Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A board connecting connector includes a board retaining portion and a terminal retaining portion. The board retaining portion accommodates a board, and the terminal retaining portion accommodates terminals. When the board retaining portion and the terminal retaining portions are in a state of being fit to each other, terminal portions provided on a sheet surface of the board and elastic contact portions of the terminals contact to each other. Each of the terminals includes an elastic deformation portion having a contact portion and an inspection portion, with which an inspection jig contacts to inspect the terminal. The elastic deformation portion is formed by notching on a surface of a cylindrical part that is formed by bending sheet metal. The inspection portion is provided on a different surface from the cylindrical surface, using a part of the sheet metal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A board connecting connector for connecting a board having a terminal portion, comprising: a board retaining portion for retaining the board; a terminal having an elastic contact portion to be contacted with the terminal portion of the board; and a terminal retaining portion for retaining the terminal, wherein said board retaining portion is configured to fit into the terminal retaining portion in a fitting direction so that the elastic contact portion of the terminal contacts with the terminal portion of the board when the board retaining portion is fitted into the terminal retaining portion, said terminal further includes an elastic deformation portion having the elastic contact portion and an inspection portion for evaluating the terminal, said elastic deformation portion is formed of a metal cylindrical member with a cut portion, and said inspection portion is disposed away from the elastic deformation portion. 2. The board connecting connector according to claim 1 , wherein said inspection portion is formed of a metal plate member curved so that the inspection portion closes an opening portion of the elastic deformation portion. 3. The board connecting connector according to claim 1 , wherein said inspection portion is formed of a metal plate member curved at least twice. 4. The board connecting connector according to claim 1 , wherein said terminal retaining portion includes an inspection hole portion for accessing the inspection portion. 5. The board connecting connector according to claim 1 , wherein said board retaining portion is configured to fit into the terminal retaining portion in the fitting direction so that the board is sandwiched when the board retaining portion is fitted into the terminal retaining portion.
