  • Electric connector
    Patent number: 9287654
    Abstract: A connector terminal includes a front contact-point portion that wipes off foreign material by slidingly contacting a plug terminal and a rear contact-point portion that is conductively connected with the plug terminal. The front contact-point portion has a sliding edge that slidingly contacts the plug terminal. The rear contact-point portion includes a contact edge that is thinner than the sliding edge, has a sliding width that is less than that of the sliding edge, and is conductively connected with the plug terminal by passing a sliding path of the sliding edge. Therefore, it becomes less likely for the contact edge to contact foreign material adhered to a portion other than portions at the sliding path. Thus, conduction failure can be prevented. In addition, by providing the connector terminal, it is possible to provide a socket that can similarly prevent conduction failure caused by foreign material.

  • Connector
    Patent number: 9281594
    Abstract: A connector comprising a first connector provided with first terminals each of which has a movable portion formed so that a dimension in its width direction is larger than a dimension in its thickness direction to be elastically deformed in a fore-and-aft direction (Y direction) of the connector, and a second connector provided with second terminals each of which has a movable portion formed so that a dimension in its thickness direction is larger than a dimension in its width direction to be elastically deformed in a width direction (X direction) of the connector. As compared with a terminal formed so as to be sufficiently elastically deformable in both of the fore-and-aft direction and the width direction of the connector, it is possible to increase a cross-sectional area of each of the movable portions, so that a permissible value of current of each of the terminals can be increased.

  • Electric connector
    Patent number: 9209557
    Abstract: A socket terminal includes a front connection portion that comes into contact with a plug terminal, in which a recess having an inner wall is formed in a contact surface that comes into contact with the front connection portion. The front connection portion is locked on the inner wall by coming into contact with the inner wall when moving in a direction in which the plug terminal is pulled out from the socket terminal. The front connection portion also includes a contact edge that wipes impurities off the contact surface. An electrical connection between the socket terminal and the plug terminal can be maintained by locking the socket terminal on the inner wall even with an application of vibrations in directions in which the plug terminal is inserted and pulled out. Since the contact edge can remove the impurities, the electrical connection between the terminals can be stabilized.

  • Connector
    Patent number: 9178326
    Abstract: The movable portion of the first terminal of the first connector is formed to be larger in the width direction than in the thickness direction, so as to be elastically deformed in the front-back direction of the connector, and the movable portion of the second terminal of the second connector is formed to be larger in the thickness direction than in the width direction, so as to be elastically deformed in the width direction of the connector. Therefore, the movable portions can be formed with an increased cross-sectional area, thereby enabling the allowable current of the terminals to be increased, unlike a configuration in which the movable portion is elastically deformable to a sufficient extent both in the front-back direction and in the width direction of the connector.

  • Electric connection terminal and connector including the same
    Patent number: 9033722
    Abstract: When a second junction portion of a terminal is pressed in the opposite direction of the direction of contact with a mating terminal, a first junction portion attempts to be displaced relatively in the direction of contact with the mating terminal as compared to the second junction portion while in a of state contact with the mating terminal, and accordingly, contact pressure of the first junction portion as to the mating terminal increases. Thus, after the mating terminal comes into contact with the first junction portion, contact pressure of the first junction portion as to the mating terminal is not reduced even when the mating terminal comes into contact with the second junction portion.
