  • Patent number: 8657625
    Abstract: A connector includes a signal terminal, an insulating member, a ground terminal and an enclosure. The signal terminal has a main body extending in one direction, and a contact arm provided on each side of the main body for contacting another conductor. The insulating member encloses the main body. The ground terminal has a cylindrical main body enclosing the insulating member, and a contact arm provided on each side of the cylindrical main body for contacting another conductor. The cylindrical main body includes first and second semi-cylindrical parts, each having semi cylindrical shapes. The semi-cylindrical parts make a cylindrical shape as a whole by both end parts of the circumferential direction being assembled so as to mutually overlap. An insertion hole is formed in the enclosure where an assembly of the signal element, the insulating member and the ground terminal are inserted.

  • Patent number: 8128429
    Abstract: To provide an electric connector capable of securing a sufficient distance between a position at which a projecting portion of a flat electric cable is placed and a position soldered on the surface of a circuit board even when the electric connector is formed having a low profile an electric connector, for connecting an FPC, having a projecting portion formed on an edge thereof, to a circuit board, is disclosed. The electric connector has a plurality of terminals, a housing, and a reinforcing member fixed to the housing. The reinforcing member has a pull-out stop portion positioned outside in the width direction of the FPC relative to the plurality of terminals, and a fixed portion positioned apart from the pull-out stop portion toward the outside in the width direction of the FPC and fixed on the surface of the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8079861
    Abstract: A flat flexible cable connector (10) has a housing (31) with an insertion opening (33) in its front face. Two lengths of flexible cable (51a, 51b) are placed end to end and are inserted into the opening. The connector has terminals (41) with top and bottom opposing contact portions (43a, 44a) which are aligned with the exposed conductive leads on the two lengths of flexible cables. A moveable actuator (11) applies pressure to the terminal contact portions to effect a reliable connection between the flexible cables.

  • Patent number: 7980859
    Abstract: A connector holder has a U-shaped frame and supports an internal connector-receiving part within the U-shaped frame. Guide pieces are provided that grip the ends of a connector and the cable to which the connector is attached. The connector-receiving part thereby floats inside of the U-shaped frame so as to be positioned accurately for mounting to an opposing connector.

  • Patent number: 7950952
    Abstract: A cable connector includes a housing with an insertion recess for receiving an end of a flat cable and a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing for connecting to conductive leads of the flat cable. An actuator is attached to the housing so that the attitude of the actuator can be changed between a first position at which the flat cable can be inserted into the opening and a second position at which the actuator presses the conductive leads of the inserted flat cable into contact with the terminals. The actuator is attached to the housing at a cable insertion end side thereof and brought to the second position when the attitude of the actuator is changed in an insertion direction of the flat plate-like cable. A fulcrum of the attitude-changing movement of the actuator in the insertion direction is positioned further from the second position, as viewed from an effort point of a force applied by the flat cable to the actuator at the second position, than a point of action of the force being applied.

  • Patent number: 7905747
    Abstract: A relay connector (10) for joining together two lengths of flat printed circuitry or flat flexible cable is formed from two connector housings (31) of identical shape. The two housings are joined together by a set of conductive terminals (41) and housing engagement members. The terminals are bilaterally symmetrical and have contact and engagement portions at their ends which are received in terminal-receiving grooves in the rear of the two housings. A pair of actuators (11) are rotatably mounted to the housings and they move in opposite directions to open and close.
