This is appropriate when each part of the socket 10 has the posture shown in the figure, but when the posture changes, it should be interpreted according to the change in posture. .

そして、前記ソケット10は、ポリイミド等の合成樹脂のような絶縁性材料によって一体的に形成されたシート状の端子支持部材11、及び、該端子支持部材11によって支持される接続端子14を備える。なお、前記端子支持部材11は厚さ方向に貫通する円形の端子収容孔12を備え、前記接続端子14は端子収容孔12に配設されている。ここで、前記接続端子14は、図2(b)に示されるように、一対の端子部材15a及び15bを背中合せに組合せて成るものである。そして、端子部材15a及び15bの先端部は、端子支持部材11から外方へ突出する。なお、前記接続端子14の配列は、第1接続対象装置21及び第2接続対象装置22の端子の配列に対応するものであるが、図示される例においては、通常の半導体装置の端子の配列に対応させて、約1〔mm〕のピッチで格子状に配列されている。また、図示される例において、接続端子14の数は25本であるが、1枚の端子支持部材11が備える接続端子14の数は、例えば、6000本以上であってもよい。   The socket 10 includes a sheet-like terminal support member 11 integrally formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin such as polyimide, and a connection terminal 14 supported by the terminal support member 11.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2B, the connection terminal 14 is formed by combining a pair of terminal members 15a and 15b back to back. And the front-end | tip part of the terminal members 15a and 15b protrudes outward from the terminal support member 11. FIG. Note that the arrangement of the connection terminals 14 corresponds to the arrangement of the terminals of the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22, but in the illustrated example, the arrangement of terminals of a normal semiconductor device. Are arranged in a lattice pattern at a pitch of about 1 [mm]. In the illustrated example, the number of connection terminals 14 is 25, but the number of connection terminals 14 included in one terminal support member 11 may be, for example, 6000 or more.

次に、前記接続端子14の構成について詳細に説明する。   Next, the configuration of the connection terminal 14 will be described in detail.

図3は本発明の実施の形態における接続端子を示す斜視図、図4は本発明の実施の形態における接続端子の二面図、図5は本発明の実施の形態における端子部材を示す斜視図である。なお、図4(a)は上面図、図4(b)は側面図である。   3 is a perspective view showing a connection terminal in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a two-side view of the connection terminal in the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a terminal member in the embodiment of the present invention. It is. 4A is a top view and FIG. 4B is a side view.

図3は、図1に示されるような端子収容孔12に配設されている接続端子14のうちの1つを拡大した図であり、端子収容孔12内において、端子部材15a及び15bが互いに背中合せに重ねられた状態を示している。そして、端子部材15aは、ほぼ円形環状で平板状の周縁部18a、並びに、周縁から中心に向かって渦を巻き、中心に近付くほど曲率半径が小さくなるように形成された一対の渦巻部材16a及び17aを有する。なお、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aは、周縁側の根本部が周縁部18aに接続され、中心側の先端部が自由端となっている。そして、図4(a)に明確に示されるように、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aは、同一方向に渦を巻くが、互いに位相が180度相違するように配設され、二重渦巻形状となっている。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of one of the connection terminals 14 disposed in the terminal accommodating hole 12 as shown in FIG. 1. In the terminal accommodating hole 12, the terminal members 15 a and 15 b are mutually connected. It shows a state of being stacked back to back. The terminal member 15a has a substantially circular annular plate-shaped peripheral edge portion 18a, and a pair of spiral members 16a formed so that a radius of curvature decreases as the distance from the peripheral edge approaches the center increases. 17a. In addition, the spiral members 16a and 17a have a peripheral base portion connected to the peripheral portion 18a and a central tip portion that is a free end. As clearly shown in FIG. 4 (a), the spiral members 16a and 17a spiral in the same direction, but are arranged so that the phases are 180 degrees different from each other, resulting in a double spiral shape. ing.

また、図5に示されるように、周縁部18aは、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aの根本部が接続される近傍に、一体的に形成され、半径方向に膨出する平板状の膨出部19aを備える。該膨出部19aは、図示される例において、2つであるが、1つであってもよいし、3つ以上であってもよいし、適宜、省略することもできる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral edge portion 18a is integrally formed in the vicinity where the root portions of the spiral members 16a and 17a are connected, and a flat plate-like bulging portion 19a bulging in the radial direction. Is provided. The number of the bulging portions 19a is two in the illustrated example, but may be one, three or more, or may be omitted as appropriate.

