Abstract: A modular jack connector (21) that is mountable on a board (23) and comprises a plurality of terminals (26 and 26′) for contact with the terminals of a modular plug connector and a housing (25) including a plug cavity (28) for receiving the modular plug connector. The terminals (26) are electrically connected to the board (23) via a surface mount connector (24) that is soldered to the board.

Abstract: The connector comprises a housing (7) having a soldering portion (6, 15A or 15B) and a reinforcing metal member (5) movably attached to the housing such that it is vertically movable when it is soldered to a board (12). The reinforcing metal member is provided with a groove (14) to form with the solderable portion a gap between them, which permits soldering by capillary effects.

Abstract: A multiple pole connector with shield plates comprises a central shield plate (2) provided at the center of and along the length of the connector, a pair of outer shield plates (7) provided on either side of the central shield plate along the length of the connector, a plurality of signal terminals provided between the central and outer shield plates, and a metal support (3) for electrically connecting the central and outer shield plates.

Abstract: A circuit board electrical connector includes a plurality of multicontact connectors (1) to be mounted on a circuit board with a predetermined interval; a plurality of linking members (6) for joining the multicontact connectors with the predetermined interval before the multicontact connectors are mounted on the circuit board; and linking devices (7-10) for removably linking the multicontact connectors to the linking members.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic musical instrument for generating musical tones based on part data and automatic performance data to thereby execute an automatic performance, comprising first memory means in which part data and automatic performance data corresponding to demonstration music pieces have been stored; a play buffer for storing the part data currently in use; second memory means for temporarily saving the contents of the play buffer; start instructing means for instructing a start of a performance of a demonstration music piece; first processing means for saving the currently used part data, stored in the play buffer, into the second memory means, and for reading out the part data corresponding to a demonstration music piece from the first memory means and for setting the read-out part data in the play buffer, when instructed by the start instructing means; automatic performance means for executing an automatic performance based on the part data, set in the play buffer by the first processing means, a

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic musical instrument comprising keyboard operators for generating keyboard data; panel operators for generating tone control data; memory means for storing the tone control data; switch means for changing a normal mode to an interrupt mode, and vice versa; control means for, when tone control data is produced in accordance with an operation of the panel operators, writing the tone control data into the memory means in the normal mode, and inhibiting the tone control data from beings written into the memory means in the interrupt mode; a tone generator for, when keyboard data is produced in accordance with an operation of the keyboard operators, producing a tone signal based on the keyboard data and the tone control data stored in the memory means; and transmission means for generating transmission data according to tone control data when the tone control data is produced in accordance with an operation of the panel operators and transmitting the transmission data outside the electroni

Abstract: A mounting part (14) for a surface mount connector (11) to be mounted on a board (16) which includes a substantially L-shaped body having a vertical section (21) and a horizontal section (20); and a stepped opening (18) or soldering tongue (52) formed on the horizontal section for increasing an attachment strength between the mounting part and the board.

Abstract: An electronic musical instrument, including a tone generator for forming play tones and accompaniment tones according to tone source data read out from a waveform memory based on keyboard operations or auto-accompaniment data stored in a memory. The electronic musical instrument further includes a large number of operation switches on a panel for inputting tone parameters such as rhythm, tone color (type of instrument), tempo, and a display for displaying set tone parameters. Voice and character data representing the functions or specifications of the musical instrument, the operation guidelines of the operation switches, or the current setting state of the musical instrument, are stored in a memory. When a user performs a specific operation and requires assistance, voice data and character data are supplied to the tone generator and the display, and the user can visually and aurally recognize the functions or operation guidelines of the musical instrument.
