Abstract

A connector includes a housing and terminal fittings attached to a printed circuit board. The terminal fittings form two terminal rows. In the terminal rows, one end parts of the terminal fittings are piled in a fitting plate part of the housing to which a mate side connector is fitted in a mutually parallel state and arranged in parallel with a surface of the printed circuit board. Central parts of the terminal fittings are bent. The other end parts are connected to a conductor pattern of the printed circuit board. In the other end parts of the terminal fittings, outward bent parts are provided which are bent outward in the direction of width of the housing. Tip ends of the other end parts of all the terminal fittings are arranged with spaces left between them along the direction of width of the housing.

Claims (9)

1. A connector including:

a housing attached to a printed circuit board; and

two terminal fitting rows, each terminal fitting row having a plurality of terminal fittings whose one end parts are piled in a fitted part of the housing to which a mate side connector is fitted in a mutually parallel state and arranged in parallel with a surface of the printed circuit board, whose central parts are bent and whose the other end parts are connected to a conductor pattern of the printed circuit board,

wherein in the other end part of at least one terminal fitting of the plurality of terminal fittings in each terminal fitting row, an outward bent part bent outward in a direction of width of the housing is provided, and

the outward bent parts are provided in the other end parts of the terminal fittings so that tip ends of the other end parts of the plurality of terminal fittings in the two terminal fitting rows are alternately arranged in a line with spaces left between them along the direction of width of the housing.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the two terminal fitting rows are provided with spaces left between them in the direction intersecting the surface of the printed circuit board.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the outward bent parts of the terminal fittings located nearer to outer sides in the direction of width of the housing are provided nearer to the central parts of the terminal fittings than the outward bent parts of the terminal fittings located nearer to a central part in the direction of width of the housing among the plurality of terminal fittings in the terminal fitting rows.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein bending angles of the outward bent parts of the terminal fittings located nearer to outer sides in the direction of width of the housing are larger than bending angles of the outward bent parts of the terminal fittings located nearer to the central part in the direction of width of the housing among the plurality of terminal fittings in the terminal fitting rows.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the tip ends of the other end parts are provided with connecting parts to be connected to the conductor pattern, wherein a longitudinal direction of the connecting parts is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the one end parts.
