Patent ID: 7081011

Claim:
A connector, for use with a board and an electrical device, the connector comprising: a positioning mechanism for determining an attachment position of the connector on the board so that an electrical connection is effected between the board and the electrical device; and a clamping mechanism for clamping said board in the attachment position determined by said positioning mechanism with such pressing force that said connector will not break away from said prescribed position under conditions of ordinary use; wherein said positioning mechanism comprises a board insertion part for effecting electrical connection between an inserted board and the electrical device, and said board insertion part and said clamping mechanism are deployed inside a main body; wherein said inserted board is electrically connected to said electrical device through an electrical connection mechanism that reaches from said board insertion part to a jack for insertion of a plug of said electrical device, said jack is one or a plurality of pin jacks, and wherein said pin jack comprises an outer contact forming an outer shape thereof and an insulator deployed on an inner circumferential side of an interior space defined by said outer contact, and said electrical connection mechanism comprises said outer contact and a center contact that reaches from an inner circumferential side of said insulator to a vicinity of an opening of said board insertion part.
