<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector provided with a structure of preventing ink from being retained in the vicinity of a bending part of a contact arm on an ink cartridge side. <P>SOLUTION: This is the connector provided with a plurality of metallic contacts 33 supported mutually in parallel with a housing 31, in which the respective contacts have a first contact arm 41 and a second contact arm 43, and in which the respective contact terminals 45, 47 of these both contact arms are elastically contacted respectively with a conductive connection part 10 of a first member and the conductive connection part 12 of a second member arranged respectively on both sides of a housing and in which electric conduction between the first member and the second member is realized. A small through hole 53 to penetrate the housing is formed near a contact terminal at a separation starting position from the housing of the respective first contact arms, and the separation starting position from the housing of the second contact arm is positioned farther away from the separation starting position of the first contact arm against the small through hole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
