近年、電気・電子機器の小型化が進むにつれ、コネクタの小型化の要求も強くなってきており、コネクタはより一層軽薄短小化が進んできている。
ピッチの狭小化も進む中、ピッチが0.3mm以下の場合、コネクタの狭ピッチ化を図る上で、2種類のコンタクトを用いて、2種類のコンタクトを千鳥(交互)に配置することが多い。一方のコンタクトは基板接続部方向より挿入され、もう一方のコンタクトはFPC挿入側から挿入され、それぞれハウジング等の絶縁体に保持されている。そのため、FPCを挿入(嵌合)させた際に、一方コンタクトの接触部に対向する位置にはハウジング等の絶縁体があるが、もう一方コンタクトの接触部に対向する位置にはハウジング等の絶縁体がないので、前記FPCの厚さによってもう一方コンタクトの接触圧が低下し、接続不良に繋がることがあった。特に、FPCが0.15mm以下ではその傾向が高くなる。
また、前記接続対象物(例えば、FPC)の厚さは客先仕様によっても変わる可能が多い(例えば、0.1〜0.15mmの変化が考えられる)が、前記FPCの厚さに対応するためには別のコネクタを準備するか、別のコンタクト(ギャップ寸法等を変更したもの)を準備し、ハウジング等の絶縁体に挿入しなければならなかった。1つのコネクタやコンタクトで前記FPCの厚さの違いに対応しようとするとFPCの厚さが薄い場合接触圧が低下し、接続不良に繋がってしまうことになり、また、FPCの厚さに対応する別のコネクタやコンタクトを準備すると別の金型が必要になり、管理工数も増え、コストアップに繋がってしまうと言った課題も発生した。
さらに、軽薄短小化が進む中、アクチュエータやスライダー等の回動部材の稼動するスペースを確保するため、コンタクト上面(特にテール側)を露出することが公の事実となっている。しかしながら、コネクタの使用用途によってはコネクタの小型化(低背化)の要求がされることがなく、コンタクトが露出していると、防塵性が悪く、場合によっては接続不良の原因に繋がることも考えられる。また、FPCをコネクタに挿入する際には挿入力の掛からない構造のものが要求され、FPCが完全に嵌合されているかどうかを目視で判別することも要求されている。
In recent years, as electric and electronic devices have been miniaturized, there has been an increasing demand for miniaturization of connectors, and connectors are becoming lighter, thinner and smaller.
While the pitch is being narrowed, when the pitch is 0.3 mm or less, two types of contacts are often arranged in a staggered manner (alternately) using two types of contacts in order to narrow the connector pitch. . One contact is inserted from the direction of the board connecting portion, and the other contact is inserted from the FPC insertion side, and is held by an insulator such as a housing. Therefore, when the FPC is inserted (fitted), there is an insulator such as a housing at a position facing the contact portion of one contact, but an insulation such as a housing is located at the position facing the contact portion of the other contact. Since there was no body, the contact pressure of the other contact was lowered depending on the thickness of the FPC, leading to poor connection. In particular, when the FPC is 0.15 mm or less, the tendency is high.
Further, the thickness of the connection object (for example, FPC) is likely to change depending on customer specifications (for example, a change of 0.1 to 0.15 mm is conceivable), but corresponds to the thickness of the FPC. In order to do this, another connector must be prepared or another contact (with a changed gap size or the like) must be prepared and inserted into an insulator such as a housing. If one connector or contact tries to cope with the difference in the thickness of the FPC, if the thickness of the FPC is small, the contact pressure is reduced, leading to a connection failure, and also corresponding to the thickness of the FPC. If another connector or contact was prepared, another mold would be required, increasing the man-hours for management and increasing the cost.
Furthermore, as lightness, thinness and miniaturization progress, it is a public fact that the contact upper surface (especially the tail side) is exposed in order to secure a space in which a rotating member such as an actuator or a slider operates. However, depending on the usage of the connector, there is no requirement for miniaturization (low profile) of the connector. If the contact is exposed, the dust-proof property is poor, and in some cases, it may cause connection failure. Conceivable. Further, when the FPC is inserted into the connector, a structure having no insertion force is required, and it is also required to visually determine whether or not the FPC is completely fitted.

本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、FPCの厚さにも対応でき、かつ、コストアップにも繋がらなく、安定した接続を得ることができるコネクタ10を提供せんとするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and does not provide a connector 10 that can cope with the thickness of the FPC and can achieve a stable connection without increasing the cost.

