Problems solved by technology

Also, because the solder tail extends from the flexible, elongated arm on the outside of the connector, the strength of the solder joint is reduced
Also, due to the length of this solder tail, the signal must travel a long distance before it makes electrical communication with the circuitry on the board
This excessive length may be a factor in timing with high-speed signals
Finally, the connector has only one point of electrical plus mechanical engagement with the printed circuit board, potentially resulting in a weak electromechanical connection

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Hereinafter, a board connection connector according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a board-to-board connector device 1 is arranged between opposing circuit boards 2 and 3 (FIG. 2). The connector device 1 includes a plug connector 11 and a socket connector 12, the plug connector 11 is a male connector soldered to a circuit board 2, and the socket connector 12 is a female connector soldered to another circuit board 3 Connector. When the plug connector and the receptacle connector are connected, the respective terminals are electrically connected to each other.

[0015] The plug connector 11 has a plug housing 21 made of a non-conductive material. The plug housing 21 has a connection portion 22 formed as a rectangular flat plate, and relatively thick-walled mating protrusions 23 provided on each side of the connection portion 22 and extending along the entire length of the conne...

Abstract

A board mounted connector for a board to board connector system is disclosed which can be smaller, provide a more robust connection to a conductive circuit on a printed circuit board while allowing for a high degree of circuit design freedom on the board circuit due to the terminal insertion from the mating side of the housing where the terminals are generally above a bottom portion (33) of the non-conductive housing (31) adjacent the board. The housing (31) is provided with fitting holes (37) extending from an end surface (32d) on the side which mates with the male housing (21). The female terminals (35) have anchor portions (36) to be fitted into the fitting holes (37) of the female housing (31) and contact portions (35b) to engage terminals in a mating connector. Forward end portions (36a) of the anchor portions (36) are soldered to a circuit terminal of the board (3). Cut out portions (39) in the rectangular frame portion (32) allow for the solder joint between the end portion (36a) and the conductive circuit (38) to be inspected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a board mount connector for connecting printed circuit boards to each other. Background technique [0002] Existing board-to-board connector arrangements include a male or plug connector to be soldered to one circuit board, and a female or receptacle connector to be soldered to another circuit board. The male and female connectors are designed to engage each other and fit snugly. The plug and receptacle connectors are respectively provided with plug and receptacle terminals to be soldered to conductive circuits on the circuit board. When the mated plug and receptacle are mated together, the plug and receptacle terminals electrically engage each other, thereby connecting the conductive circuitry from one circuit board to the other. [0003] Various types of board-to-board connectors have been used in the past. One such board connector has a receptacle terminal having a contact portion for electrically engaging a plug ...
