  • Publication number: 20090190300
    Abstract: A module is inserted from an aperture of a parts support apparatus into a part support hole, and further pushed into a cavity innermost the part support hole until a insertion side end portion is engaged in the cavity. After the module is engaged into the part support hole, an effect of force of dropping off upward the module from contact points inside on upper and lower surfaces is suppressed by the cavity, and the module can be supported by the parts support apparatus only. After the attachment of the module, a projection unit provided on the lower surface of a housing of a body device lowers with the housing, touches an end surface opposite the insertion side of the module to protect the module from dropping off the cavity in the horizontal direction.

  • Patent number: 6866549
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector assembly capable of achieving a high-precision fit starting with fairly rough positioning, the assembly consisting of a first connector which is equipped with multiple substrates secured in an array and a second connector which is equipped with female terminals and mates with the first connector. The electrical connector has a rough guide mechanism (first guides and second guides as well as first complementary guides and second complementary guides) which guides a mating between the first connector and the second connector relatively roughly at an initial stage of mating, and a precision guide mechanism (chamfers on substrates and corresponding tapers on a housing of the second connector) which guides the mating between the first connector and the second connector relatively precisely at an advanced stage of mating.

  • Publication number: 20040185715
    Abstract: The present invention is an electrical connector, having multiple terminals equipped with compliant sections to be inserted into through-holes in a main board; multiple sub-boards equipped with lands connected to the terminals and a contact section to be connected to a mating connector. The lands consist of a conductor formed on an insulator and a housing used to secure the multiple sub-boards in an array, wherein owing to a conductor which extends close to the terminal-side edge of the insulator, the lands prevent the sub-boards from being buckled by being bitten by the terminals when the compliant sections are inserted into the through-holes in the main board.

  • Patent number: 6428329
    Abstract: An interposition structure interposed between substrates and capable of guiding the insertion of a connection pin for electrically connecting the substrates to each other, whereby the connection pin can be inserted properly even in cases where the substrates to be connected or other members have a dimensional error caused during production thereof, a positioning error or the like. The interposition structure has an interposition body in which a through hole is formed such that connection pin inlet and outlet portions thereof each have an inner diameter gradually increasing in a direction from the inner part to the corresponding outer open end thereof, and also has a positioning protuberance provided on the underside of the interposition body.

  • Patent number: 5080613
    Abstract: A combination of a plug assembly to be attached to a printed wiring board, and a receptacle assembly to be attached to a shelf back-board. The plug assembly comprises a set of plug contacts mounted to a plug housing. The receptacle assembly comprises a receptacle housing capable of mating engagement with the plug housing, and a set of resilient, bladelike receptacle contacts mounted to the receptacle housing. Each bladelike receptacle contact has two protuberances formed in longitudinally spaced positions thereon. Each receptacle contact is so made that only one of the two protuberances thereon is normally held against one associated plug contact upon interfitting engagement of the receptacle housing with the plug housing. At least selected one of the receptacle contacts butts on a projection on the receptacle housing and is thereby resiliently displaced in such a direction that the two protuberances on the displaced receptacle contact are both held against one associated plug contact.
