According to the present invention, in the connector with a guide, there is obtained the connector with a guide, wherein the insulator portion is fixed to one surface of the substrate so that the one surface is along the first direction. .

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the foot portion does not move back and forth while rubbing on the board by assembling the insulator portion and the frame portion from above, a component is placed at a place other than the board mounting portion of the foot portion. It can be installed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connector with a guide according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exploded assembly of the connector with a guide of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an assembly of the connector shown in FIGS. It is a perspective view showing a state.

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a connector 1 with a guide according to an embodiment of the present invention is a groove in which openings for guiding the mating connector 50 in the direction of arrow 51 in the direction of fitting / removing are opposed to each other. A frame portion 10 having guide portions 14a and 14b made of a metal on both sides, and a large number of conductive pin contacts 2
And an insulator portion 20 having an electrically insulating property for holding 1 in an aligned manner.

As best shown in FIG. 2, the frame portion 10 is provided on the projecting pieces 10a at both ends and forms a part of a connector coupling portion for coupling with the coupling shaft 25 of the insulator portion 20. A coupling hole 11; a square recessed portion 12 recessed from the outside of the coupling hole 11 of the projecting piece 10a from the outside; a foot portion 13 provided on each side of the frame portion 10 on each side; In order to guide the mating connector 50, the frame is provided with guide portions 14a and 14b each having one side of the frame and having U-shapes on both sides and provided so as to face their openings.

The insulator portion 20 includes a horn portion 22 provided at one end on both sides, which is a plate piece protruding toward the upper surface in the figure, and a prismatic leg portion 23 provided at four corners of the bottom surface. , The insulator portion 20 is provided near one end on both sides, and the recess portion 26 is recessed inward from the side surface of the insulator portion 20, the groove portion 24 formed between the recess portion 26 and the horn portion 22, and from the center of the recess portion 26. A coupling shaft 25 having a cylindrical shape protruding on both sides and forming another part of the connector coupling portion
In addition, the one end of the pin contact 21 is aligned and held in the connector coupling direction. Although not shown, the other end of the contact 21, which is opposite to the one end, extends downward from the bottom of the insulator portion 20 and projects so that it can be soldered to the substrate.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the connector 1 is used, the other end of the contact 21 is soldered onto the substrate 2 and the insulator portion 20 is fixed onto the substrate 2.

In order to assemble the connector 1 from the frame portion 10 and the insulator 20, the connector 12 is assembled into the coupling hole 11 of the frame portion 10 by inserting the coupling shaft 25 of the insulator portion 20, and then the recessed portion 12 of the frame portion 10 is removed. The frame part 10 is inserted into the groove part 24 of the 20.
Is completed by rotating (see FIG. 1). Here, the horn portion 22 serves to prevent the frame portion 10 that has entered the groove portion 24 from opening. At the end of assembly, the foot portion 13 is placed on the shaded portion 3 of the board, so that the frame portion 10
The bottom surface of the board floats above the board 2, and the space formed between the bottom of the frame and the board 2 by the feet 13
Electronic components 4, 5 such as chip inductors and capacitors can be mounted.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the insulator portion and the frame portion are assembled from above by using the coupling shaft and the coupling hole, so that the foot portion rubs the substrate, Since it does not move back and forth, it has the effect of increasing the component mounting area on the board.
