A probe cover which is to be attached to a socket that is configured to support a plurality of contact probes, includes: a base; two positioning pins which are disposed on the base; and at least one supporting member which is disposed on the base. The two positioning pins and the supporting member are capable of positioning the base in a state where the base is separated from the socket by a predetermined distance, and a mutual separation distance between the two positioning pins is changeable.

Probe cover

To simplify an assembling process and reduce a height while keeping a reliable waterproof structure by improving structures of a housing and an elastic body. Provided are an insulative housing, an insulative elastic bodywhich is held by the housing, and terminal pinswhich penetrate through the elastic bodyand are held by the housing. The insulative elastic bodyhas an outside elastic portionand inside elastic portionsinto which the insulative elastic bodyis partitioned by the housingand link portionswhich link the outside elastic portionto the inside elastic portions. The housingis provided with wall portionswith which the inside elastic portionsthrough which the respective terminal pinspenetrate are in contact in a compressed state.

Waterproof connector

An antenna for mounting on a vehicle which restrains damping of a signal voltage by reducing a stray capacitance of a signal path and has an improved antenna characteristic and a short physical length, and an antenna element which is suitable for an antenna for mounting on a vehicle and is flexible by using a helical coil of a large winding diameter are provided. In the antenna for mounting on a vehicle, with respect to a band signal having a short wavelength of a plurality of band signals to be transmitted/received, an antenna element is caused to resonate with a physical length shorter than &frac14; of the wavelength of the band signal. A linear line portion is provided at the proximal end, and the antenna element is provided at a predetermined distance from vehicle body and a conductive member of the same electric potential as the vehicle body. The stray capacitance between the proximal end portion of the antenna element and the vehicle body is small, and a signal voltage is outputted without being damped. The antenna element is formed by burying a helical coil coaxially into a flexible insulating resin pipe. The pitch of the helical coil is not shifted even when it is bent repeatedly. Also, no sink mark is generated in the insulating resin pipe.

Antenna for mounting on vehicle, antenna element and manufacturing method thereof

The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
