Terminal having hanging parts from the sides and one end
View Patent ↗There is provided a terminal of a connector which is surface-mounted on a substrate. A pair of first hanging-down parts extend from both sides of a terminal main body toward the substrate and are connected to a conductor pattern of the substrate. A second hanging-down part hangs down from one end of the terminal main body toward the substrate. The second hanging-down part has a pair of pressing plate portions which are bent toward the first hanging-down parts and is arranged to face each other with overlapping and contacting the first hanging-down parts.
1. A terminal of a connector which is surface-mounted on a substrate, the terminal comprising:
a terminal main body;
a pair of first hanging-down parts extending from both sides of the terminal main body toward the substrate and being connected to a conductor pattern of the substrate; and
a second hanging-down part hanging down from one end of the terminal main body toward the substrate,
wherein the second hanging-down part has a pair of pressing plate portions which are bent toward the first hanging-down parts and is arranged to face each other with overlapping and contacting the first hanging-down parts.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing plate portions are formed with engaging holes, and the first hanging-down parts are formed with engaging piece portions which are engaged into the engaging holes.
3. A connector accommodating the terminal according to claim 1 in a housing thereof, wherein the housing has engaging concave portions in which the pressing plate portions overlapping the first hanging-down parts are fitted.
