Patent number: 11043765Abstract: A multipolar connector capable of easily assembling components thereof without requiring high positional accuracy for portions of the components that are to be fixed to each other. A multipolar connector is a multipolar connector for use in electrically connecting circuit boards to each other. The multipolar connector includes an external terminal that is fixed to a circuit board, an insulating member that is fixed to the external terminal, and internal terminals that are respectively fitted to grooves, which are formed in the insulating member, so as to be partially exposed through the insulating member. The insulating member is placed such that the bottom surface thereof is in contact with an outer frame portion of the external terminal and fixed to the external terminal as a result of the top surface thereof being pressed by bending portions of the external terminal toward the outer frame portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Osaki, Chikara Uratani

Patent number: 9551739Abstract: A coaxial connector including a connector main body is formed of an upper housing and a lower housing. An outer conductor includes a circular cylinder portion surrounding the periphery of a hole of the connector main body and configured to be inserted into an outer conductor of a mating coaxial connector. A main body portion is provided on the connector main body, and a fixation portion that is extended from the main body portion so as to sandwich the connector main body along with the main body portion. A fixed terminal is anchored to the connector main body. A movable terminal includes a fixation portion anchored to the connector main body, and a plate spring that extends from the fixation portion toward the fixed terminal and overlaps with the fixation portion at tip ends of the plate spring.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoshihiro Osaki

Publication number: 20150056866Abstract: A coaxial connector capable of reducing a probability of another coaxial connector easily separating from the coaxial connector. A hole into which a probe is inserted toward a downward direction is formed in a main body. An external terminal includes a cylinder portion that surrounds the hole extends in a top-bottom direction, and is inserted into an external terminal and a flat portion that is connected to a lower end portion of the cylinder portion and has a surface, which is oriented upward. A fixed terminal is fixed to the main body. A movable terminal is fixed to the main body, in contact with the fixed terminal, and is separated from the fixed terminal as a result of the probe making contact with the movable terminal. A groove that extends around an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder portion is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Applicant: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Yoshihiro OSAKI

Patent number: 8235750Abstract: This disclosure provides a coaxial inspection connector that is connectable to and disconnectable from a receptacle, the receptacle including an external conductor, a fixed terminal, and a movable terminal that is in pressed contact with the fixed terminal from below. Housing includes an end portion that contacts the external conductor. A probe extends vertically in the end portion. The probe is insulated from the housing, and includes a plunger. The plunger includes a plunger body and a tip. The plunger body contacts the fixed terminal when the external conductor contacts the end portion. The tip is an insulating portion disposed at a lower end of the plunger. The tip pushes the movable terminal downward and separates the movable terminal from the fixed terminal when the external conductor contacts the end portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoshihiro Osaki

Patent number: 7556529Abstract: A coaxial connector is connected to a leading end of a coaxial cable and is detachably connected to a receptacle. The coaxial connector includes a cylindrical housing including a spring portion having a projection to be fitted in a groove provided on the outer periphery of an outer conductor of the receptacle, a central conductor probe stored in the housing so as to be in contact with an inner terminal of the receptacle, and cylindrical sleeves held on the outer periphery of the housing so as to be movable in the axial direction. The sleeve has lock pieces provided in an upper portion and an annular portion in a lower portion. The lock pieces are in elastic contact with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion provided on the outer periphery of the housing. The annular portion restricts expansion of the spring portion of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroki Wakamatsu, Yuichi Maruyama, Yoshihiro Osaki
