Patent ID: 7004760

Claim:
A connector used for connecting a plurality of first terminals formed on a first electronic part to a plurality of respective second terminals formed on a second electronic part said connector comprising: a substantially-rigid sheet-like intermediate basis material having a spring characteristic; a plurality of first electrically conductive members provided on a first surface of said intermediate basis material, ones of said first electrically conductive members being respectively arranged at positions substantially corresponding to ones of said first terminals: a plurality of second electrically conductive members provided on a second surface of said intermediate basis material the second surface being the opposite surface of the first surface, ones of said second electrically conductive members being respectively arranged at positions substantially corresponding to ones of said second terminals; and wiring formed on said intermediate basis material to respectively connect ones of said first electrically conductive members to ones of said second electrically conductive members, wherein, when said connector is inserted between said first electronic part and said second electronic part and a load is applied to bias said first electronic part and said second electronic part toward each other, said intermediate basis material is deformed due to said spring characteristic, whereby ones of said first electrically conductive members are placed in contact with corresponding ones of said first terminals and ones of said second electrically conductive members are placed in contact with corresponding ones of said second terminals, such that ones of said first terminals are electrically connected to corresponding ones of said second terminals; and a frame portion secured to said first electronic part or said second electronic part, to support said intermediate basis material at a predetermined position.
