A backshell assembly with a strain relief member. The backshell assembly includes an enclosure member for positioning over a connector. The enclosure member has a wire receiving portion which extends from a surface of the enclosure member. A strain relief mounting member extends from the enclosure. The strain relief member is movably mounted to the strain relief mounting member. The strain relief member is movable between 0 degrees and 90 degrees as measured between a center axis a wire mounting opening of the wire receiving portion to a center axis of a wire receiving opening of the strain relief member.

An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.

When a connection object is connected to a connector, an upper jaw portion of a first terminal presses an upper contact point against an upper signal line. Hence a lower signal line is pressed against a lower contact point so that a contact point support portion is pressed against a stop portion of a housing. At least a part of force applied to the stop portion acts as force to deform downward an upper wall of a receiving portion for receiving a lower jaw portion of the first terminal. A reinforcing portion of the lower jaw portion of the first terminal reinforces the upper wall from beneath. Since strength necessary for the upper wall can be reduced, the housing can be downsized and thus the connector can be downsized.

A printed wiring board (1) includes: a base substrate (3); a plurality of pads (15a, 17a) for electrical connection that are disposed at one surface side of the base substrate (3) and at a connection end portion (13) to be connected with another electronic component (50); wirings (9, 11) that are connected with the pads (15a, 17a); and engageable parts (28, 29) that are formed at side edge parts of the connection end portion (13) and are to be engaged with engagement parts (58) of the other electronic component (50) in the direction of disconnection. The flexible printed wiring board (1) further includes reinforcement layers (31, 32) that are disposed at the other surface side of the base substrate (3) and at a frontward side with respect to the engageable parts (28, 29) when viewed in the direction of connection with the other electronic component, and that are formed separately from the wirings (9, 11).

An electrical connector includes a housing, contact elements and locking members attached to the housing. The housing has a front end, a back end, a top side, a bottom side and a cavity between the top side and the bottom side. The cavity is to partially receive a circuit board therein. Each contact element is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. Each locking member is insertable into the housing along a direction from the bottom side towards the top side. The upper and lower contact arms and the lock arm are resiliently deflectable away from the cavity to allow insertion of the circuit board into the cavity, and spring back when the circuit board is inserted into the cavity to make electrical connection to the circuit board and to lock the circuit board in the housing.
