Abstract:
1. A board mounted-type terminal for a board mounted-type connector comprising: a retaining portion of said board mounted-type terminal including: a pair of rear retaining projections formed on and projecting laterally, respectively, in a lateral direction from opposite sides of said board mounted-type terminal so as to be pressed respectively into opposed side surfaces of a terminal holding hole provided with a connector housing to be adapted, and a pair of front retaining projections formed on and project laterally, respectively, in the lateral direction from the opposite sides of said board mounted-type terminal so as to be pressed respectively into the opposed side surfaces of a terminal holding hole of said connector housing to be adapted, and said front retaining projections disposed rearwardly of said rear retaining projections in a direction of press-fitting of said board mounted-type terminal, wherein said rear retaining projections and said front retaining projections are different in shape from each other, and wherein a dimension X of said front retaining projection in a direction of a height of said side surface is smaller than a dimension X′ of said rear retaining projection in the direction of the height of said side surface, and a dimension Y between outer ends of said pair of front retaining projections in the lateral direction parallel to a bottom surface of said terminal holding hole is larger than a dimension Y′ between outer ends of said pair of rear retaining projections in the lateral direction parallel to the bottom surface of said terminal holding hole.
