US 6,783,374 B2 · Electronic component, coaxial connector, and communication device

Abstract

An electronic component, a coaxial connector, and a communication device each have a structure wherein flux does not intrude into the components thereof during mounting. The coaxial connector includes a synthetic resin case divided into a lower-side insulative case and an upper-side insulative case, and a fixed terminal, a movable terminal, and an external terminal each being made of metal. The lower-side insulative case has two notches provided therein. One of the notches receives the lead potion of the fixed terminal, and the other of the notches receives the lead potion of the movable terminal. These notches are configured such that clearances are provided to prevent capillary effect from occurring between the lead portions of the respective two terminals and the lower-side insulative case.

Dependent claims

An electronic component comprising:

an insulative case including a lower case portion and an upper case portion;
a plurality of surface-mounting terminals mounted on said insulative case;
at least one notch formed by a central substantially rectangular cut through the entire thickness of said lower case portion to accommodate a substantially L-shaped lead portion of at least one of said plurality of surface-mounting terminals;
and
said at least one notch providing a clearance between said lower case portion and said substantially L-shaped lead portion of said at least one of said plurality of surface-mounting terminals such that said substantially L-shaped lead portion does not contact any part of the lower case portion so as to prevent the occurrence of capillary effect of solder applied to said electronic component.
