其中：（a)為平面圖、為沿著圖四（a)中之E-E 根據圖四所示，本發明另一實施例之基板安裝型電氣連接器11 0亦具有外殼1 2 0、安裝於前述外殼外侧之屏蔽構件 130 '以及定位板40等構件。外殼120與屏蔽構件130構成嵌合於相對連接器之嵌合突部115。屏蔽構件13()在其兩端附近具有閃鎖構造131並固定於外殼120。收容於外殼120 之複數個接觸片150之尖端151係朝著平行於嵌合方向彎曲形成。定位板40係用來定位並收容複數個尖端151。根據圖五所示，可了解閂鎖構造1 3 1以及其他構件之詳細形狀或構成。且’定位板40上形成有用來收容各尖端15ι 之複數個貫穿孔41 a與4 1 b。定位板4 〇利用閂鎖臂4 2保持在外殼120上。外殼120在其兩端設置朝著垂直方向延伸之端壁128。定位板40的閂鎖臂42係構成與端壁128之内面卡Among them: (a) is a plan view, and it is along the EE in FIG. 4 (a). According to FIG. 4, the board-mounted electrical connector 11 0 of another embodiment of the present invention also has a housing 1 2 0 and is installed in the foregoing. The shield member 130 'on the outside of the housing and the positioning plate 40 and the like. The housing 120 and the shield member 130 constitute a fitting projection 115 fitted into the opposing connector. The shield member 13 () has a flash lock structure 131 near its both ends and is fixed to the case 120. Tips 151 of the plurality of contact pieces 150 housed in the casing 120 are formed by bending in a direction parallel to the fitting direction. The positioning plate 40 is used for positioning and receiving a plurality of tips 151. As shown in Fig. 5, the detailed shape or composition of the latch structure 1 31 and other components can be understood. In addition, a plurality of through holes 41 a and 4 1 b are formed in the positioning plate 40 to receive 15 m of each tip. The positioning plate 40 is held on the housing 120 by a latch arm 42. The casing 120 is provided at both ends with end walls 128 extending in a vertical direction. The latch arm 42 of the positioning plate 40 is configured to engage with the inner surface of the end wall 128

第7頁五、發明說明（5) 合。圖四與圖五亦顯示定位板40位於暫時卡合位置。電氣連接器110安裝於基板時’該定位板40即朝著箭號ρ(參考圖五）的方向向最終卡止位置移動。此時缺口 4 6係作為方向鍵的作用。亦即，沿著外殼1 20的兩侧端壁1 28的一外侧面形成突壁129 ’同時缺口 46即與該突壁129卡合。亦即，當定位板40不是在預定的方向而係在旋轉一百八十度的場合時，因該定位板40會與突壁129頂接’而無法向著該卡止位置移動。Page 7 V. Description of Invention (5) Combination. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 also show that the positioning plate 40 is located at the temporarily engaging position. When the electrical connector 110 is mounted on the substrate, the positioning plate 40 is moved toward the final locking position in the direction of the arrow ρ (see FIG. 5). At this time, the notch 4 6 acts as a direction key. That is, a protruding wall 129 'is formed along one outer side surface of both end walls 1 28 of the housing 120, and the notch 46 is engaged with the protruding wall 129. That is, when the positioning plate 40 is not rotated in a predetermined direction but is rotated 180 degrees, the positioning plate 40 is in contact with the protruding wall 129 and cannot move toward the locked position.

根據上述’其重點為定位板40之閂鎖臂42僅以大致一半的寬度延伸，以及從圖五可了解到閂鎖臂4 2的端緣4 7配置在與外殼12G之面125大致頂接的位置。亦即，定位板在形成突壁1 2 9側之相反側位置具有相對於外殼丨2 〇之若干遊動性。而根據後者’定位板4 〇除了朝著從突壁丨2 9脫離之方向移動的自由度外，尚可定位在預定之相對位置。藉此構成，可容易進行朝著定位板40暫時卡合位置的安裝，以及朝著最終卡止位置的移動操作。特別是定位板4〇從暫時卡合位置朝著最終卡止位置移動時’其移動可利用端緣〇與面125的連動作用史尽丨道。丄According to the above, its main point is that the latch arm 42 of the positioning plate 40 extends only approximately half the width, and it can be understood from FIG. 5 that the end edge 4 7 of the latch arm 4 2 is arranged to substantially abut on the surface 125 of the housing 12G. s position. That is, the positioning plate has a number of movability with respect to the housing ② at a position on the side opposite to the side where the protruding wall 1 2 9 is formed. According to the latter's positioning plate 4o, in addition to the freedom of movement in the direction of disengaging from the protruding wall 29, it can still be positioned at a predetermined relative position. With this configuration, it is possible to easily perform mounting toward the temporarily engaging position of the positioning plate 40 and moving operation toward the final locking position. In particular, when the positioning plate 4o is moved from the temporary engagement position to the final engagement position, its movement can be performed using the end edge 0 and the surface 125 together.
