  • Patent number: 9270045
    Abstract: A connector comprises a housing and a plurality of contacts. Each of the contacts has one or more first sets and one or more second sets. The first set includes two first press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a first direction. The second set includes two second press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first press-fit portions and the second press-fit portions are press-fit in the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9252517
    Abstract: A connector is mateable with a mating connector comprising a mating contact. The connector comprises a contact which is brought into contact with the mating contact at two points under a mated state. The contact has a first spring portion, a protruding portion protruding from the first spring portion, a slide portion extending flat and a second spring portion. The protruding portion has a first contact portion while the slide portion has a second contact portion. The first contact portion is movable by first resilient deformation of the first spring portion while the second contact portion is movable by second resilient deformation of the second spring portion. One of the first contact portion and the second contact portion is moved because of both the first resilient deformation and the second resilient deformation when the connector is transited from a mating start state to the mated state.

  • Patent number: 9048601
    Abstract: A connector is mateable with a mating connector along a first direction. The mating connector has a mating contact portion. The connector comprises a housing and a contact. The housing has a holding portion and a stop portion. The contact has a held portion, a pressed portion and a contact point. The held portion is held by the holding portion. The pressed portion is provided between the held portion and the contact point. The contact point is located between the held portion and the pressed portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The contact point is brought into contact with the mating contact portion and moved in the second direction under a mated state of the connector with the mating connector. The pressed portion is pressed against the stop portion when the contact point is brought into contact with the mating contact portion.
