  • Patent number: 11967791
    Abstract: A coaxial connector includes a plug and a receptacle that are electrically connectable to each other. The plug includes a first contact, a holder, a first tubular shell, and a shield member. The receptacle includes a second contact, a case, and a second tubular shell. The second contact includes a bottom portion, a pair of standing portions, and an extension. The pair of standing portions include respective contact portions having a wide shape and can clamp an end portion of the first contact. The extension includes a tip portion that is to be fixed to a substrate, a hold that is held by the case, and an elastic portion that is elastically deformable. The elastic portion can undergo elastic deformation in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the contact portions extend.

  • Publication number: 20240106154
    Abstract: A connector module includes: a connector unit; and a case holding the connector unit. The connector unit includes: a shaft-shaped terminal made of an electrically conductive material; a cylindrical shell made of an electrically conductive material; and a holder made of an electrically insulative resin material and disposed around the shaft-shaped terminal. The case is made of an electrically conductive material and includes a wall with an insertion hole, and holding the connector unit through the insertion hole. The shell includes a plurality of radially outward protrusions at an outer surface. The protrusions are press-fitted through the insertion hole and in contact with the inner surface of the wall for electric connection between the shell to the case.

  • Patent number: 9048641
    Abstract: A terminal box includes a box body forming a recessed portion and a terminal board accommodated within the recessed portion and providing conduction between a tab of a solar cell panel and a power line. The terminal board includes a projecting portion projecting from the box body toward the solar cell panel, and a spring portion extended along a direction perpendicular to the projecting direction of the projecting portion. The projecting portion includes a contact portion for contacting the tab of the solar cell panel. The projecting portion is supported by a first-side end of the spring portion. The spring portion has a meander structure having a plurality of folded portions in a plane having a normal line perpendicular to both the projecting direction of the projecting portion and the extending direction of the spring portion.
