Abstract

In a connector (10), an elastic deformation part (64) of a contact has straight parts (64a, 64c, 64g) and bent parts (64b, 64d, 64f, 64h, 64i), and within the plane that is orthogonal to the contact array direction, because the dimension in the width direction of the bent parts (64b, 64d, 64f, 64h, 64i) is smaller than the dimension in the width direction of the straight parts (64a, 64c, 64g), elastic deformation more readily occurs with the bent part than with the straight part. Thus, the bent part of the elastic deformation part has greater elastic deformation than the straight part. As a result, it is possible to ensure the elastic deformation amount in the bent parts (64b, 64d, 64f, 64h, 64i), and to stabilize the shape of the elastic deformation part in the straight parts (64a, 64c, 64g). As a result, parts that are elastically deformed and parts for which the shape is stabilized are formed in the elastic deformation part, and it is therefore possible to obtain a connector for which the behavior of the elastic deformation part of the contact is stable.

Description

コネクタconnector
　本発明は、コネクタに関する。 The present invention relates to a connector.
　異なる基板同士を接続するコネクタが知られている。この種のコネクタは、一の基板に取り付けられる第１コネクタと、他の基板に取り付けられる第２コネクタとを嵌合させる構成である。第１コネクタは、一の基板の基板面に固定された固定インシュレータと、固定インシュレータに対して移動可能に設けられた可動インシュレータと、一の基板に実装され、かつ固定インシュレータ及び可動インシュレータに保持され、一方向に並んで配置された複数のコンタクトとを有する。 A connector that connects different boards is known. This type of connector is configured to fit a first connector attached to one board and a second connector attached to another board. The first connector is a fixed insulator fixed to the substrate surface of one substrate, a movable insulator provided to be movable with respect to the fixed insulator, and mounted on the one substrate, and is held by the fixed insulator and the movable insulator. And a plurality of contacts arranged in one direction.
　複数のコンタクトは、それぞれ弾性変形可能な弾性変形部を有する。第１コネクタは、当該弾性変形部が弾性変形することにより、可動インシュレータが固定インシュレータに対して移動するようになっている。これにより、第１コネクタに第２コネクタを嵌合する際の位置ずれを吸収し、嵌合後の位置ずれを許容することが可能となっている。 The plurality of contacts each have an elastically deformable portion that can be elastically deformed. In the first connector, the movable insulator moves relative to the fixed insulator by elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion. As a result, it is possible to absorb the misalignment when the second connector is fitted to the first connector and to allow the misalignment after the fitting.
特開２０１４－６７７０６号公報JP 2014-67706 A
　上記のコネクタにおいては、実装される基板上の占有面積を小さくするなどの小型化が求められている。固定インシュレータ及び可動インシュレータを小型化する場合、複数のコンタクトが並ぶコンタクト配列方向については、コンタクトの数が決まっているため、寸法を小さくすることに制限がある。したがって、コンタクト配列方向に直交するコネクタ幅方向について、寸法を小さくすることが考えられる。 The above connectors are required to be miniaturized, for example, to reduce the occupied area on the board to be mounted. In the case of downsizing the fixed insulator and the movable insulator, since the number of contacts is determined in the contact arrangement direction in which a plurality of contacts are arranged, there is a limit to reducing the size. Therefore, it is conceivable to reduce the dimensions in the connector width direction orthogonal to the contact arrangement direction.
　コネクタ幅方向の寸法を小さくすると、コネクタ幅方向についての可動インシュレータの移動量が小さくなる。このため、コンタクトの弾性変形部を全体的に細くかつ長く形成することで柔軟性を持たせ、コネクタ幅方向についての可動インシュレータの移動量を確保している。 ¡When the size in the connector width direction is reduced, the amount of movement of the movable insulator in the connector width direction is reduced. For this reason, the elastic deformation part of the contact is formed to be thin and long as a whole, thereby providing flexibility and securing the amount of movement of the movable insulator in the connector width direction.
　このようなコネクタにおいては、コンタクトの弾性変形部における挙動の安定化が求められている。 In such a connector, it is required to stabilize the behavior in the elastically deformed portion of the contact.
