20100081299CONNECTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INCORPORATING THE SAME - A connector connection terminal has a fixed piece to be inserted to a base of a connector, a coupling portion extending from the fixed piece, and a movable piece extending in parallel to the fixed piece to both sides from a free end of the coupling portion and being operated by an operation lever rotatably assembled to the base. At least one of the fixed piece and the movable piece includes at least one pointed end portion. The connector connection terminal is formed through electroforming.04-01-2010
20100081310CONNECTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR USING THE SAME - A connector connection terminal has a fixed piece to be inserted to a base of a connector, a coupling portion extending from the fixed piece, and a movable piece extending in parallel to the fixed piece to both sides from a free end of the coupling portion and being operated by an operation lever rotatably assembled to the base. An aspect ratio of a cross-sectional area of the coupling portion is greater than or equal to 1.2.04-01-2010
20100081336CONNECTOR CONNECTION TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR USING THE SAME - A connector connection terminal has a fixed piece to be inserted and fixed to a base of a connector, a coupling portion projecting out from an upper side of the fixed piece, and a movable piece extending along the fixed piece from an upper end of the coupling portion and having one end as an upper contact and another end acting as an operation receiving portion. A lower contact is arranged at a position facing the upper contact of the upper side of the fixed piece. The operation receiving portion of the movable piece is operated with an operation lever rotatably supported by the base. An elastic arm is cut out with a slit formed along the upper side of the fixed piece to define a free end of the elastic arm as a lower contact. An aspect ratio of a cross-sectional area of the elastic arm is greater than or equal to 1.2.04-01-2010
20110177725ELECTRIC CONNECTOR, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE TOUCH METHOD - An electric connector has a contact spring. The contact spring includes a fixed portion that is retained by a housing, an involute portion that is extended from the fixed portion into an inward spiral pattern, a revolute portion that is inverted from the involute portion and extended into an outward spiral pattern along the involute portion, an arm portion that is connected to a tail end portion of the revolute portion, a tangential direction of a portion connected to the revolute portion in the arm portion being aligned with a tangential direction of the tail end portion of the revolute portion, and a contact portion that is provided at a leading end of the arm portion to be projected to an outside of the housing, the contact portion abutting on the-other-end electrode to receive a pressing force in a direction in which the arm portion is substantially extended.07-21-2011
20110177726ELECTRIC CONNECTOR, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE TOUCH METHOD - A compact electric connector in which a contact has a high contact pressure and a large displacement amount is provided. An electric connector includes a contact spring and an auxiliary spring. The contact spring includes a support portion that is supported by a housing, a contact portion that is projected from the housing to abut on the-other-end contact, and a plurality of flexing portions that are bent so as to be deformed between the support portion and the contact portion when the contact portion is pushed into the housing. The auxiliary spring includes a flexing auxiliary portion that abuts on the contact spring to exert an elastic force in a direction in which deformation of the flexing portion closest to the support portion is obstructed when the contact portion of the contact spring is pushed into the housing.07-21-2011
20110189905MOUNTING COMPONENT, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND MOUNTING METHOD - A mounting component has a conductive member. The conductive member includes a press-fitting unit that is linearly extended and press-fitted in a housing, two electrode portions that are arrayed in a direction in which the press-fitting unit is press-fitted and soldered onto pads, and a connection portion that is extended in parallel with the press-fitting unit to connect the two electrode portions.08-04-2011
