A terminal includes a spine extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end and extending along a lateral axis, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, from a first edge to a second edge. An attachment portion at the first end provides fixation to an electrical conductor. A contact portion extends from the second end and cantilevers over the spine such that the contact portion is spaced apart from the spine in a direction along a vertical axis which is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis. A locking tab extends from the first edge and has a locking tab attachment end which is fixed to first edge and which extends toward, and is aligned with, the contact portion in a direction parallel to the vertical axis. The locking tab also has a free end which flares outward beyond contact portion.

A card connector, a card holder, and a terminal device, where the card connector includes a plurality of first terminals and one or more second terminals. The first terminals are arranged to form a first card access area that installs a first card, and the first terminals are configured to be electrically coupled to the first card. The one or more second terminals are distributed on a periphery of the first card access area, the first terminals and the one or more second terminals form a second card access area that installs a second card, and the first terminals and the one or more second terminals are configured to be electrically coupled to the second card.

A window includes: a window frame having an opening defined therein through which an outdoor space and an indoor space communicate with each other; a pair of sashes slidably disposed in the window frame and that slide along an opening direction and a closing direction opposite to the opening direction; variable transmittance windowpanes configured to be fitted in the sashes to open and close the opening together with the sashes depending on sliding of the sashes; the variable transmittance windowpanes having a transmittance variable by electrical connection; first conductive members disposed on the sashes and electrically connected with the variable transmittance windowpanes to supply electric power to the variable transmittance windowpanes; and a second conductive member electrically connected with the first conductive members to supply the electric power to the first conductive members from outside the window frame.

An interposer configured for connecting arrays of signal pads on parallel surfaces is described. Contacts of the interposer are configured to provide multiple conductive paths. A first conductive path extends through the body of the contact. A second conductive path is formed in parallel to the first conductive path when the contact is compressed between opposed substrates. The contact includes an intermediate portion, a rigid portion laterally extending from the intermediate portion, and a pair of compliant arms extending from the intermediate portion in opposite directions along the mating axis. When the contact is compressed, both arms touch and form an electrical connection with the rigid portion. The presence of the rigid portion allows for a reduction in the length of the beams in tall contacts.

An electrical connector includes: an insulative base; a fixed terminal secured to the insulative base; and a movable terminal including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a connecting portion, a contacting portion in touch with the fixed terminal, a first and a second beams at two opposite sides of the connecting portion, and a tail, wherein at least one of the first and second beams has a first portion substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion and a second portion substantially parallel to the connecting portion.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, and multiple terminals and a base plate insert-molded with the insulating body. The insulating body has an outer side edge. Multiple grooves are concavely provided inward from the outer side edge. Two protruding blocks protrude toward each other and inward each of the grooves from two opposite sides of each of the grooves. The base plate has multiple strip connecting portions. Prior to the insert-molding, the strip connecting portions are integrally connected to a same strip. After the insert-molding, the strip connecting portions are broken from the strip, each strip connecting portion is located in a corresponding groove, and upper and lower surfaces of each strip connecting portion are exposed in the corresponding groove. The strip connecting portions do not exceed outward beyond the outer side edge. Two opposite sides of each strip connecting portion abut the two protruding blocks.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, multiple lower terminals, a conductive plate, and multiple upper terminals. Each lower terminal has a base portion. The lower terminals include lower signal terminals connected to the plate and lower ground terminals separated from the plate. The upper terminals include upper signal terminals and upper ground terminals. Each upper terminal has a fixing portion and an elastic arm. The fixing portion is located above and fixed to the base portion. A metal sheet exists between two adjacent fixing portions of the upper terminals in the left-right direction and separated from the upper signal terminals. The sheet is integrally connected with the upper ground terminals adjacent thereto in the left-right direction and is separated in the front-rear direction. The sheet is located above and fixed to the plate. The elastic arm is located right above the front upper terminal adjacent thereto or the sheet.

A connection structure is provided that has excellent high speed transmission performance while also having a positional misplacement accommodation function.

The connection structure includes a connection target, and a connector that contacts the connection target from a Z direction other side. The connection target includes an inner conductor portion, and an outer conductor portion that surrounds the inner conductor portion. The connector includes a signal terminal including a first connector contact portion, a shield member including a second connector contact portion, and a housing. The inner conductor portion includes an inner conductor contact portion capable of abutting against the first connector contact portion in the Z direction, and the outer conductor portion includes an outer conductor contact portion capable of abutting against the second connector contact portion in the Z direction.

An electrical connector including: an insulative housing defining plural passageways and plural contacts disposed in corresponding passageways, the contact having a base extending in a first vertical plane and a resilient contacting arm upwardly and obliquely extending from an upper end of the base, the resilient contacting arm having a bulged contacting section at a free end thereof, a retaining section sidewardly linked to one side edge of the base to retain the contact within the passageway, and a supporting section sidewardly linked to another side edge of the base with an upwardly and obliquely curved abutting section at an upper end thereof, wherein the abutting section is adapted to be outwardly deflected when the contacting arm is downwardly deflected to sidewardly press the abutting section.
