ABSTRACT:
Press-fitting sections (54) of contacts (50) of a circuit board mounted connector (10) have a plurality of conical recesses (60) formed in both surfaces (59a,59b). In each recess (60), central portion (61) of the recess (60) is located at a lower position than the plate surface (59a, 59b), while a circumferential rim portion (63) of each recess (60) is located at a higher position than the surface (59a, 59b), thus forming a substantially annular protruding portion. Inside surfaces of cavities (23) of housing (20) that is softened as a result of heat conduction during soldering performed after the contacts (50) have been press-fitted in the cavities (23) of the housing (20) flows inside and outside the recesses (60) and is hardened so that a complementary shape is formed in the recesses (60) and around the rim portions (63). Accordingly, the contacts (50) can be firmly held in the cavities (23) even after soldering has been performed.
