Abstract
In one aspect, provided is an electrical connector that can improve reliability of signal connection by ensuring insulation between adjacent terminals. In one aspect, connector housing 2 has front housing 3 and rear housing 4 that are combined together during assembly and that have respective partition walls 10 and 11 to define terminal accommodation chambers 8 and 9, respectively, and wherein movable wall 15 is provided to extend from partition wall 11 of rear housing 4 to displace and connect to partition wall 10 of front housing 3 when both housings 3 and 4 are combined together.
Claims5
An electrical connector comprising:
- a plurality of first electrically conductive terminals arranged at a first terminal pitch;
- a plurality of second terminals arranged at a second terminal pitch different from the first terminal pitch;
- and
- a plurality of third electrically conductive terminals, each third terminal being disposed between and contacting corresponding first and second terminals, the third terminals adjusting the pitch between the first and second terminals, wherein each third terminal comprises a cable connection part contacting a corresponding second terminal, a pitch adjustment part contacting a corresponding first terminal, and a bending part bending downward from the cable connection part and contacting the pitch adjustment part, and wherein the third terminals have the same shape cable connection parts and the same shape bending parts and different shape pitch adjustment parts.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a plurality of first electrically conductive terminals arranged at a first pitch;
- a plurality of electrically non-conductive cable connection parts arranged at a second pitch different from the first pitch, each cable connection part having a spring force;
- and
- a plurality of second electrically conductive terminals, each second terminal being disposed between and contacting corresponding first terminal and cable connection part, the second terminals adjusting the pitch between the first terminals and the cable connection parts, such that a cable inserted into the connector making electrical contact with a second terminal is held in place by the spring force of the cable connection part corresponding to the second terminal.
