Patent number: 8523603Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The second connector is engageable with the first connector along a downward direction in a state where the first connector is below the second connector. The second connector includes a second contact, a second holding member and an operating portion. The operating portion is held by the second holding member so that a positional relation therebetween is kept when a force is applied to the operating portion along an upward direction and when a force is applied to the operating portion along a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the upward direction or a second horizontal direction opposite to the first horizontal direction. The second connector is removable from the first connector when a force is applied to the operating portion either along the upward direction or along the first or second horizontal direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventors: Takahiro Yamaji, Akira Kimura, Kazushi Kamata, Shuichi Ishida, Tomomi Sakata

Patent number: 7942698Abstract: A connector capable of maintaining contact reliability even with reduced arrangement pitch of contacts. First and second contacts are alternately arranged on a housing along contact arrangement direction orthogonal to direction of fitting the housing to a receptacle connector. A first contact portion, first bending portion, and first connecting portion connected to a coaxial cable, of each first contact are disposed on an upper surface, front portion and rear portion of the arranging portion, respectively. A linkage portion connecting the first bending and connecting portions, and a second contact portion continuous with a second connecting portion of each second contact are disposed on a lower surface of the arranging portion. A second bending portion disposed on the front portion is continuous with the second contact portion. The linkage portion is smaller in width in the arrangement direction than the first and second contact portions.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2010Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry LimitedInventors: Shingo Nanao, Yasufumi Yahiro, Masayuki Kikuchi, Keizo Kai, Kazushi Kamata

Patent number: 7824199Abstract: A connector is matable with a mating connector which has an engaged portion. The connector comprises a support portion and a lock member pivotally supported by the support portion. The lock member comprises a body portion, a lock portion, a spring portion and an operated portion. The body portion comprises a first predetermined portion which has a plate-like shape and is pivotally supported by the support portion. The lock portion is movable between a lock position and a release position in response to a pivotal movement of the body portion. The lock portion comprises an engaging portion engagable with the engaged portion. The engagement of the engaging portion with the engaged portion is locked when the lock portion is positioned at the lock position, while the engagement is released when the lock portion is positioned at the release position. The spring portion urges the lock portion to move toward the lock position.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2009Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventors: Masayuki Kikuchi, Kazushi Kamata