ここで、前記端子部材15aは、ベリリウム銅のような銅合金、ステンレス鋼のような鉄合金等の導電性及び弾性を備える金属板から形成されている。例えば、金属板に打抜加工を施したり、エッチングを行ったりすることによって、周縁部18a、一対の渦巻部材16a及び17a、並びに、膨出部19aを備える二重渦巻形状の平板部材を形成することができる。そして、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部を同一方向に向けて移動させ、二重渦巻形状の平板部材の一方の面から突出するように塑性変形させる。これにより、図5に示されるように、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端が周縁部18aよりも上方に突出するように形成された端子部材15aを得ることができる。この場合、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端は、図4(b)に示されるように、端子支持部材11の上面より外方へ突出する程度に、周縁部18aよりも上方に突出する。なお、渦巻部材16a及び17aは、テーパ形状のコイルスプリングと同様の形状となるので、突出方向に関して弾性的に伸縮可能となる。   Here, the terminal member 15a is formed of a metal plate having conductivity and elasticity such as a copper alloy such as beryllium copper and an iron alloy such as stainless steel. For example, by punching or etching a metal plate, a double spiral flat plate member including a peripheral edge portion 18a, a pair of spiral members 16a and 17a, and a bulging portion 19a is formed. be able to. And the front-end | tip part of the spiral members 16a and 17a is moved toward the same direction, and is plastically deformed so that it may protrude from one surface of a double spiral shaped flat plate member. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to obtain the terminal member 15a formed such that the tips of the spiral members 16a and 17a protrude upward from the peripheral edge portion 18a. In this case, the tips of the spiral members 16a and 17a protrude above the peripheral edge 18a to the extent that they protrude outward from the upper surface of the terminal support member 11, as shown in FIG. 4B. Since the spiral members 16a and 17a have the same shape as that of the tapered coil spring, the spiral members 16a and 17a can be elastically expanded and contracted in the protruding direction.

また、端子部材15bを形成する場合も、端子部材15aと同様に、周縁部18b、一対の渦巻部材16b及び17b、並びに、膨出部19bを備える二重渦巻形状の平板部材を形成する。この場合、周縁部18b、一対の渦巻部材16b及び17b、並びに、膨出部19bの形状は、前記周縁部18a、一対の渦巻部材16a及び17a、並びに、膨出部19aの形状と同一である。また、渦巻部材16b及び17bの渦を巻く向きも、渦巻部材16a及び17aの渦を巻く向きと同一である。しかし、渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部を移動させて突出するように塑性変形させる際には、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と反対の方向に向けて移動させ、二重渦巻形状の平板部材の他方の面から突出するように塑性変形させる。これにより、前記渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端は、図4(b)に示されるように、端子支持部材11の下面より外方へ突出する。なお、渦巻部材16b及び17bは、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aと同様に、突出方向に関して弾性的に伸縮可能となる。   Further, when the terminal member 15b is formed, similarly to the terminal member 15a, a double spiral flat plate member including a peripheral edge portion 18b, a pair of spiral members 16b and 17b, and a bulging portion 19b is formed. In this case, the peripheral edge portion 18b, the pair of spiral members 16b and 17b, and the bulging portion 19b have the same shape as the peripheral edge portion 18a, the pair of spiral members 16a and 17a, and the bulging portion 19a. . Further, the direction in which the spiral members 16b and 17b are wound is the same as the direction in which the spiral members 16a and 17a are wound. However, when the distal ends of the spiral members 16b and 17b are moved and plastically deformed so as to protrude, the spiral members 16a and 17a are moved in the opposite direction to the distal ends of the spiral members 16a and 17a, and the double spiral plate Plastic deformation is performed so as to protrude from the other surface of the member. As a result, the tips of the spiral members 16b and 17b protrude outward from the lower surface of the terminal support member 11, as shown in FIG. The spiral members 16b and 17b can be elastically expanded and contracted in the protruding direction, like the spiral members 16a and 17a.

