Abstract: A connector structure 1 has a cable 3, and a left connector 10 and a right connector 20 connected respectively to left and right ends of the cable 3. The left and right connectors 10 and 20 respectively have terminal holding members 11, 21 that are made of an insulating material and hold a plurality of terminals, protective covers 13, 23 that are made of a conductive material and covers the terminal holding member, and pull tabs 15, 25. The pull tabs 15 and 25 respectively have tip end parts thereof bonded onto the covers 13, 23 respectively and extend out in the cable direction. The left and right connectors 10 and 20 are removed from respective counterpart connectors 5, 7 into which the left and right connector 10, 20 have been fitted by grasping the pull tabs 15, 25 and pulling in a direction such that the left and right connectors 10, 20 separate away from the respective counterpart connectors 5, 7.

Abstract: A printed circuit board connector (11) comprises a housing (12) with terminals (13,111) each having a mating portion (34); an anchoring post (32,112) with a compliant portion (33,113); and a resilient contact (35,55) trapped against the surface of a printed circuit board (37) by receipt of the compliant portion (33,113) in an unplanted through-hole (36). The compliant portion (33,113) may comprise a strip-form post (112) split to form limbs (115,115') which have been pushed out in opposite directions, relatively away from each other, parallel to the plane of the slit (123) to lie in adjacent parallel planes and subsequently pushed relatively towards each other across the plane of the slit (123) to bring portions of their oppositely facing rolled surfaces adjacent the slit (123) into partially overlapping face-to-face engagement.