　１つの態様に係るコネクタは、枠状である固定インシュレータと、前記固定インシュレータの内側に配置される可動インシュレータと、他のコネクタと電気的に導通する複数のコンタクトと、を有するコネクタであって、前記コンタクトは、前記固定インシュレータと前記可動インシュレータとを連結させるとともに前記可動インシュレータを前記他のコネクタとの挿抜方向に垂直な方向に可動可能にする弾性変形部を有し、前記弾性変形部は、直線方向に延びる直線部と、複数の前記コンタクトが配列される方向であるコンタクト配列方向に平行な軸線の軸回り方向に屈曲する屈曲部とを有し、前記屈曲部は、前記軸線に直交する平面内での幅方向の寸法が、前記直線部の前記幅方向の寸法よりも小さい。 A connector according to one aspect is a connector having a frame-shaped fixed insulator, a movable insulator disposed inside the fixed insulator, and a plurality of contacts electrically connected to other connectors, The contact includes an elastic deformation portion that connects the fixed insulator and the movable insulator and allows the movable insulator to move in a direction perpendicular to the insertion / extraction direction of the other connector, the elastic deformation portion, A linear portion extending in a linear direction; and a bent portion that bends about an axis parallel to the contact arrangement direction, which is a direction in which the plurality of contacts are arranged. The bent portion is orthogonal to the axis. The dimension in the width direction in the plane is smaller than the dimension in the width direction of the linear portion.
　前記屈曲部は、前記幅方向の内周が、前記直線部のうち前記内周に接続される辺を接線とし当該辺から前記内周側に延びて前記屈曲部に沿って湾曲する仮想円弧線に対して前記幅方向の外周側に凹んでいてもよい。 The bending portion has a virtual arc line in which the inner circumference in the width direction has a side connected to the inner circumference as a tangent line in the linear portion and extends from the side toward the inner circumference and curves along the bending portion. However, it may be recessed on the outer peripheral side in the width direction.
　前記コンタクトは、前記固定インシュレータを保持する第１保持部と、前記可動インシュレータを保持する第２保持部と、前記第２保持部から前記第１保持部に向けて前記コンタクト配列方向に直交する方向に延出する接続部の第１延出部と、前記第２保持部から延出して前記弾性変形部と連結する第２延出部と、を有してもよい。 The contact includes a first holding portion that holds the fixed insulator, a second holding portion that holds the movable insulator, and a direction orthogonal to the contact arrangement direction from the second holding portion toward the first holding portion. And a second extending portion that extends from the second holding portion and is coupled to the elastically deforming portion.
　前記第１延出部及び前記第２延出部は、同一方向に延出してもよい。 The first extension part and the second extension part may extend in the same direction.
　前記屈曲部は、前記幅方向の内周の形状が円弧状であってもよい。 The bent portion may have an arc shape on the inner periphery in the width direction.
　コネクタは、コンタクトの弾性変形部が直線部及び屈曲部を有し、コンタクト配列方向に直交する平面内において、屈曲部の幅方向の寸法が直線部の幅方向の寸法よりも小さいため、屈曲部では直線部よりも弾性変形しやすくなる。このため、弾性変形部は、屈曲部が直線部よりも大きく弾性変形する。これにより、屈曲部において弾性変形量を確保することができ、かつ、直線部において弾性変形部の形状を安定させることができる。これにより、弾性変形部において弾性変形する部位と形状を安定させる部位とが形成されるため、コンタクトの弾性変形部の挙動が安定したコネクタを得ることができる。 In the connector, the elastically deforming portion of the contact has a straight portion and a bent portion, and the width direction dimension of the bent portion is smaller than the width direction dimension of the straight portion in a plane orthogonal to the contact arrangement direction. Then, it becomes easier to elastically deform than the straight part. For this reason, as for an elastic deformation part, a bending part elastically deforms more largely than a linear part. Thereby, the amount of elastic deformation can be secured at the bent portion, and the shape of the elastically deformable portion can be stabilized at the linear portion. Thereby, since the site | part which elastically deforms in the elastic deformation part and the site | part which stabilizes a shape are formed, the connector with which the behavior of the elastic deformation part of the contact was stabilized can be obtained.

For this reason, the elastically deforming portion 64 has a bent portion 64b, a bent portion 64d, a bent portion 64f, a bent portion 64h, and a bent portion 64i rather than the vertical portion 64a, the inclined portion 64c, the return portion 64e, and the parallel portion 64g, which are straight portions. Is easier to elastically deform.