このように、端子部材15a及び15bは、同一の二重渦巻形状の平板部材を使用し、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとを互いに反対方向に突出するように塑性変形させることによって、別々の部材として形成される。そのため、製造工程の大部分が同一となり、製造コストを抑制することができる。   Thus, the terminal members 15a and 15b use the same double spiral plate member and are plastically deformed so that the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b protrude in opposite directions. , Formed as separate members. Therefore, most of the manufacturing process is the same, and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

そして、端子部材15a及び15bを背中合せに、すなわち、一方の端子部材15aが備える一対の渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と、他方の端子部材15bが備える一対の渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部とが相互に反対方向に突出するように組合せることによって、接続端子14が形成される。この場合、図3に示されるように、平板状の周縁部18aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの突出方向と反対側の面、すなわち、平板状の周縁部18aの裏面と平板状の周縁部18bの裏面とを当接させて、端子部材15a及び15bを相互に導通させる。また、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとが周縁部18a及び18bの当接面に関して面対称となるように、端子部材15a及び15bを組合せる。これにより、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとは、同一の場所から上下方向に分岐するように配設される。   The terminal members 15a and 15b are back to back, that is, the tip portions of the pair of spiral members 16a and 17a provided in one terminal member 15a and the tip portions of the pair of spiral members 16b and 17b provided in the other terminal member 15b. Are connected so as to protrude in opposite directions to each other, whereby the connection terminal 14 is formed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the flat peripheral edge 18a opposite to the protruding direction of the spiral members 16a and 17a, that is, the back surface of the flat peripheral edge 18a and the flat peripheral edge 18b. The terminal members 15a and 15b are brought into conduction with each other by contacting the back surface. Further, the terminal members 15a and 15b are combined so that the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are plane-symmetric with respect to the contact surfaces of the peripheral edge portions 18a and 18b. Thus, the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are arranged so as to branch in the vertical direction from the same place.

ところで、前述のように接続端子14は端子支持部材11によって支持される。前記接続端子14と端子支持部材11とを接合する場合、まず、端子部材15a及び15bを各々別個のシート部材の一面に付着させる。ここで、前記シート部材は、端子支持部材11となる部材であり、例えば、ポリイミドから成る。また、前記シート部材には、端子収容孔12となる円形の貫通孔があらかじめ複数個形成されている。   By the way, the connection terminal 14 is supported by the terminal support member 11 as described above. When joining the connection terminal 14 and the terminal support member 11, first, the terminal members 15 a and 15 b are each attached to one surface of a separate sheet member. Here, the said sheet | seat member is a member used as the terminal support member 11, for example, consists of a polyimide. The sheet member is formed with a plurality of circular through holes to be the terminal receiving holes 12 in advance.

そして、シート部材の一方の面における各貫通孔の位置に各端子部材15aを付着させる。この場合、渦巻部材16a及び17aを貫通孔内に挿入し、板状の周縁部18aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの突出方向と同一側の面、すなわち、板状の周縁部18aの表面を前記シート部材の一方の面に付着させる。これにより、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端は前記シート部材の一方の面より外方へ突出する。なお、前記渦巻部材16a及び17aの渦巻きの中心と貫通孔の中心とが一致するように、端子部材15aの位置が調整される。   And each terminal member 15a is made to adhere to the position of each through-hole in one surface of a sheet | seat member. In this case, the spiral members 16a and 17a are inserted into the through holes, and the surface on the same side as the protruding direction of the spiral members 16a and 17a of the plate-shaped peripheral edge 18a, that is, the surface of the plate-shaped peripheral edge 18a is the sheet. Adhere to one side of the member. Thereby, the front ends of the spiral members 16a and 17a protrude outward from one surface of the sheet member. The position of the terminal member 15a is adjusted so that the spiral centers of the spiral members 16a and 17a coincide with the center of the through hole.

また、前記シート部材の材料が粘着性を備える場合には、周縁部18aの表面を前記シート部材の一方の面に押付けることによって、そのまま付着させることができる。なお、前記シート部材の材料が粘着性を備えていない場合等には、必要によって、粘着シートや接着剤を使用することができる。   Moreover, when the material of the said sheet member has adhesiveness, it can be made to adhere as it is by pressing the surface of the peripheral part 18a against one surface of the said sheet member. In addition, when the material of the said sheet member is not equipped with adhesiveness, an adhesive sheet and an adhesive agent can be used as needed.

同様に、他のシート部材の一方の面における各貫通孔の位置に各端子部材15bを付着させる。   Similarly, each terminal member 15b is attached to the position of each through hole on one surface of the other sheet member.

