  • Publication number: 20240039197
    Abstract: A connector includes a first insulator, a second insulator, and a contact. The first insulator is formed in a rectangular shape and includes a pair of first side walls and a bottom wall. The second insulator extends along a longitudinal direction of the first insulator. The second insulator is partially positioned in a space surrounded by the pair of first side walls and the bottom wall and is movable relative to the first insulator. The contact is mounted on the first side walls of the first insulator and on the second insulator and includes an elastic portion. The elastic portion is located between the first insulator and the second insulator and connects the first insulator and the second insulator to each other. The second insulator and the elastic portion are spaced apart from the first insulator and face the bottom wall in a non-fitted state in which the second insulator and a connection target are not fitted to each other.

  • Patent number: 10862234
    Abstract: Provided is a contact that has a reduced profile and is capable of demonstrating an excellent transmission characteristic with respect to a high frequency signal. A contact (40) according to the present disclosure is the contact (40) of a first connector (20) coupled to a second connector (70) in order to electrically couple a circuit board (CB1) and a circuit board (CB2) together, and includes: a first contact portion (45) that comes into contact with a contact (90) of the second connector (70) when the first connector (20) and the second connector (70) are coupled together; a pair of latches (42) latched to a first insulator (30) of the first connector (20); and a bend (43) that couples the pair of latches (42) together. The bend (43) is formed in a position lower than a part of the first contact portion (45) that protrudes the most toward the bend (43).

  • Patent number: 10777941
    Abstract: Provided is a connector having a reduced profile that is capable of facilitating confirmation of the mounting on a circuit board and, simultaneously, demonstrating a satisfactory noise-shielding effect. A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes: a first connector (20) equipped with a pair of outer peripheral walls (32) opposing each other and a fitting projection (33) formed between the pair of outer peripheral walls (32); and a second connector (70) equipped with a second insulator (80) having a fitting recess (83) fit to the fitting protruding (33) and a second shielding member (110) supported by the second insulator (80). When the first connector (20) and the second connector (70) are fitted to each other, the first shielding member (60) and the second shielding member (110) engage each other are partially spaced apart from the first insulator (30) and the second insulator (80), respectively.

  • Patent number: 10601182
    Abstract: Provided is a connector that has a reduced profile and is capable of bringing shielding structures of two connectors coupled together into contact with each other. A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes a first connector (20) and a second connector (70). The first connector (20) is equipped with a first insulator (30) that includes a pair of outer peripheral walls (32) opposing each other and a fitting projection (33) formed between the pair of outer peripheral walls (32), and a first shielding member (60) supported by the first insulator (30). The second connector (70) includes a second insulator (80) equipped with a fitting recess (83) fit to the fitting projection (33), and a second shielding member (110) supported by the second insulator (80). When the first connector (20) and the second connector (70) are fitted to each other, the first shielding member (60) and the second shielding member (110) are fitted to each other.
