Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an electrical connector for a circuit board. [Prior Art] As an electrical connector, an electrical connector of Patent Document 1 is known. Patent Document 1 discloses a housing having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and an electrical connector in which a plurality of terminals are arranged on both side faces of the housing at right angles to the circuit board. The terminal of the electrical connector includes a main body piece housed in a housing portion as a recess formed in a side surface of the housing, a fixed terminal piece extending upward from the upper end of the main body piece and connected to the circuit board, and a fixed terminal piece. The lower end of the main body piece extends, and contacts the terminal piece which is convexly curved downward and elastically contacts the other circuit board. The fixed terminal piece has an upper half portion and a lower half portion, and the upper half portion is inserted into a terminal insertion hole to be described later of the circuit board, and the lower half portion extends along the side surface with a predetermined gap therebetween. The circuit board to which the fixed terminal piece is fixed is formed with a terminal insertion hole for inserting the upper half of the fixed terminal piece. The pair of terminals held by the housing accommodating portion facing each other with respect to each other, the distance between the fixed terminal pieces in the free state is narrower than the interval between the terminal insertion holes. Therefore, when the electrical connector is mounted on the circuit board, the pair of fixed terminal pieces are elastically deformed and separated from each other to widen the interval, and are inserted into the corresponding terminal insertion holes. As a result, the interval between the lower half of the fixed terminal piece and the side surface of the casing is widened. The fixed terminal piece is fixed to the circuit board by soldering the upper surface of the circuit board to -5 - 201131899. In the above Patent Document 1, since the fixed terminal piece is fixed with sufficient strength by solder mounting, a holding fitting for fixing the fixing of the electrical connector or the like is not required. [Prior Art] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-15793 [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the electrical connector of Patent Document 1, before being mounted on a circuit board, A gap is formed between the lower half of the fixed terminal piece and the side surface of the casing, covering the entire area of the lower half. When the electrical connector is mounted on the circuit board, the terminal insertion hole of the circuit board affixes the terminal piece to a force in a direction away from the side surface of the casing. As a result of the elastic deformation of the fixed terminal piece, the gap is further improved. width. That is to say, a gap is often formed between the lower half of the fixed terminal piece and the side surface of the casing, so that the casing may deviate from the normal position in the range of the gap due to an unintended external force. In view of such a situation, the present invention is to provide an electrical connector for a circuit board which is surely prevented from being displaced from a normal position by fixing the position of the casing. -6 · 201131899 [Means for Solving the Problem] The electrical connector for a circuit board according to the present invention is an electrical connector mounted on a circuit board, and includes two housings and a housing facing each other. The side faces are respectively arranged to form a plurality of terminals of the held portion held by the casing; the terminal has, in addition to the held portion, an end portion formed on the circuit board side, and the circuit substrate a first connection portion connected, an end portion formed on the opposite side of the circuit board side, a second connection portion connected to the other circuit substrate, and the side surface between the first connection portion and the second connection portion The extended side faces are opposite portions. In the electric connector for a circuit board, in the side surface facing portion of the terminal, a gap is provided between the side surface facing portion and the second connecting portion, and a position close to the first connecting portion is provided. The housing is abutted against the side surface by elastic pressure, and the side surface facing portion of the terminal abutting on one of the side surfaces and the side surface facing portion of the terminal abutting the other side surface are sandwiched between the housings. The side opposing portions of the terminals arranged at both side faces of the housing abut against the sides of the respective opposing housings with elastic pressure, and the housing is held thereby fixing the position of the housing. The side opposing portion abuts against the side surface of the housing in a position fixed to the vicinity of the first connecting portion of the circuit board, so that the holding force of the housing is increased by holding the housing at the position. Become sure. It is preferable that a side surface of the casing is formed with a notch portion having a gap formed between the first connection portion and the first connection portion. When a notch portion having a gap between the first connection portion and the first connection portion of the terminal is formed on the side surface of the casing, when the first connection portion is soldered to the corresponding circuit portion of the circuit board, the solder also flows in. Into this notch, a large solder joint can be formed here. Thus, the terminal or even the connector can be more firmly fixed to the circuit substrate. It is preferable that a side surface of the casing is formed with a concave portion that opens in a direction in which a part of the longitudinal direction of the side surface of the terminal facing portion faces. By forming the concave portion on the side surface of the casing, it is assumed that even if the solder and the flux are between the side surface facing portion of the terminal and the side surface of the casing, the side surface is opposed to the portion at the position of the concave portion due to the increase in the capillary phenomenon. The spacing from the sides is still very large and wide, so solder and flux do not rise from the position of the recess. Therefore, since the solder and the solder do not reach the second connection portion, the good connection state of the second connection portion to the other circuit substrate can be ensured. [Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the side surface facing portion of the terminal has elastic pressure and abuts against both side surfaces of the casing, and the side surface is opposed to the housing portion, so that the casing is subjected to an inadvertent external force. It also prevents the housing from deviating from the normal position. The side facing portion is in contact with the side surface of the casing at a position adjacent to the first connecting portion of the circuit board and is clamped to the casing. Therefore, the holding force of the casing is increased to keep the holding. indeed.

