Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: A connector connection structure includes a first connector
supported on a holder and a second connector connectable to the
first connector. The holder has support portions in the form
of U-shaped grooves, for supporting the first connector such
that the first connector is slidable in a direction of
connection of the first and second connectors relative to each
other. Swingable levers are swingably supported between the
holder and the first connector, and there are provided drive
portions that swingingly displace the swingable levers in
response to the sliding movement of the first connector.
Operating portions are also provided to increase driving forces
of the swingable levers, and transmit the driving forces to the
second connector, thereby driving the two connectors in a
direction to connect the two connectors together.

Abstract: A first partial circuit is formed by grounding
the emitter electrode of a first negative differential
resistive element (1), connecting the emitter electrode of a
second negative differential resistive element (2) to the
collector electrode of the first negative differential
resistive element (1), and connecting a first field-effect
