  • Thin, applied-to-surface type of electric connector
    Patent number: 5277597
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement relating to a thin, applied-to-surface type of electric connector comprising a housing 1 and a plurality of terminals 7, 10 fixed thereto. Each terminal has a solder tail 8, 11 extending outward under the bottom of the housing to be positioned on a selected conductor of a printed circuit board for subjecting to automatic soldering. The distance N between the ends of opposed solder tails is shorter than the maximum lateral size L of the housing 1. Both sides of the housing 1 have a chamfer 13 along its lower longitudinal part. The ends 7A, 10A of the terminals and their receiving cavities 25 may be slanted to hold the terminals within the housing and prevent stubbing.
