Patent ID: 7134909

Claim:
A connector arranged to connect a test device to a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board having at least one electro pad and at least one fixing hole, comprising: a connector body; at least one conducting pin projecting from said connector body, for contact with said at least one electro pad of said printed circuit board; and at least one fixing pin, having at its distal end a withdrawing tapered portion, extending substantially in parallel with said at least one conducting pin; wherein said at least one fixing pin is longer than said conducting pin and is arranged to be inserted into said at least one fixing hole and the at least one conducting pin contacts said at least one electro pad, and said at least one fixing pin is detachable from said fixing hole, by withdrawing of said distal end, to permit detachment of said test device from said printed circuit board; wherein said conducting pin has a metallic cylindrical member disposed in said connector body, a contact member movably fitted in said metallic cylindrical member, and a spring interposed between said metallic cylindrical member and said contact member; wherein said withdrawing tapered portion is locked so as not to come off from said fixing hole due to a force exerted by said spring.
