Electrical connector structure

Abstract

A connector structure configured to electrically connect an electrical component to a circuit board is disclosed. The connector structure may include a female connector secured to the circuit board; and a male terminal extending from the electrical component and inserted into the female connector. The female connector may include a connector housing secured to the circuit board; a connector-side terminal located within the connector housing and including a female contact configured to receive the male terminal; and a contact sleeve located within the connector housing and secured to the female contact. The female contact may be displaceable within the connector housing. The male terminal may be deformed so as to press the contact sleeve against a frictional inner surface of the connector housing by a restoring force of the male terminal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
