Publication number: 20060141852Abstract: A connector is disclosed. A plate contact member is fixed to a housing of the connector. The contact member includes an FFC connection contact section. The FFC connection contact section is formed in a U-shape, and includes a base section on which a triangular projection is formed. An FFC is held between the base section and a slider fitted in the housing. The projection pierces a covering of the FFC to come into contact with a wire of the FFC. Thus, the FFC is electrically and mechanically connected to the connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2005Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: FUJITSU COMPONENT LIMITEDInventors: Koki Sato, Atsushi Sakurai, Manabu Shimizu, Hideo Miyazawa

Patent number: 7004775Abstract: First and second signal contact members and ground contact members are arranged in parallel in an electrical insulating block body. Each of the contact members has an FPC holding section. The FPC holding section comprises a first contact arm, a locking section projecting from a proximal end of the first contact arm in a Z2 direction, an L-shaped base arm, a narrow section, a second contact arm, and a push section extending from a proximal end of the second contact arm in a Z1 direction. When the push section is pushed by an end of an FPC, the narrow section is bent so that the second contact arm is moved closer to the first contact arm. The push section is locked by the locking section so that the FPC is held and fixed between the first contact arm and the second contact arm.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2005Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu Component LimitedInventors: Atsushi Sakurai, Manabu Shimizu, Koki Sato

Patent number: 6981898Abstract: A connector includes multiple pairs of signal contacts arranged in a housing, and facilitates the wiring design and the wiring operation for substrates. The two signal contacts in each of the multiple pairs are arranged at a distance in the longitudinal direction of the housing. With this arrangement, excellent coupling can be established between the two signal contacts, and signals can be balanced-transmitted without causing a phase difference. Also, the lengths of each pair of wires of a wiring substrate to be connected to the multiple pairs of signal contacts can be easily made uniform. Accordingly, there is no need to prepare excessive wiring areas, and the substrate wiring design and the wiring operation can be simplified.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2003Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu Component LimitedInventors: Junichi Akama, Masahiro Hamazaki, Tadashi Kumamoto, Manabu Shimizu, Hideo Miyazawa, Fumio Kurotori, Moriyuki Ueno
