CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector is mountable on an object in an up-down direction and mateable with a mating connector along a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The mating connector comprises a plurality of first mating contacts and a plurality of second mating contacts. The connector comprises a holding member, a first collection of first contacts and a second collection of second contacts. Each of the first contacts has a first contact portion, a first fixed portion and a first coupling portion. The first contact portions are brought into contact with the first mating contacts, respectively. Each of the second contacts has a second contact portion, a second fixed portion and a second coupling portion. The second contact portions are brought into contact with the second mating contacts, respectively. When the connector is seen along the front-rear direction, the first coupling portions of the first contacts of the first collection and the second coupling portions of the second contacts of the second collection overlap with each other. The second coupling portion intersects with both the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

1. A connector mountable on an object in an up-down direction and mateable with a mating connector along a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, wherein:
the mating connector comprises a plurality of first mating contacts and a plurality of second mating contacts; the connector comprises a holding member, a first collection of first contacts and a second collection of second contacts; each of the first contacts has a first contact portion, a first fixed portion and a first coupling portion; the first contact portions are brought into contact with the first mating contacts, respectively; the first fixed portion is to be fixed to the object; the first coupling portion couples the first contact portion and the first fixed portion with each other; the first contact portion is formed with a first press-fit portion; the first contact portion is press-fit into the holding member to be held by the holding member; the first contact portions of the first contacts of the first collection are arranged in a row in a pitch direction perpendicular to both the front-rear direction and the up-down direction; the first fixed portions of the first contacts of the first collection are arranged in a row in the pitch direction; the row of the first fixed portions is positioned rearward of the row of the first contact portions in the front-rear direction and is positioned downward of the row of the first contact portions in the up-down direction; in the pitch direction, a position of the row of the first fixed portions and a position of the row of the first contact portions are deviated from each other and overlap with each other; each of the second contacts has a second contact portion, a second fixed portion and a second coupling portion; the second contact portions are brought into contact with the second mating contacts, respectively; the second fixed portion is to be fixed to the object; the second coupling portion couples the second contact portion and the second fixed portion with each other; the second contact portion is formed with a second press-fit portion; the second contact portion is press-fit into the holding member to be held by the holding member; the second contact portions of the second contacts of the second collection are arranged in a row in the pitch direction; the second fixed portions of the second contacts of the second collection are arranged in a row in the pitch direction; the row of the second fixed portions is positioned rearward of the row of the second contact portions in the front-rear direction and is positioned downward of the row of the second contact portions in the up-down direction; in the pitch direction, a position of the row of the second fixed portions and a position of the row of the second contact portions are deviated from each other and overlap with each other; the row of the second contact portions of the second contacts of the second collection is positioned downward of the row of the first contact portions in the up-down direction; the row of the first fixed portions and the row of the second fixed portions are arranged in the pitch direction and do not overlap with each other when the connector is seen along the front-rear direction; when the connector is seen along the front-rear direction, the first coupling portions of the first contacts of the first collection and the second coupling portions of the second contacts of the second collection overlap with each other; and the second coupling portion intersects with both the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.
