Abstract
A technique for enabling a connector to be easily attached to and detached from a substrate is provided. A connector according to the present disclosure can be attached to and detached from a substrate including a plurality of pads, and can mate with an opponent connector. The connector includes a plurality of contacts, a shell that holds the plurality of contacts, and a coupling part that removably connects the shell to the substrate. The shell includes a shell body, and a claw protruded from the shell body. The claw includes a claw body, and a protrusion protruded from the claw body. The claw catches the substrate and the coupling part couples the shell to the substrate, whereby the connector is attached to the substrate and is mounted on a mounting surface of the substrate.
Claims6
A connector that is capable of being attached to and detached from a substrate including a plurality of pads and is capable of mating with an opponent connector, the connector comprising:
- a plurality of contacts;
- a shell configured to hold the plurality of contacts;
- and
- a coupling part configured to removably couple the shell to the substrate, wherein
- the shell includes a shell body, and a claw protruded from the shell body,
- the claw includes a claw body and a protrusion that is protruded from the claw body,
- when the connector is attached to the substrate and is mounted on a mounting surface of the substrate as a result of the claw catching the substrate and the coupling part coupling the shell to the substrate,
- the contacts include respective contacting parts that are pushed against the plurality of respective pads,
- the claw body penetrates through the substrate,
- the protrusion extends along a rear surface that faces in a direction opposite to the direction in which the mounting surface faces, and
- when the connector is detached from the substrate, a distance between the contacting parts and the protrusion is smaller than a thickness of the substrate.
A connector mounting board comprising:
- a substrate including a plurality of pads;

- the claw includes a claw body and a protrusion that is protruded from the claw body,
- the claw catches the substrate and the coupling part couples the shell to the substrate,
- the contacts include respective contacting parts that are pushed against the plurality of respective pads,
- the claw body penetrates through the substrate,
- the protrusion extends along a rear surface that faces in a direction opposite to the direction in which the mounting surface faces, and
- when the connector is detached from the substrate, a distance between the contacting parts and the protrusion is smaller than a thickness of the substrate.
