Patent number: 10630026Abstract: There is provided a movable connector that facilitates easy engagement and improves stability in electrical connection. The movable connector includes a manipulation housing that is coupled to a movable housing by a pressing operation of the manipulation housing against the movable housing. The movable connector also includes a contact reinforcing member that moves together with the manipulation housing by the pressing operation. The contact reinforcing member comes into contact with a pair of contact portions of a circuit-board connection terminal and thereby presses the contact portions against a pin terminal.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: IRISON ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Suzuki, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Yoshiyuki Ogura, Tomomitsu Saito, Daichi Shimba

Patent number: 10498082Abstract: There is provided a movable connector that more reliably suppresses pivotal motion of a connection target object at a contact section serving as the center of the pivotal motion. Further, reliable suppression of the pivotal motion of the connection target object at the contact section is achieved with no increase in the size of terminals. A contact section includes a first contact piece section having a first contact section that achieves pressing contact with a pin terminal T in a first direction, a second contact piece section having a second contact section that achieves pressing contact with the pin terminal T in the first direction in a position shifted from the first contact section toward the far side, and a contact receiving section that faces the first and second contact sections and has a contact surface section that comes into contact with the pin terminal T over the length thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: IRISO ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Suzuki, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Yoshiyuki Ogura, Tomomitsu Saito, Daichi Shimba, Koji Kuniyoshi

Patent number: 10193260Abstract: A multi-contact connector includes terminals, which each include a first contact piece section, which has a first contact section, which achieves pressing contact with a pin terminal in a first direction, and a first elastic arm, which extends in a direction that intersects the first direction and displaceably supports the first contact section, and a second contact piece section, which has a second contact section, which achieves pressing contact with the pin terminal in the first direction, and a second elastic arm, which displaceably supports the second contact section. The second elastic arm extends in the first direction, which intersects the direction in which the first elastic arm extends, and an end portion of the second elastic arm or the end portion in the extending direction, that is, the front end facing the first elastic arm is formed as a spring piece linked to the second contact section.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: IRISO ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Suzuki, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Yoshiyuki Ogura, Tomomitsu Saito, Daichi Shimba, Koji Kuniyoshi

Patent number: 10128614Abstract: A movable connector with which an insertion force of a connection object that places a load on a solder portion can be reduced, that has a floating function, and that can be reduced in size is provided. As a result of a pushing operation in which an operation housing is pushed into a fixed housing, a relay terminal is conductively connected to a substrate connection terminal, which is in conductive contact with a substrate, and a pin terminal, which is disposed in a movable housing and serves as the connection object, in the movable housing. Accordingly, the overall size of the movable connector can be reduced. In addition, the insertion force applied to the pin terminal is not applied to the solder portion by which the movable connector is fixed to the substrate, so that conduction failure does not occur.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: IRISO ELECTRONICS CO., LT.Inventors: Hitoshi Suzuki, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Yoshiyuki Ogura, Tomomitsu Saito, Daichi Shimba

Publication number: 20160111804Abstract: A terminal of a connector includes a contact section that comes into contact with a pin terminal of a counterpart connector and a movable spring section that elastically supports the contact section to be displaceable in a direction which intersects with an axis of the pin terminal in a fitting chamber of a housing. Further, the connector includes a clip terminal which is displaceable following the displacement of the contact section while holding the pin terminal that is in contact with the contact section in the fitting chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: IRISO ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomomitsu Saito, Takanori Kimata, Yoshiyuki Ogura

Publication number: 20100224601Abstract: When a laser beam is incident on a thin film, carbide generated by the heat of the beam is not ejected between respective metallic thin plates. In each of second conductive sections of a metallic thin plate, a slit extends from a welding position to the end of the second conductive section. The second conductive sections are respectively welded to terminals by making the laser beam incident on the respective welding positions of a substrate for the thin film. Thereby, when the beam is incident on a resin, the resin is carbonized by the thermal energy of the laser beam and the resin carbide is ejected from the welded portion, and the carbide is discharged to the outside from the lower end of the second conductive section via the slit of the second conductive section. Thereby, the carbide is not ejected between the adjacent second conductive sections. Consequently, lowering of the insulation resistance between the respective second conductive sections due to the carbide is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2009Publication date: September 9, 2010Applicant: IRISO ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yujiro Sugaya, Tomomitsu Saito
