Abstract: The module-type connector according to the present invention defines the connectable connectors with a rigid supporting plate which extends along the connecting direction in order to make it easy to properly fit a male connector to a female connector. In the module-type connector, the contacting portions of the contacts that are shifted in the separation direction of the corresponding terminal with which the contacting portions contact are almost uniformly distributed. Further, the male connector that receives a preliminary load from different levels in the direction so that opposing elastic contacting portions are widened by engaging between the first end portion of each contact within a housing and the different levels of the housing, has at least a protruding portion that protrudes from the contacting surface of the plurality of contacts toward the contacting surface thereof and that is provided between contacts.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for transmitting data. Digital image data is converted into image data packets, and digital audio data is converted into audio data packets, the packets being transmitted by a spread spectrum-frequency hopping (SS-FH) sending and receiving device. A bi-directional audio transmission is performed, independently of a image transmission direction, by switching between a sending mode and a receiving mode of the SS-FH sending and receiving device for selected time periods.

Abstract: Three male pin contacts arranged in parallel in the same plane are mounted on a plug body of a connector plug so that the three male pin contacts form one signal transmission line. In a socket body of a connector socket for engagement with the connector plug there is provided a contact receiving chamber, in which three female contacts formed by plate springs are arranged in parallel in the same plane. The three female contacts form one signal transmission line. The center ones of the three male pin contacts and the three female contacts are used as signal lines and both side contacts are used as grounding lines, by which open microstrip line structures are formed. When the connector plug is fitted into the connector socket, each of the three female contacts are brought into contact, at one point, with the male pin contact corresponding thereto.