　第２延出部６４ｊは、第２保持部６３から第１保持部６２側に向けてコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行に延出する。第２延出部６４ｊは、第２保持部６３のうち基板面１０１ａ側の端部に設けられる。 The second extending portion 64j extends in parallel to the connector width direction D2 from the second holding portion 63 toward the first holding portion 62 side.

　接続部６５は、第１延出部６５ａと、屈曲部６５ｂと、先端部６５ｃとを有する。第１延出部６５ａは、第２保持部６３から第１保持部６２側に向けてコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行に延出する。したがって、第１延出部６５ａは、第２保持部６３から弾性変形部６４の第２延出部６４ｊと同一方向に延出する。屈曲部６５ｂは、第１延出部６５ａに接続され、基板面１０１ａから離れる方向に向けて屈曲する。先端部６５ｃは、屈曲部６５ｂから挿抜方向Ｄ３に平行かつ基板面１０１ａから離れる方向に延びた部分の先端である。 The connecting part 65 has a first extending part 65a, a bent part 65b, and a tip part 65c.

The contact 24 is formed, for example, by punching a metal member. In addition, about the shaping | molding method of the contact 24, it does not limit to a punching process, For example, you may shape | mold by bending a metal member.

　図８は、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とを対向させた状態を示す図である。第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０とを嵌合する場合、図８に示すように、第１基板１０１の基板面１０１ａと第２基板１０２の基板面１０２ａとを対向させる。この状態から、第１基板１０１と第２基板１０２とを相対的に移動させて第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０との位置合わせを行う。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are opposed to each other. When the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are fitted, the substrate surface 101a of the first substrate 101 and the substrate surface 102a of the second substrate 102 are opposed to each other as shown in FIG. From this state, the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 are relatively moved to align the first connector 10 and the second connector 20.
　位置合わせの際、例えば第１コネクタ１０の可動インシュレータ１３と第２コネクタ２０のインシュレータ２１とを当接させ、基板面１０１ａ及び基板面１０２ａに平行な方向に摺動させる。位置合わせにより、インシュレータ２１の挿入部５２が第１コネクタ１０側の可動インシュレータ１３に嵌合される。この嵌合により、第２コネクタ２０側のコンタクト２４の接続部２４ｃが第１コネクタ１０側のコンタクト１４の接続部６５（先端部６５ｃ）に接触する。これにより、コンタクト１４とコンタクト２４とが電気的に接続される。 At the time of alignment, for example, the movable insulator 13 of the first connector 10 and the insulator 21 of the second connector 20 are brought into contact with each other and slid in a direction parallel to the substrate surface 101a and the substrate surface 102a. By the alignment, the insertion portion 52 of the insulator 21 is fitted to the movable insulator 13 on the first connector 10 side. By this fitting, the connection portion 24c of the contact 24 on the second connector 20 side comes into contact with the connection portion 65 (tip portion 65c) of the contact 14 on the first connector 10 side. Thereby, the contact 14 and the contact 24 are electrically connected.
　挿入部５２を挿入する際、又は挿入した後において、第１基板１０１と第２基板１０２との間にコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に相対的に力が加えられた場合、コンタクト１４の弾性変形部６４が弾性変形し、可動インシュレータ１３がコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に移動する。このため、例えば第１コネクタ１０の可動インシュレータ１３と第２コネクタ２０のインシュレータ２１とがコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２にずれた状態で嵌合される場合には、可動インシュレータ１３がコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に移動することで、第１コネクタ１０と第２コネクタ２０との位置関係が復元される。 When a relative force is applied between the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 in the connector width direction D2 when or after the insertion portion 52 is inserted, the elastic deformation portion 64 of the contact 14 It is elastically deformed and the movable insulator 13 moves in the connector width direction D2. For this reason, for example, when the movable insulator 13 of the first connector 10 and the insulator 21 of the second connector 20 are fitted in a state shifted in the connector width direction D2, the movable insulator 13 moves in the connector width direction D2. Thus, the positional relationship between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 is restored.
