Abstract
A reliable method of incorporating a crimp-style connector onto a printed circuit board. Even when a relatively long wire having a large diameter is used, the connector housing can be easily attached to the board and there is no possibility that the board will be warped. The method of incorporating a crimp-style connector (20) onto a board (10) by which a connector housing (21) provided with an electrical wire is incorporated onto the board (10), includes the following steps: attaching the connector housing (21) to the board (10); crimp-connecting the electrical wire with a crimp-blade (33) of a crimp-terminal (30) accommodated in a terminal accommodating chamber (22) in the connector housing (21); and soldering a fixing portion of the crimp terminal (30), which protrudes onto a reverse side 10b of the board (10), to a contact point on the board (10). Due to the foregoing, it is possible to accurately and positively crimp-connect an electrical wire between a pair of crimp-blades (33), (33) of the crimp terminal (30). Therefore, connection of the electrical wire can be simplified and quality can be enhanced.
