Abstract: A sheet guide apparatus includes a transfer cylinder, delivery chains, and sheet guide structure. The transfer cylinder holds a sheet. The delivery chains hold the sheet received from the transfer cylinder and conveys the sheet along a first convey path which is at least substantially arcuate. The sheet guide structure guides the sheet conveyed by the delivery chains. The sheet guide structure includes a movable guide member and stationary guide member. The movable guide member is movable between positions close to and spaced apart from the first convey path. The stationary guide member is stationarily arranged at a position spaced apart from the first convey path. When the movable guide member is close to the first convey path, a thin-sheet guide surface having a continuous substantially arcuate section is formed by only the movable guide member.

Abstract: [Problems to be Solved] The present invention provides a longer optical transmission line in an photoelectric flexible wiring board to downsize the photoelectric flexible wiring board and obtaining high flexibility and good optical transmission characteristics. [Means for Solving the Problems] In an photoelectric flexible wiring board 30, photonic devices 45 and 55 performing photoelectric conversion and drivers 60 and 70 therefor are excluded. The photonic devices 45 and 55 are mounted in connectors 40 and 50 for connecting the photoelectric flexible wiring board 30 to mounting boards 12 and 22. The drivers 60 and 70 are mounted on the mounting boards 12 and 22 together with the connectors 40 and 50.

Abstract: An electric connector includes an insulative housing of such a shape as to be engageable on a front side thereof with a mating connector, a contact group including a plurality of contacts, a shield cover for surrounding outer surfaces of the housing, and a metal shield plate for impedance matching. The contacts are arranged in a widthwise direction of the connector so as to correspond to contacts of the mating connector. Proximal ends of the contacts are held and fixed in terminal insertion holes formed in the housing and leading ends of the contacts being exposed from the terminal insertion holes. The metal shield plate has a width thereof corresponding to a lateral length of the contact group and is disposed between the shield cover and the contact group and facing the contact group.

Abstract: An electric connector includes: an insulating body, having holes aligned in a widthwise direction thereof at an equal pitch distance in a plurality of levels shifted in phase and spaced apart from one another in correspondence with contacts of a mating connector; a plurality of levels of contact groups, each including L-shaped contacts with tip end sides thereof being received and retained in the holes and base end sides thereof being disposed along a rear face of the body, lead portions at rear ends of the contacts being aligned in a line in the widthwise direction at a pitch distance t; and a dielectric spacer, disposed in a blank region on the rear face of the body, the blank region being defined by adjacent ones of the contacts with base end sides thereof spaced apart at a distance “n×t,” the n being an integer not smaller than two.

Abstract: An electric connector includes an insulative body and groups of contacts. The contacts are disposed in spaced relationship inside the body and arranged in at least two rows in a lateral direction of the body. The groups of contacts include a plurality of first contacts; and a plurality of second contacts located in a different row from a row where their associated first contacts exist, the second contacts being arranged next to the first contacts. Out of one of the first contacts and one of the second contacts subject to impedance tuning, one of these two contacts has a width and an area thereof adjusted in accordance with a difference in impedance from impedances between other first and second contacts.
