The spring wire 31a is electrically connected to an electrical connection surface (solder surface) 31b of the socket 31 to another member.

Since the structure is such that a and the plug are in sliding contact with each other and the plug is fitted into the socket, by attaching and detaching the plug a number of times,
There is a problem that the contact surfaces of the spring wire 31a and the plug 32 are worn and damaged to form an oxide film, which increases the contact resistance. Here, the contact resistance means a resistance when electricity passes through a contact portion of two members, and a sum of this and a conductor resistance which is a value peculiar to a conductor causes electricity to flow between the two members. It becomes the electric resistance of the case.

る。The plug fits into the socket while being in contact with a large number of balls biased toward the center by the spring member. Then, the plug is electrically connected to the socket through a large number of balls that are in contact with the contact surface with a predetermined pressing force. Therefore, the contact surface of the plug with the socket is exposed to the outside world, and the contact surface is touched by hand,
Since there are many opportunities for water droplets to adhere, if there is wear or damage on the contact surface, an oxide film will easily form at that location, but the plug will fit into the socket due to rolling contact as described above. Therefore, wear and damage of the contact surface of the plug are prevented, and the formation of an oxide film on the contact surface of the plug is extremely prevented. It is conceivable that sliding contact will occur between the ball and the spring member, causing wear and damage.However, since this part is inside the socket with a concave cross-section, that part can be touched by hand or water drops There is little chance of deposits and the like, and therefore the oxide film is less likely to be generated. Therefore,
With such a configuration, an increase in contact resistance due to the generation of an oxide film is largely prevented, and the connector can be attached and detached many times under a more stable and low contact resistance.

いる。When electrical connection such as an electrical signal is performed between these other members, the plug 2 is fitted in the socket 1. That is, the contact surface 2a of the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 1 through the hole 1b of the disk 1c of the socket 1. Then, the contact surface 2a is in contact with the sphere 1d, and the sphere 1d is pushed outward in the radial direction of the socket 1,
The plug 2 fits in the socket 1. The ball 1d and the wire spring 1i make a sliding contact, but since oil for contact is filled between them, their wear and damage are prevented. When the plug 2 is sufficiently fitted in the socket 1, the connection between them is completed, and in this state, the ball 1d is biased by the wire spring 1i, so that the ball 1d contacts the contact surface 2a.
And the wire spring 1i are in contact with each other with a predetermined pressing force.

抗を十分に小さな値に保つことができる。When electricity is sent in this state, an electric current is transmitted through the plug 2, the multiple balls 1 and the wire spring 1i. Since the ball 1d is plated with gold, the contact resistance between the ball 1d and the plug 2 is reduced, and the wire spring 1
Since i is gold-plated, the contact resistance between the ball 1d and the wire spring 1i is extremely small, and the pressing force of the wire spring 1i causes the contact surface 2a of the plug 2, the ball 1d and the wire spring 1i to The contacts are made by a sufficient pressing force, so that the contact resistance in this connector is small, and an electric current can be passed through the connector of the present invention under a small electric resistance. Since the plug 2 and the wire spring 1i are in contact with a large number of balls 1d under a predetermined pressing force, the plug 2 when viewed as the entire connector
Area between the ball and the ball 1d, and the wire spring 1i and the ball 1d
The contact area with and has a sufficiently large value, so that the contact resistance can be maintained at a sufficiently small value.

がり接触が妨げられるという事態が防止される。In this way, the socket 1 and the plug 2 of the connector are attached and detached many times, but since the ball 1 makes rolling contact with the contact surface 2a of the plug 2, wear and damage are prevented. Being exposed to the outside world,
It is possible to sufficiently prevent the generation of an oxide film on the contact surface 2a, which is often touched by a hand or has a chance of adhering a water drop. Further, the contact portion between the ball 1d and the wire spring 1i is prevented from being worn or damaged due to the presence of the contact oil. However, even if there is no contact oil, this contact portion will not contact the retainer 1f. Since it is in the space 1p between the inner wall 1h of the frame 1a, even if this contact portion is worn or damaged, there is an opportunity to be shielded from the outside and touched by the hand, or water droplets may be attached. Therefore, the generation of the oxide film on the contact portion of the wire spring 1i with the sphere 1d can be suppressed sufficiently low. Also, since the sphere 1d rotates, the sphere 1d
The worn and damaged parts of the
Although it may come out to the position 1q closer to the central portion of the socket 1, even at this position, since it is still in the concave portion of the socket 1 having a concave shape, there is little chance of being touched by the hand, water droplets, etc. Therefore, abrasion of the ball 1d and generation of an oxide film on the damaged portion can be suppressed to a low level. Therefore, in the connector of the present invention, an increase in contact resistance due to the generation of an oxide film is prevented, and the connector can be attached / detached many times under a more stable and low contact resistance. In this embodiment, the ball 1d
Since the steel ball is used as the steel ball, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the ball 1d is crushed and the rolling contact between the ball 1d and the contact surface 2a of the plug 2 is prevented during a number of times of use.

The present invention is sufficiently applicable to a case where the connection of the connector is automated and the socket 1 and the plug 2 are automatically connected under the error of a predetermined insertion position.
