Patent number: 10622763Abstract: Provided is a connector having reduced height and area that facilitates the retention and removal of a connection object while preventing damages to itself during operation. According to the present disclosure, a connector (10) includes an insulator (20) having an accommodation section (22) for allowing insertion of a connection object (an FPC 60), an actuator (40) attached to the insulator (20), and a locking member (50) that supports the connection object (the FPC 60) accommodated in the accommodation section (22) in an insertion-removal direction. When the actuator (40) is pushed in along a direction substantially orthogonal to the insertion-removal direction, the locking member (50) is elastically deformed and releases the connection object (the FPC 60).Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Nakajima, Yuusuke Shiroyama, Fumihito Ikegami

Patent number: 7344387Abstract: A board-to-board connector includes a receptacle and a plug for inserting into the receptacle. The receptacle includes a receptacle insulator including two opposed side walls and opposed receptacle contacts symmetrically arranged and supported by the two opposed side walls. Each of the two opposed receptacle contacts includes an inverted U-shaped portion and a U-shape-grooved continuity. The plug includes a plug insulator including two opposed insert walls and opposed plug contacts symmetrically arranged and supported by the two opposed insert walls. Each of the two opposed plug contacts includes a U-shaped continuity portion and is inserted into the U-shape-grooved continuity portion to establish electrical connection therewith. When the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the U-shaped continuity portions of the two opposed plug contacts deform the U-shape-grooved continuity portions of the two opposed receptacle contacts resiliently away from the two opposed side walls of the receptacle insulator.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Kyocera Elco CorporationInventor: Yuusuke Shiroyama

Patent number: 7195495Abstract: A connector includes a plug including a plug body made of an insulating material and at least one plug contact supported by the plug body; a receptacle including a receptacle body made of an insulating material and at least one receptacle contact supported by the receptacle body; a contact projecting portion formed on one of the plug contact and the receptacle contact; a contacting portion formed on the other of the plug contact and the receptacle contact; and a first projecting portion and at least one second projecting portion which is formed on the contacting portion, the second projecting portion being formed integral with the first projecting portion to be elongated in an insertion/extraction direction of the plug. A portion of the contact projecting portion is formed as a flat surface having a width greater than a width of the second projecting portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2005Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Kyocera Elco CorporationInventors: Hirohisa Takano, Yuusuke Shiroyama

Publication number: 20070026708Abstract: A connector includes a first connector provided with a first insulating member and a first contact, and a second connector provided with a second insulating member and a second contact which is electrically connected with the first contact by fitting the first and second insulating members together. A fitting projection is provided in one of the first and second insulating members so as to project toward the other of the first and second insulating members. A fitting recess, into which the fitting projection is fitted when the first and second insulating members are fitted, is provided in the other of the first and second insulating members. The fitting projection includes an engaging recess which extends entirely across the fitting projection in one direction. The fitting recess includes an engaging projection which is engaged with the engaging recess when the first and second insulating members are fitted together.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2006Publication date: February 1, 2007Applicant: KYOCERA ELCO CORPORATIONInventor: Yuusuke Shiroyama
