Electrical connector for circuit boards and mounting arrangement for electrical connector for circuit boards

A mounting arrangement of an electrical connector for circuit boards, the electrical connector for circuit boards comprising:

• a housing comprising an electrically insulating material,
• signal terminals and non-signal terminals used as at least one of ground terminals and power supply terminals, which are made of a metallic material and retained within said housing, and
• reinforcing fittings attached to the housing, wherein
• the non-signal terminals are located outside the array range of the signal terminals,
• the reinforcing fittings are located adjacent to said non-signal terminals,
• the non-signal terminals comprise connecting legs for connection to the circuit board, the reinforcing fittings comprise attachment legs for attachment to the circuit board,
• the connecting legs of the non-signal terminals and the attachment legs of the reinforcing fittings are located adjacent to each other in the array direction of the signal terminals within a single through-hole provided in a common land formed on the circuit board and can be solder-connected to said land,
• wherein the electrical connector for circuit boards is disposed on a circuit board and the attachment legs of the reinforcing fittings and the connecting portions of the non-signal terminals of said electrical connector for circuit boards are located within a single through-hole in the circuit board and are solder-connected to a land on the perimeter edge of the through-hole.
