  • Publication number: 20170310036
    Abstract: A power-source connector includes a power-source terminal and a housing that supports the power-source terminal. The housing includes at least two adjoining insertion ports, each partitioned by a partitioning member and through any of which an electrically conductive member is inserted, and a housing space, connected to the insertion ports. The power-source terminal includes a contact portion, disposed in the housing space and being contactable with the electrically conductive member inserted through any of the at least two adjoining insertion ports. The contact portion is disposed so as to extend across the at least two adjoining insertion ports.

  • Patent number: 9331408
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembled component includes a first connector to be disposed on a circuit board and including a receiving portion; and a second connected to be accommodated in the receiving portion. The receiving portion includes a cylindrical receiving portion and an open receiving portion. The open receiving portion includes a locking piece connected to the side plate portion. The locking piece includes a locking portion at a front edge thereof. The cylindrical receiving portion includes an elastic contact piece. The second connector includes an elastic locking arm extending from the flat plate portion. The elastic locking arm is situated inside the cylindrical receiving portion at a position different from that of the elastic contact piece in the width direction, and at a position overlapped with that of the elastic contact piece in a vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 7458822
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing having a first sidewall surface and a second sidewall surface extending in a first direction in parallel to each other with a first distance therebetween; a first terminal having a first contact portion protruding from the first sidewall surface in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; a second terminal having a second contact portion protruding from the second sidewall surface; and an extension portion having a first external wall surface and a second external wall surface. The extension portion is arranged so that a center point between the first external wall surface and the second external wall surface is shifted with respect to a center point between the first contact portion and the second contact portion. The first external wall surface extends in parallel to the second external wall surface with a second distance larger than the first distance.
