  • Patent number: 7364460
    Abstract: The fixing member of the present invention can be mounted to a fixed member that is fixed to a printed circuit board and that is used for fixing the fixed member to the printed circuit board, the fixing member including: a mounting member main body fixed to the fixed member; male connector portions having at tip ends thereof lug portions that are engaged with an opening edge of an insertion opening in the printed circuit board when inserted into the inserting opening; and contact portions that contact with a soldering land formed at the printed circuit board and are joined to the soldering land by soldering when the lug portions are engaged with the opening edge, the contact portions being formed at the mounting portion main body and the male connector portions extend arm-shaped from the mounting portion main body or from the contact portions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6773283
    Abstract: A connector housing (6) of the connector device (1) is composed of an outer housing (9) to be mounted onto a printed circuit board (2) by screwing, and an inner housing (8) connected to the outer housing (9) so as to be movable in the right and left direction with respect to the outer housing (9). Into the inner housing (8), there is incorporated a terminal (7) including a connecting portion (7a) to be connected by a terminal (5) of a mating connector device (3), a spring portion (7c), and a switch contact (7b) respectively formed integral with the terminal (7). On the printed circuit board (2), there is disposed an electrode (2a) with which the switch contact (7b) can be elastically contacted. Thanks to this structure, by switchingly moving the inner housing (8) in the right and left direction, circuit switching can be achieved.