(6) Since the insertion portions 49 are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the fitting port 20 of the housing 121, the sheet member 19 is formed into one plate-like piece and is inserted into the insertion portions 49 on both sides in the longitudinal direction. Thus, it is possible to easily cope with a change in the thickness of the FPC 64, which does not lead to an increase in cost, and a stable connection can be obtained without deformation of the FPC.
(7) Since the convex portion 74 is provided on the sheet member 19 of the plate-like piece at a position corresponding to the other contact 161, it is possible to easily cope with the thickness change of the FPC 64, thereby increasing the cost. In other words, a stable connection can be obtained without deformation of the FPC.
(8) Since the thickness of the sheet member 19 of the plate-like piece is changed in the range of 0.1 to 1 mm depending on the thickness of the FPC 64, it can easily cope with the thickness change of the FPC 64, A stable connection can be obtained without increasing the cost and without deforming the FPC.
(9) At least one engagement portion 78 or a locking portion 80 for preventing the sheet member 19 from being lifted is provided at a predetermined position of the sheet member 19, and the engagement with the housing 12 or the contact 16 is performed. Since the engaging portion 78 or the engaging portion 80 that engages with the engaging portion 80 is provided at a position corresponding to the portion 78 or the engaging portion 80, the sheet member 19 is lifted. GAP (gap) dimensions can be adjusted, the insertion force of the connection object is not applied, and even when the thickness of the FPC 64 changes, it is possible to easily cope with the cost increase. Are not connected, and a stable connection can be obtained.
(10) When the rotating member 181 is rotated and the contact 141 is connected to the connection object, the upper wall portion 52 is positioned between the tip of the upper wall portion 52 and the operation portion 56. Between the rotation member 181 and the tip of the rotation member 181 opposite to the operation portion 56 is narrow so that the rotation member 181 does not touch the upper wall portion 52 of the housing 121 during rotation. The height can be reduced by 5 mm or less, and since there is almost no gap, the dustproof property can be improved by 2 to 3 times or more from Patent Document 6.
(11) The rotating member 181 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a distance between the tip of the upper wall portion 52 and the operation portion 56 is set to 0.5 to 0.7 mm. By setting the distance between the operation portion 56 of the moving member 181 and the tip on the opposite side to 0.3 to 0.5 mm, the rotating member 181 does not touch the upper wall portion 52 of the housing 121 during rotation. Therefore, since there is almost no gap, it is possible to improve the dustproof property to 2 to 3 times or more than Patent Document 6.
(12) At least one of the first piece 22 and the second piece 24 is provided with an inclined portion 28 that is inclined in the opposite direction to the fitting opening 20 in the contact 141 and the one and other contacts 141 and 161. Therefore, it leads to a low profile of 2.5 mm or less.

The connector according to one embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a housing 12, a rotating member 18, and contacts 14 and 16. The connector 10 inserts two types of contacts 14 and 16 into the housing 12 from the opposite direction of the fitting port 20, and the connection portions 40 and 40 of the contacts 14 and 16 are arranged in a staggered manner. Narrowing down.

まず、図4に基づいて、2種類のコンタクト14、16について説明する。この2種類のコンタクト14、16は金属製であり、公知技術のプレス加工によって製作されている。前記コンタクト14、16の材質としては、バネ性や導電性などが要求されるので、黄銅やベリリウム銅やリン青銅等を挙げることができる。   First, the two types of contacts 14 and 16 will be described with reference to FIG. The two types of contacts 14 and 16 are made of metal and are manufactured by a known press working. As the material of the contacts 14 and 16, spring property, conductivity and the like are required, and examples thereof include brass, beryllium copper, and phosphor bronze.

