Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector comprises a housing and a plurality of contacts. Each of the contacts has one or more first sets and one or more second sets. The first set includes two first press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a first direction. The second set includes two second press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first press-fit portions and the second press-fit portions are press-fit in the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector comprising a stationary housing, a movable housing and a plurality of contacts, wherein: each of the contacts has one or more first sets and one or more second sets; the first set includes two first press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a first direction; the second set includes two second press-fit portions which protrude oppositely to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; the first press-fit portions and the second press-fit portions are press-fit in the housing; the connector is to be mounted on a circuit board; the movable housing is movable relative to the stationary housing; the first press-fit portions and the second press-fit portions are held by the movable housing; each of the contacts has a fixed portion and a housing support spring partially held by the stationary housing; the housing support spring extends from the fixed portion; and the fixed portion is fixed to the circuit board when the connector is mounted on the circuit board. 2. The connector as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the first press-fit portions and the second press-fit portions is a press-fit protrusion. 3. The connector as recited in claim 1 , wherein: each of the contacts has a first planar portion, a second planar portion and a coupling portion; the first planar portion is perpendicular to the second direction; the second planar portion is perpendicular to the first direction; the coupling portion couples the first planar portion and the second planar portion with each other; the first press-fit portion protrudes from the first planar portion in the first direction; and the second press-fit portion protrudes from the second planar portion in the second direction. 4. The connector as recited in claim 1 , wherein: each of the contacts has two contact support springs; each of the two contact support springs is provided with a respective contact portion and with one or more of the second sets; and the contact portions face each other in the first direction.
