The spacing between the rows of the first ends 28 of the conductor member 14, the pitch, the length of the portion protruding from the front surface 16, etc., conform to the form of a conventional plug. Therefore, if necessary, the conductor member 14
It is also possible to have one row, or three or more rows of the first ends 28.

In this embodiment, the driving positions of the conductor members 14 are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the main body 12 (left-right direction in FIG. 2), that is, they form a row, and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body 12. It is also consistent.

The second ends 30, that is, the terminal portions of each of the conductor members 14 also protrude in two rows from the rear surface 18, which is the surface opposite the front surface 16 of the main body 12, in the same arrangement as the first ends. . Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the conductor member 14
The lower set of rows at the second end 30 of the second end 30 terminate in a downwardly extending portion 32 and the upper set of rows terminate in an upwardly extending portion 34. These parts 32 and 3
The outer or rear surfaces 36,38 of 4 are substantially coplanar.

According to this embodiment, the header is manufactured as follows.

First, the body 12 is formed from a plastic material.

Next, a straight conductor member 14 is driven into this main body 12. The first end 28 of the conductor member 14 remains straight and extended. The lower row set of second ends 30 of conductor members 14 are bent downwardly along rear surface 18 . The upper row set of second ends 30 of conductor members 14 are bent upwardly along rear surface 18 .

The header 10 manufactured in this manner is surface mounted on a printed circuit board (not shown) by, for example, reflow soldering.

That is, the printed circuit board has, on its surface, a linear coating (conductor portion) f of a conductor in a form that matches the second end 30, ie, the terminal portion, of the header 10 to be positioned. Each second end 30 of the header 10 is soldered to a corresponding linear coating by applying a solder-containing liquid onto the linear coating, properly positioning the header 10, and heating them. .

Once installed, one end 28 of the header 10
, that is, the male contacts extend perpendicularly to the plane of the printed circuit board.

For example, they are arranged shifted by half a pitch in the left-right direction in FIG. 5).

According to this embodiment, header 110 is manufactured as follows.

First, the main body 112 is manufactured from a plastic material.

Next, the conductor members 114 are driven into the main body 112 in two rows in a staggered manner, that is, at positions shifted by, for example, a half pitch. After driving the conductor members 114 in two rows in this way,
The lower row set of the second end 130 of the conductor member 114 is bent downward, and the upper row set is bent upward.

The header 110 manufactured in this way is
The header 10 is installed on a printed circuit board in the same manner as the header 10 manufactured according to the embodiment.

Next, a header 210 manufactured by the method according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

This header 210 is different from the header 110 described above.
