  • Patent number: 11901658
    Abstract: An electric connector set having an impedance adjustment function and a mounting structure, and including a first connector that mounts onto a first circuit board, and a second connector that mounts onto a second circuit to be insertable into and withdrawable from the first connector in an insertion-withdrawal direction. The first connector includes a first connection terminal having first mounting portions to mount onto first land portions on the first circuit board and a first insulating member that holds the first connection terminal. The second connector includes a second connection terminal having second mounting portions to mount onto second land portions on the second circuit board and a second insulating member that holds the second connection terminal. In an engagement state of the electric connector set, the first mounting portions oppose the second mounting portions and overlap the second mounting portions as viewed in the insertion-withdrawal direction.

  • Patent number: 4665740
    Abstract: A combustion process sensor for detecting combustion processes occurring in a combustion chamber of an engine has a generally tubular mounting casing to be screwed into a threaded hole in the combustion chamber wall and a quartz-glass rod axially extending in the mounting casing and held in position therein. The casing includes two axially aligned generally tubular members rigidly secured together at their own ends. The quartz-glass rod has a first portion remote from a sensing end thereof adapted to be exposed to combustion flame in the combustion chamber, and a second portion between the first portion and the sensing end. The first portion is secured to one of the two tubular members of the casing, while the second portion is supported from the casing only by a vibration damping material disposed in engagement with the outer peripheral surface of the quartz-glass rod and the inner peripheral surface of the casing.
