  • Patent number: 9147952
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembled component includes a first attachment connector for attaching to a first circuit board member; a second attachment connector for attaching to a second circuit member; and an intermediate connector that is provided between the first attachment connector and the second attachment connector. The intermediate connector has conducting terminals in the housing. The first attachment connector and the second attachment connector have first receiving terminals and second receiving terminals. Each conducting terminal has a first contact section; a second contact section; and a joining section. An elastic cylindrical member is made of metal and can elastically deform in the radial direction so as to allow movement of the first contact section and the second contact section. The elastic cylindrical member contacts with the first contact section and the first receiving terminal or the second contact section and the second receiving terminal.

  • Publication number: 20150038018
    Abstract: An intermediate electrical connector includes a plurality of blades including a male type blade and a female type blade; and a holding member for holding the blades. The male type blade includes a first terminal including a first contact portion disposed on a first terminal arrangement surface. The female type blade includes a second terminal including a second contact portion disposed a second terminal arrangement surface. The holding member includes a first holding portion for holding the male type blade, a second holding portion for holding the female type blade, and a third holding portion for holding the male type blade or the female type blade. The first holding portion is situated adjacent to the second handling portion. The first holding portion holds the male type blade so that the first terminal arrangement surface is opposite to the second terminal arrangement surface.
