Attorney, Agent or Firm:
An electrical connector (1) for circuit board installation is provided using solder pegs (60) to reduce the mounting area. Mounting holes (40) for insertion of solder pegs (60) are provided, along the side walls (36), on both sides of the housing (2) of the electrical connector (1) to be installed on a circuit board (30). The mounting holes (40) are formed perpendicular to the circuit board (30), from the top wall (18) of the housing (2) toward the bottom wall (34). The mounting holes (40) are connected to the mating aperture (6) of the connector (1), and are opened to the outside via the bottom part of the side walls (36). When the solder pegs (60) are inserted into the mounting holes (40) and the connectors are mated, a mating connector is guided by a solder peg face (61) of the solder pegs (60). The mounting holes (40) are connected by solder to the circuit board (30) at the tip (62a), and the tips (62a) of the solder pegs (60) serve as solder connection parts which can be visually inspected from the outside via the opening. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention was devised in light of the above problem.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector having a housing size which can be reduced, and the mounting area for which is small when installed on a circuit board.
Another objective of the invention is to provide an electrical connector which, while having a small housing width, can guide the other connector during mating.
Still another objective of the invention is to provide an electrical connector such that, when fixing in place by soldering to the circuit board, the state of the soldering can be confirmed, and moreover repair of the soldering part is also possible.
The electrical connector of the present invention has multiple contacts, a housing to retain said contacts, and solder pegs to solder and fix into place said housing on a circuit board.
The housing has mounting holes on both sides of said housing for vertical insertion and fixing of the solder pegs onto the circuit board, and the solder pegs are formed in an approximately planar shape.
The solder pegs are soldered and fixed in place on the circuit board at a fracture plane of the tip of the solder peg.
Vertical insertion and fixing in place with respect to the circuit board also includes cases of insertion and fixing in place with some degree of inclination, in which the angle is not exactly 90.
degree.
with respect to the circuit board.
Moreover, the mounting holes of the electrical connector of this invention may be linked with the mating aperture of the housing to accept a mating connector, and one surface of the solder pegs which is inserted and fixed into place in the mounting holes may be approximately in the same plane as a side wall delineating the mating aperture.
Further, the mounting holes of the electrical connector of this invention may be opened to the outside in proximity to the circuit board on which the connector is mounted.
The housing of the electrical connector of this invention has mounting holes on both sides for the vertical insertion and fixing in place of solder pegs with respect to the circuit board
