A thermal printer head that is highly efficient to manufacture is provided, which includes: a first substrate (), including a first main surface (), a first inclined surface () that is inclined relative to the first main surface (), and a second inclined surface () that is inclined relative to the first main surface (); an electrode layer (), laminated on the first main surface (), the first inclined surface (), and the second inclined surface (); a resistor layer (), having a plurality of heat dissipation portions () respectively laminated on the first inclined surface () and crossing separated parts in the electrode layer (); a driving integrated circuit (IC), for controlling the current passing through each heat dissipation portion (); and a plurality of wires (), respectively joined to the driving IC and joined to the second inclined surface () through the electrode layer ().

Thermal printer head and manufacturing method thereof

A clip connector (A) includes an insulating housing ( ) and a plurality of terminals ( ) projecting from the housing ( ). The housing ( ) includes an outer surface ( ) for engaging a support member such as a printed board. The outer surface ( ) is irregular, including a plurality of projecting portions ( ) and a plurality of retreating portions ( ). Each of the terminals ( ) includes a straight portion ( ) and a bent portion ( ). Each of the straight portion ( ) is formed with a through-hole ( ) through which a resin for bonding the support member and the outer surface ( ) is applied.

Clip connector, method of attaching clip connector, and assembly of clip connector and support member

A protection cover for a thermal printhead includes an elongated body and two bosses formed on the lower surface of the elongated body. These bosses are arranged to slant with each other when the cover is fixed to the thermal printhead. Thus, the protection cover, which is originally flat, is caused to warp so that its central portion is raised above its end portions.
