Abstract
A connector mounted on a printed-circuit board includes a case and a plurality of terminals extending from the case. A base is arranged on a bottom surface of the case. Two metal plates are arranged on the base. Soldering is performed with the two metal plates and the terminals inserted through the printed-circuit board. This facilitates the coupling of the connector to the printed-circuit board. The base and the two metal plates are arranged within an area defined by the case. This decreases the area occupied by the connector on the printed-circuit board.
