  • Patent number: 9196992
    Abstract: A connector capable of realizing a narrower pitch of contact members, and suppressing displacement of the contact members. A connector comprises a frame and a plurality of contact members held by the frame. The contact members held by the frame are elastically deformed by being sandwiched between an IC package and a printed board. At this time, terminal portions of the IC package and terminal portions of the printed board are electrically connected via a plurality of conductive path portions of each contact member. The frame is formed by a frame portion, a plurality of longitudinal ribs extending in a manner bridging the frame portion, and a plurality of transverse ribs extending orthogonal to the longitudinal ribs in a manner bridging the frame portion. The contact members are held in slits formed by the longitudinal ribs and the transverse ribs.

  • Patent number: 8870580
    Abstract: A connector is adapted to be interposed between a first connection object and a second connection object for establishing electrical connection therebetween. The connector comprises a plurality of connecting members each having a plurality of elastically deformable conductive portions formed at a predetermined interval along a longitudinal direction thereof, a beam holding the connecting members, and a support portion supporting the beam. The connecting members, each having its longitudinal direction extending in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction in which the first and second connection objects and are caused to approach each other, are arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The beam is disposed with its longitudinal direction extending in the third direction so as to perpendicularly cross the connecting members. The beam has engaging portions, engaging with the connecting members, at positions where the beam crosses the connecting members.
