Publication number: 20060040562Abstract: A connector with a built-in substrate includes an insulating housing, and a terminal and a substrate, which are secured in the insulating housing. The insulating housing has a substrate mounting section to mount the substrate in the insulating housing, and a terminal mounting section to mount a terminal. The direction of mounting the substrate in the substrate mounting section is same as that of mounting the terminal in the terminal mounting section. According to this invention, there is provided a connector with a built-in substrate, in which the substrate has various functions and can be easily mounted in a connector. In addition, the connector can be easily manufactured, and is comprised of less components.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2005Publication date: February 23, 2006Inventor: Akira Funatsu
