Patent ID: 8917523

Claim:
A board connector, comprising: a circuit board; a housing comprised of a synthetic resin and mounted in an upstanding manner to the circuit board; and a fixing portion integrally provided with the housing and having a screw hole into which a screw member passed through the circuit board is threaded, the fixing portion adapted to fix the housing to the circuit board by tightening the screw member, wherein the fixing portion is provided in a projecting manner near a proximal end portion of the housing at one side of a longitudinal outer wall surface of the housing; and a fixing surface of the fixing portion adapted to be fixed to an upper surface of the circuit board is formed into a shape that projects toward the circuit board and compensates for a compressive deformation so as to restrain an end face of the housing from lifting from the circuit board when the fixing portion is fixed to the circuit board by a tightening force of the screw member, wherein the fixing surface is formed as a slanting surface that gradually projects toward the circuit board in a direction away from the housing.
