Fluorescent tube connector device, light source device, and display

A light source device comprising:

• a fluorescent tube connector device, said fluorescent tube connector device having a plurality of connection terminals corresponding to a plurality of electrode pins provided at one end of a fluorescent tube,
• wherein,
• said plurality of connection terminals are fixed by a molded case, and said molded case has a rib for insulating said plurality of connection terminals from each other,
• at least one of said plurality of connection terminals is an elastic hook-shaped terminal, and a space through which a curved inside surface of said hook shape and said rib of said molded case are opposed to each other is a space into which said electrode pin is inserted, and
• an upper end of said rib is higher than an upper end of each of said plurality of connection terminals, so as to prevent said upper ends of said plurality of connection terminals from coming into contact with one another.

A display comprising a light source device, wherein said light source device has a fluorescent tube connector device, said fluorescent tube connector device having a plurality of connection terminals corresponding to a plurality of electrode pins provided at one end of a fluorescent tube,

• wherein,
• said plurality of connection terminals are fixed by a molded case, and said molded case has a rib for insulating said plurality of connection terminals from each other,
• at least one of said plurality of connection terminals is an elastic hook-shaped terminal, and a space through which a curved inside surface of said hook shape and said rib of said molded case are opposed to each other is a space into which said electrode pin is inserted, and
• an upper end of said rib is higher than an upper end of each of said plurality of connection terminals, so as to prevent said upper ends of said plurality of connection terminals from coming into contact with one another.
