Patent number: 11515673Abstract: Provided is a connector module that is highly durable and that also allows easy position alignment with a connection target instrument while maintaining high shielding performance. The connector module includes a connector case and a connector inserted in the connector case. The connector includes a contact, a holder, a conductive tubular shell, a housing and a conductive shield case. The shield case includes a first member having an elastic portion and a second member in the form of a bottomed tube. The first member forms an elastic piece contactable with the second member. Fixing of the connector case to a main body case via a fastener member causes, in the connector, elastic deformation of the elastic piece, resulting in decrease in a gap between the first member and the second member, consequently in establishment of electrical connection between the first member and the second member.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Hosiden CorporationInventor: Ryuhei Kato

Publication number: 20170025733Abstract: A flexible wiring board including a base, at least one cover, a signal conductor, and a ground conductor. The base is an elongate flexible dielectric including first and second lengthwise portions. The first portion has opposed faces in the thickness direction. The cover, dielectric being lower in permittivity than the base, is fixedly cover at least one of the faces. The signal and ground conductors at the base extend in parallel with and in spaced relation to each other. The conductors each include a first portion covered by the cover and a second portion not covered by the cover. A part of the second portion of the ground conductor situated in a second region of the second portion of the base is smaller in area than a part of the first portion of the ground conductor situated in a first region of the first portion of the base, the first region being equal in area to the second region.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: HOSIDEN CORPORATIONInventors: Ryuhei KATO, Hayato KONDO

Publication number: 20150295347Abstract: [Purpose] The invention provides a connector capable of suppressing plastic deformation of a contact portion of a contact and also provides an electronic device provided with the connector. [Configuration] A connector C includes a first contact 200a, a second contact 200b in spaced relation to the first contact 200a along a first direction X, and a first stop 300a having an insulation property. The first contact 200a includes a contact portion 220a that is elastically deformable toward the second contact 200b. The first stop 300a is disposed between the first and second contacts 200a, 200b and on an elastic deformation direction side of the contact portion 220a so as to be abuttable on the contact portion 220a.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2013Publication date: October 15, 2015Applicant: Hosiden CorporationInventors: Takayuki Nagata, Ryuhei Kato, Yutaka Uno

Patent number: 7341477Abstract: A connector for a flexible substrate of the present invention includes a housing having a board insertion port for receiving a flexible substrate, contacts of first and second types provided in parallel with each other inside the housing and supported pivotally and rotatably on an upper side of the housing and provided with cam portions, the cam portions being adapted to directly or indirectly press the contacts for bringing the contacts into pressure contact with the electrodes of the flexible substrate when the actuator is rotated to be put into a closed state. The contacts of the first and second types each has a base portion attachable to a back portion of the board insertion port of the housing, and an arm portion having a substantially U-shaped side view, being supported in midair by the base portion and being adapted to support an end portion of the flexible substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Hosiden CorporationInventor: Ryuhei Kato

Patent number: 7291040Abstract: An actuator is rotatably combined with a body configured so that the end of the flexible substrate is inserted from the front surface side. The body holds a plurality of contacts arranged in paralleland contacting the terminals on the end of the inserted substrate. The actuator includes a plurality of cams corresponding to the plurality of contacts within the body, and presses the end of the inserted substrate with the plurality of cams when turned from the opened state to the closed state. Each of the contacts includes a contacting point part for pressure contacting the terminal on the end of the substrate and a hook of hook shape for engaging and holding the shaft formed in the actuator, and also includes a cover for covering the rear surface side of the body when turned to the closed state.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Hosiden CorporationInventor: Ryuhei Kato
