Abstract: A receptacle of an electrical-optical hybrid connector including a plug having an insertion fitting part and the receptacle having a housing space that receives the insertion fitting part includes an optical connection part disposed in a space in communication with the housing space, and an electrical connection part disposed in front of the optical connection part, a shutter that is opened when the receptacle and the plug are connected to each other is provided in front of the optical connection part of the receptacle, and the optical connection part of the receptacle moves forward in association with the shutter when the shutter is opened, and moves rearward in association with the shutter when the shutter is closed.

Abstract: In an optoelectrical connector that is composed of a plug including an insertion fitting part and a receptacle including a housing space into which the insertion fitting part of the plug is inserted, the plug is provided with an optical connection part on a front end of the insertion fitting part and an electric connection part more rearward than the optical connection part. The receptacle is provided with an optical connection part on the deep side of the housing space and an electric connection part more frontward than the optical connection part. A shutter is formed on the immediate front of the optical connection part of the receptacle and the shutter opens in the optical connection. Deterioration of optical coupling efficiency caused by attachment of metal abrasion powder, which is generated in a slide between the electrical connection parts in the electrical connection, to the optical connection parts, is prevented.

Abstract: In an optoelectrical connector that is composed of a plug including an insertion fitting part and a receptacle including a housing space into which the insertion fitting part of the plug is inserted, the plug is provided with an optical connection part (an optical member) on a front end of the insertion fitting part and an electric connection part (terminals) more rearward than the optical connection part. The receptacle is provided with an optical connection part (an optical member) on the deep side of the housing space and an electric connection part (movable contact pieces of terminals) more frontward than the optical connection part. A shutter is formed on the immediate front of the optical connection part of the receptacle and the shutter opens in the optical connection.

Abstract: An accelerometer is composed of a pair of housings each of which forms a magnetic structure together with a permanent magnet and a flapper flexurally supported by hinge portions between the magnetic structures. The permanent magnet is secured to the housing of the magnetic structure by means of a spacer so as to prevent a harmful thermal stress which will be caused by the difference of thermal expansion between the magnet and the housing. A bobbin with a torquer coil is secured to the flapper by means of a base member to take no effect of thermal stress which will be caused by the difference between the materials of the bobbin and the flapper. The above elements are housed in a case which is installed in an instrument board so as to be unaffected by changes in temperature in surroundings of the accelerometer.
