Patent number: 8988882Abstract: A circuit element is arranged on an organic substrate and connected to a wiring pattern arranged on the organic substrate. An internal connection electrode is formed on a conductive support body by electroforming so as to obtain a unitary block of the internal connection electrode and the support body. Each end of each of the internal connection electrodes connected into a unitary block by the support body is connected to the wiring pattern. After the circuit element is sealed by resin, the support body is peeled off, so as to obtain individual internal connection electrodes separately and the other end of each of the internal connection electrodes is used as an external connection electrode on the front surface while the external connection electrode on the rear surface is connected to the wiring pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignees: Molex Japan Co., Ltd., Kagoshima UniversityInventors: Kenji Ohsawa, Rinkou Fukunaga, Katsuya Tsuruta, Kei Mizuta, Masamichi Ishihara

Patent number: 8860454Abstract: A connector includes a first terminal. The first terminal includes a movable portion, and the movable portion has, on its tip side, a contact portion located on a course C of a case assembly. Further, the first terminal includes a fixed portion restricted from moving and located on a base side of the movable portion. The movable portion is elastically deformable to incline toward a side surface of an insertion hole while using the fixed portion as a fixed point. Further, the movable portion includes a hit portion between the contact portion and the fixed portion.

Patent number: 8657625Abstract: A connector includes a signal terminal, an insulating member, a ground terminal and an enclosure. The signal terminal has a main body extending in one direction, and a contact arm provided on each side of the main body for contacting another conductor. The insulating member encloses the main body. The ground terminal has a cylindrical main body enclosing the insulating member, and a contact arm provided on each side of the cylindrical main body for contacting another conductor. The cylindrical main body includes first and second semi-cylindrical parts, each having semi cylindrical shapes. The semi-cylindrical parts make a cylindrical shape as a whole by both end parts of the circumferential direction being assembled so as to mutually overlap. An insertion hole is formed in the enclosure where an assembly of the signal element, the insulating member and the ground terminal are inserted.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignees: Molex Japan Co., Ltd., Advantest CorporationInventors: Hirotaka Wagata, Shin Sakiyama, Hiroyuki Hama, Teruhito Suzuki, Hiroyuki Yajima, Akinori Mizumura