　可動インシュレータ１３がコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に移動することにより、コンタクト１４の弾性変形部６４が弾性変形する。例えば、可動インシュレータ１３が固定インシュレータ１１の壁部３１側に移動する場合、壁部３１側のコンタクト１４は、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２に近づく方向に弾性変形する。一方、壁部３２側のコンタクト１４は、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２から遠ざかる方向に弾性変形する。 When the movable insulator 13 moves in the connector width direction D2, the elastic deformation portion 64 of the contact 14 is elastically deformed. For example, when the movable insulator 13 moves to the wall portion 31 side of the fixed insulator 11, the contact 14 on the wall portion 31 side is elastically deformed in a direction in which the second holding portion 63 approaches the first holding portion 62. On the other hand, the contact 14 on the wall portion 32 side is elastically deformed in the direction in which the second holding portion 63 moves away from the first holding portion 62.
　図９は、コンタクト１４が弾性変形する状態を示す図であり、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２に近づく場合について示している。図９に示すように、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２に近接する場合、第２延出部６４ｊを介して弾性変形部６４が第１保持部６２側に押される。この押圧力により、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉは、それぞれ屈曲量が大きくなるように、つまり屈曲部の両端の距離が小さくなるように変形する。 FIG. 9 is a view showing a state where the contact 14 is elastically deformed, and shows a case where the second holding portion 63 approaches the first holding portion 62. As shown in FIG. 9, when the second holding part 63 is close to the first holding part 62, the elastic deformation part 64 is pushed to the first holding part 62 side via the second extending part 64j. By this pressing force, the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i are deformed so that the amount of bending is increased, that is, the distance between both ends of the bent portion is decreased.
　一方、直線部については、垂直部６４ａが屈曲部６４ｂとの接続部分において第１保持部６２側にわずかに弾性変形するが、傾斜部６４ｃ、戻り部６４ｅ及び平行部６４ｇについてはほとんど弾性変形しない。また、傾斜部６４ｃは、屈曲部６４ｂ及び屈曲部６４ｄの弾性変形により、屈曲部６４ｄ側が基板面１０１ａに近づく方向に傾斜する。すなわち、接続部６５の屈曲部６５ｂを基板面１０１ａ側に避けるように傾斜する。このため、傾斜部６４ｃが接続部６５に接触することが回避される。戻り部６４ｅは、屈曲部６４ｄ及び屈曲部６４ｆの弾性変形により、傾斜角度が大きくなる。平行部６４ｇは、屈曲部６４ｆ及び屈曲部６４ｈの弾性変形により、コネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行な状態を維持したまま第１保持部６２側に移動する。このため、平行部６４ｇが基板面１０１ａに接触することが回避される。 On the other hand, for the straight portion, the vertical portion 64a is slightly elastically deformed toward the first holding portion 62 at the connection portion with the bent portion 64b, but the inclined portion 64c, the return portion 64e, and the parallel portion 64g are hardly elastically deformed. . Further, the inclined portion 64c is inclined in a direction in which the bent portion 64d side approaches the substrate surface 101a due to elastic deformation of the bent portion 64b and the bent portion 64d. That is, it inclines so that the bending part 65b of the connection part 65 may be avoided to the substrate surface 101a side. For this reason, it is avoided that the inclination part 64c contacts the connection part 65. FIG. The return portion 64e has a large inclination angle due to the elastic deformation of the bent portion 64d and the bent portion 64f. The parallel part 64g moves to the first holding part 62 side while maintaining a state parallel to the connector width direction D2 due to elastic deformation of the bent part 64f and the bent part 64h. For this reason, it is avoided that the parallel part 64g contacts the board | substrate surface 101a.
　図１０は、コンタクト１４が弾性変形する状態を示す図であり、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２から離れる場合について示している。図１０に示すように、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２から離れる場合、第２延出部６４ｊを介して弾性変形部６４が第１保持部６２から離れる方向に引っ張られる。この引っ張り力により、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉは、それぞれ屈曲量が小さくなるように、つまり屈曲部の両端の距離が大きくなるように変形する。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state where the contact 14 is elastically deformed, and shows a case where the second holding portion 63 is separated from the first holding portion 62. As shown in FIG. 10, when the second holding portion 63 is separated from the first holding portion 62, the elastic deformation portion 64 is pulled in a direction away from the first holding portion 62 via the second extending portion 64 j. By this pulling force, the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i are deformed so that the amount of bending is reduced, that is, the distance between both ends of the bent portion is increased.