最初に、図4(A)の一方のコンタクト14について説明する。一方の前記コンタクト14は図4(A)のように倒略H形状をし、少なくとも前記FPC64と接触する接触部26(図4(A)の図面の上側)と基板等に接続する接続部40と前記ハウジング12に固定する固定部38と連結支点部30と回動部材181によって押圧される押受部32とを備えている。前記接触部26と前記押受部32とは略クランク状の板状片の第一片22の両端に設けられ、前記押受部32の先端には内側に突出した突出部42が設けられている。一端側に前記ハウジング12に挿入される固定部38を有する延設部36と他端側に基板と接続する接続部40とを有する第ニ片24を備え、前記第一片22と前記第二片24はほぼ中間付近で連結支点部30によって連結されている。前記接触部26と前記連結支点部30と前記接続部40とは略クランク形状に配置されており、前記接続部40には前記押受部32側に突出するような突出台44が設けられ、前記押受部32と前記突出台44との間で前記回動部材181の押圧部54が回動するようなっている。本実施例では前記コンタクト14の連結支点部30付近に、前記嵌合口20と反対方向に傾斜する傾斜部28が設けられている。該傾斜部28を設けることで、低背化を図っている。また、前記突出台44は前記回動部材181の押圧部54が回動する際に安定した回動をするために、押受部32と接続部40との間の間隔を調整するためのものであり、突出量はこのようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。   First, one contact 14 in FIG. 4A will be described. One of the contacts 14 has a substantially H-shaped shape as shown in FIG. 4A, and at least a contact portion 26 that contacts the FPC 64 (upper side of the drawing of FIG. 4A) and a connection portion 40 that connects to a substrate or the like. And a fixing portion 38 that is fixed to the housing 12, a connecting fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 that is pressed by the rotating member 181. The contact portion 26 and the pressing portion 32 are provided at both ends of the first piece 22 of a substantially crank-shaped plate piece, and a protruding portion 42 protruding inward is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32. Yes. The first piece 22 and the second piece 24 are provided with an extension part 36 having a fixing part 38 inserted into the housing 12 on one end side and a connection part 40 connected to the substrate on the other end side. The pieces 24 are connected by a connecting fulcrum 30 near the middle. The contact portion 26, the connection fulcrum portion 30, and the connection portion 40 are arranged in a substantially crank shape, and the connection portion 40 is provided with a protruding base 44 that protrudes toward the pressing portion 32, The pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 rotates between the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44. In this embodiment, an inclined portion 28 that is inclined in the direction opposite to the fitting port 20 is provided near the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 14. By providing the inclined portion 28, the height is reduced. The protruding base 44 is for adjusting the interval between the pressing portion 32 and the connecting portion 40 in order to rotate stably when the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 rotates. Therefore, the amount of protrusion is appropriately designed in consideration of the above.

前記接続部40の配置位置としては、基板のランド位置や基板のパターン位置や狭スペース等を考慮して適宜設計する。一方の前記コンタクト14では、前記接続部40を前記押受部32に対向する側に設けている。前記接触部26は、FPC64と接触し易いように凸部形状にしており、前記接続部40は本実施例では図4(A)のように表面実装タイプ(SMT)にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。本実施例では、一方の前記コンタクト141では、前記連結支点部30から前記接触部26に対向するように延設部36を設け、該延設部36上に前記ハウジング121に固定するための固定部38を設けている。前記固定部38の大きさや形状は、保持力や前記ハウジング121の強度等を考慮して適宜設計する。   The arrangement position of the connecting portion 40 is appropriately designed in consideration of the land position of the substrate, the pattern position of the substrate, the narrow space, and the like. In the one contact 14, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32. The contact portion 26 has a convex shape so that it can easily come into contact with the FPC 64. In the present embodiment, the connection portion 40 is a surface mount type (SMT) as shown in FIG. But it ’s okay. In this embodiment, one of the contacts 141 is provided with an extending portion 36 so as to face the contact portion 26 from the connection fulcrum portion 30, and fixing for fixing the housing 121 on the extending portion 36. A portion 38 is provided. The size and shape of the fixing portion 38 are appropriately designed in consideration of the holding force, the strength of the housing 121, and the like.

前記連結支点部30と前記押受部32とは、前記FPC64が挿入された際に、次のような作用を果たすための部分である。前記FPC64が前記ハウジング12の嵌合口20内に挿入された後に、前記回動部材18の押圧部54が前記コンタクト14の接続部40の突出台44と押受部32との間で回動すると、前記押受部32が押圧部54によって押し上げられることで前記コンタクト14の連結支点部30の下端(図4(A)の下側)を支点にし、前記コンタクト14の連結支点部30の上端が前記接触部26側に傾くことによって、前記接触部26が前記FPC64側に押圧される。前記連結支点部30と前記押受部32の大きさや形状は、このような作用を果たすために、適宜設計されている。また、前記コンタクト14の押受部32の先端に突出部42を設け、回動部材181の押圧部54をコンタクト14の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回動させるとき、前記回動部材18の係止孔58に係合させることで、回動部材18の回動に対する強い反発力に対抗することが望ましい。前記突出部42の大きさは、このような役割を果たすことが出来れば如何なる大きさでもよく、回動部材181の係止孔が引っ掛かる程度に適宜設計する。   The connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are parts for performing the following actions when the FPC 64 is inserted. After the FPC 64 is inserted into the fitting port 20 of the housing 12, the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 rotates between the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40 of the contact 14 and the pressing portion 32. When the pressing portion 32 is pushed up by the pressing portion 54, the lower end of the connection fulcrum 30 of the contact 14 (the lower side in FIG. 4A) is used as a fulcrum, and the upper end of the connection fulcrum 30 of the contact 14 is By tilting toward the contact portion 26 side, the contact portion 26 is pressed toward the FPC 64 side. The sizes and shapes of the connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are appropriately designed in order to achieve such an action. Further, a protrusion 42 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32 of the contact 14, and the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 is rotated between the pressing portion 32 of the contact 14 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40. At this time, it is desirable to resist the strong repulsive force against the rotation of the rotating member 18 by engaging with the locking hole 58 of the rotating member 18. The size of the protrusion 42 may be any size as long as it can fulfill such a role, and is appropriately designed to the extent that the locking hole of the rotating member 181 is caught.

