Abstract
A reinforcing plate fixed to a connector main body is arranged on a bottom surface of the connector main body to come into surface contact with a surface of a substrate while a plurality of holes is provided on a surface, which contacts the substrate, of the reinforcing plate. When the reinforcing plate is soldered to the substrate, therefore, a solder wraps around not only a peripheral edge of the reinforcing plate but also an edge of each of the holes so that a soldering portion between the reinforcing plate and the substrate can be sufficiently ensured.
Claims8
A connector comprising an insulating connector main body, one end of which is opened, a plurality of terminals held in the connector main body, and a reinforcing plate fixed to the connector main body, and so adapted that each of the terminals and the reinforcing plate are soldered to a substrate,
- wherein the reinforcing plate is arranged on a bottom surface of the connector main body to come into surface contact with a surface of the substrate, and a plurality of holes formed in a surface of the reinforcing plate which contacts the substrate,
- wherein each hole of the plurality of holes in the reinforcing plate is a slit arranged in a width direction thereof,
- wherein the slits are adjacent to each other in the width direction at a central area of the reinforcing plate and elongated in a length direction perpendicular to the width direction, and an edge of each of the slits is adapted to be surrounded by solder.
