Abstract: An electrical connector for circuit boards includes: a terminal including a connecting portion for connection to a circuit board, the connecting portion being disposed on one end of the terminal, and a contact portion for contact with a counterpart connector element, the contact portion being disposed on the other end of the terminal; and a housing retaining the terminal and including a stationary housing for mounting to the circuit board through the terminal and a movable housing movable relative to the stationary housing and receiving the contact portion of the terminal. The terminal includes a stationary-side retained portion retained by the stationary housing, a movable-side retained portion retained by the movable housing, an elastic portion located between the stationary-side retained portion and the movable-side retained portion and elastically deformable, and a relay portion constituting a signal transmission path shorter than a total length of the elastic portion.

Abstract: A housing of an electrically insulating material, signal terminals and non-signal terminals used as at least one of ground terminals and power supply terminals which are made of a metallic material and retained within the housing, and reinforcing fittings attached to the housing, wherein the non-signal terminals are located outside the array range of the signal terminals, the reinforcing fittings are located adjacent to the non-signal terminals, the non-signal terminals have connecting legs for connection to a circuit board, the reinforcing fittings have attachment legs for attachment to the circuit board P, and the connecting legs of the non-signal terminals and the attachment legs of the reinforcing fittings are located adjacent to each other in the array direction of the signal terminals within a single through-hole provided in a common land formed on the circuit board and can be solder-connected to said land.

Abstract: An electrical connector for circuit boards whose multiple terminals include signal terminals 40 and power supply terminals 50, said power supply terminals 50 having retained portions 52 retained in place by the lateral walls 21 of the housing 20, and said retained portions 52 being retained in place via press-fitting by the lateral walls 21 at both lateral edges in the terminal-width direction perpendicular to the through-thickness direction of said retained portions 52, wherein the lateral walls 21 have stepped engaged portions 21C in locations corresponding to the retained portions 52 of the power supply terminals 50, and the retained portions, 52, of the power supply terminals 50 have engaging portions 52B capable of engaging the engaged portions 21C in the heightwise direction of the connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector for circuit boards whose terminals 70 have a first abutment portion 72 which, within a terminal retaining portion 63A, is located closer to one interior wall surface of the above mentioned terminal retaining portion 63A opposed to one major face of said retained portion 71 than to said one major face and which is abuttable against said one interior wall surface, and a second abutment portion 73, which is located closer to the other interior wall surface of the terminal retaining portion 63A opposed to the other major face of the above mentioned retained portion 71 than to said other major face and which is abuttable against said other interior wall surface.

Abstract: An electrical connector for circuit boards whose terminals 40 have stationary-side retained portions 42 retained in place in the stationary housing 20, movable-side retained portions 44 retained in place in the movable housing 30, and resilient portions 45 provided between said stationary-side retained portions 42 and said movable-side retained portions 44, and the resilient portions 45 have curved portions 45A, 45B curved such that they have sections positioned overlappingly in the heightwise direction of the connector perpendicular to the mounting face of the circuit board in a section of the resilient portions 45 in the longitudinal direction of the terminals 40.
