Abstract: A connector is provided with a connector main body having conductive contacts and a housing holding the conductive contacts. The conductive contacts are exposed from the housing so as to be electrically connectable to a mating connector in a distal end portion of the connector main body and are exposed from the housing so as to be electrically connectable to a substrate in a rear end portion of the connector main body. The housing has positioning portions positioning the connector main body and the substrate relative to each other. The positioning portions are located closer to a center line of the connector main body than the conductive contacts when the connector main body is viewed in plan. The center line extends along a direction from the distal end portion of the connector main body toward the rear end portion.

Abstract: A connector device includes a first connector and a second connector. A first regulating member attached to the first insulating housing of the first connector and a second regulating member attached to the second insulating housing of the second connector include projecting portions, respectively. A first projecting portion of either one of the first and second regulating members provides a second projecting portion of the other regulating member with a first elastic force acting in a first direction in which the first and second insulating housings separate from each other. Additionally, the first projecting portion provides the second projecting portion with a second elastic force acting in a second direction in which the first and second insulating housings move toward each other. The regulating members also form latch members that act to separate the connectors towards a placed or initial state (e.g., FIGS.

Apart from which the plug-side mating guide member projects from the wiring substrate is directly or indirectly checked visually. As a result, the mating operation can be carried out while approximating the mutual mating positional relation of both of the electric connectors, and the mating positional relation is regulated to a predetermined state by guiding actions of the guide surfaces of the plug-side mating guide member so that the mutual mating operation of the electric connectors is easily and precisely carried out.

Abstract: With a simple configuration, plastic deformation of contacts can be prevented while avoiding increase in size, and occurrence of failure in electrical connection due to dust can be well prevented. In an elastic beam-like member of a first-side contact extending like a cantilever in an insulating housing, a bent extending part which substantially increases the span length of the elastic beam-like member is formed to be bent to have a curved shape at a root part serving as a part coupled to a fixing base part. A through hole is formed in a region including at least part of the bent extending part to ensure flexibility while enhancing elasticity of the contact, thereby preventing permanent deformation of the contact. Meanwhile, dust which has entered the equipment is caused to fall through the through hole, thereby ensuring electrical conductivity well.
