Patent ID: 8628340

Claim:
A sinking-type vertical board-mount connector for vertically mounting through a hole in a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising: an insulating body ( 12 ) having a plurality of spacedly arranged terminal grooves ( 121 ); a conductive casing ( 11 ) assembled on the insulating body comprising a plurality of side plates ( 11 A/B) defining an insertion opening ( 110 ), the conductive casing having at least one retarding member ( 111 ) and at least one assembling member ( 113 ) integrally bent and protrudingly extending from the side plates thereof, the retarding member ( 111 ) being configured to abut a first side of the PCB when the conductive casing is disposed through the hole thereof supporting the conductive casing ( 1 ) in an embedded configuration with the insertion opening ( 110 ) exposed on a second side of the PCB, and a terminal set ( 13 ) having a plurality of terminals ( 131 ) protrudingly disposed in the terminal grooves, wherein each of the terminals has a fixing segment ( 1311 ) assembled on a bottom surface of the insulating body, an extending segment ( 1312 ) bendingly extending from the fixing segment toward the insertion opening, and a connecting segment ( 1313 ) outwardly extending from the extending segment and arranged substantially horizontally leveled to the retarding member, configured to establish electrical contact with the first side of the PCB.
