A connector system ( 1 ) includes a connector ( 10 ) that detachably mates with a mating connector ( 20 ) mounted on an external circuit board ( 30 ), and an abutting member ( 40 ) fixed to the external circuit board ( 30 ). The connector ( 10 ) includes a circuit board ( 200 ) that connects to an external device via a signal line ( 300 ); an electrically conductive first shell ( 110 ) through which a terminal portion ( 201 ) of the circuit board ( 200 ) is inserted and that is electrically connected to the external circuit board ( 30 ) via the mating connector ( 20 ); and an electrically conductive second shell ( 120 ) that covers at least a portion of a target region that is a region, of one main surface ( 205 ) of the circuit board ( 200 ), other than the terminal portion ( 201 ). The abutting member ( 40 ) presses at least a portion of the connector ( 10 ) toward the external circuit board ( 30 ).

A substance sensor includes sensitive membranes to react with substances included in the odors of a gas in correspondence with the substances, and is configured to detect the reaction values of the sensitive membranes. An odor specifier specifies the odors of the gas on the basis of the reaction values of the sensitive membranes. A reaction value calculator calculates reaction values corresponding to the odors specified by the odor specifier on the basis of the reaction values of the sensitive membranes. A percentage calculator calculates the percentages of the reaction values corresponding to the odors specified by the odor specifier to the total of the reaction values corresponding to the odors. A display displays the percentages of the reaction values corresponding to the odors, calculated by the percentage calculator, so that comparison of the percentages is enabled between the odors specified by the odor specifier.

A terminal includes an outer conductor and a sleeve. The outer conductor includes a first swaging segment. The sleeve has one end adjacent to the +Y side disposed in the outer conductor and the other end adjacent to the -Y side disposed inside a coaxial-cable outer conductor of a coaxial cable. The swaging segment is swaged onto the other end and the coaxial-cable outer conductor. The sleeve may include a first segment disposed inside the coaxial-cable outer conductor and a second segment disposed in the outer conductor.

A coaxial connector device includes an insulating body disposed on a circuit board, first and second signal contact members and, a ground contact member, and a conductive partition member. Each of the first and second signal contact members is assembled to the insulating body and has a contact portion protruding from the insulating body and a signal joint portion configured to be joined to a signal terminal portion disposed on the circuit board. The ground contact member is assembled to the insulating body and has a surrounding contact portion surrounding the contact portion and a ground joint portion configured to be joined to a ground terminal disposed on the circuit board. The conductive partition member is disposed between the contact portions and is configured to be provided with a ground potential.

A housing includes: a housing body on which a portion for abutment is formed; an assembly that is detachably assembled to the housing body; and a hinge with which the assembly is mounted on the housing body. The hinge includes (i) a connection that is arranged between the housing body and the assembly, and on which an abutment is formed, (ii) a first joint that is disposed between the housing body and the connection, and has flexibility, and (iii) a second joint that is disposed between the assembly and the connection, and has flexibility. The abutment formed on the connection is allowed to abut on the portion for abutment of the housing body by bending the first joint, and the assembly is assembled to the housing body by bending the second joint in a state in which the first joint is bent.

An information management system ( 1 ) includes an odor sensor ( 2 ) and an information processor ( 3 ). The odor sensor ( 2 ) senses an odor emitted from a source (T). The information processor ( 3 ) includes a preference information inputter ( 11 ) and a user information acquirer ( 12 ). The user information acquirer ( 12 ) acquires user information indicating the attribute of a user. The preference information inputter ( 11 ) inputs preference information indicating the preference of the user for the odor sensed by the odor sensor ( 2 ). A storage ( 20 ) associates odor information indicating the kind of the odor sensed by the odor sensor ( 2 ), the user information acquired by the user information acquirer ( 12 ), and the preference information input into the preference information inputter ( 11 ) with each other, and stores the odor information, the user information, and the preference information.

A coaxial connector device includes: a signal contact member; a signal contact member; a ground contact member to which a ground potential is applied; and a conductive member including a rear ground connection portion that is connected to the ground contact member, and a front ground connection portion that is connected to a ground contact portion of a mating connector device. When viewed in a direction of fitting to the mating connector device, the front ground connection portion overlaps at least a part of a signal line including a center conductor of a coaxial cable and the signal contact member, and at least a part of a signal line including a center conductor of a coaxial cable and the signal contact member.

A connector ( 10 ) includes a set of type 1 contacts ( 4 A) disposed in a type 1 holding area, the type 1 contacts ( 4 A) being disposed facing each other, and a type 2 contact ( 4 B) disposed in each of two type 2 holding areas sandwiching the type 1 holding area. When viewed from above, at least a portion of the type 2 contact ( 4 B) is disposed in a range obtained by extending, in a first direction in which the type 1 holding area and the two type 2 holding areas are arranged, a region in which the set of type 1 contacts ( 4 A) oppose each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Additionally, the type 2 contact ( 4 B) includes a connecting portion that is connected to the circuit of the circuit board, and a contacting portion that is disposed at a position separated, from the connecting portion in a normal direction of an installation surface to the circuit board, and that contacts a terminal of a mating connector.

An electrical connector pair 1 includes a receptacle connector 1 a and a plug connector 1 b. The receptacle connector 1 a includes a first partition wall 12 a, and the plug connector 1 b includes a second partition wall 12 b. When the receptacle connector 1 a and the plug connector 1 b are fitted together, the first partition wall 12 a partitions a portion of the boundary between a third holder and a fourth holder where the second partition wall 12 b is not formed such that a first contact 10 a and a third contact 10 b cannot be seen from a second contact and a fourth contact.

Electromagnetic shielding about both of electric connectors, which ae in a mutually mated state, can be sufficiently carried out by a simple configuration. Shield wall portions composed of electrically-conductive members opposed to contact connecting portions (board connecting portions) of a plurality of contact members arranged in multipolar shapes are provided; electromagnetic shielding functions with respect to the contact connecting portions in the respective electric connectors are obtained well by the respective shield wall portions; and, when both of the electric connectors are mated with each other, the shield wall portions are configured to be in an inner/outer double disposition relation in which they are opposed to each other and efficiently block the gaps between the shield wall portions and wiring boards so that sufficient EMI measures can be expected.
