A top end of the base is lower than top ends of the two clamping portions. When the two clamping portions jointly clamp the corresponding insertion portion, a portion of the corresponding insertion portion lower than the top ends of the clamping portions is located right above the base of an adjacent terminal.

[Problem] To provide a connector with improved reliability of electrical connection between a cable and a mating connector. [Resolution Means] A plurality of electrical contact terminals is provided on one side in a length direction and is provided with a first contact portion that is inserted into a support member and can contact a cable supported by this support member and a second contact portion that is provided on another side in the length direction and can contact terminal portions of a mating connector. A base member is provided with a bulkhead portion formed between a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion and a protruding wall portion protruding to the other side in the length direction from the bulkhead portion toward the second receiving portion. A plurality of channel portions that penetrates in the length direction and can receive the terminal portions of the mating connector is formed in the protruding wall portion and the bulkhead portion, the plurality of channel portions is formed so as to be separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the length direction, and the second contact portion of the plurality of electrical contact terminals is housed in the plurality of channel portions.

A wiring harness assembly includes a plurality of separated conductors formed of an electrically conductive material, a substrate formed of a dielectric material encasing the plurality of separated conductors, a location feature integrally formed with the substrate and an opening defined in the substrate having a predetermined size and shape. A section of the plurality of separated conductors is exposed within the opening. The opening is precisely located relative to the location feature.

A cable connection structure includes a cable, a sheet-like wiring member, and a cable junction connector. The cable junction connector includes a first fitting and a second fitting. A connection portion of the first fitting and a connection portion of the second fitting interlock with each other in a state in which a part of a conductor formed on the sheet-like wiring member is sandwiched between a plate portion of the first fitting and a plate portion of the second fitting. The first fitting has an insulation-displacement contact which includes an open-ended slot. The cable is forced into the open-ended slot. A direction in which the cable is forced into the open-ended slot is perpendicular to a direction in which the cable extends and is parallel to a direction in which the part of the conductor is sandwiched between the plate portion of the first fitting and the plate portion of the second fitting.

A connecting method includes: arranging the connection terminal such that a rear surface of a base portion in a flat plate shape of the connection terminal comes into contact with a front surface of the flexible substrate; with a rising portion of the connection terminal extending from the rear surface side of the base portion toward the base portion and a tip end bending portion of the connection terminal extending from a tip end of the rising portion in a direction inclined with respect to the rising portion, displacing the rising portion toward the base portion so that the tip end bending portion protrudes from a front surface of the base portion; and holding a part of the flexible substrate between a pressing portion formed at the rising portion and a pressed portion formed at the base portion, whereby the conductive portion of the flexible substrate is electrically connected to at least one of the pressing portion and the pressed portion.

Provided is a connector that can enhance the waterproof performance without reducing a pressure of a contact surface between fillers in a fitted state. A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes a pair of fitting objects to be fitted to each other and a filler (70), a contact (50) and a wall (42) provided in the fitting objects. The wall (42) separates the filler (70) and the contact (50) after the fitting objects are fitted to each other.

A connector includes a first member and a second member sandwiching an attachment portion of a garment having a conductive member, the first member having a first garment retaining portion to be contacted with one surface of the attachment portion and a projection made of a conductive material and disposed in a position different from the first garment retaining portion to project in a direction perpendicular to the first garment retaining portion, the second member having a second garment retaining portion to be contacted with the other surface of the attachment portion and a projection accommodating portion disposed in a position different from the second garment retaining portion, the projection having a slit extending in the direction perpendicular to the first garment retaining portion, and when the projection is fitted into the projection accommodating portion, the projection is electrically connected to the conductive member.

A connector for receiving a ribbon cable is provided. The connector includes a housing including an open top and a guide wall including a track and a cable organizer configured to be positioned within an interior of the housing and the open top and to receive the ribbon cable along a surface thereof. The connector also includes a cover configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the cable organizer within the interior of the housing. The cover includes a rib configured to slide along the track so that the cover moves relative to the housing along a linear trajectory.

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for a single pair Ethernet (SPE) wire-to-board connector. The SPE connector may include a female connector portion and a male connector portion. The female connector portion may include a first electrical contact having a first press-fit pin and a first female portion, a second electrical contact having a second press-fit pin and a second female portion, and a first outer shield, the first outer shield mechanically secured to the first insulative housing. The first and second electrical contacts may be positioned partially within the first insulative housing. The male connector portion includes a third electrical contact comprising a first insulation displacement contact (IDC) portion and a first male portion, a fourth electrical contact comprising a second DC portion and a second male portion, and a second outer shield, the second outer shield mechanically secured to a second insulative housing.
