Abstract: A compliant electrical connector for press-fit connection in a plated through-hole in a printed circuit board. The connector is stamped with a notch, and has a press-in section with a trapezoidal cross-section, with the width of an upper surface with the notch being longer than that of lower surface. The connector includes a coupling section, smoothly connects the press-in section and a lead-in section, and a shoulder which assists in positioning the connector into the through-hole. The connector can be simply manufactured and miniaturized, and is suitable for use with high density printed circuits with high density, and compliance can be guaranteed even in a case where the inner diameter of the through-hole is small.

Abstract: In a high-speed transmission connector having a male connector and a female connector adapted to connect with the male connector, the male connector is provided with a first outer conductor enveloping a contact pin. The female connector is provided with a conductive socket member which is for being brought into contact with the contact pin with the contact pin inserted to the socket member when the female connector is connected to the male connector. The female connector is further provided with a second outer conductor enveloping the socket member which is for being brought into contact with the first outer conductor with being inserted to the first outer conductor so that the first outer conductor are kept at an earth potential through the second outer conductor when the female connector is connected to the male connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes electrically-conductive contacts (33) held on a base plate portion (31a) of a housing (31), and makes the contacts (33) tightly contacted with an electrical connecting element (81) in the form of a flat plate placed on the base plate portion (31a). The base plate portion (31a) has a first base surface (31b) on which the electrical connecting element (81) is placed, and a second base surface (31c) positioned adjacent to the first base surface (31b). The contacts (33) each have a support post portion (33a) held on the base plate portion (31a) and extending upward above the first base surface (31b), a first beam portion (33b) extending from the support post portion (33a) in opposed relation to the first base surface (31b), and a second beam portion (33c) extending from the support post portion (33a) in opposed relation to the second base surface (31c).

Abstract: Compound represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as therapeutics for cerebrovascular diseases containing such compounds or salts as an active ingredient. The compounds are capable of selective inhibition of nitric oxide synthase in neurons and, hence, are useful as the active ingredient of therapeutics for cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract: An electrical component has a chip body made of resin, and a metallic pattern including a plurality of terminals to be bonded to a printed circuit, a plurality of interconnects extending on the top surface and connected to the terminals. The chip body has a plurality of small thickness region each corresponding to one of the interconnects. Each of the small thickness regions can be selectively broken after bonding the chip body onto a printed circuit board by a thrusting tool for disconnection. The chip body can provide a desired function of the electronic circuit after fabrication of an electronic device.

Abstract: The grip of a plug-in module according to the present invention is rotatably supported on the upper side of a circuit board. A first end portion of the grip includes a convex portion which engages with a recessed portion in the housing to prevent the plug-in module from being dislodged from the housing by vibrations or the like. When the first and second engaging end are disengaged and the grip is rotated, a protruding end on one side of the grip abuts and applies pressure to the upper end of the housing to assist in removing the plug-in module from the housing. In addition, the above-described protruding end and an additional protruding end on the other side of the grip may be grasped by a robot to allow insertion or removal of the plug-in module by a robot.

Abstract: A cylindrical insulator (1) is provided in which inner and outer surfaces are covered with electroconductive plated layers (2, 2a). The layers (2, 2a) are directly electrically connected to the shielding wire (4) and core wire (3), respectively, of a coaxial cable (6) while a groove (14) for engagement with outer contacts (7, 7a) is formed in the outer surface of the insulator (1) and a projection having the same shape as the groove (14) is provided on the inner surface of the insulator (1) to keep its thickness uniform over its entire length. The shielding wires (4) are connected to the outer surface of the insulator by clamping the wires to the outer plated layer of the insulator by means of a clamping ring.
