Patent number: 9606352Abstract: A camera module is provided which has a simple structure, can be easily assembled, can avoid the adverse effects of dust on imaging, and can promote heat dissipation of an imaging device. In a camera module, which includes a lens unit that has a cylindrical thread portion, a flat plate-shaped imaging device that is mounted on a printed wiring board, and a holder that holds the lens unit and the printed wiring board with maintaining the predetermined positional relationship therebetween, an imaging field of the imaging device is disposed in a space tightly closed by a first spacer that is made into a ring shape made of an elastic material the surface of which is an adhesive surface, and the adhesive surface is exposed at least in an inner peripheral wall of the first spacer. The first spacer may be made of a material that further has favorable thermal conductivity.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: SMK CorporationInventors: Masayoshi Kashima, Nobuyuki Mano, Taku Akaiwa

Patent number: 9509105Abstract: A receptacle, fixed to a first case, has a central conductor portion, an outer conductor portion that concentrically surrounds the central conductor portion, and a receptacle-side convex portion that extends in a connector circumferential direction and is formed on a top end portion of the outer conductor portion. A plug, fixed to a second case, has a plurality of inner contact pieces that make contact with an outer peripheral surface of the central conductor portion with fitting into the receptacle, a plurality of outer contact pieces that extend in a connector axial direction on an outer peripheral surface of the outer conductor portion with intervals therebetween, and plug-side convex portions that are freely displaceable in the connector axial direction in a state of being in surface contact with the outer peripheral surface of the outer conductor portion and are formed on the outer contact pieces of the plug.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: SMK CORPORATIONInventors: Hironori Kunieda, Ryo Sasaki, Ryutaro Takano, Taku Akaiwa, Wataru Iwasaki, Masayoshi Kashima

Publication number: 20150327377Abstract: An imaging device includes: an electronic circuit unit that includes an imaging element and a first connection terminal; a case that accommodates the electronic circuit unit and has an opening so as to expose the first connection terminal therefrom; a lid-shaped body that causes a second connection terminal to be connected to the first connection terminal when the lid-shaped body abuts against the case. The lid-shaped body is loose-fitted in a moveable manner with respect to the case in a direction of an abutting surface that is substantially orthogonal to center axes of the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal. The lid-shaped body is fixed at an arbitrary position within a movable range with respect to the case in the abutting surface direction in a state in which the center axes of the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are substantially aligned with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Nobyuki MANO, Taku AKAIWA

Patent number: 7997939Abstract: A plug includes a plug housing and a metal terminal group. The metal terminal group includes a mating electrode group on the first end side thereof and a connection electrode group on the second end side, the mating electrode group including mating electrode sections that are disposed with an insulating resin interposed therebetween and are to be in contact with the contacts of a mating jack, the connection electrode group including connection electrode sections that are disposed with an insulating resin interposed therebetween and are connected to the electrodes of a connection member. The mating electrode sections are disposed coaxially with an axis P of the plug, and at least two of the connection electrode sections are disposed around the axis P so as to surround the axis P side by side.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: SMK CorporationInventors: Taku Akaiwa, Susumu Shinozaki, Takeshi Matsuda, Tatsuo Kato, Masaji Komuro, Kenji Nakazawa, Kenji Hatano, Yoshitaka Kimura
