Abstract:
1. A mounting structure comprising: a surface mounting connector including a housing and a plurality of terminals, wherein each terminal extends from the housing; a substrate including a plurality of lands, each of which corresponds to one of the terminal, respectively, wherein each land is disposed on the substrate, and wherein each land is electrically connected to the terminal with a bonding member; a plurality of support portions for supporting the connector on the substrate, wherein each support portion protrudes from the housing toward the substrate, and contacts a surface portion of the substrate; and a plurality of fixing members for fixing and positioning the connector with respect to the substrate, wherein each fixing member is connected to the housing, and contacts a part of the substrate, which is different from the surface portion of the substrate contacting the support portion, wherein each terminal is positioned on the substrate with a predetermined distance between the terminal and the substrate by the support portions and the fixing members, the housing is in contact with the substrate through the support portions so that portions of the housing other than the support portions are spaced apart from the substrate by a predetermined distance, each terminal is a punching terminal, so that each terminal is connected to the corresponding land without being bent, each punching terminal has an elastic deforming amount along a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the elastic deforming amount is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.
