  • Patent number: 11469558
    Abstract: A connector is mateable with a mating connector along a front-rear direction. The connector comprises a first sub connector and a second sub connector. The first sub connector and the second sub connector are mateable with each other in a direction intersecting with the front-rear direction. The first sub connector comprises a first holding member and a plurality of first terminals. The second sub connector comprises a second holding member and a plurality of second terminals. The second terminals are arranged in two rows. Each of the second terminals has a second contact point and an SMT portion. The SMT portion is configured to be fixed on a circuit board. The SMT portion of the second terminal of one of the two rows extends in an orientation opposite to an orientation in which the SMT portion of the second terminal of a remaining one of the two rows extends.

  • Publication number: 20210313734
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a housing, a terminal component, and a waterproofing member. The housing is located a hole penetrating from an inner wall surface of the housing through an outer wall surface of the housing. The terminal component includes a contact that comes into electrical contact with a plug connector connected from outside the housing, and a stepped portion engaged in the inner wall surface from inside the housing. The terminal component is inserted in the hole. The waterproofing member is disposed in at least one of a first space and a second space. The first space is located between the inner wall surface and the stepped portion. The second space is located between an edge of the hole of the housing and an inserted portion of the terminal component, the inserted portion being inserted in the hole.

  • Patent number: 7565186
    Abstract: An outer display is provided in an area exposed to the outside, of a first movable part in a closed condition where the first and second movable parts are opposed to each other. An outer operation section is provided in an area other than the exposed area of the first and second movable parts whichever comes behind the outer display in a closed condition where the first and second movable parts are opposed to each other. The operator can enter predetermined information on a predetermined display content displayed on the outer display. Even in a condition where the first and second movable parts fold closed, the operator can enter predetermined information from the outer operation section while watching the outer display, which enhances the operability.

  • 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.
