  • Patent number: 7871286
    Abstract: A flat multi-conductor cable connector comprises a main body and a back plate. Arc-shaped cross-section flat-multi-conductor-cable holding grooves extending parallel to each other are formed in the main body and the back plate in a symmetrical manner. The opposing faces of a flat multi-conductor cable are held in the grooves of the main body and the back plate, so that the cable is sandwiched between the main body and the back plate for electric connection between intended conductors of the flat multi-conductor cable and a device mounted on an upper face of the main body. The number of grooves of either of the main body and the back plate is at least one or more greater than the number of poles of the flat multi-conductor cable. Protrusions are provided in middle portions of alternate grooves of the back plate except the two endmost grooves, and block the alternate groove.

  • Patent number: 6971927
    Abstract: In a connector terminal into which a cooperating male contact terminal can be smoothly inserted and a movable contact strip can be prevented from being buckled while a desired contact pressure can be attained, a connecting portion 11 is formed into a substantially box shape by folding a bottom plate 13, side plates 14, 15 (14 is not shown) continuously extending from respective sides of the bottom plate and a top plate 16 continuously extending from one of the side plates. A movable contact strip 17 is formed by folding back the top plate 16 around a gently curved portion 17a into a resilient spring having an inverted triangular shape including a contact portion 17b near an inwardly bent middle portion of the movable contact strip 17. A hole 17c is formed at an end portion of the movable contact strip 17 into which an engagement tip 16b formed by folding a part of the top plate 16 inwardly is inserted.