In the case of the two connecting portions, the length from the elastic wrist portion 23B to the elastically displaceable portion of the second connecting portion 22 becomes larger. Therefore, the amount of elastic displacement of the second connecting portion 22 is increased, so that the second connecting portion 22 can have a large contact pressure with the other circuit board P2 with a large amount of elastic displacement. The circuit part is in contact. The connector 1 in which the first connecting portion 21 is soldered to the corresponding circuit portion of the circuit board P1 is elastically brought into contact with the corresponding circuit portion of the other circuit board P2 by the second connecting portion 22, whereby the circuit board P1 and other circuit boards are used. P2 is electrically connected. In the present embodiment, since the side surface of the plurality of terminals 20 arranged at both side faces of the casing 10 is sandwiched by the casing 10', the connector 1 is mounted on the circuit board P1. The position of the casing 10 can be maintained in a fixed state even if an external force is inadvertently applied to the opposite direction of the terminal. In the opposite direction of the terminal, the housing 10 can be prevented from deviating from the normal position. In the present embodiment, the side opposing portion 24 abuts against the groove bottom surface 13-14-201131899 of the casing 10, and the portion of the side facing portion 24 close to the lower end is clamped, that is, A portion of the portion of the circuit board Ρ 1 that is fixed to the vicinity of the first connecting portion 21 is soldered to the portion of the side surface facing portion 24 that is closer to the upper end of the side facing portion 24 In comparison with the situation, the holding force of the casing 10 becomes larger and can be surely maintained. In the present embodiment, the case where the mutually opposing side faces of the casing are formed at right angles to the circuit board is described, and the shape of the casing is not limited thereto. For example, both side faces of the casing are inclined so as to face each other as they face upward. It is also close. In this case, the terminals having the side facing portions extending in a right angle with respect to the circuit board are attached to both side faces of the casing. By attaching the terminal of such a shape, the side facing portion of the terminal abuts against both side faces of the casing with elastic pressure at a position close to the lower end thereof, and the casing is sandwiched. In the present embodiment, the side surface of the terminal is linearly formed so as to extend closer to the side surface of the casing as it goes downward, and the shape of the terminal is not limited thereto. For example, the side opposing portion extends at right angles to the circuit board. And a part of the position of the side opposing portion near the lower end is formed to be convexly curved toward the side surface of the casing, and the convex curved portion abuts against the side surface of the casing with elastic pressure to sandwich the casing. In the present embodiment, the terminals arranged on both side faces of the casing are held at the same position in the terminal arrangement direction. Instead of this, the terminals arranged on the respective side faces may be shifted from each other in the terminal arrangement direction. The staggered position is maintained. In the present embodiment, the number of terminals arranged on both side faces of the casing is the same as -15 - 201131899, and instead of this, a plurality of terminals different from each other may be arranged on each side.