そして、端子部材15aを付着させたシート部材と端子部材15bを付着させたシート部材とを重ね合せる。この場合、端子部材15aを付着させた側の面と、端子部材15bを付着させた側の面とが当接し、かつ、各シート部材の貫通孔同士の中心が一致するように、2枚のシート部材を重ね合せる。これにより、端子部材15aの周縁部18aの裏面と端子部材15bの周縁部18bの裏面とが当接し、端子部材15a及び15bが背中合せに組合されて導通することによって接続端子14が形成される。そして、前記2枚のシート部材を加熱及び加圧して融着させることによって一体化する。なお、前記2枚のシート部材を接着剤によって接着させることにより一体化してもよい。   Then, the sheet member to which the terminal member 15a is attached and the sheet member to which the terminal member 15b is attached are overlapped. In this case, the two sheets so that the surface on which the terminal member 15a is attached and the surface on which the terminal member 15b is attached are in contact with each other, and the centers of the through holes of each sheet member coincide with each other. The sheet members are overlapped. As a result, the back surface of the peripheral edge portion 18a of the terminal member 15a and the back surface of the peripheral edge portion 18b of the terminal member 15b are brought into contact with each other, and the terminal members 15a and 15b are combined in a back-to-back manner to form a connection terminal 14. Then, the two sheet members are integrated by heating and pressurizing and fusing. The two sheet members may be integrated by bonding with an adhesive.

これにより、前記2枚のシート部材が端子支持部材11を形成し、図1及び2に示されるようなソケット10が形成される。   As a result, the two sheet members form the terminal support member 11 and the socket 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed.

次に、前記構成のソケット10を介して第1接続対象装置21と第2接続対象装置22とを接続する場合の動作について説明する。   Next, an operation when the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22 are connected via the socket 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.

図6は本発明の実施の形態におけるソケットを介して第1接続対象装置と第2接続対象装置とを接続した状態を示す側面図、図7は本発明の実施の形態におけるソケットにおいてインダクタンスが打消されることを説明する模式図である。   FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state in which the first connection target device and the second connection target device are connected via the socket according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 shows that the inductance is canceled in the socket according to the embodiment of the present invention. It is a schematic diagram explaining what is done.

ここで、第1接続対象装置21は図6における下側の面に図示されない端子を備え、第2接続対象装置22は図6における上側の面に図示されない端子を備えるものとする。また、前述のように、第1接続対象装置21の端子、第2接続対象装置22の端子及び接続端子14は、同様の配列及びピッチで、相互に対応する位置に配設されている。さらに、図6に示される例においては、第1接続対象装置21が半導体装置であり、第2接続対象装置22が配線回路基板であるとする。   Here, the first connection target device 21 includes a terminal (not shown) on the lower surface in FIG. 6, and the second connection target device 22 includes a terminal (not shown) on the upper surface in FIG. 6. Further, as described above, the terminals of the first connection target device 21, the terminals of the second connection target device 22, and the connection terminals 14 are arranged at positions corresponding to each other with the same arrangement and pitch. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the first connection target device 21 is a semiconductor device and the second connection target device 22 is a printed circuit board.

そして、ソケット10はあらかじめ第2接続対象装置22に接続されているものとする。この場合、ソケット10はその周囲が図示されないフレーム、枠等の取付部材に取付けられた状態となっていて、該取付部材が配線回路基板である第2接続対象装置22に取付けられているものとする。そして、端子部材15bの渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部が第2接続対象装置22の端子に当接し、電気的に接続された状態となっている。この場合、端子部材15bが第2接続対象装置22の端子に接触する接触箇所が渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部の複数箇所であるので、端子部材15bと第2接続対象装置22の端子との接続が確実なものとなる。そのため、渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部と第2接続対象装置22の端子とは、はんだ付け等によって接合する必要がない。   The socket 10 is assumed to be connected to the second connection target device 22 in advance. In this case, the periphery of the socket 10 is attached to an attachment member such as a frame or a frame (not shown), and the attachment member is attached to the second connection target device 22 that is a printed circuit board. To do. And the front-end | tip part of the spiral members 16b and 17b of the terminal member 15b contact | abuts to the terminal of the 2nd connection object apparatus 22, and is in the state electrically connected. In this case, since the contact location where the terminal member 15b contacts the terminal of the second connection target device 22 is a plurality of locations at the tip of the spiral members 16b and 17b, the terminal member 15b and the terminal of the second connection target device 22 The connection is secure. Therefore, it is not necessary to join the tip portions of the spiral members 16b and 17b and the terminals of the second connection target device 22 by soldering or the like.

また、第1接続対象装置21とソケット10とを接続する場合、第1接続対象装置21と、ソケット10を取付けた第2接続対象装置22とを相対的に移動させ、第1接続対象装置21の下面とソケット10の端子支持部材11の上面とを対向させた状態とする。この場合、第1接続対象装置21の端子と端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部との位置がほぼ一致するように位置合せされる。   Moreover, when connecting the 1st connection object apparatus 21 and the socket 10, the 1st connection object apparatus 21 and the 2nd connection object apparatus 22 which attached the socket 10 are moved relatively, and the 1st connection object apparatus 21 is moved. And the upper surface of the terminal support member 11 of the socket 10 are opposed to each other. In this case, alignment is performed such that the terminals of the first connection target device 21 and the distal ends of the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a substantially coincide with each other.

