Patent number: 6666727Abstract: A connector which includes a connector socket and a mated connector plug to be fitted into the connector socket has a socket body which includes upper and lower terminal holding portions. The upper and lower terminal holding portions each have a plurality of terminals which are arranged in a row along the width direction of the socket body. The upper and lower terminal holding portions are arranged so as to face each other through a predetermined spacing. The connector socket further has a rib for maintaining the spacing between the upper and lower terminal holding portions for preventing both the terminal holding portions from being deformed so that they approach each other. The rib is integrally formed with the upper and lower terminal holding portions and arranged substantially at the center of the width direction of the socket body. The mated connector plug has a plate member which is inserted into the spacing when the connector plug is connected to the connector socket.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 23, 2003Assignee: Mitbumi Electronic Co. LTDInventors: Takeshi Konno, Akihito Sukegawa, Shinichi Asano

Patent number: 6036523Abstract: A connector socket has a metallic latch member that is inserted from the rear through a latch attachment opening to position an engagement section in a plug insertion opening where it can be engaged by a lock claw of a plug inserted into a plug insertion opening in the front surface of the connector socket. The metallic engagement section resists wear from repeated plugging and unplugging of a connector plug in the connector plug opening. The latch member has transversely extending fixed support pieces integrally formed with the engagement section, which fit through guide grooves in the latch attachment opening. Reverse engagement claws extending laterally from the outer ends of the fixed support pieces dig into, and permanently retain the latch member in place. The ability to easily insert the latch member through the rear surface of the connector socket reduces assembly cost, and permits a connector socket to have any desired number of plug insertion openings in its face.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1998Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akihito Sukegawa

Patent number: 6007374Abstract: A connector socket uses a small number of connector pin types and prevents short circuits from occurring between external connection ends of the connector pins. A plurality of plug insertion openings are formed in molded block of insulating resin. A plurality of connector pins are disposed with connection ends projecting inside the plug insertion openings. External connection ends at the other end of connector pins are connected to a conductive body of a printed circuit substrate. The connector pins are fitted into pin slots at the back of the plug insertion openings. A portion of the connector pins, oriented along the direction in which the plug insertion openings are arranged, serves as shared connector pins.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1998Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akihito Sukegawa

Patent number: 5971789Abstract: A box-shaped main plug unit is connected at one end to a cable. A plug of the main plug unit is insertable into plug insertion openings of a connector socket. A lock claw of a lock member is affixed to the main plug unit, and is positioned to lock into latch openings of the plug insertion openings. A slider is slidably supported on the main plug unit. When the slider is slid on the main plug unit it forcibly disengages the lock claw from the latch opening. A pull-out handle is rotatably supported on the slider. The pull-out handle is rotatable between a protected inoperative position and a projecting operative position where it permits application of removal force on the main plug unit. A fixed projection is integrally formed on the slider to further aid in the application of a pull-out force to the main plug unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1998Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akihito Sukegawa
