    Abstract: A female terminal downsized in a male terminal-inserting direction. A terminal body has a reception portion, for receiving a male terminal. A first and second spring portions are arranged to be opposed to each other so as to sandwich the male terminal inserted into the reception portion from an inlet portion thereof. The first spring portion has a first and second contact points brought into contact with the sale terminal in the reception portion. The second spring portion has a third contact point brought into contact with the stale terminal in the reception portion. The third contact point is between the first and second, contact points in the male terminal-inserting direction. The first contact point is in the inlet portion of the reception portion, and the second contact point is at a more inward location in the reception portion than the first contact point.

    Abstract: An optical module includes a first optical block (OB) which is mounted on a substrate and a second OB which holds an optical fiber. When orthogonal X and Z directions are parallel to a substrate surface and a direction orthogonal thereto is a Y direction, the first OB includes a base part and two extending parts which extend in the Z direction. The second OB is configured to be accommodated between the two extending parts from the upper side of the Y direction and to be moved in the Z direction between the two extending parts. Positioning parts for positioning the second OB with respect to the first OB in the X and Y directions are formed on the second OB. An extending direction of the optical fiber held by the second OB is the Z direction and a light traveling direction between the base part and the second OB is the Z direction.

    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. One of the first connector and the second connector is a cable connector which is configured to be connected with a cable. The first connector comprises a plurality of first engagement portions. The second connector comprises at least one support portion and at least one second engagement portion. under a mated state where the first connector and the second connector are mated with each other, the first engagement portions are divided into to a first group and a second group and each of the at least one second engagement portion faces one of the first engagement portion(s) of the first group in a front-rear direction while each of the first engagement portion(s) of the second group does not face any of the at least one second engagement portion in the front-rear direction.

    Abstract: In an open position, a power-supply terminal and a detection terminal are not connected to a mating power-supply terminal and a mating detection terminal, respectively. In a predetermined position, the power-supply terminal is connected to the mating power-supply terminal while the detection terminal is not connected to the mating detection terminal. In a closed position, the power-supply terminal and the detection terminal are connected to the mating power-supply terminal and the mating detection terminal, respectively. When the connector is turned toward the predetermined position from the closed position, a first regulating portion regulates a first regulated portion to prevent the connector from reaching the predetermined position. When the connector is turned toward the predetermined position after the regulation is released, a second regulating portion regulates a second regulated portion to prevent the connector from being turned toward the open position beyond the predetermined position.

    Abstract: A connector is mountable on a mount object in an up-down direction and connectable with a mating connector along a predetermined direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The mating connector comprises a mating fitting portion and a male screw member. The connector comprises a fitting portion and a screw end accommodation portion. The fitting portion is mateable with the mating fitting portion. The screw end accommodation portion defines an accommodation space which accommodates an end of the male screw member when the connector is connected with the mating connector. The screw end accommodation portion has at least a front surface portion, an upper surface portion, a rear surface portion and an outer surface portion. The front surface portion is provided with a female screw portion which is connectable with the male screw member. The accommodation space is positioned between the front surface portion and the rear surface portion in the predetermined direction.

    Abstract: A connector has contacts and a housing having holding grooves which accommodate the contacts. Each of the holding grooves has an inner wall extending in a first direction. Each of the contacts has a fixed portion, a contact arm portion and a support arm portion. The fixed portion is fixed to a corresponding one of the holding grooves. The contact arm portion and the support arm portion extend from the fixed portion in the first direction and are disposed apart from each other in a second direction. The contact arm portion has a contact point and is resiliently deformable to move the contact point in the second direction. The support arm portion comes into contact with the inner wall of the corresponding one of the holding grooves at least when the contact arm portion is resiliently deformed so that the contact point comes close to the support arm portion.
