Abstract
A movable connector is provided which includes a terminal formed of a single metal piece, the terminal enabling pliability in a movable portion and appropriate contact pressure in a contact portion to be obtained in a compatible way. The terminal of the movable connector includes a plate-thickness-direction conversion portion that interconnects a movable piece and a contact piece, and that reverses a plate thickness direction and a plate width direction of the terminal between the movable piece and the contact piece, and a front elastic arm and a rear elastic arm biasing respectively a front contact point and a rear contact point into pressure contact with the connection target in a direction crossing the plate thickness direction of the contact piece.
Claims6
A movable connector comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing into which a connection target is to be fitted;
- and
- a terminal including a movable piece that supports the second housing in a displaceable way relative to the first housing, and a contact piece having a contact point that is brought into contact with the connection target for conductive connection,
- wherein the terminal includes:
- a plate-thickness-direction conversion portion that interconnects the movable piece and the contact piece, and that reverses a plate thickness direction and a plate width direction of the terminal between the movable piece and the contact piece;
- and
- an elastic arm that is configured to elastically deform in a direction crossing the plate thickness direction, and configured to press the contact point against the connection object, and
- wherein the movable piece is formed so as to be bent in a direction crossing the plate width direction.
A terminal comprising:
- a movable piece for supporting a housing in a displaceable way relative to another housing;
- a contact piece having a contact point for bringing into contact with a connection target for conductive connection;
- a plate-thickness-direction conversion portion that interconnects the movable piece and the contact piece, and that reverses a plate thickness direction and a plate width direction of the terminal between the movable piece and the contact piece;
- and
- an elastic arm that is configured to elastically deform in a direction crossing the plate thickness direction, and configured to press the contact point against the connection object, and
- wherein the movable piece is formed so as to be bent in a direction crossing the plate width direction.
