponding terminals of the counterpart connector formed in the front end portions thereof,
• wherein the leg portions have connecting portions solder-connected to corresponding circuits on a circuit board formed at the lower ends thereof, wherein the blades are formed from the arm-portion blades, by which the arm portions are retained in place, and the leg-portion blades, by which the leg portions are retained in place, are being coupled via the bend portions of the electroconductive elongated members such that respective major faces of the blades form an angle with one another,
• the housing having formed therein holding portions holding the blades, said holding portions have formed therein restricting portions positioned behind said leg-portion blades in a face-to-face relationship with rear faces of the leg-portion blades, and said restricting portions configured to restrict rearward displacement of the leg portion blades.