　一方、直線部については、垂直部６４ａが屈曲部６４ｂとの接続部分において第２保持部６３側にわずかに弾性変形するが、傾斜部６４ｃ、戻り部６４ｅ及び平行部６４ｇについてはほとんど弾性変形しない。また、傾斜部６４ｃは、屈曲部６４ｂ及び屈曲部６４ｄの弾性変形により、コネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に対する傾斜角度が浅くなる。戻り部６４ｅは、屈曲部６４ｄ及び屈曲部６４ｆの弾性変形により、基板面１０１ａに対してほぼ垂直になる。平行部６４ｇは、屈曲部６４ｆ及び屈曲部６４ｈの弾性変形により、コネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行な状態を維持したまま第２保持部６３側に移動する。このため、平行部６４ｇが基板面１０１ａに接触することが回避される。 On the other hand, for the straight portion, the vertical portion 64a is slightly elastically deformed toward the second holding portion 63 at the connection portion with the bent portion 64b, but the inclined portion 64c, the return portion 64e, and the parallel portion 64g are hardly elastically deformed. . Further, the inclined portion 64c has a shallow inclination angle with respect to the connector width direction D2 due to elastic deformation of the bent portion 64b and the bent portion 64d. The return portion 64e is substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface 101a due to elastic deformation of the bent portion 64d and the bent portion 64f. The parallel part 64g moves to the second holding part 63 side while maintaining a state parallel to the connector width direction D2 due to elastic deformation of the bent part 64f and the bent part 64h. For this reason, it is avoided that the parallel part 64g contacts the board | substrate surface 101a.
　一方、第１コネクタ１０から第２コネクタ２０を抜去する場合、第１基板１０１及び第２基板１０２に対して、互いに引き離す方向に力を加える。この力により、コンタクト保持部４１が第２コネクタ２０側に引っ張られ、係止部４３が固定インシュレータ１１の支持面３３ａに当接し、係止部４４が固定インシュレータ１１の支持面３４ａに当接する。このため、可動インシュレータ１３は、固定インシュレータ１１によって第２コネクタ２０側への移動が規制される。 On the other hand, when the second connector 20 is removed from the first connector 10, a force is applied to the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 in a direction in which they are separated from each other. With this force, the contact holding portion 41 is pulled toward the second connector 20, the locking portion 43 comes into contact with the support surface 33 a of the fixed insulator 11, and the locking portion 44 comes into contact with the support surface 34 a of the fixed insulator 11. For this reason, the movable insulator 13 is restricted from moving toward the second connector 20 by the fixed insulator 11.
　よって、インシュレータ２１の挿入部５２が固定インシュレータ１１とコンタクト保持部４１との間から引き抜かれる。これにより、コンタクト１４の接続部６５とコンタクト２４の接続部２４ｃとが離間し、コンタクト１４とコンタクト２４との電気的接続が切断される。 Therefore, the insertion portion 52 of the insulator 21 is pulled out from between the fixed insulator 11 and the contact holding portion 41. Thereby, the connection part 65 of the contact 14 and the connection part 24c of the contact 24 are separated, and the electrical connection between the contact 14 and the contact 24 is cut off.
