ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly which is adapted to be incorporated in an electronic device and which includes a spring connector having a spring contact of a plunger type or of a spring leaf type. The plunger type spring connector has a pin which forms the spring contact and which is slidably movable due to the spring force so that the pin is electrically in contact with a contact pattern on a printed circuit board stably and constantly. The spring leaf type connector has a leaf spring which forms at its extended bent portion the spring contact and which bent portion is movable due to the spring force so that the tip of the bent extended portion is electrically in contact with the contact pattern on the printed circuit board stably and constantly. The spring leaf type connector includes, in addition to the leaf spring, a terminal pin, a coil spring and a mounting rib. The mounting rib holds the leaf spring with the coil spring pressing the leaf spring against the mounting rib. The connector assembly having either type or both the types of spring connector may suitably be incorporated in an electronic device equipped with a printed circuit board or a power supply terminal.
