  • Patent number: 11251564
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector connectable to each other. The first connector comprises first terminals each having a first contact portion, a first shell having a first mating portion and a first engagement member formed with an engagement recess. The second connector comprises second terminals each having a second contact portion, a second shell having a second mating portion and a second engagement member having an engagement projection. Under a connected state where the first connector and the second connector are connected to each other, the first mating portion and the second mating portion entirely enclose contact areas in a perpendicular plane (YZ-plane) at which the first contact portions are in contact with the second contact portions. Under the connected state, the engagement projection and the engagement recess are engaged with each other to lock the connected state.

  • Patent number: 8936476
    Abstract: Provided is a connector lockable a connection with the connection object securely. The connector comprises a housing, an attachment, and a lock portion. The connection object which has a locked portion is inserted to and connected with the connector from the front of the connector. The attachment is attached to the housing and comprises an upper attachment positioned higher than the housing, a lower attachment positioned lower than the housing, and a coupling portion coupling the upper attachment and the lower attachment. The lock portion comprises a locking lug positioned backward of the coupling portion and engaging with the locked portion of the connection object when the connection object connected with the connector is moved in an eject direction opposite to the insertion direction, and a spring portion positioned between the upper attachment and the lower attachment and supporting the locking lug so as to be displaceable in a vertical direction perpendicular to the insertion direction.

  • Patent number: 8876544
    Abstract: A connector can prevent a short circuit between a conductive member positioned on a board and an actuation lever actuatable without an actuation tag. A distance between the board and an actuation portion is larger than another distance between the board and an engage portion under a locked state where the engage portion is engaged with an engaged portion. Under the locked state, the actuation portion is positioned away from the conductive member (a SMT terminal and the conductive pattern formed on the board) so that the actuation lever can be prevented from making the short circuit with the conductive member.

  • Patent number: 8721366
    Abstract: A connector is mountable on a circuit board and matable with a mating connector having a mating portion and a mating shell. The connector comprises a housing and a shell. The housing is formed with a receiving portion. The receiving portion is receives the mating portion of the mating connector when the mating portion is inserted into the connector. The shell has a plurality of first connected portions and a plurality of second connected portions. The first connected portions are configured to be connected to the mating shell of the mating connector when the connector and the mating connector are mated with each other. The second connected portions are configured to be connected to the circuit board when the connector is mounted on the circuit board. The first connected portions and the second connected portions extend forward of the receiving portion.

  • Publication number: 20130260601
    Abstract: The present invention provides a connector 100 which can prevent a short circuit between the actuation lever 160 and a conductive member positioned on a board 50, and has an actuation lever 160 actuatable without an actuation tag. A distance between the board 50 and an actuation portion 172 is larger than another distance between the board 50 and an engage portion 170 under a locked state where the engage portion 170 is engaged with an engaged portion 202. Under the locked state, the actuation portion 172 is positioned away from the conductive member (a SMT terminal 212 and the conductive pattern formed on the board 50) so that the actuation lever 160 can be prevented from making the short circuit with the conductive member.

  • Patent number: 8523603
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector. The second connector is engageable with the first connector along a downward direction in a state where the first connector is below the second connector. The second connector includes a second contact, a second holding member and an operating portion. The operating portion is held by the second holding member so that a positional relation therebetween is kept when a force is applied to the operating portion along an upward direction and when a force is applied to the operating portion along a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the upward direction or a second horizontal direction opposite to the first horizontal direction. The second connector is removable from the first connector when a force is applied to the operating portion either along the upward direction or along the first or second horizontal direction.
