Abstract
A terminal is formed of an electrically conductive plate, and includes a first support part and a second support part facing each other such that the first and second support parts sandwich a printed circuit board to make contact with opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board. The second support part is comprised of a portion of the plate expanding in a first direction intersecting with a second direction in which the printed circuit board expands, and the second support part is formed with a recess opening in the second direction.
Claims15
A terminal comprising:
- an electrically conductive plate formed to include a first support part and a second support part facing each other such that said first support part and said second support part are configured to sandwich a printed circuit board therebetween to make contact with opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board,
- wherein said second support part comprises a portion of said plate extending in a first direction intersecting with a second direction in which said printed circuit board extends, and
- wherein said second support part has two plate portions extending outwardly from respective upper and lower edges of said second support part so as to extend in the same direction by the same length, a surface of said second support part and said two plate portions defining a recess open in the second direction and having a substantially rectangular cross-section.
A connector including:
- a plurality of terminals;
- and
- a housing having storage rooms in which said terminals are housed;
- wherein each of said terminals comprises:
- an electrically conductive plate formed to include a first support part and a second support part facing each other such that said first support part and said second support part are configured to sandwich a printed circuit board therebetween to make contact with opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board,
- wherein said second support part comprises a portion of said plate extending in a first direction intersecting with a second direction in which said printed circuit board extends, and
- wherein said second support part has two plate portions extending outwardly from respective upper and lower edges of said second support part so as to extend in the same direction by the same length, a surface of said second support part and said two plate portions defining a recess open in the second direction and having a substantially rectangular cross-section.
A terminal comprising:
- an electrically conductive plate formed to include a first support part and a second support part facing each other such that said first support part and said second support part are configured to sandwich a printed circuit board therebetween to make contact with opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board,
- wherein said second support part comprises a portion of said plate extending in a first direction intersecting with a second direction in which said printed circuit board extends,
- wherein said second support part is formed with a recess opening in said second direction, and
- wherein said second support part comprises a second protection wall at least partially covering a side of said second support part, said second protection wall being formed of a bent portion of said plate fitted into said recess.