次に、もう一方のコンタクト16について説明する。ここでは、上述した一方のコンタクト14との相違部分についてのみ説明する。もう一方の前記コンタクト16も図4(B)のように一方の前記コンタクト14と同様に倒略H字形状をしており、主にFPC64と接触する接触部26(図4(B)の図面の上側)と基板に接続する接続部40とハウジング12に固定する固定部38と連結支点部30と前記回動部材181のよって押圧される押受部32とを備えている。これらの前記接触部26と前記連結支点部30と前記接続部40は、略倒U字形状に配置されている。前記接続部40は、一方のコンタクトと同様に表面実装タイプ(SMT)にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。   Next, the other contact 16 will be described. Here, only a difference from the above-described one contact 14 will be described. The other contact 16 has a substantially H-shaped shape as in the case of the one contact 14 as shown in FIG. 4B, and is mainly a contact portion 26 that comes into contact with the FPC 64 (FIG. 4B). ), A connecting portion 40 connected to the substrate, a fixing portion 38 fixed to the housing 12, a connecting fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 pressed by the rotating member 181. The contact part 26, the connecting fulcrum part 30, and the connection part 40 are arranged in a substantially inverted U shape. The connection portion 40 is of a surface mount type (SMT) as with one contact, but may be a dip type.

一方の前記コンタクト14ともう一方の前記コンタクト16の相違点は、幾分形状的な違いはあるものの第二片24の一端側を基板と接続する接続部40及び前記ハウジング12に挿入される固定部38とを略二股状に配置しことである。それぞれのコンタクト14、16を前記ハウジング12に同一方向(嵌合口20の反対側)から挿入し、前記ハウジングに保持されている。即ち、一方の前記コンタクト14では、前記接続部40を前記押受部32と対向する側に、前記延設部36を前記接触部26と対向する側に設けているのに対し、もう一方の前記コンタクト16では、前記接続部40を前記接触部26と対向する側に前記ハウジング12に挿入される固定部38を有する延設部36から略二股状に配置される。   The difference between the one contact 14 and the other contact 16 is that there is a slight difference in shape, but there is a connection portion 40 that connects one end side of the second piece 24 to the substrate and a fixing inserted into the housing 12. The portion 38 is arranged in a substantially bifurcated shape. The respective contacts 14 and 16 are inserted into the housing 12 from the same direction (opposite the fitting port 20) and are held by the housing. That is, in one contact 14, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32, and the extending portion 36 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, whereas the other contact 14 is provided. In the contact 16, the connection portion 40 is disposed in a substantially bifurcated shape from an extending portion 36 having a fixing portion 38 inserted into the housing 12 on the side facing the contact portion 26.

