Abstract
A connector (1) according to the present invention includes a housing (2) and terminal pins (3) mounted on the housing (2) for electrically connecting connection terminals (16) of a circuit board (15) to a conductor pattern of a flat cable (11). The housing (2) is bonded to the circuit board (15) by an adhesive for mechanical connection thereto. The housing (2) has a projection (5) which, together with the circuit board (15), forms a recess (17) for applying an adhesive thereto.
Claims11
A connector comprising:
- terminal pins for electrically connecting connection terminals provided on a circuit board to a counterpart conductor pattern, and
- a housing having a main body for carrying the terminal pins, the main body of the housing being bonded to the circuit board by a deposit of adhesive and including a mounting surface confronting the circuit board,
- wherein the housing is provided with a first projection extending outwardly from the main body parallel to the mounting surface and formed with a hole which, together with the circuit board, forms a recess for receiving another deposit of adhesive for bonding to the circuit board,
- wherein the housing also is provided with an elastic member for clamping the circuit board between the elastic member and the housing,
- wherein the elastic member comprises a first contact portion formed at an end of each said terminal pin for coming into contact with the connection terminal of the circuit board, and
- wherein the other end of each said terminal pin is formed with a second contact portion for coming into contact with a counterpart conductor pattern to clamp the counterpart between the second contact portion and the housing under an elastic force.
3 more elements
A connector comprising:
- terminal pins for electrically connecting connection terminals provided on a principal surface of a circuit board to a counterpart conductor pattern, and
- a housing for carrying the terminal pins, the housing being bonded to the circuit board by an adhesive,
- wherein the housing is provided with a projection which, together with the circuit board, forms a recess for receiving the adhesive, the recess being positioned outwardly from the circuit board in a direction parallel to the principal surface of the circuit board, each of the terminal pins projecting out from the recess.
