Connector
A connector includes a movable housing, a fixed housing, plural signal terminals, and a pair of power source terminals. Each of the power source terminals is formed in an elongated shape with a length in a span direction as viewed along an insertion/removal direction, spans between a pair of sidewalls, includes a span direction intermediate portion retained by a terminal array direction end portion of the movable housing, and includes second elastic portions each capable of undergoing elastic deformation at a location positioned between the movable housing and the pair of sidewalls.
1. A connector comprising:
a fixed housing that is fixed to a circuit board;
a movable housing that is movable relative to the fixed housing and that includes a hole through which a connection target is inserted;
a plurality of signal terminals that span between the fixed housing and the movable housing and that are arrayed in a terminal array direction that is orthogonal to an insertion/removal direction of the connection target;
a power source terminal that is disposed between the fixed housing and the movable housing, wherein:
each of the signal terminals includes a first connection portion that is fixed to the circuit board, a first contact portion that is electrically connected to the connection target, and a first elastic portion that is positioned between the first connection portion and the first contact portion;
the power source terminal includes a second connection portion that is fixed to the circuit board, a second contact portion that is electrically connected to the connection target, and a second elastic portion that is positioned between the second connection portion and the second contact portion;
the movable housing includes a pair of sidewalls facing each other across the hole from a direction that is orthogonal to the insertion/removal direction and the terminal array direction, and a pair of coupling walls facing each other across the hole from the terminal array direction and connecting ends of the pair of sidewalls in the terminal array direction; and
the second contact portion is held on a side surface of one of the coupling walls in the terminal array direction.
2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second contact portion is configured to form an electrical contact with the connection target and to undergo elastic deformation toward the plurality of signal terminals; and
one of the coupling walls is formed with a housing recess opening toward an outer side in the terminal array direction and configured to house at least a part of the second contact portion.
3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein one of the coupling walls is formed with a spring housing recess opening toward an outer side in the direction orthogonal to the insertion/removal direction and the terminal array direction.
