  • Connector having an alignment function for a small board to be connected thereto
    Patent number: 6540539
    Abstract: A connector is adapted to connect a small board (1) inserted in a first direction (A1) and is provided with an elastic member (13) for pressing opposite ends of the small board in a second direction (A2) when the small board is inserted into an insulator housing (3). The small board is inserted into the housing to be faced to conductive contacts fixed to the housing. Upon insertion, the small board is positioned with respect to the contacts by means of the elastic member. Thereafter, the small board is rotated in a thickness direction around its part inserted into the housing to connect the small board and the contacts.
