Abstract
A connector includes a connector case and probe pins that are arranged two-dimensionally in the connector case. Each of the probe pins includes a housing, a first contact terminal disposed at one end of the housing, a second contact terminal disposed at another end of the housing, and plural bent parts formed in the housing and protruding outward from a surface of the housing. The connector case includes through holes. Each of the through holes accommodates the probe pin and includes grooves that are formed in its inner surface and correspond to the bent parts. The grooves of each through hole face substantially the same directions as the grooves of other through holes.
Claims7
A connector, comprising:
- a connector case;
- and
- probe pins that are arranged two-dimensionally in the connector case, wherein
- each of the probe pins includes a housing, a first contact terminal disposed at one end of the housing, a second contact terminal disposed at another end of the housing, and plural bent parts formed in the housing and protruding outward from a surface of the housing, said plural bent parts being integrally formed with the housing as one unit;
- the connector case includes through holes formed therein, each of the through holes accommodating the probe pin and including grooves formed in an inner surface thereof, and each of the grooves corresponding to the bent part;
- and
- the grooves of each through hole face substantially same directions as the grooves of other through holes.
A connector, comprising:
- a connector case;
- and
- probe pins that are arranged two-dimensionally in the connector case, wherein
- each of the probe pins includes a housing, a first contact terminal disposed at one end of the housing, a second contact terminal disposed at another end of the housing, and three bent parts formed in the housing and protruding outward from a surface of the housing, said three bent parts being integrally formed with the housing as one unit;
- the connector case includes through holes formed therein, each of the through holes accommodating the probe pin and including grooves formed in an inner surface thereof, and each of the grooves corresponding to the bent part;
- and
- the through holes are arranged in the connector case in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction such that
- the grooves of the through holes arranged in the first direction face substantially a same direction, and
- the grooves of adjacent through holes arranged in the second direction face substantially opposite directions.
A connector, comprising:
- a connector case;
- and
- probe pins that are arranged two-dimensionally in the connector case, wherein
- each of the probe pins includes a housing, a first contact terminal disposed at one end of the housing, a second contact terminal disposed at another end of the housing, and four bent parts formed in the housing and protruding outward from a surface of the housing, said four bent parts being integrally formed with the housing as one unit;
- the connector case includes through holes formed therein, each of the through holes accommodating the probe pin and including grooves formed in an inner surface thereof, and each of the grooves corresponding to the bent part;
- and
- the through holes are arranged in the connector case such that the grooves of a first through hole face directions that are different from directions of the grooves of a second through hole closest to the first through hole.
