Patent number: 11901658Abstract: An electric connector set having an impedance adjustment function and a mounting structure, and including a first connector that mounts onto a first circuit board, and a second connector that mounts onto a second circuit to be insertable into and withdrawable from the first connector in an insertion-withdrawal direction. The first connector includes a first connection terminal having first mounting portions to mount onto first land portions on the first circuit board and a first insulating member that holds the first connection terminal. The second connector includes a second connection terminal having second mounting portions to mount onto second land portions on the second circuit board and a second insulating member that holds the second connection terminal.

Publication number: 20220094113Abstract: A multipolar connector includes a first signal terminal, a first ground terminal, an insulating member that holds the first signal and ground terminals, and an external terminal along a periphery of the insulating member. The first signal and ground terminals are arranged side by side in a direction parallel to an X-axis, extend in a direction parallel to a Y-axis orthogonal to the X-axis, and each have a first end serving as a mount portion that connects to and mounts on a mount electrode on a circuit board. When viewed in a direction parallel to a Z-axis orthogonal to the directions parallel to the X and Y axes, a mount portion of the first signal terminal is within a layout area of the external terminal. When viewed in the direction parallel to the Z-axis, a mount portion of the first ground terminal is outward from the mount portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Minoru MAMURO
