Abstract

A peg press-fitting structure for a connector includes a peg which is made from a metal plate to fix a housing of the connector to a circuit board, and which is attached to the housing by being press-fitted from the distal end of the peg into a peg attaching slot of the housing of the connector. The housing is provided with an end wall where an entrance of the peg attaching slot opens. A press-fitting position regulating projection, which regulates the press-fitting position of the peg by abutting against the end wall of the housing where the entrance of the peg attaching slot opens, is provided closer to the base end of the peg than a press-fitted portion of the peg that is press-fitted into the peg attaching slot.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A peg press-fitting structure for a connector comprising a peg which is made from a metal plate to fix a housing of the connector to a circuit board, and which is attached to the housing by being press-fitted from the distal end of the peg into a peg attaching slot of the housing of the connector, wherein
the housing is provided with an end wall where an entrance of the peg attaching slot opens, and a press-fitting position regulating projection, which regulates the press-fitting position of the peg by abutting against the end wall of the housing where the entrance of the peg attaching slot opens, is provided closer to the base end of the peg than a press-fitted portion of the peg that is press-fitted into the peg attaching slot.

2 . The peg press-fitting structure for the connector according to claim 1 , wherein a board of the peg is provided with an obliquely cut-and-raised piece, whose distance from the board increases gradually toward the press-fitting direction of the peg, as the press-fitting position regulating projection, and the distal end of the cut-and-raised piece abuts against the end wall of the housing where the entrance of the peg attaching slot opens.

3 . The peg press-fitting structure for the connector according to claim 1 , wherein the peg is connected to a grounding circuit of the circuit board at the same time by being inserted and fixed into a through hole of the circuit board, and the base end side of the peg is formed as a part which electrically contact a grounding member which a mating side connector is provided with when the connector is engaged with the mating side connector.

4 . The peg press-fitting structure for the connector according to claim 2 , wherein the peg is connected to a grounding circuit of the circuit board at the same time by being inserted and fixed into a through hole of the circuit board, and the base end side of the peg is formed as a part which electrically contact a grounding member which a mating side connector is provided with when the connector is engaged with the mating side connector.
