Abstract: A plurality of terminal fittings 11 are mounted to a housing 20, board connecting portions 13 having mounting portions 14 at lower ends protrude rearward, fixed fittings 30 having mounting plates 32 at lower edges are mounted to opposite side surfaces of the housing 20, and the mounting portion 14 of each terminal fitting 11 and the mounting plates 32 of the fixed fittings 30 are secured to a PCB 40 by reflow soldering. During the reflow soldering, a drawing force toward the PCB 40 acts on each of the terminal fittings 11 and the fixed fittings 30 based on surface tension of molten solder H, but the center of the fixed fitting 30 in the fore/aft direction of the board connecting portion 13 is positioned forward of the center of gravity position O of a connector 10, and rotation moment Mb toward the PCB 40 acts on the front of the housing 20 based on a drawing force Fb on the side of the fixed fitting 30 to prevent the front from being raised.

Abstract: Three-Way Light Bulbs and Sockets can create a condition, where “light flicker” can occur. One way to correct the situation and to reduce the chance of having light flicker is described in this patent. It consists of introducing an “INTERPOSER”, between the light bulb and the socket. Several interposer designs and construction options are described in the patent, as well.
