Abstract
A board mounted connector for a board to board connector system is disclosed which can be smaller, provide a more robust connection to a conductive circuit on a printed circuit board while allowing for a high degree of circuit design freedom on the board circuit due to the terminal insertion from the mating side of the housing where the terminals are generally above a bottom portion () of the non-conductive housing () adjacent the board. The housing () is provided with fitting holes () extending from an end surface () on the side which mates with the male housing (). The female terminals () have anchor portions () to be fitted into the fitting holes () of the female housing () and contact portions () to engage terminals in a mating connector. Forward end portions () of the anchor portions () are soldered to a circuit terminal of the board (). Cut out portions () in the rectangular frame portion () allow for the solder joint between the end portion () and the conductive circuit () to be inspected.
