Abstract
A connector for mounting on a printed wiring board includes a housing, contact terminals disposed in the housing, a fixing member, and a hood detachably connected to the housing with the fixing member. The contact terminals each have a contact pin to contact a mating connector and a terminal portion to contact a wiring pattern on the printed wiring board. The hood includes a protruding portion having an insertion hole, whereas the housing includes a cavity to accommodate the protruding portion and a vertical hole, with which the insertion hole is communicated when the protruding portion is accommodated in the cavity. The fixing member includes a projected rod. The projected rod is inserted into the vertical hole and the insertion hole, thereby allowing the hood to be detachably attached to the housing.
