Abstract
A connector mounting structure includes a connector housing having terminal accommodating chambers, and wire connecting terminals accommodated in the terminal accommodating chambers. The terminals accommodated in the rightmost and leftmost ones of the terminal accommodating chambers are employed as dummy fixing terminals when the connector housing mounted on a printed circuit board. Fixing portions of the dummy fixing terminals are inserted into terminal insertion holes formed in the printed circuit board so that the fixing portions protrude from a rear surface of the printed circuit board. The fixing portions are secured to contacts of the printed circuit board by soldering.
Claims11
A connector mounting structure, comprising:
- a base board;
- a housing having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers;
- a plurality of terminals respectively disposed in said terminal accommodating chambers, said plurality of terminals including at least one electrical terminal and a pair of dummy terminals, respectively disposed at opposite ends of said housing relative to said at least one electrical terminal, an electrical wire only being connected to said at least one electrical terminal;
- and
- fastening means for fastening said housing to said based board, said fastening means consisting of fixing portions provided on said at least one electrical terminal and on said dummy terminals and passing through said based board to fix said terminals, and attendantly, said housing to said base board, whereby said housing is only indirectly fastened to said base board through said terminals.
A connector mounting structure, comprising:
- a base board;
- a housing having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers;
- a plurality of terminals respectively disposed in said accomodating chambers, said plurality terminals including at least one electrical terminal and a pair of dummy terminals, respectively disposed at opposite ends of said housing relative to said at least one electrical terminal, an electrical wire only being connected to said at least one electrical terminal;
- and
- a plurality of fixing portions provided on said at least one electrical terminal and on said dummy terminals and passing through said base board to fix said terminals, and attendantly, said housing to said base board, whereby said housing is only indirectly fastened to said base board through said terminals,
- wherein all of said at least one electrical terminal and said dummy terminals have the same shape, and said fixing portions of said dummy terminals reinforce fastening of said housing to said base board by said fixing portion of said at least one electrical terminal.
