Abstract:
A circuit board connector has a housing 10 and terminal fittings (30) mounted in the housing (10). The terminal fittings (30) have board connecting portions (34) drawn out of the housing (10). The board connecting portions (34) are arranged on the surface of a circuit board (K) and connected with conductors on the circuit board (K) by soldering. Notches (36) are formed in lateral edges (37) of the board connecting portions (34) and have upward-sloped surfaces (39) to which solder (H) applied to the conductors adheres. A solder test is conducted by observing from above the adhered state of the solder (H) to the sloped surfaces (39) of the notches (36).
Abstract:
L-shaped terminal fittings (11A, 11B) have terminal connecting portions (12) at one end. The terminal connecting portions (12) are pressed into upper and lower stages of a housing (20) for connection with a mating terminal. Narrower board connecting portions (13) are at the opposite ends of the terminal fittings (11A, 11B) and have mounting portions (16) to be soldered to a PCB (40). The terminal connecting portions (12) of the upper stage align respectively with the terminal connecting portions (12) of the lower stage. However, the board connecting portions (13) in the upper and lower stages are offset laterally with respect to longitudinal axes (X) of the terminal connecting portions (12). Additionally, all of the board connecting portions (13) of the terminal fittings (11A, 11B) are arrayed in one row equally spaced from the housing (20).
Abstract:
A female housing (20) made of a synthetic resin is formed with cavities (22) for accommodating female terminal fittings (21), and locks (24) engageable with the female terminal fittings (21) to retain them are provided in the cavities (22). Each lock (24) projects from an outer surface (20a, 20b) of the female housing (20) during resilient deformation. A lock arm (40) for holding a mating male connector (M) in a connected state is mounted on the female housing (20). The lock arm (40) is made of metal and includes a press-in portion (42) that can be pressed into press-in grooves (30) of the female housing (20). The lock arm (40) is arranged to face the locks (240) and can be retracted into deformation spaces (330) for the locks (240) during the resilient deformation.
Abstract:
A board connector (10) has a housing (20) with a terminal holding portion (40) for holding terminals (30) in forward and backward directions and a receptacle extends forward from the terminal holding portion (40). Mount grooves (60) are formed in side walls (52) of the receptacle (50). Board fixing portions (70) are held in the mount grooves (60) within the thickness range of the side walls and are soldered to the upper surface of a printed board (P). Mounting portions (54) are formed in the side walls (52) and have open front ends. Restricting members (80) are formed separately from the mating connector and mountable within the thickness range of the side walls (52) forward of the board fixing portions (70). One end of each restricting member (54) engages lower surfaces (54A) of the mounting portions (54) and the other end engages the lower surface of the printed board (P).
Abstract:
A wire connection sleeve includes a pipe-like outer tube (20) and an inner tube (30) inserted inside this outer tube (20). The inner tube (30) is formed by winding a sheet-like metal material (P) formed with projections or recesses into a tubular shape with both ends being open, and a longitudinal middle part of this inner tube (30) serves as an inner-tube small-diameter portion (32) which is so squashed or deformed that the opening size thereof is smaller than those of the opposite longitudinal ends. Thus, connection reliability at connected parts of wires (W) can be improved.
Abstract:
A female terminal fitting (12) has wire barrels (17) to be crimped around a core (10) that extends in a first direction. A connecting portion (18) extends from the wire barrels (17) and is connectable with a male terminal fitting. The wire barrels (17) have a contact surface (22) to be held in contact with the core (10). Grooves (30) are formed in a surface of the wire barrels (17) opposite to the contact surface (22) and extend in a second direction intersecting the first direction.
Abstract:
A plurality of terminal fittings 11 are mounted to a housing 20, board connecting portions 13 having mounting portions 14 at lower ends protrude rearward, fixed fittings 30 having mounting plates 32 at lower edges are mounted to opposite side surfaces of the housing 20, and the mounting portion 14 of each terminal fitting 11 and the mounting plates 32 of the fixed fittings 30 are secured to a PCB 40 by reflow soldering. During the reflow soldering, a drawing force toward the PCB 40 acts on each of the terminal fittings 11 and the fixed fittings 30 based on surface tension of molten solder H, but the center of the fixed fitting 30 in the fore/aft direction of the board connecting portion 13 is positioned forward of the center of gravity position O of a connector 10, and rotation moment Mb toward the PCB 40 acts on the front of the housing 20 based on a drawing force Fb on the side of the fixed fitting 30 to prevent the front from being raised.
Abstract:
Receiving portions (26, 27) for partial locking and full locking are formed on walls of a retainer mount hole (24) in a housing (10). The receiving portions (27) for full locking are before the receiving portions (26) for partial locking with respect to an inserting direction of a retainer (30). Resiliently deformable holding arms (35A, 35B) for partial locking and full locking are cantilevered on the retainer (30), and locking sections (41, 42) resiliently engageable with the corresponding receiving portions (26, 27) are formed at the free ends of the holding arms (35A, 35B). The holding arms (35A) for full locking extend in the inserting direction of the retainer (30) from their supported ends to their free ends, whereas the holding arms (35B) for partial locking extend in a direction opposite from the inserting direction of the retainer (30) from their supported ends to their free ends.
Abstract:
A female housing (40) has a lock arm (40) with an arm main body (43) that cantilevers back from the front of the female housing (40). A lock (46) is formed on the arm main body (43). An unlocking portion (44) is at the rear end of the arm main body (43) and extends normal to the arm main body (43). Arm portions (55) project obliquely downward from the opposite sides of the unlocking portion (44), and are coupled to protection walls (52) to sandwich the unlocking portion (44). Two restricting walls (55) project from the upper ends of the protection walls (52) at positions behind the arm portions (50) and higher than the arm portions (50) and face each other. The restricting walls (55) prevent an operator's finger from touching the arm portions (50).
