Abstract
A connector mounting structure includes a connector housing having terminal accommodating chambers, and wire connecting terminals accommodated in the terminal accommodating chambers. The terminals accommodated in the rightmost and leftmost ones of the terminal accommodating chambers are employed as dummy fixing terminals when the connector housing mounted on a printed circuit board. Fixing portions of the dummy fixing terminals are inserted into terminal insertion holes formed in the printed circuit board so that the fixing portions protrude from a rear surface of the printed circuit board. The fixing portions are secured to contacts of the printed circuit board by soldering.
