In a connector having a housing and a plurality of terminals, the plurality of terminals is configured as surface mount terminals, and each surface mount terminal includes a terminal portion arranged inside the housing, a fixed portion fixed to the housing, and a mount portion soldered to a mount surface of a board. The surface mount terminals are arranged side by side from one side to the other side in a Y-direction when the connector mounted on the mount surface is viewed in an X-direction, and a surface mount terminal having the smallest length dimension from the mount portion to the fixed portion is arranged at the leftmost end in the Y-direction, and the length dimension from the mount portion to the fixed portion is larger or the same dimension according to the arrangement order from the left side to the right side in the Y-direction.

A substrate-mounting connector includes a housing, a contact mounted to the housing, and a shield shell. The shield shell includes a first plate and a second plate disposed adjacently. A part of the first plate serves as a first contact portion. A first extension piece is formed in the second plate. A part of the first extension piece serves as a second contact portion. A part of the housing serves as a pressing portion facing the first plate, in a covering state in which the shield shell is mounted to the housing. A part of the first plate, different from the first contact portion, or a part of the first extension piece, different from the second contact portion, serves as a pressed portion pressed by the pressing portion in the covering state. The pressing portion presses the pressed portion to make the first contact portion contact the second contact portion.

Connector for mounting to a substrate

A connector comprises a housing and a terminal assembly accommodated in the housing. The housing has two sidewalls in a lateral direction and a coupling portion. Each of the sidewalls has a through hole, an upper sidewall and a lower sidewall. The through hole pierces the sidewall in the lateral direction. The upper sidewall is located on the through hole while the lower sidewall is located under the through hole. The coupling portion is located at a front side of the through hole. The upper side wall and the lower sidewall of each of the sidewalls are coupled by the coupling portion. The terminal assembly has a shell formed with a protrusion. The protrusion is visible through the through hole from outside in the lateral direction.

Connector and mating connector

A connector comprises a contact, an inner housing, an inner shell, an outer housing and an outer shell. The inner housing holds the contact. The inner shell covers, at least in part, the inner housing. The outer housing holds the inner shell. The outer shell covers, at least in part, the outer housing. The inner shell has a connected portion and a connection portion. The connection portion extends from the connected portion and is directly connected with an attachment object when the connector is attached to the attachment object. A boundary between the connected portion and the connection portion is positioned apart from and rearward of the front end of the connector.

Connector

Provided is a connector comprising a plurality of rows of contacts and minimized in a front-rear direction. A first contactpositioned in an upper-row has a special shape constituted by a held portionheld by a housing, a connection portionextending in a width direction from a rear end of the held portion, a first bent portionextending from a front end of the connection portionand being bent downward, and a first contact portionextending downward from the first bent portion. A second contactpositioned in a lower-row has an L-shape. A second contact portionof the second contactis positioned obliquely rearward of the first contact portionof the first contact

A connector is mateable with a mating connector having a mating terminal. The connector comprises a housing and a terminal held by the housing. The housing has an accommodating portion and a lock portion which are formed integrally. The terminal is accommodated in the accommodating portion so as to be connectable to the mating terminal. When the connector is in a mated state where the connector is mated with the mating connector, the lock portion locks the mated state. In detail, the lock portion has a flexible portion and a lock protrusion. The flexible portion is located over the accommodating portion. The lock protrusion is provided on the flexible portion. No wall is provided between the flexible portion and the accommodating portion so that the flexible portion is resiliently deformable toward the accommodating portion. The lock protrusion moves downward when the flexible portion is resiliently deformed downward.
