  • Patent number: 7513789
    Abstract: A base connector includes an insulating base housing and a plurality of base contacts retained by the base housing. An anterior wall of the base housing includes a central convex portion which is formed at the center portion in a left-and-right direction of the anterior face of the anterior wall and projects forward, and a pair of concave portions formed on both sides sandwiching the central convex portion therebetween. At least a part of the upper face on the anterior wall including the upper face of the central convex portion is formed as a flat face. The upper face of the anterior wall is provided with a wide portion including the upper face of the central convex portion and being relatively wide in the front-and-rear direction, and a pair of narrow portions relatively narrow in the front-and-rear direction corresponding in position to the pair of concave portions. The wide portion is provided with a flat adsorbed face, which can be adsorbed by an adsorption member.

  • Patent number: 6866522
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises first and second connectors connectable to each other in a predetermined connecting direction. The first connector comprises a housing, a plurality of contacts supported by the housing, and a metal reinforcement member fixed to the housing. The reinforcement member is engageable with an engagement groove of the second connector. The reinforcement member includes a pair of engagement projections. The first and second connectors are permitted to be offset from each other in a direction intersecting the connecting direction and guided with respect to each other for connection thereof when the engagement projections are introduced into the engagement groove.
