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, and the second positioning hole is disposed between the first side surface and the second contact row. 2. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , further comprising: a reinforcing member made of metal, wherein the housing includes a second board opposed surface to be opposed to the second board, and the reinforcing member includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the second board opposed surface around the first positioning hole or the second positioning hole. 3. The board-to-board connector according to claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing member is disposed in such a way that the reinforcing plate part of the reinforcing member does not cover an inner edge of the first positioning hole or the second positioning hole when viewed in a thickness direction of the housing. 4. The board-to-board connector according to claim 2 , wherein the first contact row includes a plurality of contacts, each of the contacts includes an electrical contact spring piece projecting from the second board opposed surface, and an accommodation recess to accommodate the reinforcing plate part of the reinforcing member is formed on the second board opposed surface of the housing. 5. The board-to-board connector according to claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing member further includes a soldering part projecting toward the first board from the reinforcing plate part of the reinforcing member and connectable by soldering to a pad of the first board. 6. The board-to-board connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first positioning hole is a round hole, and the second positioning hole is a slotted hole.