ここで、前記回動部材181の押圧部54の移動及び回動の仕方について図8に基づいて説明する。
第一に、図8(A)のように前記接続対象物と前記コネクタ101との接続前の状態で、前記押圧部54の下端70側が前記押受部32の突出部42と接続部40の突出台44との間に位置する。
第二に、図8(B)のように前記操作部56を回動(図面の時計回り方向)させると前記押圧部54が嵌合口20と反対方向に移動し、前記押圧部54の下端70側が前記押受部32の突出部42と接続部40の突出台44との間に挟持される。
第三に、図8(C)のように前記操作部56をさらに回動させると第ニの位置で前記押圧部54が押圧部54の中心を回転軸72として回動する。
第四に、図8(D)のように前記操作部56をさらに回動させると第三の位置で前記押圧部54が押圧部54の中心を回転軸72として回動し、前記押圧部54が前記押受部32と前記接続部40の突出台44との間でほぼ垂直になり回転軸72が前記突出部42に接した上端68側に移動する。
第五に、図8(E)のように前記操作部56をさらに回動させると第四の位置で前記押圧部54が前記突出部42に接した上端68側を中心に回動し、前記押圧部54を前記突出部42に引っ掛かった状態に係合させる。
即ち、前記押圧部54は最初は移動し、その後回動し、さらに回動を続けると回転軸72が変化して、省スペース間でコンパクトな回動(回転)を行なうものである。
つまり、本発明のコネクタ101では、前記FPC64等の接続対象物を嵌合口20内に挿入する際に挿入力の掛からない(所謂、ゼロ・インサーション・フォース(ZIF))構造で、前記回動部材181の押圧部54をより前記コンタクト141、161の突出部42側で回動させる(より突出部42側で前記コンタクト141、161の押受部32を押し上げる)ことで小さな力で前記回動部材181をロックできる構造で、かつ、前記回動部材181の押圧部54でより前記コンタクト141,161の突出部42側の押受部32を押し上げることで高い接触力を得られる構造になっている。
Here, how to move and rotate the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the state before the connection object and the connector 101 are connected, the lower end 70 side of the pressing portion 54 is connected to the protruding portion 42 of the pressing portion 32 and the connecting portion 40. It is located between the protrusions 44.
Second, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the operation portion 56 is rotated (clockwise in the drawing), the pressing portion 54 moves in the opposite direction to the fitting port 20, and the lower end 70 of the pressing portion 54. The side is sandwiched between the protruding portion 42 of the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40.
Third, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated, the pressing portion 54 rotates about the center of the pressing portion 54 as the rotation shaft 72 at the second position.
Fourth, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated as shown in FIG. 8D, the pressing portion 54 is rotated about the center of the pressing portion 54 as the rotation shaft 72 at the third position, and the pressing portion 54 is rotated. Becomes substantially vertical between the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40, and the rotating shaft 72 moves to the upper end 68 side in contact with the protruding portion 42.
Fifth, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated as shown in FIG. 8E, the pressing portion 54 is rotated around the upper end 68 side in contact with the protruding portion 42 at the fourth position, The pressing portion 54 is engaged in a state of being caught by the protruding portion 42.
That is, the pressing portion 54 moves first, then rotates, and further rotates, the rotating shaft 72 changes to perform a compact rotation (rotation) between spaces.
That is, the connector 101 of the present invention has a structure in which an insertion force is not applied (so-called zero insertion force (ZIF)) structure when the connection object such as the FPC 64 is inserted into the fitting port 20, and the rotation. The pressing portion 54 of the member 181 is further rotated on the protruding portion 42 side of the contacts 141 and 161 (the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 141 and 161 is further pushed up on the protruding portion 42 side), so that the rotation is performed with a small force. The member 181 can be locked, and the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 can push the pressing portion 32 on the protruding portion 42 side of the contacts 141 and 161 to obtain a high contact force. Yes.

次に、回動部材18について説明する。この回動部材18は電気絶縁性のプラスチックであり、公知技術の射出成形によって製作され、この材質としては寸法安定性や加工性やコスト等を考慮して適宜選択するが、一般的にはポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)やポリアミド(66PA、46PA)や液晶ポリマー(LCP)やポリカーボネート(PC)やこれらの合成材料を挙げることができる。
該回動部材18は主にハウジング12に回動可能に装着される軸部分と前記コンタクト14、16の押受部32を押圧する押圧部54と前記コンタクト14、16の突出部42が係合する係止孔58と操作部56を備えている。本実施例では、前記回動部材18を断面略十字形状にしている。前記軸は、回動部材18を回動するための支点であり、ハウジング12の長手方向両側に回動部材18が回動可能に適宜装着され、上述したように前記押圧部54が回動する際に回転軸72が変化するように前記軸と前記ハウジング12の軸受け部との関係ではクリアランスを設けている。また、長手方向両側には、前記コンタクト14、16の押受部32を押圧した際に回動部材18が高さ(図面の上)方向に持ち上がらないようにするためにハウジング12と係合するロック部が設けられている。ロック部の形状や大きさ等は、ハウジング12に係合できれば如何なるものでもよく、上述の役割やコネクタ10の大きさや強度等を考慮して適宜設計する。
Next, the rotating member 18 will be described. The rotating member 18 is an electrically insulating plastic and is manufactured by a known technique of injection molding. This material is appropriately selected in consideration of dimensional stability, workability, cost, etc. Examples include butylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (66PA, 46PA), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polycarbonate (PC), and synthetic materials thereof.
The rotating member 18 is mainly engaged with a shaft portion rotatably mounted on the housing 12, a pressing portion 54 pressing the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14, 16, and a protruding portion 42 of the contacts 14, 16. A locking hole 58 and an operation portion 56 are provided. In this embodiment, the rotating member 18 has a substantially cross-shaped cross section. The shaft is a fulcrum for rotating the rotating member 18, and the rotating member 18 is appropriately mounted on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the housing 12 so that the pressing portion 54 rotates as described above. At this time, a clearance is provided in the relationship between the shaft and the bearing portion of the housing 12 so that the rotating shaft 72 changes. Further, on both sides in the longitudinal direction, the rotating member 18 is engaged with the housing 12 so that the rotating member 18 does not lift in the height (upward in the drawing) direction when the pressing portion 32 of the contact 14, 16 is pressed. A lock portion is provided. The lock portion may have any shape, size, etc. as long as it can engage with the housing 12 and is appropriately designed in consideration of the above-described role, the size, strength, etc. of the connector 10.

