Abstract

A connector apparatus wherein a connector member includes an insulation material connector body with a large number of contacts projecting downwardly from the connector member base for positioning on a printed circuit base board. An attaching member is provided for attaching the contacts to the printed circuit board. An end portion of each of the contacts is connected by soldering to a printed circuit of the base board. The attaching member includes a metallic plate member provided at its one end portion with a pair of legs including projections positioned at forward ends respectively for engagement with and for soldering to the printed circuit base board. The metallic plate member may be provided on both side edges with a pair of engaging claws which engage an inner wall of an attaching opening made in the connector body. The attaching member may include the metallic plate member and a tap screw which is screwed into a second end portion of the metallic plate member.
