  • Patent number: 9236696
    Abstract: The coaxial connector includes a tube-shaped outer conductor and an inner conductor provided inside the outer conductor in a plan view. The outer conductor includes an engaging portion recessed towards the inner conductor, a first portion positioned closer to one end of the outer conductor relative to the engaging portion, and a second portion positioned closer to the other end of the outer conductor relative to the engaging portion. The outer peripheral surface of the engaging portion is positioned closer to the inner conductor than to the outer peripheral surface of the first portion and the outer peripheral surface of the second portion, and the inner peripheral surface of the engaging portion is closer to the inner conductor than to either the inner peripheral surface of the first portion or the inner peripheral surface of the second portion.

  • Patent number: 9236670
    Abstract: The coaxial connector of the Present Disclosure includes a tube-shaped outer conductor, an insulating portion and an inner conductor. The insulating portion has a first fixed portion, a first elastic portion positioned on one side of the first fixed portion, and a second elastic portion. The inner conductor has a second fixed portion, a first holding portion positioned on one side of the second fixed portion, and a second holding portion positioned on the other side of the second fixed portion. The first elastic portion biases the outer peripheral surface of the first holding portion towards the outer peripheral surface of the inner conductor of the other coaxial connector. The second elastic portion biasing the outer peripheral surface of the second holding portion towards the outer peripheral surface of the inner conductor of the other coaxial connector.

  • Patent number: 8636539
    Abstract: In a connector according to the Present Disclosure, a cable inserted into an insertion hole is inserted into a through-hole of a metal fitting contained in a support groove. The metal fitting contained in the support groove plastically deforms such that the size of the through-hole decreases when it is compressed in the depth direction of the support groove.

  • Publication number: 20110136387
    Abstract: A connector comprises a housing, a lever and a lock portion. The housing receives terminals. The lever is rotatably attached to the housing, and is configured to be rotatable between a first position, where an initial stage of fitting of the connector to a counterpart connector is established, and a second position, where the fitting thereof to the counterpart connector is completed. The lock portion is capable of locking the lever at the second position. The lock portion is slidably attached to a body portion of the lever, and is configured to be slid between a lock position where the lever is locked and a lock release position where the lever is released. The lever is provided with a positioning latch-portion that is configured to latch the lock portion at the lock position and the lock release position.
