Abstract
A connector is configured such that a socket housing is engaged with a header housing as to cause a socket-side signal terminal to contact a header-side signal terminal and as to cause a socket-side power source terminal to contact a header-side power source terminal. The socket-side signal terminal and the socket-side power source terminal are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the socket housing. In the socket-side power source terminal and the header-side power source terminal, contact portions to contact each other are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the socket housing. Three tongues are formed in the socket-side power source terminal. The contact portions are provided at the three tongues, respectively.
Claims6
A connector comprising:
- a socket including a socket housing having substantially a rectangular shape, a socket-side signal terminal disposed in the socket housing, and a socket-side power source terminal disposed in the socket housing;
- and
- a header including a header housing having substantially a rectangular shape, a header-side signal terminal disposed in the header housing, and a header-side power source terminal disposed in the header housing,
- wherein, while the socket housing is engaged with the header housing, the socket-side signal terminal contacts the header-side signal terminal, and the socket-side power source terminal contacts the header-side power source terminal,
- wherein the socket-side signal terminal and the socket-side power source terminal are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the socket housing,
- wherein the socket-side power source terminal and the header-side power source terminal include a plurality of contact portions which contact each other and arranged in the longitudinal direction,
- wherein the socket-side power source terminal further includes three tongues,
- wherein the plurality of contact portions are provided at the three tongues, respectively,
- wherein a recess is formed in one contact portion out of a contact portion of the socket-side power source terminal and a contact portion of the header-side power source terminal which contacts the contact portion of the socket-side power source terminal, and
- wherein at least one of the three tongues contacts with the header-side power source terminal at the recess.
