Abstract: A module is composed of a terminal that is attached to a cable and an insulator that accommodates the terminal. The insulator includes two spring pieces and two protrusions that are formed on the two respective spring pieces. A housing has through holes on mutually opposed positions on respective side walls surrounding an accommodation space. The module is accommodated in the accommodation space in a manner such that the two protrusions thereof are fitted from an inside into the respective through holes. A hood is composed of two split bodies. The hood can be fixed on the housing in a manner such that projecting portions of the split bodies are fitted from an outside into the respective through holes and the two split bodies are coupled to each other with a coupling means.

Abstract: A shield-type connector includes: an inner shell made of metal and provided in an inner housing; an outer shell made of metal and provided in an outer housing; and a cover shell made of metal and contacting with both of the inner shell and the outer shell, in which the inner shell, the outer shell and the cover shell include contact portions that contact with each other, and the contact portion of the cover shell is inserted between the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector mateable with each other. The mating connector comprises a mating lock member having a mating lock portion. The connector comprises a holding member and a lock member. The holding member has a holding portion and a stop portion. The lock member has a held portion and a lock portion. The held portion is held by the holding portion. The lock portion is located below the mating lock portion and faces the mating lock portion in the upper-lower direction under the mated state. The coupling portion has an abutment portion. When the lock portion is moved toward the held portion in the first horizontal direction in accordance with removal of the connector from the mating connector, the abutment portion is brought into abutment with the stop portion so that a movement of the lock portion is restricted.

Abstract: An antenna is configured to be soldered on a circuit board. The antenna comprises a main portion, at least one soldering terminal and at least one fixed portion. The main portion has a height in a vertical direction. The main portion is, at least in part, positioned below the soldering terminal in the vertical direction when the soldering terminal is soldered on the circuit board. The soldering terminal extends from the main portion along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertical direction. When the soldering terminal is soldered on the circuit board, the fixed portion is fixed on the circuit board at a location different from a location of the soldering terminal.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector, in which the first connector includes: a first signal terminal; a first fixed part which fixes a first part of the first signal terminal; a first terminal which fixes the first signal terminal with the first fixed part held therebetween; a second fixed part which fixes a second part of the first signal terminal; and a second terminal inside which the first signal terminal is fixed with the second fixed part held therebetween, the second connector includes: a second signal terminal; a third fixed part which fixes the second signal terminal; and a third terminal which fixes the second signal terminal with the third fixed part held therebetween, and since a diameter of the bending part is smaller than a diameter of the second part, the second fixed part is caught on the second part and is retained.

Abstract: In the present invention a detection unit of a touch panel has sensor electrodes and a plurality of lead-out wires connected to the sensor electrodes. Each lead-out wire is provided with a wiring main section. The sensor electrodes are provided with a plurality of electrode main sections and a plurality of connection sections. The wiring main sections and electrode main sections are formed by repeatedly arranging side by side, in a first direction, unit patterns having a prescribed shape. In a second direction two adjacent electrode main sections are connected to each other by at least one connection section. Connections sections which are near to each other in the second direction are in different positions in the first direction.

Abstract: In a mounting structure in which an electronic component is mounted on a wiring board, a wiring sheet including an adhesive layer interposes between the electronic component and the wiring board and the electronic component is indirectly mounted on the wiring board. The electronic component is directly mounted on the adhesive layer of the wiring sheet and the adhesive layer of the wiring sheet is directly fitted to the wiring board. Conduction between the electronic component and the wiring board is attained by conduction between the electronic component and the wiring sheet and conduction between the wiring sheet and the wiring board.

Abstract: A socket connector includes a socket housing in which an island part and a peripheral wall surrounding the island part project upward from a bottom plate, a plurality of socket contacts arranged in the socket housing, and two protective metal fittings. In a cutting step, a half-dome part of the two protective metal fittings is formed by cutting a metal plate in such a way that a dome part in a symmetrical shape formed by drawing in the metal plate is split into two halves along a line of symmetry. In a press-fitting step, two press-fitting parts of each socket hold-down are press-fit into two long walls, respectively.

Abstract: A locator of a connector is attached to a shell so that it is moveable from a first position to a second position. The shell is made of metal, and each of side wall portions thereof is provided with a first aperture and a second aperture. The locator is provided with protruding portions. When the locator is positioned at the first position, each of the protruding portions is in the first aperture. When the locator is positioned at the second position, the protruding portion is in the second aperture. The shell is made of metal, so that it has predetermined strength even if the first aperture and the second aperture are provided therein. Since the first aperture and the second aperture pierce the side wall portion in a width direction, the protruding portions of the locator are visible. Thus, a position of the locator can be grasped.
