Abstract: An electric connector to be attached to a plate-like connection member having an edge portion, a plurality of insertion convex portions formed sideways at the edge portion, and a conductive portion formed on at least one of the front surface and the back surface of each insertion convex portion includes an insulating housing and a contact forming member made of a metal and held in the housing. The contact forming member includes a box-like portion having four walls and a connection member connecting contact extended from at least one of the walls of the box-like portion. The four walls define an insertion concave portion into which the insertion convex portion corresponding thereto is inserted along a predetermined insertion direction. The connection member connecting contact includes a contact portion that makes contact with the conductive portion of the corresponding insertion convex portion inserted into the insertion concave portion.

Abstract: A composite contact includes a main body part, a first elastic piece which extends from the main body part and elastically contacts with a terminal disposed at an end part of a fluorescent tube and a second elastic piece which extends from the main body part and aims at elastically contacts with a conductive pattern which is formed on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of a circuit board, and the main body part, the first elastic piece and the second elastic piece are formed as one integrated part by a single member.

Abstract: A composite electric connector is provided with a plurality of electric connectors and a holder which holds the electric connectors in such a manner that the electric connectors are lined up side by side along an aligning direction. Each electric connector includes a housing and a fluorescent tube connecting contact which is held by the housing and connects a terminal disposed on an end part of a corresponding fluorescent tube.

Abstract: A portion of a casing having insulating performance is covered by a shell made of metal for electromagnetic shielding. A reinforcement tab formed separately from the shell includes a leg portion to be soldered above a printed wiring board. The reinforcement tab and the shell are engaged with each other via an engaging projection. The reinforcement tab is constituted by coating a surface of a pressed product with a conductive plated coating. A rupture face of the reinforcement tab is not exposed.

Abstract: A plurality of contact pins are arranged in an insertion recessed portion of a casing to align horizontally. The contact pin includes a fixed portion fixed to a fixing hole of a side wall and an elastic contact portion extended from a front end of the fixed portion in a rear direction in an inclined shape. In connecting a modular plug, a front end of the elastic contact portion is projected to the outside of the casing via a slit and invades inside of a through hole of a printed wiring board.

Abstract: A casing includes an insertion recessed portion opened in a front direction via an insertion opening. A shell made of metal for electromagnetic shielding includes a front plate for covering a front face of the casing and side walls extended therefrom. In a state that a modular jack is attached to an apparatus, a portion of the shell exposed to an outer side of a cabinet of the apparatus is covered by an insulating cover. An insertion opening of a front plate of the insulating cover is smaller than an opening of the front plate of the shell.
