An electrical connector is provided for mounting on a circuit board and includes a dielectric housing mounting a plurality of first terminals having circuit board press-fit portions projecting therefrom. A plurality of second terminals are mounted on the housing and have circuit board press-fit portions projecting therefrom. A press-fitting block is engageable with the housing and is locked to the first terminals for press-fitting the first terminals into holes in the circuit board. The press-fit portions of the second terminals are exposed exteriorly of the housing and the press-fitting block for locking engagement by an appropriate independent pressfitting jig for press-fitting the second terminals into holes in the circuit board.

Board-mounted electrical connector

A connector for mounting to a circuit board, includes a housing and a plurality of terminals arranged side by side at the predetermined pitch. Each terminal includes a flat base portion, a pair of contact members formed from a continuous folded-back portion that is folded back to one side of the flat base portion, and a carrier coupling section that is bent at substantially right angle to the opposite side of the flat base portion. The housing holds the terminals by an over-molding of the housing around the flat base portions of the terminals to form a generally flat plate-like housing. The pair of contact members of the terminal extends toward one surface of the dielectric housing and the carrier coupling section extends toward the other surface of the housing.

Low-profile connector for circuit boards

A low-profile receptacle connector for use in making a required electric connection between an integrated circuit package and a printed circuit board includes a terminal housing part that is sandwiched between the integrated circuit package and the printed circuit board, and the terminal housing part has terminals embedded therein. Each terminal includes a flat trunk and at least one cantilever-like contact arm integrally connected to its flat trunk. The terminals are arranged with their flat trunks parallel to the plane of the terminal housing part, and are supported by the terminal housing part by allowing the mold to overhang the opposite lateral and longitudinal edges of the trunk of each terminal.

Low-profile receptacle connector

A plug connector ( ) to be actually mounted on one substrate K and a receptacle connector ( ) to be actually mounted on the other substrate K are provided. The receptacle connector is provided with a housing ( ) into which the plug connector is to be inserted ad a plurality of pin terminals ( ) arranged in an array to the housing. The plug connector is provided with a plurality of contacts ( ) having contact pieces ( ) in electrical contact with the respective pin terminals and a housing ( ) for holding the respective contacts. A plurality of vertical shield plates ( ) are provided between the respective pin terminals in the receptacle connector. A plurality of horizontal shield plate ( ) are provided to intersect with the vertical shield plates ( ) in a cruciform manner within said plug connector. Slits for advancing the vertical shield plates are formed in the housing of the plug connector and the horizontal shield plate ( ).
