  • Publication number: 20220271470
    Abstract: For a connector including a terminal and a housing into which the terminal is inserted, the degrees of freedom of design are raised for a retaining portion that retains the terminal, and adjustment of connector characteristics such as impedance is facilitated. A connector is configured including terminals (signal terminals and power source terminals) and housings into which the terminals are inserted. The housings are configured including a first housing (the fitting housing) and a second housing (the mounted housing). The first housing includes first side retaining portions (signal terminal retaining portions and power source terminal retaining portions of the fitting housing) that retain portions of the terminals. The second housing includes second side retaining portions (signal terminal retaining portions and power source terminal retaining portions of the mounted housing) that retain other portions of the terminals.

  • Patent number: 10971850
    Abstract: A movable connector including a stationary housing for fixing to a substrate, a movable housing capable of moving relative to the stationary housing, and a restriction fitting that has been integrated with the stationary housing. The restriction fitting includes a counterpart engagement portion. The counterpart engagement portion is configured to abut an engagement portion that is part of the movable housing from a connector upward direction so as to enable the engagement portion to be restrained in a restraint space that is a predetermined region. The counterpart engagement portion forms a through-pass section to permit the engagement portion to pass into the restraint space from outside.
