Abstract: In an electronic device, a slider is disposed in an insertion opening of a housing of a card edge connector. The slider is movable with an insertion operation of a circuit board into the insertion opening from an initial position before the circuit board is inserted to an insertion completed position where the insertion operation of the circuit board is completed by being pushed by the circuit board. When the slider is at the initial position, terminal projections are supported on a support surface of the slider in a resiliently deformed condition so that contacts are separated from an electrode-formed surface of the circuit board. When the slider is at the insertion completed position, the terminal projections are completely separated from the slider and in a state of applying a spring back force of resilient deformation to the circuit board through the contacts.

Abstract: A card edge connector for electrically connecting harnesses to contact electrodes that are located in different positions on a surface of an electronic substrate in an insertion direction includes a housing, harness terminals, and relay terminals. The housing defines a substrate insertion hole for receiving the electronic substrate. The harness terminals are separately connected to the harnesses and located in different positions in a height direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The relay terminals separately connect the harness terminals to the contact electrodes upon insertion of the electronic substrate into the substrate insertion hole.

Abstract: A card edge connector for electrically coupling between contact electrodes on an electric circuit board and harnesses includes: a housing with a board insertion opening; harness terminals coupling with the harnesses; and junction terminals coupling between contact electrodes and harness terminals. The contact electrodes include first and second contact electrodes on both of first and second surfaces of the board. Each first contact electrode is nearer one end of the board than each second contact electrode. The first and second contact electrodes on the first or second surface are aligned alternately along with a width direction of the board. A first or second end of the junction terminal contacting the contact electrode on the first or second surface extends from a first or second inner wall of the board insertion opening to reach a centerline of the board.

The housing has an insertion hole for receiving an electronic substrate therein. The first conductive part and the second conductive part are disposed in the insertion hole and are configured to come in contact with respective terminals disposed on a surface of the electronic substrate. The connecting element is coupled with the second conductive part and extends in a direction approximately vertical to a planer direction of the electronic substrate so as to be away from the surface of the electronic substrate. The first harness is coupled with the first conductive part and the second harness penetrates a penetrated part of the connecting element.

Abstract: A circuit board supporting electronic components mounted thereon is housed in a casing. The casing has a joint hole defined therein, and a connector is inserted in the joint hole with a water-resistant seal placed in a gap between the connector and edges of the casing which define the joint hole. The casing is of a trapezoidal shape and has a pair of parallel sides spaced from each other by a distance, the parallel sides having respective lengths greater than the distance between the parallel sides. The casing has a tooth as a stop which has a tip end held against the connector at a position in which the casing and the connector closely confront each other in or near a region of at least one of the parallel sides which is sealed by the water-resistant seal.

Abstract: A semiconductor electronic part, having a lot of bumps allocated in a checkered pattern, is solder-mounted on a multilayer circuit board. In the multilayer circuit board, a first wiring pattern linked with a first land is finer than a second wiring pattern linked with a second land. Only one first wiring pattern is passable between lands. The second lands are allocated in the outmost line on the uppermost layer of the multilayer circuit board. In the semiconductor electronic part, bumps connectable with the second lands are allocated in the outermost line.

Abstract: In an electronic control unit, a drive element liable to generate heat and a control processing element liable to be affected by heat are respectively mounted on a drive circuit board and a control circuit board different from each other, and the two boards are connected to each other by a flexible printed circuit board. The bonding portion of the flexible printed circuit board to the control circuit board is a back side portion of a connector mounted on the control circuit board at the same side as the control processing element. Therefore, heat generated by the drive element is suppressed from being transferred to the control processing element without causing layout hindrances.