続いて、第1接続対象装置21及び/又は第2接続対象装置22を相手側に移動させ、図6に示されるように、第1接続対象装置21の下面の端子を端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部に押付ける。これにより、端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部が第1接続対象装置21の端子に当接し、電気的に接続された状態となる。この場合、端子部材15aが第1接続対象装置21の端子に接触する接触箇所が渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部の複数箇所であるので、端子部材15aと第1接続対象装置21の端子との接続が確実なものとなる。そのため、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と第1接続対象装置21の端子とは、はんだ付け等によって接合する必要がない。   Then, the 1st connection object apparatus 21 and / or the 2nd connection object apparatus 22 are moved to the other party, and as shown in Drawing 6, the terminal of the lower surface of the 1st connection object apparatus 21 is made into the spiral member of terminal member 15a. Press against the tip of 16a and 17a. Thereby, the front-end | tip part of the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a contact | abuts to the terminal of the 1st connection object apparatus 21, and will be in the state connected electrically. In this case, since the contact location where the terminal member 15a contacts the terminal of the first connection target device 21 is a plurality of locations at the tip of the spiral members 16a and 17a, the terminal member 15a and the terminal of the first connection target device 21 The connection is secure. Therefore, it is not necessary to join the tip portions of the spiral members 16a and 17a and the terminals of the first connection target device 21 by soldering or the like.

そして、第1接続対象装置21の下面の端子を端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部に押付けることによって、渦巻部材16a及び17aに下向きの力が付与される。ここで、端子部材15aは端子部材15bと背中合せに組合され、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとが上下方向に突出している。そして、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bは、テーパ形状のコイルスプリングと同様の形状を備え、突出方向に関して弾性的に伸縮可能となっている。そのため、第1接続対象装置21の下面の端子から下向きの力が付与されると、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bは、図6に示されるように、全体的に上下方向に収縮し、第1接続対象装置21の下面の端子の下方への移動を吸収する。   Then, a downward force is applied to the spiral members 16a and 17a by pressing the terminals on the lower surface of the first connection target device 21 against the distal ends of the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a. Here, the terminal member 15a is combined with the terminal member 15b back to back, and the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b protrude in the vertical direction. The spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b have the same shape as the tapered coil spring, and can be elastically expanded and contracted in the protruding direction. Therefore, when a downward force is applied from the terminal on the lower surface of the first connection target device 21, the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b generally contract in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. Then, the downward movement of the terminal on the lower surface of the first connection target device 21 is absorbed.

この場合、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bがともに収縮するので、渦巻部材16a及び17a又は渦巻部材16b及び17bのいずれかだけの場合と比較して、同一の力に対する収縮量が2倍となる。そのため、接続端子14は、柔軟性が高く、第1接続対象装置21の下面の端子から第2接続対象装置22の上面の端子までの距離が変化しても、柔軟に伸縮して、上下方向の全長を変化させることができる。また、ソケット10全体の厚さ方向の寸法を短くすることができるので、第1接続対象装置21の端子と第2接続対象装置22の端子との距離を短くすることができ、例えば、約1〔mm〕以下とすることもできる。   In this case, since the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are both contracted, the amount of contraction with respect to the same force is 2 as compared with the case of only the spiral members 16a and 17a or the spiral members 16b and 17b. Doubled. Therefore, the connection terminal 14 is highly flexible, and even if the distance from the terminal on the lower surface of the first connection target device 21 to the terminal on the upper surface of the second connection target device 22 changes, it flexibly expands and contracts in the vertical direction. The total length of can be changed. Moreover, since the dimension of the thickness direction of the whole socket 10 can be shortened, the distance of the terminal of the 1st connection object apparatus 21 and the terminal of the 2nd connection object apparatus 22 can be shortened, for example, about 1 [Mm] or less.

