Abstract

A connector includes a flat-plate housing made of insulating resin and including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, a plurality of contacts held on the housing, and a first hold-down and a second hold-down made of metal and disposed to correspond to a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, respectively. The housing includes a CPU board opposed surface to be opposed to a CPU board. The first hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding first positioning hole. The second hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding second positioning hole.

First claim

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 flat-plate housing made of insulating resin and including a plurality of positioning holes;
a plurality of contacts held on the housing; and
a plurality of reinforcing members made of metal and disposed to correspond to the plurality of positioning holes respectively, wherein
the housing includes a second board opposed surface to be opposed to the second board,
each of the reinforcing members includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the second board opposed surface around a corresponding one of the positioning holes, and
each of the reinforcing members is disposed in such a way that the reinforcing plate part of the reinforcing member does not cover an inner edge of a corresponding one of the positioning holes when viewed in a thickness direction of the housing;
wherein the flat-plate housing includes a plurality of press-fit grooves; and
wherein the press-fit grooves of the flat-plate housing hold the reinforcing members by press-fitting.

2. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of reinforcing members are formed integrally to be continuous with one another.

3. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of positioning holes are formed to penetrate the housing.

4. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of positioning holes are configured to receive respective positioning pins therethrough that extend through the flat-plate housing.
