To provide a connector for camera module use capable of preventing a defective contact of the connector. A connector for camera module use in which a camera moduleis accommodated in a connector box, which is covered with a shield case, and engaged by an engaging member, the camera moduleincluding: a solid image pickup element; a lens unit having a lens for guiding light to the solid image pickup element; and a lens holder by which the solid image pickup element is held, wherein a distance between the lens and the solid image pickup element is adjusted to a predetermined focal distance by the lens holder, and the connector for camera module use comprises a pushing memberand the pushing memberincludes: an opening portionformed at the center, the size of which is larger than that of the lens unit; leaf-spring-shaped elastic members. . . protruding along inner edges of the opening portion; and both side plateson which an engaging holeto be engaged with an engaging portionformed on a circumferential side of the shield caseis formed, wherein the pushing memberis formed into a reverse U-shape when it is viewed from the front, and when the pushing memberis engaged with the shield case, it pushes the camera module body to a bottom face by elastic forces of the elastic members.

Connector for camera module use

A recording media unit is provided that includes a slot through which a recording media is inserted into and ejected out of the recording media unit, a recording media holder, movably attached inside the recording media unit, for supporting a recording media, and a recording media holding mechanism, connected to the recording media holder, having a spring member. The recording media holder that supports the recording media that has been moved to an intermediate position along a direction in which the recording media is inserted is moved by a spring force of the spring member to a position where the recording media is pulled inside the recording media unit or to a position where the recording media protrudes from the slot.

An electronic device having a terminal unit disposed within a window formed on the casing is provided. This terminal unit is protected from an inadvertent touch. The electronic device of the present invention includes the casing and the terminal unit that is formed on a substrate disposed in the casing and has one or more terminals exposed through the window formed on the surface of the casing. This electronic device further includes a cover to block up the window. The cover is detachably mounted to the window.

Electronic device

An electronic device having a contact point unit that protrudes from the casing but is protected without the use of a cap is provided. This electronic device includes a contact point unit having at least one contact point protruding from the surface of the casing of the device. This contact point unit includes a main body rotatable supported by a rotational axis extending from both side surfaces of the casing, and at least one contact point attached to the surface of the main body. The main body is rotatively moved so that the contact point moves from a contact point exposing position to a contact point accommodating position. When the contact point unit is not used, the main body of the contact point unit is rotatively moved so that the contact point is accommodated in the casing.