前記回動部材18の前記押圧部54は、コンタクト14、16の押受部32に押し付ける部分であり、その形状としては細長形状にすることが望ましく、本実施例では楕円形状をしている。このように楕円形状にすることによって、図5(A)及び図6(A)のように回動部材18を回動させ、コンタクト14、16の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回転させることで、押圧部54の大きさの変化によりコンタクト14、16の押受部32が持ち上げられ、FPC64をコンタクト14、16の接触部26側に押し付けている。押圧部54の形状としては、コンタクト14、16の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回転でき、長軸と短軸といった大きさの違いによりコンタクト14、16の押受部32を押し上げられれば、如何なるものでもよい。前記押圧部54の形状や大きさは、このようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。   The pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is a portion that is pressed against the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14, 16. The shape of the pressing portion 54 is preferably an elongated shape, and in this embodiment, an elliptical shape. Thus, by making it elliptical shape, the rotation member 18 is rotated as shown in FIGS. 5A and 6A, and the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14 and 16 and the protruding base 44 of the connection portion 40 are rotated. , The pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14 and 16 is lifted by the change in the size of the pressing portion 54, and the FPC 64 is pressed against the contact portion 26 side of the contacts 14 and 16. As the shape of the pressing portion 54, it can be rotated between the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14, 16 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40, and the pressing of the contacts 14, 16 is caused by the difference in size such as the major axis and the minor axis. Any unit can be used as long as the unit 32 can be pushed up. The shape and size of the pressing portion 54 are appropriately designed in consideration of the above.

まず、図12に基づいて、2種類のコンタクト141、161について説明する。この2種類のコンタクト141、161は金属製であり、公知技術のプレス加工によって製作されている。前記コンタクト141、161の材質としては、バネ性や導電性などが要求されるので、黄銅やベリリウム銅やリン青銅等を挙げることができる。   First, two types of contacts 141 and 161 will be described with reference to FIG. The two types of contacts 141 and 161 are made of metal and are manufactured by a known press working. As the material of the contacts 141 and 161, spring property, conductivity and the like are required, and examples thereof include brass, beryllium copper and phosphor bronze.

最初に、図12(A)の一方のコンタクト141について説明する。一方の前記コンタクト141は図12(A)のように倒略H形状をし、少なくとも前記FPC64と接触する接触部26(図12(A)の図面の上側)と基板等に接続する接続部40と前記ハウジング121に固定する固定部38と連結支点部30と回動部材181によって押圧される押受部32とを備えている。前記接触部26と前記押受部32とは略クランク状の板状片の第一片22の両端に設けられ、前記押受部32の先端には内側に突出した突出部42が設けられている。一端側に前記ハウジング121に挿入される固定部38を有する延設部36と他端側に基板と接続する接続部40とを有する第ニ片24を備え、前記第一片22と前記第二片24はほぼ中間付近で連結支点部30によって連結されている。前記接触部26と前記連結支点部30と前記接続部40とは略クランク形状に配置されており、前記接続部40には前記押受部32側に突出するような突出台44が設けられ、前記押受部32と前記突出台44との間で前記回動部材181の押圧部54が回動するようなっている。本実施例では前記コンタクト141の連結支点部30付近に、前記嵌合口20と反対方向に傾斜する傾斜部28が設けられている。該傾斜部28を設けることで、低背化を図っている。また、前記突出台44は前記回動部材181の押圧部54が回動する際に安定した回動をするために、押受部32と接続部40との間の間隔を調整するためのものであり、突出量はこのようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。   First, one contact 141 in FIG. 12A will be described. One of the contacts 141 has a substantially H-shaped shape as shown in FIG. 12A, and at least a contact portion 26 that contacts the FPC 64 (upper side of the drawing of FIG. 12A) and a connection portion 40 that connects to a substrate or the like. And a fixing portion 38 that is fixed to the housing 121, a connecting fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 that is pressed by the rotating member 181. The contact portion 26 and the pressing portion 32 are provided at both ends of the first piece 22 of a substantially crank-shaped plate piece, and a protruding portion 42 protruding inward is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32. Yes. The first piece 22 and the second piece 24 are provided with an extension part 36 having a fixing part 38 inserted into the housing 121 on one end side and a connecting part 40 connected to the substrate on the other end side. The pieces 24 are connected by a connecting fulcrum 30 near the middle. The contact portion 26, the connection fulcrum portion 30, and the connection portion 40 are arranged in a substantially crank shape, and the connection portion 40 is provided with a protruding base 44 that protrudes toward the pressing portion 32, The pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 rotates between the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44. In the present embodiment, an inclined portion 28 that is inclined in the direction opposite to the fitting port 20 is provided in the vicinity of the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 141. By providing the inclined portion 28, the height is reduced. The protruding base 44 is for adjusting the interval between the pressing portion 32 and the connecting portion 40 in order to rotate stably when the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 rotates. Therefore, the amount of protrusion is appropriately designed in consideration of the above.

