Abstract: A high-speed transmission connector is described that includes a housing, a row of front side contacts supported on the housing, a row of rear side contacts supported on the housing, and a metal member. The housing has a slot to be fitted with a header of an external communication partner, and an upper plate portion and a lower plate portion facing each other vertically across the slot. The front side contact portions are exposed on a front side in the slot and the rear side contact portions are exposed on a rear side in the slot. The metal member supports the upper plate portion and the lower plate portion and fastens the upper plate portion and the lower plate portion.

Abstract: A robotic working apparatus includes: a working robot configured to perform work while autonomously traveling in a set working area; and a controller configured to control motion of the working robot and including a working area setting section configured to partition and set the working area. The working area setting section sets an individual enclosed area overlapping with an existing working area.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a high-speed transmission connector includes: a row of first contacts, a row of second contacts, a row of third contacts, a row of fourth contacts, an upper housing that supports the row of first contacts, a lower housing that supports the row of second contacts, and an inner housing that supports the row of third contacts and the row of fourth contacts. The upper housing, the lower housing, and the inner housing are assembled in such a manner that the upper housing and the lower housing face each other in a vertical direction with a gap therebetween, and the inner housing is accommodated in the upper housing and the lower housing. The gap forms a slot into which a header of a device as a communicating counterpart is to be fitted.

Abstract: A connector housing includes a first side wall and a second side wall. The first side wall is to be pressed against a cylindrical member extending in a first direction. The second side wall is opposed to the first side wall in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second side wall is formed with a front-side rib at one end in the first direction and a rear-side rib at the other end in the first direction. The front-side rib protrudes in the second direction and extends in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. The rear-side rib projects in the second direction and extends in the third direction. The front-side rib and the second side rib do not face to each other in the first direction.

Abstract: A connector housing includes a cylindrical side wall. The cylindrical side wall includes a concave surface on one side of an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical side wall in a first direction. The concave surface curves inwards into an arc shape and extends in a second direction, so that the concave surface is to be pressed against a cylindrical member with the second direction aligned with a direction in which the cylindrical member extends.

Abstract: A card connector with an ejection mechanism is described. The card connector may include a base member, a cover member, a card accommodating space, and contact lines, which are electrically connected to a card placed into the card accommodating space. The card connector may also include an ejection lever, a spring, which pushes the ejection lever to the card accommodating space, and a pair of guide walls, which lead the ejection lever in a card insertion/withdrawal direction. The card connector may further include an ejection mechanism for pulling the IC card out of the card accommodating space. The ejection lever may include an arm portion, which comes in contact with a front end portion of the card, a spring mounting portion, a slide portion, which is led to a pair of the guide walls, and a pull portion, which extends outside the base member.

Abstract: The card connector in which a card receiving space for containing at least a part of a small card incorporating an integrated circuit is formed by a cover member having at least a top board and right and left side walls and a base member having at least a bottom wall, a front wall, and right and left side walls, the card connector includes: a plurality of contacts penetrating the front wall of the base member and being elastically deformably supported by the base member; and a heat dissipating mechanism located behind the plurality of contacts and elastically deformably supported by the base member. The heat dissipating mechanism includes at least one heat dissipating piece having a free end at one end. The heat dissipating mechanism is disposed at a cutoff portion formed at the bottom wall of the base member.

Abstract: A contact includes a support member, a first spring portion, a second spring portion, a third spring portion and a fourth spring portion. The first spring portion extends obliquely upper forwardly from an upper end of the support member and has, at an apex, a first contact point which contacts with an IC package. The second spring portion is bent from the first contact point, to extend obliquely lower rearwardly and have a first touch portion. The third spring portion extends obliquely lower forwardly from a lower end of the support member and has a second contact point which contacts with a printed-wiring board, thus being in contrast with the first spring portion with respect to the support member. The fourth spring portion is bent from the second contact point, to extend obliquely upper rearwardly and has a second touch portion for contacting with the first touch portion.

Abstract: A coaxial connector with a selector switch is one which a pressing force of the coaxial plug (12) as it is connected to the coaxial connector is applied to one of the pair of contacts (6, 7) through the selector terminals (21) to disengage the pair of contacts (6, 7) from each other and to electrically connect the one of the pair of contacts (6), to a contact (13) of the coaxial plug (12) through the selector terminals (21), wherein, the elastic member, which moves the selector terminals (21) in a direction away from the one of the pair of contacts (6), by its elastic recovering force, is constructed from a coned disc spring or a leaf spring (22). This arrangement reduces the height of the connector, facilitates the assembly and reduces the number of parts.

Abstract: A flat cable connector firmly holds a flat cable in the receptacle without complicating the construction of the connector. It reliably and precisely achieves the vertical and horizontal positioning of the flat cable with respect to the contact terminals of the receptacle. The flat cable connector comprises a roughly U-shaped locking body removably attached to the ends of the flat cable and having a pair of side frames each formed with a slit and with a locking projection and a front frame connecting the front ends of the paired side frames, and a receptacle having engagement portions engaged by the locking projections, wherein the flat cable is electrically connected to the receptacle by inserting the flat cable attached with the locking body into the receptacle.
