Abstract

A connection device includes a conductive first counterpart terminal formed into a tubular shape with one side in a first direction open and the other side blocked, a conductive relay terminal provided inside the first counterpart terminal, an interposition member provided inside the first counterpart terminal, and interposed between the first counterpart terminal and the relay terminal with respect to intersection directions, an elastic member provided inside the first counterpart terminal, interposed between a blocked end portion that is an end portion on the blocked side of the first counterpart terminal and the relay terminal 31 with respect to the first direction, and elastically deformable along the first direction, and a second counterpart terminal that is a conductive terminal different from the first counterpart terminal and coming in contact with an end portion on an opposite side of the elastic member side of the relay terminal.

Claims (15)

1. A connection device comprising:

a conductive first counterpart terminal formed into a tubular shape, one side of the first counterpart terminal in a first direction being opened and the other side thereof being blocked;

a conductive relay terminal provided inside the first counterpart terminal and formed extending along the first direction;

a conductive interposition member provided inside the first counterpart terminal, interposed between the first counterpart terminal and the relay terminal with respect to an intersection direction intersecting with the first direction, and being in contact with the first counterpart terminal and the relay terminal;

an elastic member provided inside the first counterpart terminal, interposed between the relay terminal and a blocked end portion that is an end portion on the blocked side of the first counterpart terminal with respect to the first direction, and elastically deformable along the first direction; and

a second counterpart terminal that is a conductive terminal different from the first counterpart terminal, and coming in contact with an end portion on an opposite side of a side of the elastic member of the relay terminal with respect to the first direction, wherein

the elastic member includes a resin member to be filled between the blocked end portion and the relay terminal.

2. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the relay terminal and the second counterpart terminal includes a connection surface planarly formed along the intersection direction intersecting with the first direction, and coming in contact with the other of the relay terminal or the second counterpart terminal.

3. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first counterpart terminal configures a first connector to be provided in a first device, and

the second counterpart terminal configures a second connector to be provided in a second device different from the first device.

4. The connection device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first counterpart terminal configures a first connector to be provided in a first device, and

the second counterpart terminal configures a second connector to be provided in a second device different from the first device.
