Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to connect an optical fiber and an optical waveguide with a low loss. The present disclosure is an optical connector plug, including: an optical waveguide having two guide pin V-grooves engraved on one surface thereof and having a cross section of one or more cores appearing between cross sections of the guide pin V-grooves on one end face thereof; two guide pins separately arranged in the two guide pin V-grooves; a flat substrate so fixed as to tuck the two guide pins in the two guide pin V-grooves on the one surface of the optical waveguide; and a fixing member equipped with the optical waveguide, the two guide pins, and the flat substrate.

Abstract: In a synchronization system, a frequency divider circuit generates a divided clock by dividing a reference clock in a first division ratio. First and second devices operate in synchronization with the reference clock and the divided clock. A division ratio detection circuit, for each period of the divided clock, detects a division ratio of the divided clock based on a count value counted in synchronization with the reference clock and output the division ratio as a second division ratio. A decoder generates a strobe signal, which is for controlling a timing at which the first device transmits and receives a signal to and from the second device, based on the count value and the second division ratio. The first device communicates with the second device through a bus, which operates in synchronization with the divided clock, based on the strobe signal.

Abstract: A first housing (10) is provided with a tubular hood (12) and a rotatable lever (30). A lock (32) on the lever (30) and a to-be-locked portion (21) provided on the hood (12) are locked to each other at an open end side of the hood (12) when the first and second housings (10; 50) have been fit normally together. Thus, rotation of the lever is prevented. A hold-down portion (52) on the second housing (50) covers the open end of the hood (12) when the first and second housings (10; 50) have been fit normally together and prevents the open end of the hood (12) from elastically deforming in a return direction of the lever (30) while unlocking the to-be-locked portion (21) and the lock (32) from each other.

Abstract: A female terminal fitting has a rectangular tubular body (12) with opposed first and second walls (16, 17) and an insertion opening (15) for receiving a tab (11). An elastic contact piece (21) is inside the body (12) and extends obliquely from a support (27) on the second wall (17) of the body (12) towards both the first wall (16) and the insertion opening (15). The elastic contact piece (21) then bends back towards the second wall (17) to define an apex (23). A projection (30) projects toward the first wall (16) from a location on the elastic contact piece (21) between the support (27) and the apex (23). The elastic contact piece (21) deforms flexibly about the support (27) when the tab (11) is inserted into the body (12), thus sandwiching the tab (11) between a contact (31) of the projection (30) and the first wall (16).

Abstract: A connector has a housing (10) with cavities (12) for accommodating terminal fittings (30). A retainer-mounting hole (17) is formed in a side of the housing (10) and communicates with the cavities (12). A retainer (50) can be mounted in the retainer-mounting hole (17) at a predetermined normal depth to lock the terminal fittings (30) in the cavities (12). The retainer (50) has side locks (61) at both sides of the retainer (50) that lock to a corresponding side to-be-locked surface (22) in the housing (10). The retainer (10) also has an intermediate lock (68) at a central position of the retainer (50) that locks to an intermediate to-be-locked surface (22) in the housing (10). The blocking strength of the intermediate lock (68) exceeds the locking strength of the side locks (61).

Abstract: A shielded terminal (20) is inserted into a cavity (31) of a female housing (30) while inserting stabilizers (28) bulging out to left and right sides therefrom along guide grooves (40), and is partly locked by a locking portion (35). A retainer (50) is inserted into a retainer mount hole (42) while inserting legs (52) at the opposite sides into insertion grooves (44). When the retainer (50) is pushed to a full locking position, retaining portions (54) are engaged with the rear edges of the stabilizers (28) to doubly lock the shielded terminal (20). The retainer (50) is locked at the full locking position by the resilient engagement of full locking claws (58) with full locking sections (48) as well as by the fitting engagement of elongated locking projections (60) formed on the inner surfaces of the leg pieces (52) with end portions of the guide grooves (40).

Abstract: A connector (10) has auxiliary housings (12) that can be mounted in a housing main body (11) by a cam action generated by a slider (20) having sliding plates (22). Locks (15) lock the properly mounted auxiliary housings (12) in the housing main body (11). The locks (15) are deformed into movement paths for the sliding plates (22) when auxiliary housings (12) are mounted improperly, thereby preventing movement of the slider (20) to a connecting position. However, the locks (15) are retracted from the movement paths for the sliding plates (22) when the auxiliary housings (12) are mounted properly so that the slider (20) can move to the connecting position.

Abstract: A terminal fitting (20) has close-contact portions (24) that frictionally engage inner walls (11a) of a press-in hole (11), biting projections (25) behind the close-contact portions (24) for biting in the inner walls (11a) of the press-in hole (11) and recesses (26) behind the biting projections (25). The close-contact portions (24) are held in sliding contact with the inner walls (11a) at an initial stage of the pressing operation. Thus, a resistance is smaller as compared to a case where projections are moved while biting in the inner walls (11a).

Abstract: Resilient deformation of a rubber plug (13) can be absorbed by a housing-side groove (28A) and a holder-side groove (28B) formed to surround all wire insertion holes (24), thereby preventing the displacements of the wire insertion holes (24). Thus, a reduction in operability at the time of inserting female terminal fittings (12) and wires (20) through the rubber plug (13) can be avoided. Further, a housing-side pressing portion (22A) and a holder-side pressing portion (22B) are pressed into the housing-side groove (28A) and the holder-side groove (28B) over the entire periphery to press the rubber plug (13) into contact with the inner surface of an accommodation recess (21), sealability between a housing (11) and the rubber plug (13) can be ensured.

Abstract: A frame (70) is formed with a slider accommodating space (75) and a housing accommodating space (74) that are partitioned by inner walls (78). A slider (50) is formed with cam grooves (51) to face the housing accommodating space (74), and a male housing (30) is pulled to a connection position by a movement of the slider (50) in a direction substantially normal to a connecting direction with cam pins (31) of the male housing (30) engaged with the cam grooves (51). The inner walls (78) have thinned portions (79) reducing the thickness of the inner walls (78). Surrounding walls (19) of receptacles (13) of auxiliary housings (11) enter the thinned portions (19) to arrange the surrounding walls (19) in proximity to main portions (53) of the slider (50).

Abstract: A positioning plate (50) is mounted to a circuit board connector (10), and has insertion holes (51) into which jig contacts (29) of terminals (20) are insertable. A depth (D) of the insertion holes (51) exceeds a length (L) of the jig contact (29) of the terminal (20). Thus, upon mounting the circuit board connector (10) on a circuit board (40), the resilient contacts (27) of each terminal (20) are inserted into a corresponding through hole (41) until the positioning plate (50) comes contacts the circuit board (40), whereby further insertion of the resilient contacts (27) is prevented. As a result, lower edges (29B) of the jig contacts (29) are spaced from the circuit board (40). Thus, the circuit board (40) cannot be damaged by the lower edges (29B) of the jig contacts (29).
