Abstract

See full text

A connector apparatus which can keep an electrical connection between signal pins in good condition; when a male member and female member are coupled together, first bumps of a first contact portion and second bumps of a second contact portion are brought into contact with each other, electrically connecting the first signal pins and second signal pins with each other. Measures are taken to bring tops and ridge lines of the second bumps into contact with lateral faces of the first bumps. Also, the first signal pins and second signal pins are configured to be pivotable. During connection, contact area is increased by contact between the lateral faces of the first bumps and the tops and ridge lines of the second bumps, causing rubbing between the lateral faces and the tops and ridge lines, and thereby pushing aside and rubbing off sticking spatter, oxide films, contamination, and the like.
