ABSTRACT:
A system and method for transporting connectors for printed circuit boards using connectors which are protected from tilting in a magazine case. Each connector (11) for printed circuit boards has a housing (13) narrow and elongate to hold a few contacts (12), a pair of lockable elastic legs (15) disposed at lower end regions of opposite lateral walls (14) of the housing and protruding sideways, and locking pawls (16) formed integral with the respective elastic legs. A pair of supplementary lugs (17) formed integral with upper end regions of the lateral walls (14) also protrude sideways the same distance as the pawls, so that when the connectors are driven forth within a magazine case (25), the neighboring supplementary lugs (17) will contact each other simultaneously as the neighboring pawls (16) jostle one another, protecting the connectors from tilting, and thus delivering them in line and in an ordinarily way.
