An interface sectionof a structureincludes a plurality of contacts, each of the contacts having a contact portionand a spring portionwhich supports the contact portionso that the contact portionis displaceable in an up-down direction. The contact portionsof the contactsare arranged in a pitch direction (X direction), and reinforcement portionsare positioned between the contact portions, respectively. The structure reinforces a side portion of the contact portion. Therefore, even if the contact portionreceives a force along the pitch direction (X direction), damage of the contactcan be prevented.

Structure including an interface section having displaceable contact portions with reinforced portions

A number of the terminal rows RTto RTare minimized, as compared to a number of the connect rows RCto RC. In the terminal row RT, the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, Care arranged between the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, Cand the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, C. In the terminal row RT, the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, Care arranged between the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, Cand the terminal portionsof the signal contact pair C, C. Thus, a size of the footprint of the connectorcan be reduced, and cross talks between the signal contact pair C, Cand the signal contact pair C, Cand between the signal contact pair C, Cand the signal contact pair C, Ccan be reduced.

Connector

A lock-equipped connector capable of preventing plastic deformation of a spring section of a locking member even when the connector is made compact in size. The locking member has a pair of arms extending in a fitting/removing direction of the connector, a connecting portion that connects the arms, a spring section, and engaging nails formed on the arms. The spring section has a first spring portion extending from the connecting portion in the fitting/removing direction, a second and a third spring portions extending from an end of the first spring portion opposite from the connecting portion side in a manner folded back toward one side and the other side of the connecting portion, respectively. A first and second fixing portions are connected to the second and third spring portions, respectively, and are fixed to the housing.

Loc-equipped connector

Electrical connector

In a connector adapted to be mounted on a connection object for connection to a mating connector, the connector includes contacts each of which has a contact portion placed on a contact portion side of the connector for connection to the mating connector and a terminal portion placed on a terminal portion side for connection to the connection object. The contacts have a plurality of signal contact members and a plurality of ground contact members. The signal contact members make a plurality of pairs. The ground contact members are arranged with spaces left therebetween. On the contact portion side, the pairs of the signal contact members are placed in the spaces, respectively. On the terminal portion side, the signal contact members and the ground contact members are separately arranged on parallel rows and the pairs of the signal contact members face the spaces, respectively.
