Electronic pen and electronic pen main unit

Abstract

In a case in which an electronic pen main unit made into a cartridge is held movably in a casing, electrical connections between the electronic pen main unit and electronic circuit components of the casing are reliably established. The electronic pen main unit is fitted to a fitting part disposed in a casing of an electronic pen in which the pen tip side is made to be an opening and is housed in a state of being movable in a hollow part of the casing by a movement mechanism that moves the fitting part in the axial center direction of the casing. The electronic pen main unit includes a pen tip part including an electrically-conductive core body allowed to protrude to the external through the opening by being moved by the movement mechanism, a main body tubular part to which the pen tip part is joined on the pen tip side in the axial center direction and that houses an electronic circuit including a signal generating circuit that generates a signal to be sent out to the external through the core body, and a rear-end-part connector that is disposed at a rear end part of the main body tubular part on the side opposite to the pen tip part in the axial center direction, includes a terminal connected to the electronic circuit, and is joined to a connector for joining disposed at the fitting part of the casing.
