Abstract: A multiple tier electrical connector includes a housing (2) having a plurality of lower arranging grooves (8) for receiving a lower row of cables; a plurality of guiding sections (8C) provided on upper portions of the lower arranging grooves; an arranging member (4) having a plurality of upper arranging grooves (12) for receiving an upper row of cables and a plurality of downward guiding projections (11) for entering the guiding sections.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing body (1) having a plurality of first arranging grooves (4) for arranging a first row of insulated conductors (C1) of a cable in a plane perpendicular to a plugging direction to a mating connector; an intermediate member (3) having a first surface facing the first row of conductors and second arranging grooves (3D) on a second surface opposite to the first surface for arranging a second row of insulated conductors (C2); a holding member (2) for holding first and second rows of contact elements (5, 6) and having an plug opening (7); a plurality of first press connection sections (5B) extending from the first contact elements at such positions that they cut into core wires of the first row of conductors; a plurality of connection sections (5A, 6A) extending from the first and second contact elements into the plug opening; a plurality of extension sections (6C) extending from the second row of contact elements in parallel to the second row of conductors; and a plurality

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing body (1) having an arranging section (5) in which a cable with a core wire (C1) consisting of a plurality of strands is placed; a retainer body (2) having contact elements (3) with a blade-like press contact section (12) so that when the retainer body is fitted in the housing body,.the press contact section cuts into the core wire for making press connection; a stepped-down portion (7) provided in the arranging section of the housing body near a position of the press connection; and a press section (10) extending as downwardly from the retainer body to a level less than a tip of the press contact section to press the cable so that the cable is bent along the stepped-down portion.

Abstract: A socket for a light emitting diode with a pair of leads, which includes a case (2); a first lead terminal (4) provided in the case and having a resistor contact and a first lead contact for contact with one of the leads; a second lead terminal (5) provided in the case and having a first contact portion and a second lead contact for contact with the other lead; a contact terminal (6) provided within the case and having a second contact portion and a second resistor contact; a resistor (7) provided within the case so that the resistor is held between the first and second resistor contacts.

Abstract: An indicator lamp employing a light emitting diode (50) with a pair of leads, which includes a PCB socket (53) to be mounted on a printed circuit board; a removable socket (1) having an insert portion to be fitted into the PCB socket; a first lead terminal (4) provided in the removable socket and having a resistor contact and a first lead contact for contact with one of the leads; a second lead terminal (5) provided in the removable socket and having a first contact portion and a second lead contact for contact with the other lead; a contact terminal (6) provided within the removable socket and having a second contact portion and a second resistor contact; and a resistor (7) provided within the removable socket so that the resistor is held between the first and second resistor contacts.
