Abstract: A single pole female connector has: a mounting base portion in which is formed a terminal insertion hole into which a male terminal can be inserted; an extending portion extending outwardly from the mounting base portion; and a terminal contacting portion which extends from a peripheral edge of the mounting base portion in a direction substantially orthogonal to a plate portion, and which is formed so as to be able to nip the male terminal. The extending portion is electrically connected by being reflow soldered to a land at a reverse surface of the substrate. It is difficult for cream solder to enter into a male terminal insertion path at an inner side of the female connector.

Abstract: A socket for an inspection apparatus for connecting an inspection circuit board and an inspected device includes: a plate-like housing including a first surface opposed to a surface on which a terminal of the inspected device is disposed and a second surface opposed to a surface on which an electrode of the inspection circuit board is disposed, the housing having a terminal-receiving holes which extends through the housing in the thickness direction thereof; and a connection terminal attached to the housing for electrically conducting the terminal of the inspected device and the electrode of the inspection circuit board, the connection terminal including a elastically deformable one-piece member which is a bent elongated member and being held in the terminal-receiving hole in the housing so as to be movable in the thickness direction of the housing.

Abstract: A connector 1 according to the invention comprises a main body 10 for receiving the front end of a flat cable 2 being inserted therein, a movable pressurizing member 11 adapted to press and rigidly secure in position the flat cable 2 inserted into the main body 10 and projections 13 arranged either on the main body 10 or on the pressurizing member 11 so as to be engaged respectively with the corresponding holes 23 of the flat cable 2 when the front end of the flat cable is inserted into the connector 1 to take a right position in the connector 1. The flat cable 2 comprises a flexible base member 21 and wires 22 formed in the flexible base member 21, the flexible base member 21 being provided with holes 23 to be engaged respectively with the corresponding projections 13 arranged in the connector 1 when the flexible base member 21 is inserted into the connector 1 to take a right position in the connector 1.

Abstract: The present invention provides a frame connector that includes a hollow portion for receiving a projecting block of a mating connector. Recess portions are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the hollow portion of the frame connector for receiving pin terminals of an electronic device, such as a hard disk drive. The present invention also contemplates a connector system wherein the frame connector is connected to a connector portion of an electronic device, such as a hard disk drive, having a plurality of pin terminals. The frame connector receives each pin terminal in a recess portion of the inner circumferential surface of the hollow portion and is mounted on the connector portion of the electronic device to protect the pin terminals from being bent. A mating, or base, connector is mounted to a substrate. The base connector includes a projecting block including base connector termninals.

Abstract: A card connector is provided which includes a stopper mechanism for functioning in such a manner that in a case where a memory card is inserted and attached to a connector, the memory card is prevented from being detached from the connector, or even when the card is detached, the detachment is restricted within a detachment allowable range where electrical connection is not influenced. The card connector is carried in a portable information terminal apparatus to prevent connector detachment caused due to an external impact.
