ABSTRACT:
A printed circuit board connector is formed by a fixed base portion (4) that is provided in a fixed manner onto a printed circuit board (1) and a movable base portion (5) that can be mated as one with the fixed base portion (4) in either of two (or three) different directions with respect to the fixed base portion, these directions differing from each other by 90 degrees. A cable-side connector (3) can be connected to the movable fixed base portion 5. By changing the direction of mating of the movable base portion with respect to the fixed base portion, it is possible to change the direction (compare FIGS. 3 and 4) of connection of the cable-side connector with respect to the fixed base portion. This enables the change of the connection direction of the cable with respect to the printed circuit board. This also enables the direction of connection of a cable-side connector with respect to the printed circuit board to be changed while using one and the same board-side connector, thereby enabling a reduction in the number of components required for printed circuit hardware, while achieving universality and sharing of connectors.
