Abstract

A connector mounting structure on a circuit board is presented. A connector has a plurality of terminals comprising a first terminal separated with a predetermined pitch and a second terminal separated with a pitch larger than the predetermined pitch. The first and second terminals have respectively a first tail part facing toward the circuit board and a second tail part bent on the circuit board side after extended in the lateral direction of the connector housing. The first tail part is reflow-soldered to a land part formed on the surface of the circuit board, and the bent top end of the second tail part is inserted into a mounting hole penetrating the other land part formed on the circuit board and reflow-soldered. In this mounting structure of the connector, it is simultaneously possible to narrow a pitch between terminals and to increase the peeling strength.

Claims

1. A mounting structure for mounting a connector on a circuit board,

wherein said connector comprises a plurality of terminals arranged in a connector housing,

wherein said terminals comprise first terminals separated with a predetermined pitch, and second terminals separated with a pitch larger than said predetermined pitch,

wherein each of said first terminals has a first tail part facing toward said circuit board, and each of said second terminals has a second tail part bent on the circuit board side after extended in the lateral direction of said connector housing,

wherein said first tail part is reflow-soldered to a land part formed on the surface of said circuit board, and a bent top end of said second tail part is inserted into a mounting hole penetrating the other land part formed on the surface of said circuit board and reflow-soldered to said other land part.

2. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 1, wherein said second tail part is extended in the lateral direction of said connector housing beyond said first tail part.

3. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 1, wherein one pair for each of said first terminals and said second terminals are respectively arranged in the width direction of said connector housing.

4. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 1, wherein said first terminal is a signal terminal and said second terminal is a terminal other than the signal terminal.

5. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 1, wherein said connector housing is a socket housing and/or a plug housing of a board-to-board type connector.

6. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 1, wherein said connector housing comprises an outside housing formed to have a frame shape and an inside housing arranged in the medial part of said outside housing, wherein said inside housing is supported in a floating state with said outside housing through said first terminal and second terminals.

7. A mounting structure for mounting a connector on a circuit board,

wherein said connector has a plurality of terminals arranged in a connector housing,

wherein said terminals comprise a first terminal separated with a predetermined pitch and a second terminal separated with a pitch larger than said predetermined pitch,

wherein said first terminal has a first tail part facing toward said circuit board and said second terminal has a second tail part bent on the circuit board side after extended in the lateral direction of said connector housing,

wherein said first tail part is reflow-soldered to a land part formed on the surface of said circuit board,

a bent top end of said second tail part is inserted into a mounting hole penetrating the other land part formed on the surface of said circuit board and reflow-soldered to said other land part,

said second tail part is extended in the lateral direction of said connector housing beyond said first tail part, and

one pair for each of said first terminals and said second terminals are respectively arranged in the width direction of said connector housing.

8. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 7, wherein said first terminal is a signal terminal and said second terminal is a terminal other than the signal terminal.

9. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 8, wherein said connector housing is a socket housing and/or a plug housing of a board-to-board type connector.

10. The mounting structure of the connector according to claim 9,

wherein said connector housing comprises an outside housing formed to have a frame shape and an inside housing arranged in the medial part of said outside housing,

wherein said inside housing is supported in a floating state with said outside housing through said first terminal and second terminal.
