Connector, and header and socket included in the same

摘要

In a connector, a socket fitting portion of the socket housing and a header fitting portion of the header housing are fitted to each other to bring socket and header terminals and into contact with each other. In the socket housing, a socket terminal group including the plural socket terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction of the socket housing is provided only in a single line. In the header housing, a header terminal group including the plural header terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction of the header housing is provided only in a single line. It is, therefore, possible to minimize the connector in the width direction.

主权项

1. A connector, comprising:
a socket including a substantially rectangular socket housing provided with socket terminals; and a header including a substantially rectangular header housing provided with header terminals, the socket and header terminals being brought into contact with each other by fitting a socket fitting portion of the socket to a header fitting portion of the header, wherein the socket housing is provided with a socket terminal group forming only a single line, the socket terminal group including the plurality of socket terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction of the socket housing; the header housing is provided with a header terminal group forming only a single line, the header terminal group including the plurality of header terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction of the header housing; each of the socket terminals and the header terminal corresponding thereto, respectively, include a socket main contact portion and a header main contact portion, at least one of which is elastically deformable and which come into contact with each other; the socket terminal group includes the plurality of socket terminals including the socket terminals with the socket main contact portions located on one side in the width direction of the socket housing and the socket terminals with the socket main contact portions located on the other side which are alternately provided; the header fitting portion of the header housing includes a header wide portion in the outside in the longitudinal direction, of a region where the header terminal group is provided, the header wide portion being wider than the region where the header terminal group is provided; and the socket fitting portion of the socket housing includes a socket wide portion in a region corresponding to the header wide portion, the socket wide portion being wider than the region where the socket terminal group is provided.
