Abstract: In order to eliminate the need to provide a connector including a side retainer with an additional waterproof seal for the side retainer, the connector includes a terminal holder in which the side retainer is mounted, and the terminal holder is configured to define access passages such that a tool for moving the side retainer between first and second positions can be inserted into an inlet of the terminal holder so as to reach inclined cam surfaces of the side retainer and move the side retainer.

Abstract: Plug side connectors are prevented from moving relative to each other in the connecting/disconnecting direction, and one of the plug side connectors can be individually disconnected from the device side connector. The connector structure includes a longitudinal movement restricting protrusion on one of laterally facing side surfaces of the moveable member, which is resiliently deformably provided on the plug side housing, and a pair of stopper portions provided on another of the laterally facing side surfaces of the piece (48), and configured to restrict a movement of the longitudinal movement restricting protrusion of the laterally adjoining second housing (32) in the longitudinal direction by aligning with the longitudinal movement restricting protrusion (54) with respect to the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Plug side housings can be joined to each other by dovetail jointing without requiring experience and in an efficient manner. One of the opposing faces of adjacent plug side housings is provided with a groove and a positioning groove extending from at least one end of the groove in a same direction as the groove and configured to loosely receive a linear protrusion provided on the other opposing face, or the other opposing face is provided with a positioning protrusion extending from at least one end of the linear protrusion in a same direction as the linear protrusion and configured to be loosely fitted in the groove provided on the one opposing face.

Abstract: An electronic device unit includes a circuit board having: a sealing resin portion in which a region in which an electronic component is mounted is sealed by a sealing resin; and a board end portion exposed from a side of the sealing resin portion. A plurality of connection terminals are provided on the board end portion so as to be aligned in a direction of the side of the sealing resin portion, and a resin portion thicker than the board end portion and having a wall-like projection shape is provided at at least one of side surfaces of the board end portion in the direction of the side. The resin portion is integrally molded with the sealing resin portion of the circuit board and a side surface of the resin portion is press-fitted into an insertion chamber of a connector.

Abstract: A connector that includes: a box-shaped substrate side housing containing a terminal mount wall extending in a plane defined by mutually orthogonal X and Y axes, four side walls; and terminals arranged in two rows, the rows being apart from each other in an X axis direction, such that the terminals in each row are in alignment with one another in a Y axis direction, is provided. A lock part is provided on one of the two first side walls for detachably locking a plug housing in an inserted position, and, on each of the second side walls, a first and a second reinforcement plate mount parts are provided at two different positions apart from each other in the X-axis direction, and a reinforcement plate may be mounted to each of the two first and the two second reinforcement plate mount parts. The housing may be alternatively mounted in an upward opening manner or in a right angle manner and with the reinforcement plate edges soldered to a printed circuit board in each case.

Abstract: A plurality of plug side connectors that can be joined to and separated from one another are prevented from being combined incorrectly. An arrangement is made such that only when a particular combination of two of the plug side connectors are adjacent to each other, the groove of one of the two plug side housings slidably engages with the linear protrusion of the other plug side housing, or the linear protrusion of one of the two plug side housings slidably engages with the groove of the other plug side housing.

Abstract: Plug side housings can be joined to each other by dovetail jointing without requiring experience and in an efficient manner. One of the opposing faces of adjacent plug side housings is provided with a groove and a positioning groove extending from at least one end of the groove in a same direction as the groove and configured to loosely receive a linear protrusion provided on the other opposing face, or the other opposing face is provided with a positioning protrusion extending from at least one end of the linear protrusion in a same direction as the linear protrusion and configured to be loosely fitted in the groove provided on the one opposing face.

Abstract: A connector terminal (10) is provided with a housing (14) for slidably guiding the connector terminal (10) over a conductive surface (92) of a board side terminal (90), and a spring piece (34) supported by the housing (14) so as to resiliently contact the conductive surface (92), and the spring piece (34) is configured in such a manner that a contact portion (48) of the spring piece (34) moves into a path of movement of the conductive surface (92) to serve as a contact portion (48) for electric contact with the board side terminal (90) as a pressing portion (46) of the spring piece is pressed by the conductive surface (92) owing to a sliding movement of the connector terminal (10) relative to the board side terminal (90).

Abstract: To prevent an increase of the number of kinds of components required for offset arrangement, an increase in risk of assembly error and extra time and effort for parts management, in a connector including mutually facing terminal members with contacting portions being offset in the insertion direction. Mutually facing terminal members 20 are formed on components identical in shape. The mutually facing terminal members 20 are secured to a connector housing 12 while being offset in an insertion direction of a double-sided card edge 102 inserted into a receptacle compartment 14 of the connector housing 12.
