JP-A-10-308265

  In the case of the board mounting connector disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the soldered portion of the pin must perform two functions of fixing the connector housing and connecting the signal, the socket connector on the other side is connected to the board mounting connector. If a load that occurs when inserting or removing is applied to a pin, the load is applied to the soldered part of the pin that is a fixed part of the connector housing and also a signal connecting part, and the soldered part is peeled off from the printed circuit board, etc. Thus, the electrical reliability of the connector becomes a problem.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such points, and the object of the present invention is to be a part to be soldered to a conductor pattern of a printed wiring board or other mounting object on a header contact provided on the header connector. The two parts, the soldering part of the two parts, share the two functions of fixing the header housing and connecting the signal, or distribute the two functions to the soldering parts of the two parts. Thus, while the header housing is securely fixed, the soldering portion is prevented from being peeled off to ensure the signal connection function and to improve the electrical reliability of the header connector.

  In order to achieve the above object, claim 1 is a header contact provided on a header connector mounted on the surface of a mounting object having a conductor pattern, and the header contact is a socket contact of a mating socket connector. The contact part which contacts, and the 1st connection part and the 2nd connection part soldered to the conductor pattern of a mounting target are provided.

  When this header contact is provided on the header housing to form a header connector, and the first connection portion and the second connection portion of the header contact are soldered to the conductor pattern of the mounting target, the header connector is mounted on the mounting target. When the socket connector is inserted into the header connector, the contact portion of the header contact comes into contact with the socket contact. When the socket connector is removed from the header connector, the header contact is separated from the socket contact. In that case, if one of the soldering part of the first connecting part and the soldering part of the second connecting part exhibits the header housing fixing function, and the other exhibits the signal connecting function, the socket connector is inserted. Or the load which arises when removing is mainly applied to the former soldering part, and hardly takes the latter soldering part. Further, if both the soldering portion of the first connecting portion and the soldering portion of the second connecting portion exhibit both the header housing fixing function and the signal connecting function, the socket connector is inserted or removed. The load is distributed and applied to the soldering part of the first connection part and the soldering part of the second connection part. As a result, the signal connection function is reliably ensured, and the electrical reliability of the header connector is improved. Furthermore, since the header housing is not provided with a member separate from the header contact such as a reinforcing metal fitting, the number of parts does not increase, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the management man-hour is reduced. .

  The header contact according to claim 2 is the header contact according to claim 1, wherein either one of the first connection portion and the second connection portion is soldered to a fixing conductor pattern of the mounting target, and the other is a signal of the mounting target.

They are arranged so as to form a triangle when viewed from a direction that is sometimes orthogonal to the surface of the mounting object.

  In this way, for example, when the two header contacts are mounted on the header housing and mounted on the mounting object, the contact parts approach each other as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mounting object, and the first connection part and the first connection part If the two connecting portions are provided so as to be positioned at substantially four corners of the header housing, the header housing fixing function by the header contact is exhibited in a balanced manner, and the connection strength of the header housing to the mounting object is further stabilized.

  The header contact according to claim 5 is formed by bending one plate having a predetermined shape in the header contact according to any one of claims 1 to 4, and one end of the linear shape of the plate. Opposite surfaces to the conductor pattern of the mounting object in the first connection portion and the second connection portion are formed by the end surfaces of the edges.

  In this case, since the facing surfaces of the mounting object in the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to the conductor pattern are located on a common plane, so-called coplanarity or coplanarity is improved. Is formed stably.

  A header connector according to a sixth aspect includes a header housing and the header contact according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, which is provided on the header housing.

The header contacts at both ends of the header contact are the header contacts according to any one of claims 1 to 5.

  In this way, the header housing is securely fixed by the header contacts at both ends, the peeling of the soldered portion is prevented, the signal connection function is secured, and the electrical reliability of the header connector is improved. In addition, by using a single header contact connection between the header contacts at both ends, the pitch between the header contacts can be reduced, and the header connector can be made compact.

  The header contact according to claim 1 is provided with two parts to be soldered to the conductor pattern of the mounting object, and the two parts of the soldering part share the two functions of fixing the header housing and connecting the signal. Or, since the two functions are distributed and given to the soldering parts of these two parts, the header housing is securely fixed and the soldering part is prevented from being peeled off to ensure the signal connection function. The electrical reliability of the header connector can be improved.

  According to the second aspect, since the two functions of fixing the header housing and connecting the signal are assigned to the soldering portions of the two connecting portions, the signal connecting function can be performed while the header housing is fixed securely. The electrical reliability of the header connector can be improved.

  According to the third aspect, since the two functions of fixing the header housing and connecting the signal are distributed to the soldered portions of the two connecting portions, the signal connection is performed while the header housing is fixed securely. Thus, the electrical reliability of the header connector can be improved.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, for example, the two header contacts are connected to the header housing and the contact portions are close to each other when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mounting target when mounted on the mounting target, and the first connection is made. If the portion and the second connecting portion are provided so as to be positioned at almost four corners of the header housing, the header housing fixing function by the header contact is exerted in a balanced manner, and the connection strength of the header housing to the mounting object is further stabilized. be able to.

  According to the fifth aspect, since the facing surfaces of the mounting objects in the first connection portion and the second connection portion are located on a common plane, so-called coplanarity or coplanarity is improved. A soldering part can be formed stably.

  According to the header connector of claim 6, the same effect as that of claim 1 can be obtained.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the header contact is securely fixed by the header contacts at both ends, and the function of signal connection is ensured by preventing the soldering portion from being peeled off. In addition, by using a single header contact connecting portion between the header contacts at both ends, the pitch between the header contacts can be reduced, and the header connector can be made compact.