　以上のように、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、弾性変形部６４が直線部である垂直部６４ａと、傾斜部６４ｃと、戻り部６４ｅと、平行部６４ｇとを有し、屈曲部６４ｂと、屈曲部６４ｄと、屈曲部６４ｆと、屈曲部６４ｈと、屈曲部６４ｉとを有する。また、コネクタ１００は、コンタクト配列方向Ｄ１から見た場合において、それぞれの屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉについて、幅方向の寸法が直線部の幅方向の寸法よりも小さい。このため、それぞれの屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉでは、直線部よりも弾性変形しやすくなる。このため、弾性変形部６４は、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉが直線部よりも大きく弾性変形する。これにより、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉにおいて弾性変形量を確保することができ、かつ、直線部において弾性変形部６４の形状を安定させることができる。これにより、弾性変形部６４において弾性変形する部位と形状を安定させる部位とが形成されるため、コンタクト１４の弾性変形部６４の挙動が安定したコネクタ１００を得ることができる。また、コンタクト１４は、弾性変形部６４全体の幅を小さくする場合に比べて、直線部である垂直部６４ａ、傾斜部６４ｃ、戻り部６４ｅ及び平行部６４ｇにおけるバルク抵抗が小さくなるため、電流容量を大きくすることができる。 As described above, the first connector 10 according to the embodiment includes the vertical portion 64a in which the elastic deformation portion 64 is a straight portion, the inclined portion 64c, the return portion 64e, and the parallel portion 64g, and the bent portion 64b. A bent portion 64d, a bent portion 64f, a bent portion 64h, and a bent portion 64i. Further, when viewed from the contact arrangement direction D1, the connector 100 has a width direction dimension of each of the bent portions 64b, 64d, 64f, 64h, and 64i in the width direction of the straight portion. Smaller than dimensions. For this reason, each bent part 64b, bent part 64d, bent part 64f, bent part 64h, and bent part 64i are more easily elastically deformed than the straight part. Therefore, in the elastic deformation portion 64, the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i are elastically deformed more than the straight portion. Thereby, the amount of elastic deformation can be secured in the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i, and the shape of the elastic deformable portion 64 can be stabilized in the straight portion. . Accordingly, the elastically deforming portion 64 is formed with a portion that is elastically deformed and a portion that stabilizes the shape, and thus the connector 100 in which the behavior of the elastic deforming portion 64 of the contact 14 is stable can be obtained. Further, since the contact 14 has a smaller bulk resistance in the vertical portion 64a, the inclined portion 64c, the return portion 64e, and the parallel portion 64g, which are linear portions, compared to the case where the entire width of the elastic deformation portion 64 is reduced, the current capacity is reduced. Can be increased.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０において、屈曲部（屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ、屈曲部６４ｉ）は、幅方向の内周（内周６６ｂ、内周６６ｄ、内周６６ｆ、内周６６ｈ、内周６６ｉ）が、仮想円弧線（仮想円弧線Ｃｂ、仮想円弧線Ｃｄ、仮想円弧線Ｃｆ、仮想円弧線Ｃｈ、仮想円弧線Ｃｉ）に対して幅方向の外周（外周６７ｂ、外周６７ｄ、外周６７ｆ、外周６７ｈ、外周６７ｉ）側に凹んでいるため、コンタクト配列方向Ｄ１に平行な軸線回りの方向に安定して変形することができる。これにより、弾性変形部６４の挙動を安定させることができる。 Further, in the first connector 10 according to the embodiment, the bent portions (the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i) have inner circumferences (inner circumference 66b, inner circumference 66d) in the width direction. , Inner circumference 66f, inner circumference 66h, inner circumference 66i) in the width direction with respect to the virtual arc line (virtual arc line Cb, virtual arc line Cd, virtual arc line Cf, virtual arc line Ch, virtual arc line Ci). Since it is recessed toward the outer periphery (the outer periphery 67b, the outer periphery 67d, the outer periphery 67f, the outer periphery 67h, the outer periphery 67i), it can be stably deformed in the direction around the axis parallel to the contact arrangement direction D1. Thereby, the behavior of the elastic deformation part 64 can be stabilized.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、接続部６５がコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に延出する第１延出部６５ａを有し、弾性変形部６４がコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に延出する第２延出部６４ｊと、屈曲部６４ｉとを有するため、第２延出部６４ｊが基板面１０１ａ側に延出する構成に比べて、弾性変形部６４の長さを確保することができる。このため、弾性変形部６４の柔軟性が向上する。 Moreover, the 1st connector 10 which concerns on embodiment has the 1st extension part 65a from which the connection part 65 extends in the connector width direction D2, and the 2nd extension by which the elastic deformation part 64 extends in the connector width direction D2. Since the protruding portion 64j and the bent portion 64i are provided, the length of the elastically deformable portion 64 can be secured as compared with the configuration in which the second extending portion 64j extends to the substrate surface 101a side. For this reason, the softness | flexibility of the elastic deformation part 64 improves.