ところで、第1接続対象装置21の下面又は第2接続対象装置22の上面が均一でなく歪んでいる場合、第1接続対象装置21の端子と第2接続対象装置22の端子との距離が想定されている本来の数値から変化してしまう。このような場合であっても、接続端子14は、柔軟に伸縮して、上下方向の全長、すなわち、第1接続対象装置21の端子に当接する渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端から第2接続対象装置22の端子に当接する渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端までの距離を変化させることができる。そして、端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部が第1接続対象装置21の端子に弾性的に押付けられて当接した状態、並びに、端子部材15bの渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部が第2接続対象装置22の端子に弾性的に押付けられて当接した状態を確実に維持することができる。さらに、端子部材15a及び15bが第1接続対象装置21及び第2接続対象装置22の端子に接触する接触箇所が渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部の複数箇所であるので、端子部材15bと第2接続対象装置22の端子との接続が確実なものとなる。   By the way, when the lower surface of the first connection target device 21 or the upper surface of the second connection target device 22 is not uniform and distorted, the distance between the terminal of the first connection target device 21 and the terminal of the second connection target device 22 is assumed. It will change from the original numerical value. Even in such a case, the connection terminal 14 flexibly expands and contracts, and the second connection target is extended from the entire length in the vertical direction, that is, from the tips of the spiral members 16a and 17a that are in contact with the terminals of the first connection target device 21. The distance to the tips of the spiral members 16b and 17b that contact the terminal of the device 22 can be changed. And the state where the tip portions of the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a are elastically pressed against the terminal of the first connection target device 21 and the tips of the spiral members 16b and 17b of the terminal member 15b are It is possible to reliably maintain a state in which the second connection target device 22 is elastically pressed against and contacted with the terminal. Furthermore, since the contact locations where the terminal members 15a and 15b contact the terminals of the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22 are a plurality of locations of the spiral members 16a and 17a and the distal ends of the spiral members 16b and 17b, The connection between the terminal member 15b and the terminal of the second connection target device 22 is ensured.

そのため、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と第1接続対象装置21の端子とが、また、渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部と第2接続対象装置22の端子とがはんだ付けされていないのに関わらず、第1接続対象装置21の下面又は第2接続対象装置22の上面に歪みがある場合でも、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bが収縮することによって歪みを吸収し、第1接続対象装置21をソケット10を介して第2接続対象装置22に確実に接続させることができる。   Therefore, the tip portions of the spiral members 16a and 17a and the terminals of the first connection target device 21 are not soldered, and the tip portions of the spiral members 16b and 17b and the terminals of the second connection target device 22 are not soldered. Regardless, even when the lower surface of the first connection target device 21 or the upper surface of the second connection target device 22 is distorted, the vortex members 16a and 17a and the vortex members 16b and 17b contract to absorb the distortion, and the first The connection target device 21 can be reliably connected to the second connection target device 22 via the socket 10.

そして、本実施の形態において、端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aは、図7(a)に示されるように、同一方向に渦を巻くが、互いに位相が180度相違するように配設され、二重渦巻形状となっている。そして、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部は同一方向に突出して同一の端子に接続される。そのため、渦巻部材16a及び17aには互いに同一方向の電流が流れるので、図7(a)に示されるように、渦巻部材16aに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きと、横方向において隣接する渦巻部材17aに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きとが相互に逆向きとなり、前記磁界は互いに打消し合う。したがって、渦巻部材16a及び17aのインダクタンスは、互いに打消し合うことによってキャンセルされる。なお、図7(a)における矢印は、電流によって発生する磁力線の例を示している。   In the present embodiment, the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a spiral in the same direction as shown in FIG. 7A, but are arranged so that the phases are 180 degrees different from each other. It has a double spiral shape. And the front-end | tip part of the spiral members 16a and 17a protrudes in the same direction, and is connected to the same terminal. Therefore, currents in the same direction flow through the spiral members 16a and 17a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7A, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the spiral member 16a and the spiral members adjacent in the lateral direction. The directions of the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing through 17a are opposite to each other, and the magnetic fields cancel each other. Accordingly, the inductances of the spiral members 16a and 17a are canceled by canceling each other. In addition, the arrow in Fig.7 (a) has shown the example of the magnetic force line which generate | occur | produces with an electric current.

また、端子部材15bの渦巻部材16b及び17bも、端子部材15aの渦巻部材16a及び17aと同様に、同一方向に渦を巻くが、互いに位相が180度相違するように配設され、二重渦巻形状となっている。そのため、渦巻部材16bに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きと、横方向において隣接する渦巻部材17bに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きとが相互に逆向きとなり、前記磁界は互いに打消し合う。したがって、渦巻部材16b及び17bのインダクタンスは、互いに打消し合うことによってキャンセルされる。   Similarly to the spiral members 16a and 17a of the terminal member 15a, the spiral members 16b and 17b of the terminal member 15b are vortexed in the same direction, but are arranged so that the phases are 180 degrees different from each other. It has a shape. Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the spiral member 16b and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the adjacent spiral member 17b in the lateral direction are opposite to each other, and the magnetic fields cancel each other. Accordingly, the inductances of the spiral members 16b and 17b are canceled by canceling each other.

