Electrical connector, method for manufacturing electrical connector, and method for mounting electrical connector

A method for manufacturing an electrical connector to be mounted on a mounting surface of a substrate, the method comprising:

• an insertion step of inserting a slider into a communication hole and inserting a receptacle into an accommodation part, the accommodation part being disposed in a bottom surface of a case to be opposed to the mounting surface, the communication hole being extended upward from the accommodation part and open to outside at an upper end thereof;
• and
• a retaining step of retaining the receptacle inserted into the accommodation part by the insertion step in the accommodation part by a retaining part of the case in a state of being exposed outside so that a terminal part of the receptacle to be soldered to the mounting surface is located at a same height as a contact part of the case to make contact with the mounting surface or below the contact part and the receptacle is movable upward, and retaining the slider inserted into the communication hole by the insertion step in the communication hole in a state of being vertically movable so that the slider moving down in the communication hole is capable of pressing the receptacle retained in the accommodation part by the retaining part down.

A method for mounting an electrical connector to be mounted on a mounting surface of a substrate, the method comprising,

• in a state where a receptacle is retained in an accommodation part disposed in a bottom surface of a case to be opposed to the mounting surface by a retaining part of the case in a state of being exposed outside so that a terminal part of the receptacle to be soldered to the mounting surface is located at a same height as a contact part of the case to make contact with the mounting surface or below the contact part and the receptacle is movable upward, and a slider is vertically movably retained in a communication hole that is extended upward from the accommodation part of the case and open to outside at an upper end thereof, transporting the electrical connector to above the mounting surface with the slider sucked to a suction nozzle and bringing the contact part into contact with the mounting surface, pressing the slider down with the suction nozzle to move the slider down so that the slider presses the receptacle down to press the terminal part against the mounting surface, and then soldering the terminal part to the mounting surface.
