First Claim
1. A method of forming a printed circuit board having a connector comprising:
- providing a base portion including terminals projecting therefrom;
inserting each of the terminals projecting from the base portion into a respective terminal aperture provided on the printed circuit board;
fitting a rib projecting from the bottom surface of the base portion with an aperture provided on the printed circuit board;
temporarily fixing the bottom surface of the base portion, the bottom surface contacting a surface of the printed circuit board;
fixing with soldering each of the terminals inserted into the terminal apertures of the printed circuit board;
fitting a connector housing with the base portion, the connector housing having a fitting hole within which the base portion is fitted; and
placing the connector housing on the printed circuit board while the terminals are housed within the connector housing.
