Abstract
The present invention provides a connector capable of being easily and reliably coupled to a printed circuit board. A connector () comprises two sets of a plurality of lead parts () and a plurality of lead parts () extending from one side surface () of a housing () to be opposite to each other. A printed circuit board () includes slot () abutting on the side surfaces () to () of the housing (), and edge connectors (A) and (B) are formed on both surfaces of an edge abutting on the one side surface (). The edge connectors (A) and (B) are inserted between the lead parts () and (), and the lead parts () and () are soldered to the edge connectors (A) and (B), respectively. In a pair of first protrusions (A) and (B), a recess () for gripping the printed circuit board () is formed, and the recess () is aligned in the same row as the opposing gap between the lead parts () and (), The second protrusions (A) and (B) each have a supporting surface abutting on one surface of the printed circuit board (), and respectively protrude from the side surfaces () and () arranged opposite to each other.
