  • Publication number: 20170005434
    Abstract: A connector includes a contact in an elongated shape that is electrically conductive, and a housing that has an internal space is formed. The contact includes a contact portion, a connection portion, a fixing portion, and a protruding portion. The contact portion is to be electrically connected to an electrically conductive member when the contact is housed in the housing. The connection portion is electrically connected to a core wire of an electrical wire. The fixing portion is provided on a side opposite to the contact portion relative to the connection portion, and fixes a covering of the electrical wire. The protruding portion is provided on an end portion side of the fixing portion opposite to the connection portion so as to protrude. The protruding portion reduces the amount of movement of the contact inside the internal space of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20160329647
    Abstract: A cable holding member includes a stopper member and a housing. The stopper member has an attachment surface for supporting a flat cable in a folded state. The housing has a mounting surface which is provided at an opening edge of a housing space for housing the stopper member-and on which the flat cable is to be placed, and recesses into which protrusions of the flat cable placed on the mounting surface are to be fitted. The flat cable is placed on the mounting surface, and then, the stopper member is inserted into the housing space of the housing. In this way, the stopper member is attached to the housing with the flat cable being supported on the attachment surface.

  • Patent number: 4562050
    Abstract: A process for producing boron nitride is described, comprising reacting at least one boron compound selected from the group consisting of boric acid and metal salt thereof and at least one nitrogen-containing compound which is capable of bonding to the boron compound to form a compound in which a boron atom and a nitrogen atom co-exist, and then heating the compound thus formed at a temperature of at least 600.degree. C. in an atmosphere of inert or reducing gas. This process can produce high purity boron nitride at relatively low temperatures in high yields. Moreover, boron nitride can be obtained in desired crystal forms including a flake-like crystal form.
