Abstract
Disclosed is an improvement of board-to-board connection type electric connector which comprises: a terminal housing having terminals laterally arranged and fixed at regular intervals with two contact legs of each terminal exposed from the housing; a connector casing to accommodate the terminal housing loosely; means to hold the underlying printed board in contact with the lower contact legs of the terminals; and means to retain resiliently the overlying printed board in the contact position with upper contact legs of the terminals. Thus, a required electrical connection can be made without soldering numerous small terminals of the connector to printed circuits. Therefore, arrangement of numerous small terminals at narrow intervals will cause no difficulty in making a required electrical connection.
