Connector with a biasing elastic member
First Claim
1. A connector adapted to be attached to a case of an electronic device unit, the connector comprising:
- a connector assembly comprising a terminal, a housing holding the terminal, and a circuit board connected to the terminal, wherein the terminal, the housing, and the circuit board are integrally attached together, and the connector assembly is configured to be integrally inserted in the case through an opening provided in the case;
an escutcheon adapted to be attached to the case to close the opening; and
an elastic member arranged at a position to be interposed between the connector assembly and the escutcheon when the escutcheon is attached to the case in a state in which the connector assembly is accommodated in the case,wherein the elastic member is configured to bias the connector assembly toward the case such that the circuit board is pressed directly against the case to position the connector assembly with respect to the case.

Abstract
A connector is adapted to be attached to a case of an electronic device unit. The connector includes a connector assembly adapted to be accommodated in the case through an opening provided in the case, an escutcheon adapted to be attached to the case to close the opening, and an elastic member arranged at a position to be interposed between the connector assembly and the escutcheon when the escutcheon is attached to the case in a state in which the connector assembly is accommodated in the case. The connector assembly includes a terminal, a housing holding the terminal, and a circuit board connected to the terminal. The elastic member is configured to bias the connector assembly toward the case such that the circuit board is pressed against the case to position the connector assembly with respect to the case.