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、第２延出部６４ｊと第１延出部６５ａとがコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２の同一方向に延出するため、第２保持部６３から第２延出部６４ｊを基板面１０１ａ側に延出する構成に比べて、空間部４２を広く確保することができる。これにより、治具等を用いてコンタクト１４を溝部４１ｂに安定して挿入することができる。 Moreover, since the 2nd extension part 64j and the 1st extension part 65a are extended in the same direction of the connector width direction D2, the 1st connector 10 which concerns on embodiment is 2nd extension from the 2nd holding | maintenance part 63. Compared to the configuration in which the portion 64j extends to the substrate surface 101a side, the space portion 42 can be secured widely. Thereby, the contact 14 can be stably inserted into the groove 41b using a jig or the like.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、弾性変形部６４が垂直部６４ａと、屈曲部６４ｂと、傾斜部６４ｃとを有するため、第２保持部６３が第１保持部６２に近づくように変形する場合であっても、傾斜部６４ｃの傾斜角度が大きくなり、傾斜部６４ｃの屈曲部６４ｄ側が接続部６５を基板面１０１ａ側に回避する。これにより、弾性変形部６４と接続部６５との干渉を回避しつつ、弾性変形部６４の柔軟性を確保することができる。 Further, in the first connector 10 according to the embodiment, the elastically deforming portion 64 has the vertical portion 64a, the bent portion 64b, and the inclined portion 64c, so that the second holding portion 63 approaches the first holding portion 62. Even in the case of deformation, the inclination angle of the inclined portion 64c increases, and the bent portion 64d side of the inclined portion 64c avoids the connecting portion 65 toward the substrate surface 101a side. Thereby, the softness | flexibility of the elastic deformation part 64 can be ensured, avoiding interference with the elastic deformation part 64 and the connection part 65. FIG.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、弾性変形部６４が平行部６４ｇと、屈曲部６４ｆと、屈曲部６４ｈとを有するため、平行部６４ｇがコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行な状態を維持したままコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に移動することができる。これにより、弾性変形部６４の挙動を安定させることができる。 Further, in the first connector 10 according to the embodiment, since the elastic deformation portion 64 includes the parallel portion 64g, the bent portion 64f, and the bent portion 64h, the parallel portion 64g is maintained in a state parallel to the connector width direction D2. The connector can be moved in the connector width direction D2. Thereby, the behavior of the elastic deformation part 64 can be stabilized.
　また、実施形態に係る第１コネクタ１０は、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉが、コンタクト配列方向Ｄ１に直交する平面内での内周側の形状が円弧状であるため、コンタクト配列方向Ｄ１に平行な軸線回りの方向に安定して変形することができる。これにより、弾性変形部６４の挙動を安定させることができる。 In the first connector 10 according to the embodiment, the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i have an inner peripheral shape in a plane orthogonal to the contact arrangement direction D1. Since it has an arc shape, it can be stably deformed in a direction around an axis parallel to the contact arrangement direction D1. Thereby, the behavior of the elastic deformation part 64 can be stabilized.
　本発明の技術範囲は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更を加えることができる。例えば、上記実施形態では、屈曲部６４ｂ、屈曲部６４ｄ、屈曲部６４ｆ、屈曲部６４ｈ及び屈曲部６４ｉが、コンタクト配列方向Ｄ１から見た場合において、内周側の形状が円弧状である場合を例に挙げて説明したが、これに限定するものではなく、楕円の一部、曲線など、円弧状以外の形状であってもよい。 The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, when the bent portion 64b, the bent portion 64d, the bent portion 64f, the bent portion 64h, and the bent portion 64i are viewed from the contact arrangement direction D1, the shape on the inner peripheral side is an arc shape. Although described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and may have a shape other than an arc shape, such as a part of an ellipse or a curved line.
　また、上記実施形態では、第２延出部６４ｊが第２保持部６３から第１保持部６２側に向けてコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に平行に延出する構成を例に挙げて説明したが、これに限定するものではない。例えば、第２延出部６４ｊがコネクタ幅方向Ｄ２に対して傾いた方向に延出する構成であってもよいし、第２保持部６３から第１保持部６２とは反対側に向けて延出する構成であってもよい。 In the above embodiment, the second extending portion 64j extends from the second holding portion 63 toward the first holding portion 62 in parallel with the connector width direction D2 as an example. It is not limited to. For example, the second extending portion 64j may be configured to extend in a direction inclined with respect to the connector width direction D2, or may extend from the second holding portion 63 toward the side opposite to the first holding portion 62. The structure to take out may be sufficient.
