  • Patent number: 11735851
    Abstract: A connector (1) according to the present disclosure includes a holder (10) holding a cable (30) including a conductor (31) and an insulating coat (32) covering the conductor (31), and a socket (20) with which the holder (10) is to be engaged and including a contact (22). The holder (10) includes a base portion (11) holding the cable (30) by being integrally molded with the cable (30) and in which a portion of each of the insulating coat (32) and the conductor (31) of the cable (30) is embedded, and an extension portion (12) covering at least a portion of the conductor (31) and extending from the base portion (11) toward a side of connect with the socket (20). The holder (10) exposes a part of the conductor (31) of the cable (30) in contact with the contact (22) in an engaged state in which the holder (10) and the socket (20) are engaged with each other.

  • Patent number: 10594084
    Abstract: A connector that, when changing an actuator from an open state to a closed state provides a sound that indicates the actuator has changed to a fully closed state. In one embodiment, the actuator has an open surface, a closed surface, a sloped connection surface, and a tip load transmission portion. The open surface enables insertion of a connection object into an insertion portion in an open state. The closed surface is approximately parallel to the connection object in a closed state. The sloped connection surface connects the open surface and the closed surface. The tip load transmission portion is located at an intersection of the closed surface and the sloped connection surface, and elastically contacts the connection object at a time at which a pressing load imparted by an elastic pressing portion is at a peak.

  • Publication number: 20180323546
    Abstract: A connector that, when changing an actuator from an open state to a closed state, allows for easy aural recognition that the actuator has changed to a fully closed state, and also has improved actuator operability is provided. An actuator (50) has an open surface (56O), a closed surface (56C), a sloped connection surface (56S), and a tip load transmission portion (56L). The open surface (56O) enables insertion of a connection object (20) into an insertion portion (31) in an open state. The closed surface (56C) is approximately parallel to the connection object (20) in a closed state. The sloped connection surface (56S) connects the open surface (56O) and the closed surface (56C). The tip load transmission portion (56L) is located at an intersection of the closed surface (56C) and the sloped connection surface (56S), and elastically contacts the connection object (20) at a time at which a pressing load imparted by an elastic pressing portion (43a) is at a peak.