前記接続部40の配置位置としては、基板のランド位置や基板のパターン位置や狭スペース等を考慮して適宜設計する。即ち、前記接続部40は要求仕様に応じて、前記接触部26に対向する側や前記押受部32に対向する側に設けられることになり、また、ランドの位置によっては千鳥に設けることもある。一方の前記コンタクト141では、前記接続部40を前記押受部32に対向する側に設けている。前記接触部26は、FPC64と接触し易いように凸部形状にしており、前記接続部40は本実施例では図12(A)のように表面実装タイプ(SMT)にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。前記FPC64の仕様によっては、前記接触部26と対向する側にも接触部26を設ける場合もある。即ち、2つの接触部26、26を設けて、前記FPC64を挟持するようにしてもよい。本実施例では、一方の前記コンタクト141では、前記連結支点部30から前記接触部26に対向するように延設部36を設け、該延設部36上に前記ハウジング121に固定するための固定部38を設けている。前記固定部38の大きさや形状は、保持力や前記ハウジング121の強度等を考慮して適宜設計する。   The arrangement position of the connecting portion 40 is appropriately designed in consideration of the land position of the substrate, the pattern position of the substrate, the narrow space, and the like. That is, the connecting part 40 is provided on the side facing the contact part 26 or the side facing the pressing part 32 according to the required specifications, and depending on the position of the land, it may be provided in a staggered manner. is there. In the one contact 141, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32. The contact portion 26 has a convex shape so that it can easily come into contact with the FPC 64. In the present embodiment, the connection portion 40 is a surface mount type (SMT) as shown in FIG. But it ’s okay. Depending on the specifications of the FPC 64, the contact portion 26 may be provided on the side facing the contact portion 26. That is, two contact portions 26 and 26 may be provided to sandwich the FPC 64. In this embodiment, one of the contacts 141 is provided with an extending portion 36 so as to face the contact portion 26 from the connection fulcrum portion 30, and fixing for fixing the housing 121 on the extending portion 36. A portion 38 is provided. The size and shape of the fixing portion 38 are appropriately designed in consideration of the holding force, the strength of the housing 121, and the like.

前記連結支点部30と前記押受部32とは、前記FPC64が挿入された際に、次のような作用を果たすための部分である。前記FPC64が前記ハウジング121の嵌合口20内に挿入された後に、前記回動部材181の押圧部54が前記コンタクト141の接続部40の突出台44と押受部32との間で回動すると、前記押受部32が押圧部54によって押し上げられることで前記コンタクト141の連結支点部30の下端(図12(A)の下側)を支点にし、前記コンタクト141の連結支点部30の上端が前記接触部26側に傾くことによって、前記接触部26が前記FPC64側に押圧される。前記連結支点部30と前記押受部32の大きさや形状は、このような作用を果たすために、適宜設計されている。また、前記コンタクト141の押受部32の先端に突出部42を設け、回動部材181の押圧部54をコンタクト141の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回動させるとき、前記回動部材181の係止孔58に係合させることで、回動部材181の回動に対する強い反発力に対抗することが望ましい。前記突出部42の大きさは、このような役割を果たすことが出来れば如何なる大きさでもよく、回動部材181の係止孔が引っ掛かる程度に適宜設計する。   The connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are parts for performing the following actions when the FPC 64 is inserted. After the FPC 64 is inserted into the fitting port 20 of the housing 121, the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 rotates between the protruding base 44 of the connection portion 40 of the contact 141 and the pressing portion 32. When the pressing portion 32 is pushed up by the pressing portion 54, the lower end of the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 141 (the lower side in FIG. 12A) is used as a fulcrum, and the upper end of the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 141 is By tilting toward the contact portion 26 side, the contact portion 26 is pressed toward the FPC 64 side. The sizes and shapes of the connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are appropriately designed in order to achieve such an action. Further, a protrusion 42 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32 of the contact 141, and the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 is rotated between the pressing portion 32 of the contact 141 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40. At this time, it is desirable to resist the strong repulsive force against the rotation of the rotation member 181 by engaging with the locking hole 58 of the rotation member 181. The size of the protrusion 42 may be any size as long as it can fulfill such a role, and is appropriately designed to the extent that the locking hole of the rotating member 181 is caught.

