  • Patent number: 9413096
    Abstract: A connector (F) includes a housing (10) formed with terminal accommodating chambers (11) in multiple stages in a vertical direction. Locking lances (12) cantilever forward along lower wall surfaces of the terminal accommodating chambers (11), and terminal fittings (30) are retained by the locking lances (12). Deflection spaces (13, 13E) allow the locking lances (12) to be resiliently deflected. Horizontal plate-like functional portions (21, 21E) are formed on a front retainer (20) and are insertable into the deflection spaces (13, 13E). A supporting plate (14) is cantilevered forward along a lower surface of the lowermost plate-like functional portion (21, 21E) and constitutes an outer wall of the housing (10). Reinforcing ribs (15, 15E) and (16) are formed on the supporting plate (14) and are configured to enhance flexural rigidity of the supporting plate (14).

  • Patent number: 9147944
    Abstract: A female terminal fitting (20) is to be crimped to a wire including a core (12) formed by plural strands (11) and includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is to be placed, and a pair of crimping pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and to be crimped to the core (12) in such a manner as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are formed with a thinning portion (27), and a corner portion (30) is formed by deforming the thinning portion (27) when the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). Accordingly, a clearance formed at the butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) can be made smaller than in the case where the thinning portions (27) are not provided.

  • Patent number: 9136628
    Abstract: A terminal fitting (20) is crimped to an aluminum wire including a core (12) formed by putting a plurality of strands (11) together. The terminal fitting (20) includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is placed, and two barrel pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and crimped to the core (12) so as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Overlapping portions (24L, 24R) are formed on tip parts of the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) by folding a plate material forming the barrel pieces (25L, 25R) to overlap layers of the plate material. The overlapping portions (24L, 24R) contact each other without intruding between the strands (11) when the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). The terminal fitting (20) eliminates breakage of the core (12) and is less affected by spring back.

    Abstract: The present invention concerns a female terminal fitting (20) to be crimped to a wire including a core (12) formed by putting a plurality of strands (11) together and including a bottom plate portion (22) on which the core (12) is to be placed, and a pair of crimping pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate portion (22) and to be crimped to the core (12) in such a manner as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate portion (22). Butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are formed with a thinning portion (27), and a corner portion (30) is formed by deforming the thinning portion (27) when the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). According to such a configuration, the thinning portion (27) is preferentially deformed by crimping to form the corner portion (30). Thus, a clearance formed at the butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) can be made smaller than in the case where the thinning portion (27) are not provided.

  • Patent number: 8917280
    Abstract: An exemplary apparatus for controlling display devices writes pixel data in a buffer in synchronous with an input clock signal. A differential value that represents a change of timing difference between input and output sides is calculated in each of a plurality of frames, and a timing correction based on the differential value calculated during the previous frame is performed within the vertical blanking period. Thereafter, the pixel data is read and output from the buffer to the display device in synchronous with an output clock signal.
