  • Patent number: 8540528
    Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting a flat conductive member includes a housing including a receiving section for receiving the flat conductive member in a first direction and a terminal arranged in the housing. The terminal includes a first contact section for contacting with the flat conductive member, a second contact section for contacting with the flat conductive member, an extending arm portion, and a first flexible contact arm portion extending from the extending arm portion toward the second contact section. The first contact section is disposed at a distal end portion of the first flexible contact arm portion. The electrical connector further includes a pressing portion for contacting the flat conductive member with the first contact section and the second contact section.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7029308
    Abstract: In the socket (41), a receiving section is formed by a circumferential wall (12) and a restricting section that defines the position of the counter module (M) when it is placed in the receiving section. The latching member (20) is formed by directly forming or attaching to the circumferential wall an elastic bar that extends in the circumferential direction of the circumferential wall. The latching member (20) has a securing section and a latching section (23) that elastically displaces outward of the circumferential wall by flexion of the elastic bar, and the securing section and the latching section are provided away from each other in the circumferential direction.
