Abstract
An interface section 200 of a structure 100 includes a plurality of contacts 120, each of the contacts having a contact portion 122 and a spring portion 126 which supports the contact portion 122 so that the contact portion 122 is displaceable in an up-down direction. The contact portions 122 of the contacts 120 are arranged in a pitch direction (X direction), and reinforcement portions 166 are positioned between the contact portions 122, respectively. The structure reinforces a side portion of the contact portion 122. Therefore, even if the contact portion 122 receives a force along the pitch direction (X direction), damage of the contact 120 can be prevented.
Claims10
A structure comprising:
- a plurality of contacts each having a contact portion and a spring portion supporting the contact portion so that the contact portion is displaceable along an up-down direction, each of the contact portions having two reinforced portions;
- a holder member holding the plurality of contacts so that the plurality of contacts are arranged in a pitch direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and that side surfaces of the reinforced portions of neighboring one of the contact portions face each other in the pitch direction;
- a reinforcement member having a reinforcement portion, the reinforcement portion is positioned between the neighboring contact portions when the reinforcement member is positioned at an initial position, so as to reinforce, at least in part, the reinforced portions facing each other;
- and
- urging means for urging the reinforcement member to move towards the initial position.
