Abstract: A multicore cable includes a plurality of cables in parallel and is formed by fusion-welding the plurality of cables with a resin jacket. Each of the plurality of cables is formed by winding a shield around a signaling core wire, which is covered with an insulating material, and a grounding core wire. The resin jacket and the shield are stripped so that a stair portion is formed. The stair portion is coated with an electrically conductive adhesive. A vibration is exerted on the grounding core wire, thereby connecting the shield with the grounding core wire with the electrically conductive adhesive. Eventually, the shield and the grounding core wire are bonded with the electrically conductive adhesive. This allows an electrical connection between the shield and the grounding core wire to be maintained in a desirable condition, thus making it possible to suppress a characteristic impedance variation of the signaling core wire caused by an external factor.

The multi-pin connector can be manufactured in a short period of time and can have any pitch, any number of pins and any shape.

Abstract: A multi-pin connector for mounting other boards or electronic parts on a main board, has contact pins fixedly soldered into bottomed connection holes which are in desired positions on the main board, so that the contact pins are secured separately and arrayed in a desired form without a housing. The contact pins have contact portions and pin portions, with the pin portions being secured in the connection holes.

Abstract: An electronic part, particularly a microstructure contact having an overall length of the order of 5 mm for an electrical connector or the like is provided with a nickel oxide layer portion having a nickel oxide layer of the order of 50 to 5000 .ANG. in thickness formed by anode oxidizing process using a solution mainly consisting of an alkaline solution. The nickel oxide layer portion is located between a terminal portion of the electronic part to be soldered as in a surface mounting process and a contact portion continuous to and extending from the terminal portion. The nickel oxide layer has a width of the order of 0.2 to 1 mm in the longitudinal direction of the contact and has a performance preventing the flowing of molten solder, thereby effectively preventing the flowing and wicking due to wetting of solder of the solder-plated portion toward the other portions as in the surface mounting process.

Abstract: A pin contact of a connector includes a parallel portion which touches a contact portion of a contact spring portion of a socket contact when the pin contact is fitted into the socket contact, and an inclined portion to be inserted into the contact spring portion while forcibly opening the contact spring portion at the time of insertion. The inclined portion has a shape which is a combination of a curve portion and a linear portion, the curve portion being moderate in inclination in the area of a boundary point between the curve portion and the parallel portion while sharp in inclination in the area of a contact start point at a pointed end of the contact pin contact. The linear portion has a constant inclination angle.

Abstract: Ends of contact pins are inserted into bottomed connection holes which are in desired positions on a printed board, so that the contact pins are arrayed in the desired form. By effecting solder reflow in this state, the contact pins are fixedly soldered to the connection holes. A multi-pin connector is thus provided, which can be manufactured with ease in a short period of time and which can have any pitch, any number of pins and any shape.

Abstract: A print substrate connector having a main body comprising a pair of supporting portions. A lock arm 26 is provided on a sidewall of a substrate mounting groove 22 formed in the main body of the substrate connector, into which groove 22 a terminal connecting portion 30 of the print substrate 29 is inserted. The part of the sidewall of the substrate mounting groove 22, on which part the lock arm 26 is placed, faces a vacant portion at the sides of the terminal connecting portion 30 of the print substrate 29, on which vacant portion no element is mounted. In operation or when the print substrate 29 is inserted into the mounting groove 22 of the main body, a locking claw 28 formed on the lock arm 26 is adapted to engage with a locking hole 32 formed on the vacant portion of the print conveniently used as a locking means of the substrate without a bad influence on a high density mounting of elements mounted on the substrate.

Abstract: A vibration damping system of an automotive vehicle consists of a radiator which is fluidly connected through flexible radiator hoses to an engine and elastically supported through elastic members to a vehicle body. The radiator hoses are fixed at the vicinity of an end section thereof to the vehicle body in such a manner that the radiator has a pitching natural frequency separate from a bouncing natural frequency. Additionally, the elastic members are so constructed and arranged to allow the bouncing natural frequency of the radiator to be separate from the vehicle body flexural vibration resonance frequency and from the resonance frequency of a steering column, thereby effectively damping low frequency vibration of the vehicle.