さらに、端子部材15a及び15bは、背中合せに組合され、かつ、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとが周縁部18a及び18bの当接面に関して面対称となっている。これにより、図7(b)に示されるように、渦巻部材16a及び16bは、同一の場所から上下方向に分岐するように配設されている。そして、渦巻部材16aの先端部は第1接続対象装置21の端子に接続され、渦巻部材16bの先端部は第2接続対象装置22の端子に接続される。そのため、渦巻部材16a及び16bには互いに逆の方向の電流が流れるので、図7(b)に示されるように、渦巻部材16aに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きと、上下方向において隣接する渦巻部材16bに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きとが相互に逆向きとなり、前記磁界は互いに打消し合う。したがって、渦巻部材16a及び16bのインダクタンスは、互いに打消し合うことによってキャンセルされる。なお、図7(b)における矢印は、電流によって発生する磁力線の例を示している。   Furthermore, the terminal members 15a and 15b are combined back to back, and the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are symmetrical with respect to the contact surfaces of the peripheral portions 18a and 18b. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7B, the spiral members 16a and 16b are arranged so as to branch in the vertical direction from the same place. The tip of the spiral member 16 a is connected to the terminal of the first connection target device 21, and the tip of the spiral member 16 b is connected to the terminal of the second connection target device 22. Therefore, since currents in opposite directions flow through the spiral members 16a and 16b, as shown in FIG. 7B, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the spiral member 16a and the spirals adjacent in the vertical direction The directions of the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing through the member 16b are opposite to each other, and the magnetic fields cancel each other. Accordingly, the inductances of the spiral members 16a and 16b are canceled by canceling each other. In addition, the arrow in FIG.7 (b) has shown the example of the magnetic force line which generate | occur | produces with an electric current.

また、渦巻部材17a及び17bも、渦巻部材16a及び16bと同様に、同一の場所から上下方向に分岐するように配設されている。そして、渦巻部材17aの先端部は第1接続対象装置21の端子に接続され、渦巻部材17bの先端部は第2接続対象装置22の端子に接続される。そのため、渦巻部材17a及び17bには互いに逆の方向の電流が流れるので、渦巻部材17aに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きと、上下方向において隣接する渦巻部材17bに流れる電流によって発生する磁界の向きとが相互に逆向きとなり、前記磁界は互いに打消し合う。したがって、渦巻部材17a及び17bのインダクタンスは、互いに打消し合うことによってキャンセルされる。   Similarly to the spiral members 16a and 16b, the spiral members 17a and 17b are also arranged so as to branch in the vertical direction from the same place. The tip of the spiral member 17 a is connected to the terminal of the first connection target device 21, and the tip of the spiral member 17 b is connected to the terminal of the second connection target device 22. Therefore, since currents in opposite directions flow through the spiral members 17a and 17b, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the spiral member 17a and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the adjacent spiral member 17b in the vertical direction Are opposite to each other, and the magnetic fields cancel each other. Accordingly, the inductances of the spiral members 17a and 17b are canceled by canceling each other.

このように、本実施の形態におけるソケット10では、接続端子14は、各々が二重渦巻形状の一対の渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに一対の渦巻部材16b及び17bを備える一対の端子部材15a及び15bから成り、端子部材15aが備える一対の渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と、端子部材15bが備える一対の渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部とは相互に反対方向に突出し、前記端子部材15a及び15bは、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに16b及び17bの先端部が突出する方向と反対側の面が相互に当接し、渦巻部材16a及び17aと渦巻部材16b及び17bとが当接面に関して対称となり、渦巻部材16a及び17aのインダクタンスと渦巻部材16b及び17bのインダクタンスとが相互に打消し合うように組合されている。そのため、接続端子14の電気的特性が良好になり、その結果、ソケット10全体の電気的特性が良好になる。   As described above, in the socket 10 according to the present embodiment, the connection terminal 14 includes a pair of spiral members 16a and 17a and a pair of terminal members 15a and 15b each including a pair of spiral members 16b and 17b. The tip portions of the pair of spiral members 16a and 17a provided in the terminal member 15a and the tip portions of the pair of spiral members 16b and 17b provided in the terminal member 15b protrude in opposite directions, and the terminal members 15a and 15b are The surfaces of the spiral members 16a and 17a and 16b and 17b opposite to the protruding direction are in contact with each other, so that the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are symmetrical with respect to the contact surface. The inductances of 16a and 17a and the inductances of the spiral members 16b and 17b cancel each other. It is union. Therefore, the electrical characteristics of the connection terminal 14 are improved, and as a result, the electrical characteristics of the entire socket 10 are improved.

