  • Patent number: 11901658
    Abstract: 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. In an engagement state of the electric connector set, the first mounting portions oppose the second mounting portions and overlap the second mounting portions as viewed in the insertion-withdrawal direction.

  • Publication number: 20220094113
    Abstract: 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.
