  • Publication number: 20230180416
    Abstract: A base member of the sensor includes a first projection part, a second projection part, and a third projection part, being columnar and projecting from a first placement surface. Tip ends of the first, second and third projection parts are formed on second placement surfaces. The first and second projection parts respectively include a fourth pin and a fifth pin inserted through a second rigid substrate and projecting from the second placement surface. Three ribs are formed on a peripheral surface of the fourth pin and disposed so that positions viewed from a center of the fourth pin respectively form angles less than 180 degrees. Two ribs are formed on a peripheral surface of the fifth pin, and project along a fourth line perpendicular to a third line connecting the fourth pin and the fifth pin.

  • Patent number: 10714234
    Abstract: Provided is a cable disconnection preventing structure or the like in which a conducting wire is not cut at a connecting portion at which a distal end of a conducting wire is connected to a substrate or the like even when a cable is pulled. The cable disconnection preventing structure (100) comprises a case (30) and a conducting wire fixing member (20) which fixes a conducting wire (2) exposed from a sheath (1) to the sheath (1) at one end portion of the cable (10). The conducting wire (2) is disposed between an inner surface (31) around the cable hole (30a) and the conducting wire fixing member (20).
