  • Patent number: 9692165
    Abstract: A coaxial connector is manufactured to have a structure in which a first resin member is not easily separated from an external terminal. A coaxial connector according to the present disclosure includes a first resin member, a second resin member attached to the first resin member, a fixed terminal and a movable terminal disposed between the first resin member and the second resin member, and an external terminal attached to outer peripheries of the first resin member and the second resin member. The external terminal includes a cylindrical accommodating portion that accommodates the first resin member, and the first resin member includes a resin engagement portion. The resin engagement portion is engaged with the accommodating portion, so that separation of the first resin member is prevented.

  • Patent number: 8951063
    Abstract: A crimp terminal (10) has a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) that has a core crimping portion (22) that is fixed by crimping to a core (38) of a coated wire (32), and a link (16) that extends between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) is formed by a pair of slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in a direction along which the link (16) so as to be separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction. An intermediate region (28) sandwiched between the slits (26) in the width direction is deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion (22) protrudes.

  • Patent number: 8556662
    Abstract: A card connector includes an insulating housing defining a card recess, first electrical terminals and second electrical terminals disposed in the insulating housing. Each first electrical terminal has a base strip, a first fixing arm, a first elastic arm extending forward and inclining upward from the first fixing arm, a second elastic arm slantwise extending forward and upward from a substantial middle of the base strip and apart located under the first elastic arm, and a contact portion protruding upward from a front end of the base strip and apart located under the second elastic arm. A distal end of the first elastic arm elastically stretches upward into the card recess, and can be pressed downward to resist against the second elastic arm so as to make the second elastic arm further contact with the contact portion when an electronic card is inserted into the card recess.

  • Patent number: 8084876
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wind turbine for generating electric power. The wind turbine includes a generator (105) and a wind turbine rotor (101) for driving the generator (105). The generator includes a generator stator (201) having at least two stator poles (203), and a generator rotor (210) comprising at least two magnetic components (211). At least part of the generator stator (201) contains metal having directional magnetic properties. The generator (105) is connected to the wind turbine rotor (101) via a gearbox (103), in order to increase the rotational speed of the generator (105) in comparison with the rotational speed of the wind turbine rotor (101).
