Abstract: A connector comprises an insert-molded body. The insert-molded body comprises a housing and a terminal partially embedded in the housing. The housing has a main portion. The main portion is formed with a trace hole and an accommodation space. The terminal has a held portion, a bent-back portion extending forward from the held portion, a support portion extending rearward from the bent-back portion and a contact portion supported by the support portion. The held portion has a wide portion. When the insert-molded body is seen from above, the wide portion is, at least in part, visible through the trace hole. Each of the support portion and the contact portion has a size smaller than that of the wide portion in the lateral direction. The wide portion is partially visible through the accommodation space when the insert-molded body is seen from below.

Abstract: A bridge displacement calculating apparatus comprises a DC component removing part, a high-pass filter part, a first integration part, and a second integration part. The DC component removing part outputs DC-removed acceleration data. The high-pass filter part uses, as a cutoff frequency, the reciprocal of a time in which a vehicle has passed between the frame bodies of the bridge. The first integration part integrates input data thereto. The second integration part integrates input data thereto and outputs displacement data. The high-pass filter part receives DC-removed acceleration data, the first integration part receives the output of the high-pass filter part, the second integration part receives the output of the first integration part, or the first integration part receives the DC-removed acceleration data, the high-pass filter part receives the output of the first integration part, and the second integration part receives the output of the high-pass filter part.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector mateable with each other. The connector comprises a first terminal, a second terminal and a shield portion. The shield portion is located between the first terminal and the second terminal in the pitch direction. The mating connector comprises a first mating terminal, a second mating terminal and a mating shield portion. The mating shield portion is located between the first mating terminal and the second mating terminal in the pitch direction. One of the shield portion and the mating shield portion has a plate portion, and a remaining one of the shield portion and the mating shield portion has a mating plate portion. Under the mated state, a position of the plate portion in the pitch direction is equal to or overlaps with another position of the mating plate portion in the pitch direction.

Abstract: A first hold-down includes a hold-down elastic piece supported like a cantilever beam by a reinforcing plate part. The hold-down elastic piece includes an elastic piece body extending from the reinforcing plate part, and a curve contact part formed at an end of the elastic piece body and projecting toward a CPU board beyond a CPU board opposed surface. A housing is formed in such a way that the curve contact part does not come into contact with the housing when the curve contact part no longer projects toward the CPU board beyond the CPU board opposed surface as a result of the curve contact part being elastically displaced toward an input-output board.

Abstract: There is provided an optical connector-incorporating plug properly assembled such that an optical fiber taken out from an end portion of an optical cable can have a fixed length. The optical connector-incorporating plug of the invention includes: a cable insertion component having an insertion hole in which an optical cable is inserted with an optical fiber being taken out from a cable end portion of the optical cable; a tubular member in which the cable end portion and the optical fiber are placed and in which the cable insertion component is fitted; a hole formed at a peripheral wall of the tubular member to check at least one of the cable end portion and the optical fiber in the tubular member; and a surrounding member mounted to the tubular member to surround the portion of the tubular member where the cable insertion component is fitted, thereby covering the hole.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector. The mating connector comprises a mating housing. The mating housing is formed with a release projection. The connector comprises a first housing and a second housing. The first housing is provided with a stopper. The second housing is provided with a stopped portion. One of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a second support portion which supports a supported portion. When the second housing is installed to the first housing, the stopped portion is brought into abutment with the stopper, and a movement of the second housing is regulated by the stopper. When the thus-regulated second housing is received into the mating housing together with the first housing, one of the second support portion and the supported portion is brought into abutment with the release projection so that the regulation of the second housing is released.

Abstract: In a first contact of a connector, an insulation-displacement connection portion has two insulation-displacement blades and has a narrow slit and a wide slit. The insulation-displacement blades are different from each other in position in a first direction and correspond to the narrow slit. The insulation-displacement blades are obliquely intersected with the first direction. The narrow slit and the wide slit extend in the front-rear direction. In the first direction, the insulation-displacement blade is located between the narrow slit 362 and the wide slit 364. In a second direction, a middle of the wide slit 364 is different from a middle of the narrow slit 362 in position. When covered wire is pushed into the narrow slit, it is pressed on the insulation-displacement blades at different timings in order.
