To provide a cable connecting connector having connection strength between a conductor and a contact by reducing the resistance at the time of collectively soldering cables with different diameters, it is configured of a horizontally elongated insulating housing, a plurality of contacts each having a base part to be secured to the insulating housing, and a connecting part having a same height in an up and down direction, and arranged in parallel to one another and perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the insulating housing, and thermoplastic holding base parts each protruding from a flat surface of the insulating housing into between the contacts and facing the connecting parts thereof.

Cable connecting connector

To prevent damage to a printed circuit board due to concentration of contact pressure during press-fitting of press-fit contacts into through-holes of the board with narrow pitches, a press-fit contact includes a bulge portion formed wide substantially at a center in a long direction thereof, a press-fit portion extending from one end of the bulge portion and projecting in an arc in a width direction of the press-fit contact, a contact portion extending from the other end of the bulge portion, and an introduction portion extending from a distal end of the press-fit portion. A center portion of the press-fit portion in the long direction thereof, when adjacent press-fit contacts are provided in alignment with a line, has a direction of expansion that is not parallel to the line but is angled so as to be rotated about an axis of the center portion at a predetermined angle.

Press-fit contact

An interposition structure interposed between substrates and capable of guiding the insertion of a connection pin for electrically connecting the substrates to each other, whereby the connection pin can be inserted properly even in cases where the substrates to be connected or other members have a dimensional error caused during production thereof, a positioning error or the like. The interposition structure has an interposition body in which a through hole is formed such that connection pin inlet and outlet portions thereof each have an inner diameter gradually increasing in a direction from the inner part to the corresponding outer open end thereof, and also has a positioning protuberance provided on the underside of the interposition body. The interposition structure is interposed between upper and lower substrates with the positioning protuberance received in a recess formed in the upper surface of the lower substrate, and the connection pin is inserted through a hole in the upper substrate, the through hole, and a hole in the lower substrate.
