Abstract: A connector includes: terminal that includes a box-like portion, into which a mating terminal is inserted; a housing that has an accommodating hole accommodating the box-like portion; and a retainer that is attached to the housing in a manner to be displaceable in a crossing direction, which crosses with a direction in which the box-like portion is inserted. A pressing piece is formed on an upper surface of the accommodating hole, and a protrusion is formed on the lower surface. The retainer includes a protrusion portion. When the retainer is positioned on the first position, the box-like portion is allowed to be inserted into the accommodating hole and the portion is pushed by the pressing piece and displaced in the crossing direction so as to make a step portion of the box-like portion be retained and a rear end of the box-like portion be retained, producing a primary locking state.

Abstract: A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector. The connector and the mating connector are mateable with each other. The connector comprises a housing and a terminal. The housing is provided with an axis portion and a maintenance portion. The mating connector comprises a mating housing and a mating terminal. The mating housing is provided with a mating axis portion and a mating maintenance portion. One of the axis portion and the mating axis portion is a rotation axis with an axis direction. A remaining one of the axis portion and the mating axis portion is a bearing. The connector is rotatable around the rotation axis between an open position and a close position when the axis portion and the mating axis portion are combined with each other. The maintenance portion and the mating maintenance portion temporarily maintain a position of the connector at the open position.

Abstract: A connector comprises a housing and a connector position assurance (CPA) member. The housing is provided with a repositioning portion, a lock portion and a stopper. The CPA member has a base end portion, a regulating portion, a first arm portion, a distal end portion and a second arm portion. The distal end portion is provided with an abutment portion. The abutment portion is selectively positionable at a facing position or at a non-facing position. At least one of the first arm portion and the distal end portion is provided with a release projection. The release projection projects in a perpendicular direction from the at least one of the first arm portion and the distal end portion. Upon connection of the connector with a mating connector, the release projection is pushed by a mating release portion and moves the abutment portion from the facing position to the non-facing position.

Abstract: An antenna assembly includes an antenna body formed of a sheet metal, an electric cable, and a conductive film. The antenna body includes at least one crimp portion. The conductive film has a main portion and at least one connected portion extending from the main portion. The electric cable has a conductor portion 46. The at least one crimp portion is crimped to the conductor portion in a state that at least one connected portion lies between the conductor portion and the at least one crimp portion.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing, two reinforcing brackets that are incorporated in both respective end portions in a longitudinal direction of the housing, and terminals that are arranged on and held by the housing between the two reinforcing brackets. The housing includes an island-shaped portion, a peripheral wall, and an accommodating concave portion that is formed between the peripheral wall and the island-shaped portion so as to accommodate a fitting portion of a mating connector. Each of the reinforcing brackets includes a protection portion, a guide portion, and a spring strip. The spring strip is formed in a cantilever shape, and the spring strip is positioned on an inner side compared to the protection portion in the longitudinal direction of the housing. A concave portion that allows elastic deformation of the spring strip is formed on a side surface of the island-shaped portion.

Abstract: To prevent both increase in impedance and a short circuit, a connector cable is configured such that a connector and a shielded cable are connected via a relay substrate. The shielded cable includes at least an inner conductor, a dielectric covering the inner conductor, and a shield member covering the dielectric. The inner conductor is connected to a contact of the connector at a part where the shield member and the dielectric are removed to expose the inner conductor. At least directly under a part where the shield member is removed to expose the dielectric, a ground (GND) conductor layer on a front surface of the relay substrate is arranged. The GND conductor layer on the front surface of the relay substrate, which is arranged directly under the part where the shield member is removed, is covered with an insulating member.

Abstract: A connector comprises a housing, a terminal and a shell. The terminal has a held portion held by the housing, a first portion extending rearward from the held portion and a second portion extending forward from the held portion. The first portion has a connectable portion configured to be connected to a first object. The second portion has a resiliently deformable support portion and a contact portion supported by the support portion. The contact portion is pressed against a second object when the connector is fixed on the second object. The shell has a first upper plate and a second upper plate which is located below the first upper plate. The first upper plate covers the first portion of the terminal from above. The second upper plate covers the second portion of the terminal from above.
