Problem: To realize a connection with a counterpart connector with high spacing efficiency, and to stably maintain an electrically connected state while having a compact and low profile and without the terminal being deformed or damaged, even when subjected to a force from a counterpart terminal when mated with the counterpart terminal, which increases reliability. Solution: The terminal includes a substrate fixing partfixed to a substrate, a pair of contact parts which sandwich a counterpart terminal, and an elastic deformation part having both ends connected to the substrate fixing partand the contact parts, respectively, wherein a spring constant of the elastic deformation part is smaller than a spring constant of the contact parts.

Highly reliable terminal and connector with a compact low profile

A connector is provided that includes a housing and a terminal installed in the housing. The housing includes a receiving space in which the upper face receiving a counterpart connector is opened, a pair of side wall parts defining at least a portion of both the left and right sides of the receiving space, a front wall part defining at least a portion of the front of the receiving space, and a pair of rear wall parts defining at least a portion of the rear of the receiving space. The terminal includes a front contact part provided on the front of the receiving space so as to be adjacent to each side wall part, and a rear contact part provided on the rear of the receiving space so as to be adjacent to each side wall part. The front contact part and the rear contact part are disposed in nearly a straight line extending in the anteroposterior direction, face each other, and are capable of holding a counterpart terminal of the counterpart connector from the front and rear thereof.

Connector and connector assembly

An electronic component is provided that includes multiple conductive terminals and an insulator integrated with the conductive terminals. A leg part possessed by one of the conductive terminals and a leg part possessed by another one of the conductive terminals are disposed so as to vertically overlap each other. The leg part possessed by one of the conductive terminals and the leg part possessed by another one of the conductive terminals have different lengths, and the tip of the shorter leg part of the two is covered by a thick part of the insulator.

Electronic component

A ground terminal is integrally formed with one ground coupling member extending in a width direction; a housing is integrally formed with a signal terminal, the ground terminal, and the ground coupling member by insert molding; the signal terminal has a contact portion that comes into contact with a counterpart signal terminal and a tail portion soldered to a core wire of a coaxial cable exposed from the housing; the ground coupling member includes a shield connecting portion that is exposed from the housing on a rear side of the tail portion of the signal terminal and soldered to a shield of the coaxial cable; and the ground terminal has a portion other than the contact portion embedded in the housing.

Coaxial cable electrical connector

A contactless power feeding apparatus includes a fixed electrode device and a movable electrode device that is movable with respect to the fixed electrode device, and the fixed electrode device and the movable electrode device can exchange electric power through electric field coupling. The fixed electrode device includes at least one fixed electrode plate extending in a longitudinal direction. The movable electrode device is movable along the fixed electrode plate in the longitudinal direction, and includes at least one movable electrode unit that is movable in the thickness direction of the fixed electrode plate. The movable electrode unit includes a pair of movable electrode plates opposed to both respective side faces of the fixed electrode plate, and a spacer member that holds the distance between the pair of movable electrode plates constant and brings the pair of movable electrode plates into conduction.

Contactless power feeding apparatus

An insulating sheet and a conductive terminal are provided in an electronic component, where at least one of the conductive terminals has a missing part, and where a remaining part positioned on both ends of the missing part is connected through a resistor element affixed to the insulating sheet.

Connector assembly includes first connector, second connector opposing first connector, and relay conductor that is held by first conductor and second connector and allows conduction between conduct first connector and second connector, wherein first connector preferably includes a pair of terminals that clamp relay conductor such that movement of relay conductor in the X-axis direction, which is the relative moving direction with respect to second connector, is allowed, and wherein second connector preferably includes a pair of terminals that clamp relay conductor such that movement of relay conductor in the Y-axis direction, which is the relative moving direction with respect to first connector and intersects the X-axis direction, is allowed.

Connector assembly for electrically connecting circuit boards

An electronic component is provided with a housing, a conductive terminal loaded on the housing, and an external conductive member loaded on the housing. A gap between the external conductive member and the conductive terminal is defined by a protrusion formed on the housing or the external conductive member.

The metal terminals are a first terminal, and a second terminal mated with the first terminal, the first terminal has a first main body portion, a first contact portion, and a first lock portion, the second terminal has a second main body portion, a second contact portion contacting the first contact portion, and a second lock portion locking the first lock portion. The first lock portion includes a first engaging portion arranged on a surface of the first main body portion, and the second lock portion including a pair of second engaging portions arranged on opposing surfaces of the second main body portions.

Metal terminals

The terminal has a base portion held by a terminal holding member, and a contact arm portion extending from the base portion and contacting the contact portion of another terminal. In this terminal, the contact arm portion includes a cantilevered first frame portion and second frame portion extending from the base portion, a connecting frame portion connecting a free end of the first frame portion and a free end of the second frame portion, a contact protruding portion formed in the first frame portion, and a contact face formed in the contact protruding portion; and the contact face moves in a parallel direction and maintains contact with a contact face of a contact portion of another terminal when the contact arm portion is elastically deformed by contact with the contact portion of the other terminal.

Terminal and connector

Terminal fitting

A connector for a multilayered board to connect a flat cable to a middle layer of a multilayered board while minimizing the impact due to variations in the dimensional precision and strength of multilayered boards and/or preventing deformation of the multilayered board and improving contact stability. The connector includes a board-side connecting portion and a cable-side connecting portion. The board-side connecting portion includes a column-shaped terminal, and the cable-side connecting portion includes flat terminals. The column-shaped terminal protrudes from the middle layer of the multilayered board in the thickness direction. The flat terminals include resilient contact portions, contacting a side surface portion of the column-shaped terminal from the width direction of the insertion slot in response to insertion of the cable-side connecting portion into the insertion slot.
