Board connector, mating connector, and electronic device including the same
First Claim
1. A board connector comprising:
- a plurality of contacts each having an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) terminal to be connected to a wiring pattern on a board;
an insulator having a first insulator portion extending in a first direction and two second insulator portions each extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first insulator portion having first ends in the first direction, the first insulator portion having a bottom surface, each of the second insulator portions having a second end, the second insulator portions extending from the first ends to the second ends, respectively, the second ends being positioned on an imaginary straight line, the first insulator portion, the second insulator portions and the imaginary straight line defining a predetermined area, the first insulator portion holding the plurality of contacts so that the SMT terminal is positioned in the predetermined area or on the bottom surface of the first insulator portion as seen from below the board connector; and
a shell covering, at least in part, the insulator.

Abstract
A board connector has a plurality of contacts, an insulator holding the plurality of contacts, and a shell covering at least a part of the insulator. Each contact has an SMT terminal to be connected to a wiring pattern on a board. The insulator has a first insulator portion extending in an X-direction and two second insulator portions each extending in a Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction. The first insulator portion has a bottom surface and first ends in the X-direction. Each second insulator portion has second ends. Each second insulator portion extends from the first ends to the second ends, respectively. The second ends are positioned on an imaginary straight line. The first insulator portion, the second insulator portions, and the imaginary straight line define a predetermined area. The SMT terminals are held by the insulator so that the SMT terminals are positioned within the predetermined area.
