Abstract: The operation of a lock member and the check thereof are easily and reliably enabled with a simple configuration while achieving downsizing. When a movable lock engagement part is moved along a lock guide part in a state in which a fixed lock latch part provided on either one of first and second electrical connectors is in an arrangement relation that the fixed lock latch part is overlapped with the lock guide part provided on the other one in a mating direction, the movable lock engagement part is engaged with or released from the fixed lock latch part. An operation of engaging or releasing the movable lock engagement part with/from the fixed lock latch part is carried out in a state in which the operation can be visually checked through a housing-operation opening and facing the electrical connectors.

Abstract: An electric connector includes an electrically insulative housing, and a terminal having an engagement section and inserted into a terminal space formed in the housing in a direction from a rear towards a front of the housing. The housing includes a lance protruding in the housing towards an axis of the terminal space, and is able to engage to and disengage from the engagement section of the terminal. A resilient support resiliently supports the lance such that the lance is able to move away from the axis, and a path is provided through which a jig for disengaging the lance from the engagement section is inserted into the housing through a front of the housing towards the lance along the engagement section. The resilient support is formed with a slit communicating with the path and extending towards the lance from an entrance of the path.

Abstract: A circuit-terminal connecting device comprising an electrical connector having an insulated housing mounted on a main circuit board and a plurality of resilient contacts arranged on the insulated housing, and a flat circuit member having a reinforced portion attached to a reinforcing board member operative to engage with the insulated housing of the electrical connector, wherein each of the resilient contacts has a board connecting portion provided to be connected to a first circuit-terminal provided on the main circuit board, a fixable portion provided to be fixed to the insulated housing, and a resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion and provided with a contact point for coming into press-contact with a second circuit-terminal provided on the reinforced portion of the flat circuit member and a locking portion for engaging with the reinforcing board member to lock the same.

Abstract: While efficient assembly performance of an electrical connector is obtained, good operability can be also obtained by a simple configuration. Good shielding performance with respect to transmission paths are configured to be obtained by a simple configuration in which movement of an actuator causes both shield shells to contact each other by covering at least part of outer surfaces of an insulating housing and the actuator by the shield shells consisting of electrically-conductive metal members, causing the actuator-side shield shell moved to an action position to contact the insulating-housing-side shield shell, and continuously covering the transmission paths, which are from a signal transmission medium to a printed wiring board through electrically-conductive contact members.

Abstract: Good signal transmission characteristics can be stably obtained by a simple structure. A pressure-contact surface of a cover inner surface of a shell cover part 13b, which is openably/closably coupled to a cylindrical opening of an external conductor shell 13a, and an insulative pressing plate 11d is provided with a void part 14, which separates at least one of them from the other one. By virtue of this, it is configured that the characteristic impedance about the cable-shaped signal transmission medium SC can be adjusted by the void part 14, and the matching degree (VSWR) of the characteristic impedance with respect to transmission signals can be easily and appropriately matched.
