Abstract
A connector includes a conductive member having a mating portion that is matable with a mating connector in a first direction. The mating portion includes a first part having a first end and a second part having a second end opposed to the first end in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction so as to form an annular portion. The first end and the second end form an opposed-end portion in which one of the first end and the second end is brought into contact with another of the first end and the second end to receive a force applied to the mating portion in a diagonal direction oblique to the first direction.
Claims8
A connector comprising:
- a conductive member having a mating portion matable with a mating connector in a first direction, the mating portion including a first part having a first end and a second part having a second end opposed to the first end in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction so as to form an annular portion,
- wherein the first end and the second end form an opposed-end portion,
- wherein the first end and the second end have a receiver edge and a counter edge, respectively, and
- wherein, even when a force is applied to the mating portion in a diagonal direction oblique to the first direction, the receiver edge receives the counter edge to reduce a possibility that the force deforms the annular portion.
