Abstract:
A connector for a wiring substrate having a circuit pattern formed thereon, the wiring substrate having an opening, the connector comprising:a connector housing provided with a bottom and a fitting port, the connector housing being fixed on the wiring substrate so that the fitting port agrees with the opening of the wiring substrate; andat least one tab in the form of a conductive metal piece which is arranged inside and outside the connector housing;wherein, in an arrangement where the connector housing is positioned under the wiring substrate, the tab consists of a lower extension part extending downward, a horizontal part extending to an upper end of the lower extension part at substantial right angles and extending horizontally and an upper extension part extending to an end of the horizontal part and extending upward;wherein the tab is arranged on the connector housing so that the horizontal part traverses in a direction of a thickness of a sidewall forming the connector housing and the lower extension part extends along an inner face of the sidewall, while the upper extension part penetrates the wiring substrate and is soldered to the circuit pattern of the wiring substrate; andwherein the connector housing has a groove formed on an inner face of the sidewall of the connector housing for receiving the lower extension part and another groove formed on an upper end face of the sidewall for receiving the horizontal part.
