Abstract:
1. A female connector structure comprising: a plurality of pin insertion holes arranged in a row to correspond to a plurality of columnar connector pins arranged in a male connector section and adapted to receive the respective connector pins individually inserted thereinto, an opening side of the pin insertion hole is formed deeper than another side of the pin insertion hole; a pair of connector inner walls formed externally of the pin insertion holes of opposite ends so as to extend in a depth direction of the pin insertion holes; a pair of grooves each formed on an inner surface of the connector inner wall so as to be gradually shallower as the groove goes from an opening side of the pin insertion hole toward a deepest side thereof in such a manner as to receive a projection, fitted thereinto, provided on the male connector section, wherein the grooves are each formed triangular as viewed from a surface parallel to a plane extending through the pin insertion holes in a depth direction thereof, and wherein the projection enters a deeper side of the groove and moves toward a shallower side of the groove to electrically connect the male connector section and the female connector, the deep side having a larger gap between the groove and the projection and the shallower side having a small gap between the groove and the projection; a pair of connector bottom faces which are each located between each of the pin insertion holes of opposite ends and a corresponding one of the connector inner walls so as to extend in an arrangement direction of the pin insertion holes; wherein the connector bottom faces or the grooves are provided with a second restraining portion adapted to restrain part of the male connector section so as to suppress, to within +/−0.22 mm, the movement of the connector pins in the depth direction of the pin insertion holes in the state where the connector pins are inserted into the respective in insertion holes; and the connector inner walls or the grooves are provided with a third restraining portion adapted to restrain part of the male connector section so as to suppress, to within +/−0.22 mm, the movement of the connector pins in the arrangement direction of the pin insertion holes in the state where the connector pins are inserted into the respective pin insertion holes.
