ABSTRACT:
A press-in contact includes a connection portion to be connected to a mating connector, a press-fitting portion to be fixed in a cylindrical through-hole of a printed circuit board by press-fitting, and a contact portion for introducing the press-in contact to the printed circuit board. The press-in contact further includes a positioning portion. The positioning portion has two plate-shaped pieces each having a surface to be urged by a jig for press-fitting operation and a connection part for connecting the plate-shaped pieces and the connection portion. The connection portion is formed in a substantially J-shape by bending, and center axes of the connection portion and the positioning portion are shifted from each other. As an alternative, the plate-shaped pieces are formed in a C-shape in cross-section, and center axes of the connection portion and the plate-shaped pieces of the positioning portion are shifted from each other. With this arrangement, the press-in contact can readily be press-fitted into the through-hole of the printed circuit board.
