Abstract

Abstract An operation assuring structure of an electronic circuit board in a connector for the electronic circuit board including an insert plate portion disposed on an end portion of an electronic circuit board and adapted to be inserted into a receiving port of a connector, a plurality of signal electronic pads arranged on a surface of the insert plate portion, and a plurality of signal contacts disposed within the receiving port of the connector and adapted to be contacted to the signal electrode pads, wherein a cut-off grounding contact, which is not conductive to the electronic circuit board, is interposed between the signal contacts within the receiving port, and the cut-off grounding contact has a length dimension enough to extend in parallel to the signal contacts and to interpose a distal end thereof between the signal electrode pads on the insert plate portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
An operation assuring structure of an electronic circuit board in a connector including an insert plate portion disposed on an end portion of the electronic circuit board and adapted to be inserted into a receiving port of the connector, a plurality of signal electronic pads arranged on a surface of said insert plate portion, and a plurality of signal contacts disposed within said receiving port of said connector and adapted to be contacted to said signal electrode pads, wherein a cut-off grounding contact, which is not electrically connected to said electronic circuit board, is interposed between said signal contacts within said receiving port, and said cut-off grounding contact has a length dimension enough to extend in parallel to said signal contacts and to interpose a distal end thereof between said signal electrode pads on said insert plate portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 138 words
An operation assuring structure of an electronic circuit board in a connector including an insert plate portion disposed on an end portion of the electronic circuit board and adapted to be inserted into a receiving port of the connector, a plurality of signal electronic pads arranged on a surface of said insert plate portion, and a plurality of signal contacts disposed within said receiving port of said connector and adapted to be contacted to said signal electrode pads, wherein a cut-off grounding contact, which is not electrically connected to said electronic circuit board, is interposed between said signal contacts within said receiving port, and said cut-off grounding contact has a length dimension enough to extend in parallel to said signal contacts and to interpose a distal end thereof between said signal electrode pads on said insert plate portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
The operation assuring structure of an electronic circuit board in a connector for said electronic circuit board according to claim 1, wherein the distal end of said cut-off grounding contact is isolated with respect to a surface of said insert plate portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
The operation assuring structure of an electronic circuit board in a connector for said electronic circuit board according to claim 1, wherein said cut-off signal contact is identical in configuration as said signal contacts.
