  • Patent number: 9214744
    Abstract: A connector device includes a plurality of board mounted connectors and mating side connectors to be fitted with each other and a guiding hood. Levers are rotatably attached to the mating side connectors. A guiding hood includes a plurality of connector fitting parts which guide an insertion of the mating side connectors corresponding to the board mounted connectors, and is attached to the opening part of the housing case. The board mounted connectors and the mating side connectors are configured to be fitted with each other by rotating the levers which are engaged to the connector fitting parts. The guiding hood includes locking means configured to be locked and engaged to the board mounted connectors respectively by being elastically engaged with engaging parts of the board mounted connectors respectively in a direction in which the board mounted connectors are arranged.

  • Patent number: 9161463
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic component which maintains good connection between a circuit board and connection terminals and provides size reduction. The electronic component includes a circuit board, a pair of connection terminals, and a housing with the pair of connection terminals mounted thereon. The circuit board is provided with a plurality of terminal sections connected to the connection terminals. Each connection terminal is provided with a spring member formed to be elastically deformable and which sandwich the terminal sections between them. A rib is provided in the housing, wherein the rib is provided between through-holes through which each of the pair of connection terminals pass, and whereby the rib is formed in convex shape, towards the circuit board and away from a bottom section of a substrate housing section in which the circuit board is housed, and the rib penetrates a plurality of terminal sections.

  • Publication number: 20150255908
    Abstract: A connector for an electronic device is provided. The connector includes a connector housing to be connected to the electronic device, a terminal fitting held by the connector housing, and a relay terminal to be held between a distal end of the terminal fitting and the contact portion of the electronic device when the connector housing is connected to the electronic device. The relay terminal includes an electrically-insulating member and an electrically-conductive portion. The electrically-conductive portion includes a conductor provided on the electrically-insulating member to electrically couple a contact portion of the electronic device and the terminal fitting to each other. The conductor extends in a direction intersecting a center axis of the connector in a state in which the conductor is in contact with at least one of the contact portion of the electronic device and the terminal fitting.

  • Patent number: 8942007
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a circuit element, a circuit board that is connected to the circuit element, and a connection terminal that is connected to the circuit board. The connection terminal includes a main body, a spring member that is formed so as to be elastically deformable in two directions including a direction of moving closer to the circuit board disposed on the main body and a direction of moving away from the circuit board, and a pair of arm portions that is extended from the main body so as to position the spring member therebetween. The pair of arm portions passes through the circuit board, ends of the respective arm portions far from the main body are bent toward the spring member, and the circuit board is held between the ends and the spring member.
