Abstract
A connector which is capable of realizing a narrower pitch of contact portions of contacts, and making the arranging pitch of terminal portions of the contacts larger without increasing waste of material of the contacts. Signal contacts (13, 13′, 14, 14′), and ground contacts (15), which include contact portions, terminal portions (133, 143, 153), and connecting portions (134, 144, 154) which connect the terminal portions are mounted in a housing. When the signal contacts (13, 13′, 14, 14′) and the ground contacts (15) are blanked from an elastic metal plate, portions of the connecting portions (134, 154), and the terminal portions (133, 153) are inclined with respect to an imaginary plane (P) orthogonal to a contact arranging direction (D).
Claims10
A connector comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of contacts that are formed by at least blanking an elastic metal plate, and are held by said housing in a predetermined arranging direction,
- said contacts each including a contact portion which is brought into contact with a first object to be connected, a terminal portion which is connected to a second object to be connected, and a connecting portion which connects said contact portion and said terminal portion,
- wherein portions of said connecting portions and said terminal portions of at least part of the plurality of contacts are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to an imaginary surface orthogonal to the arranging direction so as not to interfere with other adjacent ones of said contacts during blanking.
