    Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals each having a fixation portion, an extension portion, and a connection portion and arrayed in width direction W. Each connection portion includes a connecting base portion, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm includes a support portion and a sub-arm formed of a first sub-arm and a second sub-arm. The first sub-arm has a first contact portion and the second sub-arm has a second contact portion. The second arm has a pressing portion protruding toward a predefined location between the first contact portion and the second contact portion. Each connection portion is configured such that when a mating connection unit is inserted between the respective first arms and the respective second arms, the pressing portion presses against the mating connection unit and at least either contact portion of the first contact portion and the second contact portion establishes continuity with the mating connection unit.

    Abstract: An antenna element comprises an upper conductor and at least one pair of legs. When the upper conductor is viewed along an up-down direction, one of the legs of the pair protrudes in a first orientation while a remaining one of the legs of the pair protrudes in a second orientation. The upper conductor is provided with at least one pair of recessed portions. When the upper conductor is viewed along the up-down direction, one of the recessed portions of the pair is recessed in the second orientation while a remaining one of the recessed portions of the pair is recessed in the first orientation. Each of the recessed portions is juxtaposed with the corresponding leg in a direction intersecting with a first direction which is defined by the first orientation and the second orientation.

    Abstract: A terminal is connectable with a mating terminal in a front-rear direction. The terminal has a base portion, a plurality of supporting portions and a plurality of contact points. The base portion has a cylindrical shape. Each of the supporting portions is resiliently deformable and extends forward in the front-rear direction form the base portion. The supporting portions are arranged in a circumferential direction about an axis parallel to the front-rear direction. Each of the contact points is movable in a radial direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction. Each of some of the contact points is positioned rearward of any of remaining ones of the contact points in the front-rear direction. In at least one of the circumferential direction and the radial direction, a size of each of some of the supporting portions is, at least in part, smaller than a size of any of remaining ones of the supporting portions.

    Abstract: This connector unit includes a connector housing. The connector housing has a front-surface plate part and two or more through-holes penetrating the front-surface plate part to be connected to the inside of the connector housing. In the front-surface plate part, two through-holes of the two or more through-holes are disposed at positions of two opposing apexes of a rectangle surrounding an opening portion. When the connector unit is installed, one through-hole of the two through-holes is positioned above the opening portion to serve as a cap attachment hole, and the other through-hole of the two through-holes is positioned below the opening portion to serve as a water drain hole.

    Abstract: A connector includes: terminal that includes a box-like portion, into which a mating terminal is inserted; a housing that has an accommodating hole accommodating the box-like portion; and a retainer that is attached to the housing in a manner to be displaceable in a crossing direction, which crosses with a direction in which the box-like portion is inserted. A pressing piece is formed on an upper surface of the accommodating hole, and a protrusion is formed on the lower surface. The retainer includes a protrusion portion. When the retainer is positioned on the first position, the box-like portion is allowed to be inserted into the accommodating hole and the portion is pushed by the pressing piece and displaced in the crossing direction so as to make a step portion of the box-like portion be retained and a rear end of the box-like portion be retained, producing a primary locking state.
