Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a rectangular flat-plate housing including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, and a contact row and a contact row held on the housing. The housing includes a first pitch side surface and a second pitch side surface on an opposite side of the first pitch side surface. The contact row and the contact row extend from the first pitch side surface to the second pitch side surface. The first positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row, and the second positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A board-to-board connector to be mounted on a first board and interposed between the first board and a second board to electrically connect a plurality of pads of the first board with a plurality of pads of the second board respectively, comprising: a rectangular flat-plate housing including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole; and a first contact row and a second contact row held on the housing, wherein the housing includes only the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole as positioning holes for positioning the second board with respect to the board-to-board connector, the first contact row and the second contact row are disposed to separate from each other in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the first contact row, the housing includes a first side surface on one side thereof and a second side surface on another side thereof opposite to the one side, the first contact row and the second contact row extend from the first side surface to the second side surface, the first positioning hole is disposed between the first side surface and the first contact row, the second positioning hole is disposed between the first side surface and the second contact row, a third contact row disposed between the first contact row and the second contact row and extending from the first side surface to the second side surface, and a distance D 1 between the first contact row and the first side surface, a distance D 2 between the second contact row and the first side surface, and a distance D 3 between the third contact row and the first side surface satisfy relationships of D 3 <D 1 and D 3 <D 2 . 2. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein a notch open to the first side surface or a hole is formed between the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole. 3. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein a distance E 1 between the first contact row and the second side surface, a distance E 2 between the second contact row and the second side surface, and a distance E 3 between the third contact row and the second side surface satisfy relationships of E 3 >E 1 and E 3 >E 2 .