また、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bは、根本部が周縁部18a及び18bに接続され、周縁から中心に向かって相互に同一方向に渦を巻き、相互に位相が180度相違し、一方のインダクタンスと他方のインダクタンスとが相互に打消し合うように配設されて対を成している。そのため、端子部材15a及び15bの電気的特性が良好になり、ソケット10全体の電気的特性が更に良好になる。   Further, the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b have roots connected to the peripheral portions 18a and 18b, and vortex in the same direction from the periphery toward the center, and are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. , One inductance and the other inductance are disposed so as to cancel each other to form a pair. Therefore, the electrical characteristics of the terminal members 15a and 15b are improved, and the electrical characteristics of the entire socket 10 are further improved.

さらに、渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bは、突出方向に関して弾性的に伸縮可能となっていて、ともに収縮するので、接続端子14の柔軟性が高く、第1接続対象装置21の端子から第2接続対象装置22の端子までの距離が変化しても、柔軟に伸縮して、上下方向の全長を変化させることができる。そのため、第1接続対象装置21や第2接続対象装置22の歪みを吸収することができる。また、ソケット10全体の厚さ方向の寸法を短くすることができ、第1接続対象装置21の端子から第2接続対象装置22の端子までの距離を短くすることができる。   Furthermore, since the spiral members 16a and 17a and the spiral members 16b and 17b are elastically expandable and contractable in the protruding direction and contract together, the connection terminal 14 is highly flexible, and the terminal of the first connection target device 21 Even if the distance from the terminal to the terminal of the second connection target device 22 changes, it can flexibly expand and contract and change the overall length in the vertical direction. Therefore, the distortion of the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22 can be absorbed. Moreover, the dimension of the thickness direction of the whole socket 10 can be shortened, and the distance from the terminal of the 1st connection object apparatus 21 to the terminal of the 2nd connection object apparatus 22 can be shortened.

さらに、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部は第1接続対象装置21の端子に弾性的に押付けられ、渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部は、第2接続対象装置22の端子に弾性的に押付けられている。そのため、端子部材15aと第1接続対象装置21の端子との接続及び端子部材15bと第2接続対象装置22の端子との接続が確実になる。さらに、端子部材15a及び15bが第1接続対象装置21及び第2接続対象装置22の端子に接触する接触箇所が渦巻部材16a及び17a並びに渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部の複数箇所であるので、端子部材15bと第2接続対象装置22の端子との接続がより確実なものとなる。   Further, the tip portions of the spiral members 16 a and 17 a are elastically pressed against the terminals of the first connection target device 21, and the tip portions of the spiral members 16 b and 17 b are elastically pressed against the terminals of the second connection target device 22. ing. Therefore, the connection between the terminal member 15a and the terminal of the first connection target device 21 and the connection between the terminal member 15b and the terminal of the second connection target device 22 are ensured. Furthermore, since the contact locations where the terminal members 15a and 15b contact the terminals of the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22 are a plurality of locations of the spiral members 16a and 17a and the distal ends of the spiral members 16b and 17b, The connection between the terminal member 15b and the terminal of the second connection target device 22 becomes more reliable.

そのため、渦巻部材16a及び17aの先端部と第1接続対象装置21の端子とのはんだ付け、並びに、渦巻部材16b及び17bの先端部と第2接続対象装置22の端子とのはんだ付けを省略しても、第1接続対象装置21をソケット10を介して第2接続対象装置22に確実に接続させることができる。したがって、ソケット10を使用することによって、はんだ付けを行うことなく、第1接続対象装置21と第2接続対象装置22とを容易に、かつ、低コストで接続することができる。   Therefore, the soldering between the tip portions of the spiral members 16a and 17a and the terminals of the first connection target device 21 and the soldering between the tip portions of the spiral members 16b and 17b and the terminals of the second connection target device 22 are omitted. However, the first connection target device 21 can be reliably connected to the second connection target device 22 via the socket 10. Therefore, by using the socket 10, the first connection target device 21 and the second connection target device 22 can be easily connected at low cost without performing soldering.
