Abstract

In a connector including a connection portion that is compressed between connection object members (F and F′) and that conductively connects the connection object members (F and F′) to each other, and a base portion that is connected to the connection portion and that forms a recess therein, the connection portion includes a plurality of conductive portions, each conductive portion having conductors arranged in a thickness direction and two electrode planes each in contact with the corresponding one of the connection object members (F and F′), and a retaining portion that retains the conductive portion, the base portion including erect walls and a top wall portion so as to form a recess in the erect walls and the top wall portion, the base portion including, in the recess, partition walls so as to form accommodation portions that accommodate projecting parts (S) connected to the connection object member (F′).

Claims (29)

1. A connector, comprising:

a connection portion that is compressed between connection object members and that conductively connects the connection object members to each other; and

a base portion that is connected to the connection portion and that forms a recess therein, wherein

the connection portion includes

a plurality of conductive portions, each conductive portion having conductors arranged in a thickness direction and having two electrode planes each in contact with the corresponding connection object member, and

a retaining portion that retains the conductive portion,

the base portion includes an erect wall and a top wall portion so as to form a recess in the erect wall and the top wall portion,

the base portion includes, in the recess, a parts corresponding surface that extends along a projecting part connected to the corresponding connection object member so as to form an accommodation portion that accommodates the projecting part, and

each of the electrode planes having an inclination/bend surface corresponding to a shape of a connection surface of the corresponding connection object member in a free state from the connection object members.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the base portion is thicker than a thickness of the connection portion.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

a surface of the top wall portion is an inclination/bend corresponding surface that is inclined or bent along a shape of a connection surface of the corresponding connection object member that is to be connected.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductive portions protrude from the retaining portion in the thickness direction.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

a surface of the retaining portion is an inclination/bend corresponding surface that is inclined or bent along shapes of connection surfaces of the connection object members that are to be connected.

6. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the electrode planes on a same surface side of the plurality of conductive portions are disposed on an inclination or a bent surface that continuously extends along an inclination or a bent surface shape of a connection surface of the corresponding connection object member.

7. A connector that is compressed between connection object members and that conductively connects the connection object members to each other, the connector comprising:

a plurality of conductive portions, each conductive portion having conductors arranged in a thickness direction and having two electrode planes each in contact with the corresponding connection object member; and

a retaining portion that retains the conductive portion, wherein

each of the electrode planes having an inclination/bend surface corresponding to a shape of a connection surface of the corresponding connection object member in a free state from the connection object members.

8. The connector according to claim 7 , wherein

the conductive portions protrude from the retaining portion in the thickness direction.

9. The connector according to claim 7 , wherein

a surface of the retaining portion is an inclination/bend corresponding surface that is inclined or bent along shapes of connection surfaces of the connection object members that are to be connected.

10. The connector according to claim 7 , wherein

the electrode planes on a same surface side of the plurality of conductive portions are disposed on an inclination or a bent surface that continuously extends along an inclination or a bent surface shape of a connection surface of the corresponding connection object member.
