Abstract
To provide a termination plate preventing the soldered connections of the termination sections of contacts from cracking even when external forces are applied to the contacts of a connector mounted to a printed circuit board. Slots (54, 56, 58, 60, 62) are provided in a termination plate (50) of a connector (10). The termination plate (50) has multiple through holes (52) for insertion of termination sections (22) of contacts (20) arranged in three rows parallel to the length of the housing length. Through holes (52) of one row are connected in groups of two or more by the slots (54, 56, 58, 60, 62) extending parallel to the length of the housing.
