Abstract: A hinge connector comprising an insulative connector housing (10) having a predetermined shape, a through hole extending through the connector housing, a receiving chamber defined in the through hole, and an elastic contact member (30) having electric conductivity and a rotatable contact member (50) that are received in the receiving chamber, wherein the elastic contact member (30) is elastically contacted at one end thereof with the rotatable contact member (50), and projects at the other end out of the through hole to form an external contact. This hinge connector is mounted on the main body housing (90) of an electronic device, a circuit board (70) is connected to a cover body, and the contact member (50) is disposed to make rotation contact with the pattern on the circuit board. Such arrangement provides a hinge connector wherein the contact smoothly rotates even if the contact pressure on the circuit board is increased, and good contact can be maintained.

Abstract: A connective structure for coupling a first and second printed circuit boards (11,12) facing one another is composed of a female connector (13) surface-mounted on the first printed board (11) and a male connector (14) also surface-mounted on the second board (12) so as to fit on the female connector (13). The male connector has a housing (41) and positioning pins (35) extending from opposite lateral ends of the housing towards the first printed circuit board, and each positioning pin has a free end protruding beyond the housing top. Positioning openings (26) are formed in the first circuit board so that the pins (35) are inserted in them to couple the female and male connectors (13,14) at their positions correct and accurate relative to each other to establish a reliable electric connection, such that the connective portions are protected from distortedly fitting one in another even if distance between the circuit boards (11,12) is reduced.

Abstract: A contact capable of achieving the reduction of height in the direction of displacement, and of obtaining excellent contact pressure.

The accommodation hole 33 is formed such that a part of the elastic contact member 20 enters accommodation hole 33 as the elastic contact member 20 is elastically deformed.

Abstract: An electric connector is connected to an electric wire of a first article, and is to be fitted onto the first article and/or a second article. The contact of the electric connector shall directly contact a conductive part of the second article. To prevent the electric wire or the wired contact from coming of the housing of the connector, a retainer is provided. The electric connector's housing has a receiving groove that is recessed into the front housing face which faces the second article, and that has an open groove end at one housing side face and a closed groove end at another housing side face. A contact is inserted into the receiving groove and includes a connecting part to be connected to the electric wire of the first article and a contacting part which is located closer than the connecting part to the closed groove end and which is to contact the conductive part of the second article.
