  • Publication number: 20180145434
    Abstract: A connector is arranged in a hole portion of a retaining member and is fitted as a floating connector to a mating connector. For example, the connector includes a plurality of abutment portions, which are brought into abutment against the hole portion when the connector is arranged in the hole portion, and a plurality of biasing portions, which are configured to bias the plurality of abutment portions in respective abutment directions relative to a main outer surface portion of a shell. The plurality of abutment portions include a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion which are formed in an opposite side over a main plane being a plane which includes a main center line and is perpendicular to the main outer surface portion, and a third abutment portion which is formed at a position forming a triangle with the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion.

  • Patent number: 9899756
    Abstract: A connector is attachable to a board having a principal surface, a recess and a board-side contact portion. When the connector is attached to the board, the connector is, at least in part, arranged within the recess while an upper-lower direction with respect to the connector intersects with the principal surface. The connector comprises a contact and a holding member having a protection portion. The contact has a held portion held by the holding member, a support portion extending from the held portion to be resiliently deformable and a contact portion supported by the support portion. When the connector is attached to the board, the contact portion is brought into contact with the board-side contact portion, and the protection portion is, at least in part, positioned within the recess. The protection portion hides the contact portion when seen along a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the upper-lower direction.

  • Patent number: 7226315
    Abstract: In an electric connector including a conductive shell fitting portion to be fitted to a mating connector, a receiving portion is arranged within the shell fitting portion to receive a load by plying force between the electric connector and the mating connector. It is preferable that a housing is coupled to the shell fitting portion and that a conductive contact is held by the housing. In this case, the receiving portion has a flat shape with its one end coupled to the housing and the other end coupled to the shell fitting portion. The receiving portion may be made of a metal material or a resin material.
