ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method of surface mounting a connector which enables a connector to be automatically mounted while preserving reliability of soldered portions and without additionally providing a special apparatus. The connector is formed to be thick at a portion and thin at another portion with respect to an axis C.sub.1. In surface mounting the connector on the printed circuit board, a hook member is inserted into a through hole formed in advance through the printed circuit board. Then, the reflow process is carried out on the printed circuit board whereby terminals of the chips including the lead pins are soldered. The printed circuit board is reroved from a reflow furnace, and cooled, whereupon the hook member is bent toward a hooking portion side. This brings the hooking portion into engagement with the underside of the printed circuit board, whereby the connector is firmly fixed to the printed circuit board.
