Abstract: An electrical connector 10 consists of an insulating housing 20 having cavities 21 into which contacts 50 are inserted and secured by press fit engagement. Contacts 50 are fabricated from a metal sheet material by punch cutting and comprise two pairs of female-type contacting sections 60, 70 with a base section 80 located between them that is pressed in the inner side walls of the cavities 21.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrical connector that is relatively compact, and in which there is no danger that wire-connecting sections will be deformed during soldering of conductors thereto. The electrical connector has an insulating housing (30) to which a plurality of contacts (20) are fastened by press-fitting, and a support member (60), that is latchably attached to a cable face (32) of the insulating housing (30). Wire-connecting sections (22) of the contacts (20) protrude in two rows from the cable face (32) of the housing (30); these wire-connecting sections (22) are supported by the support member (60), and are disposed so that access for the purpose of making soldered connections is possible from above and below. The support member (60) has an inter-row partition wall (63) and intra-row partition walls (64) that form insulating-partition walls between the wire-connecting sections (22) of the contacts (20).

Abstract: An edge connector for a plurality of daughter boards has a plurality of adjacent board-receiving openings which are configured to receive the daughter boards first in a common linear insertion direction at respective upstream positions and then in a common pivoting insertion direction to respective downstream positions. A plurality of latch members are operable to retain the daughter boards in their respective downstream positions. The latch members are also releasable to allow reverse pivoting of the daughter boards. The latch members are configured so that releasing the latch members associated with a relatively downstream one of the openings operates to release the latch members associated with relatively upstream ones of the openings, thereby preventing collisions between adjacent ones of the daughter boards.
