Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a board edge connector. The board edge connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of terminal groups. The insulating housing includes a supporting portion. Each of the terminal groups includes a plurality of terminals. Each terminal includes a holding portion, a resilient contact portion, a tail portion and a connecting portion. The terminal of at least one of the terminal groups has a longer connecting portion than the rest of the terminal groups. The longer connecting portion includes a supported portion extending in a front and back direction. The supporting portion includes a plurality of supporting grooves disposed thereon. The supported portion of the terminal is disposed on and supported by the supporting grooves.

Claim (Index 17):
A board edge connector, comprising:\n an insulating housing, including:\n a front surface serving as a mating end of the board edge connector; \n a back surface opposite to the front surface; \n a top surface; \n a bottom surface, opposite to the top surface, serving as a mounting end of the board edge connector; \n a board edge receiving slot having an opening toward the mating end; and \n a first supporting portion including a plurality of first supporting grooves; \n a first terminal group, retained in the insulating housing, including a plurality of first terminals arranged in a row extending in a left to right direction, the first terminal including:\n a first resilient contact portion extending into the board edge receiving slot; and \n a first surface mounting technology (SMT) tail portion; \n a second terminal group, retained in the insulating housing, including a plurality of second terminals arranged in a row extending in the left to right direction, the second terminal including:\n a second resilient contact portion extending into the board edge receiving slot; and \n a second SMT tail portion; \n a third terminal group, retained in the insulating housing, including a plurality of third terminals arranged in a row extending in the left to right direction, the third terminal including;\n a third holding portion; \n a third resilient contact portion extending from the holding portion and into the board edge receiving slot; \n a third SMT tail portion; and \n a third connecting portion configured to connect the third holding portion to the third SMT tail portion; and \n a fourth terminal group, retained in the insulating housing, including a plurality of fourth terminals arranged in a row extending in the left to right direction, the fourth terminal including:\n a fourth holding portion; \n a fourth resilient contact portion extending from the fourth holding portion and into the board edge receiving slot; \n a fourth SMT tail portion; and \n a fourth connecting portion configured to connect the fourth holding portion to the fourth SMT tail portion, \n wherein at least one of the third connecting portion and the fourth connecting portion includes a supported portion, the supported portion extending in a front and back direction, the supported portion being on and supported by the first supporting grooves, wherein the first resilient contact portion and the fourth resilient contact portion are closer to the front surface than the second resilient contact portion and the third resilient contact portion, wherein the first SMT tail portion, the second SMT tail portion, the third SMT tail portion and the fourth SMT tail portion extend out of the mounting end, wherein the fourth SMT tail portion is closer to the back surface than the first SMT tail portion, the second SMT tail portion and the third SMT tail portion, wherein the third SMT tail portion is closer to the back surface than the first SMT tail portion and the second SMT tail portion, and wherein the second SMT tail portion is closer to the back surface than the first SMT tail portion.
