Patent number: 7435145Abstract: A connection terminal that can be brought into stable one-point contact with an electrode and that allows for a smooth connecting operation, even in the case of small contact pads or other such electrodes for establishing electrical contact. A socket contact as the connection terminal is provided to an electronic-component connector having an open portion into which a module is inserted. The socket contact comes into contact at the distal end with an electrode of the module in a direction that intersects with the connecting direction of the module when the module is inserted. The socket contact has a contact part having a contact trunk that protrudes into the opening from the proximal-end side, and a contact point provided to the distal end of the contact trunk. The concave electrode of the module slides from the proximal-end side of the contact part to the distal-end side, and the contact part narrows towards the front surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2006Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Nishio, Shinichi Asano

Patent number: 7402359Abstract: A positive terminal 20 for a dry battery of a battery box 1a includes an electrode portion 22 adapted to make contact with the anode of a battery, a soldering portion 13 soldered to the substrate 6, and a lead portion 21 integrally provided between the electrode portion 22 and the soldering portion 13. Further, a load absorbing means is provided in the lead portion 21 to prevent a force exerted in the longitudinal direction of the battery from being applied directly to the soldering portion 13. The lead portion 21 includes an extending part 21a which extends in the longitudinal direction of the battery and is continuous with the electrode portion 22, and a loop part 21b bent in a substantially ring shape and positioned within a plane roughly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery, wherein the loop part 21b forms the load absorbing means.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., LtdInventors: Atsushi Nishio, Yoshinori Ohta, Yasuhiko Shinohara

Patent number: 7331812Abstract: An electronic-component connector forms a secure detachable connection and is packaged in a small space even when the electronic component is a module that is linked to an optical waveguide, and transmits and receives a signal such as an optical signal via the transfer member. An optical waveguide extends from a first side of a module connected to the connector. The connector body of the electronic-component connector has an open portion for accommodating a module inserted from the open side. A socket contact portion for contacting a connection terminal of the module is provided to the open portion. A lead-out path is formed in the shape of a groove in the connector body communicated with the open portion, and leads out the optical waveguide from the connector body. A cover member is attached to the connector body so as to open, close, and secure the module inside the open portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2006Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Nishio, Shinichi Asano, Yoshihiro Ishikawa
