Abstract: An interface section 200 of a structure 100 includes a plurality of contacts 120, each of the contacts having a contact portion 122 and a spring portion 126 which supports the contact portion 122 so that the contact portion 122 is displaceable in an up-down direction. The contact portions 122 of the contacts 120 are arranged in a pitch direction (X direction), and reinforcement portions 166 are positioned between the contact portions 122, respectively. The structure reinforces a side portion of the contact portion 122. Therefore, even if the contact portion 122 receives a force along the pitch direction (X direction), damage of the contact 120 can be prevented.

Abstract: A number of the terminal rows RT1 to RT3 are minimized, as compared to a number of the connect rows RC1 to RC4. In the terminal row RT1, the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C22, C23 are arranged between the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C11, C12 and the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C14, C15. In the terminal row RT3, the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C42, C43 are arranged between the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C31, C32 and the terminal portions 304 of the signal contact pair C34, C35. Thus, a size of the footprint of the connector 100 can be reduced, and cross talks between the signal contact pair C11, C12 and the signal contact pair C14, C15 and between the signal contact pair C31, C32 and the signal contact pair C34, C35 can be reduced.

Abstract: A lock-equipped connector capable of preventing plastic deformation of a spring section of a locking member even when the connector is made compact in size. The locking member has a pair of arms extending in a fitting/removing direction of the connector, a connecting portion that connects the arms, a spring section, and engaging nails formed on the arms. The spring section has a first spring portion extending from the connecting portion in the fitting/removing direction, a second and a third spring portions extending from an end of the first spring portion opposite from the connecting portion side in a manner folded back toward one side and the other side of the connecting portion, respectively. A first and second fixing portions are connected to the second and third spring portions, respectively, and are fixed to the housing.

Abstract: In a connector adapted to be mounted on a connection object for connection to a mating connector, the connector includes contacts each of which has a contact portion placed on a contact portion side of the connector for connection to the mating connector and a terminal portion placed on a terminal portion side for connection to the connection object. The contacts have a plurality of signal contact members and a plurality of ground contact members. The signal contact members make a plurality of pairs. The ground contact members are arranged with spaces left therebetween. On the contact portion side, the pairs of the signal contact members are placed in the spaces, respectively. On the terminal portion side, the signal contact members and the ground contact members are separately arranged on parallel rows and the pairs of the signal contact members face the spaces, respectively.
