Abstract:
A connector capable of dispensing an actuator and reducing manufacturing costs. The connector includes a metal plate for sandwichingly supporting an FPC. The metal plate includes a first supporting portion mounted on a printed wiring board, and a second supporting portion connected to the first supporting portion via a linking portion in a manner movable in an FPC sandwiching direction. The second supporting portion includes a second movable portion opposed to the first supporting portion, and a second spring portion for causing the second movable portion to be urged against the inserted FPC. The second supporting portion includes a pair of locking pieces. The locking pieces cause the second movable portion to move away from the first supporting portion, using an FPC inserting force to increase distance between contact point portions of the first and second supporting portions, and prevent removal of the FPC.
Abstract:
A differential signal connector includes a plurality of pairs of signal contacts, a plurality of ground contacts, and an insulating housing holding the signal contacts and the ground contacts. On a first connection side for connection to a connection partner, the ground contacts are arranged on both sides of each pair of signal contacts so that a contact array of a fixed pitch is formed. On a second connection side for connection to a board, the ground contacts are arranged spaced apart from each other in a first row, while the pairs of signal contacts, which are adjacently arranged on both sides of the ground contact on the first connection side, are arranged so as to be allocated in a second row and a third row located on both sides of the first row so that the pairs of signal contacts are arranged zigzag on the second connection side.
Abstract:
An optical module base is made up of a plurality of lead frames and a resin structure integrally molded with the lead frames and has an optical device mounting part and an optical waveguide mounting part which are formed in the resin structure. Each of the lead frames includes a connection part to which an optical device is to be mounted and electrically connected and a lead part which is continuous with the connection part. A portion of the thickness of the connection part is embedded in the resin structure and is positioned at the optical device mounting part. A sufficient strength of fixing a lead frame on a resin structure integrally molded with the lead frame can be ensured even if the sizes of the lead frames are miniaturized according to the sizes of electrodes of an optical device to be flip-chip bonded.
Abstract:
An electrical component inspection instrument includes a substrate and a rod-shaped conductor component having one end for contact with a conductor of an electrical component which is an object to be inspected. A conductor pattern on a board surface of the substrate reaches an edge of the substrate, and the other end of the rod-shaped conductor component is electrically connected to the conductor pattern at the edge of the substrate. A direction in which the rod-shaped conductor component extends is orthogonal to the direction of the normal to the board surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
A fixing device is used to fix a cable to a substrate. The cable has a first conductor and a second conductor. The substrate has a first substrate fixing portion and a second substrate fixing portion which corresponding to the first conductor and the second conductor, respectively. The fixing device has a first electrode portion, a second electrode portion and a coupling portion which connects the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion to each other. The first electrode portion has a first connection portion to be connected to the first conductor and a first fixing portion to be connected to the first substrate fixing portion. The second electrode portion has a second connection portion to be connected to the second conductor and a second fixing portion to be connected to the second substrate fixing portion.
Abstract:
In a plating method for mounting a tubular workpiece having openings at both ends in an axial direction thereof on a power feeding clip and immersing the tubular workpiece in a circulated plating solution to plate the tubular workpiece, the mounting of the tubular workpiece on the power feeding clip is performed by inserting the power feeding clip into the tubular workpiece from one of the openings of the tubular workpiece. The power feeding clip is configured by a folded metal plate, and includes a plurality of elastic contact pieces that can elastically contact the inner surface of the tubular workpiece to hold the tubular workpiece and supply power to the tubular workpiece, and a restraining part that is located inside the tubular workpiece and restrains flow of the plating solution in the axial direction.
Abstract:
An antenna member is configured to be mounted on a circuit board and to be used as an antenna. The antenna member has a split ring resonating portion, an impedance matching portion and a feed portion. The split ring resonating portion is provided with a facing portion which forms a split. The split ring resonating portion has a first side portion, a second side portion and an upper portion. The upper portion connects the first side portion and the second side portion with each other. The feed portion is provided on at least one of the first side portion and the second side portion. The impedance matching portion is positioned above the feed portion in an up-down direction perpendicular to a lateral direction. The impedance matching portion couples the first side portion and the second side portion with each other.
Abstract:
An electrical component comprises a main body, a fulcrum portion and at least two terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal. Each of the terminals has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with a circuit board when the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as a fulcrum, under an insertion state where the terminals are inserted into through-holes, respectively, while none of the terminals are soldered thereto. When the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as the fulcrum, under the insertion state, the second portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with the circuit board to regulate an excessive tilt of the main body.
Abstract:
A connector, with which an electrical wire is attachable, is connectable with a mating connector which has a mating contact portion. The connector comprises a housing and at least one terminal. The housing is provided with a support. The support has a receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a part of the electrical wire. The at least one terminal has an insulation displacement connection (IDC) portion, a contact portion, a supporting portion and a coupling portion. The IDC portion is configured to be insulation-displacement connected with the electrical wire. The support is positioned between the IDC portion and the supporting portion in a first predetermined direction. The coupling portion couples the IDC portion and the supporting portion with each other. The coupling portion has a neighboring portion. The neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction.