次に、もう一方のコンタクト161について説明する。ここでは、上述した一方のコンタクト141との相違部分についてのみ説明する。もう一方の前記コンタクト161も図12(B)のように一方の前記コンタクト141と同様に倒略H字形状をしており、主にFPC64と接触する接触部26(図12(B)の図面の上側)と基板に接続する接続部40とハウジング121に固定する固定部38と連結支点部30と前記回動部材181のよって押圧される押受部32とを備えている。これらの前記接触部26と前記連結支点部30と前記接続部40は、略倒U字形状に配置されている。前記接続部40は、一方のコンタクトと同様に表面実装タイプ(SMT)にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。   Next, the other contact 161 will be described. Here, only differences from the above-described one contact 141 will be described. The other contact 161 has a substantially H-shaped shape as in the case of the one contact 141 as shown in FIG. 12B, and the contact portion 26 that mainly contacts the FPC 64 (FIG. 12B). A connecting portion 40 connected to the substrate, a fixing portion 38 fixed to the housing 121, a connecting fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 pressed by the rotating member 181. The contact part 26, the connecting fulcrum part 30, and the connection part 40 are arranged in a substantially inverted U shape. The connection portion 40 is of a surface mount type (SMT) as with one contact, but may be a dip type.

一方の前記コンタクト141ともう一方の前記コンタクト161の相違点は、幾分形状的な違いはあるものの前記接続部40と前記延設部36とが逆にしただけである。即ち、一方の前記コンタクト141では、前記接続部40を前記押受部32と対向する側に、前記延設部36を前記接触部26と対向する側に設けているのに対し、もう一方の前記コンタクト161では、前記接続部40を前記接触部26と対向する側に、前記延設部36を前記押受部32と対向する側に設けている。もう一方の前記コンタクト161の延設部36に前記ハウジング121に固定するための固定部38を設けている。
また、前記シート部材19の浮き上がりを防止するために、前記コンタクト161には後述する前記シート部材19の所定位置の前記係合部78若しくは前記係止部80に対応する位置に前記係合部78若しくは前記係止部80と係合する係止部80若しくは係合部78を設けることが望ましい。前記係止部80とは、前記シート部材19の係合部に対応する形状に適宜設計する。例えば、前記シート部材19の係合部78が略L字形状であれば、前記コンタクト161の係止部80は略L字形状にすることが考えられる。前記係合部78とは、前記シート部材19の係止部80に対応する形状に適宜設計する。例えば、前記シート部材19の係止部80が略L字形状をした溝部であれば、前記コンタクト161の係合部は略L字形状の突起にすることが考えられる。
The difference between one contact 141 and the other contact 161 is only that the connecting portion 40 and the extending portion 36 are reversed, although there are some differences in shape. That is, in one contact 141, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32, and the extending portion 36 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, whereas the other contact 141 is provided on the other side. In the contact 161, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, and the extending portion 36 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32. The extension portion 36 of the other contact 161 is provided with a fixing portion 38 for fixing to the housing 121.
Further, in order to prevent the sheet member 19 from being lifted, the engagement portion 78 is provided at a position corresponding to the engagement portion 78 or the locking portion 80 at a predetermined position of the sheet member 19 described later. Alternatively, it is desirable to provide a locking portion 80 or an engaging portion 78 that engages with the locking portion 80. The locking portion 80 is appropriately designed in a shape corresponding to the engaging portion of the sheet member 19. For example, if the engaging portion 78 of the sheet member 19 is substantially L-shaped, the locking portion 80 of the contact 161 may be substantially L-shaped. The engaging portion 78 is appropriately designed in a shape corresponding to the locking portion 80 of the sheet member 19. For example, if the engaging portion 80 of the sheet member 19 is a groove portion having a substantially L shape, the engaging portion of the contact 161 may be a substantially L-shaped protrusion.

ここで、前記回動部材181の押圧部54の移動及び回動の仕方については、先の実施例で説明したので、ここでの説明は省略する。   Here, since the method of moving and rotating the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 has been described in the previous embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

次に、回動部材181について説明する。この回動部材181は電気絶縁性のプラスチックであり、公知技術の射出成形によって製作され、この材質としては寸法安定性や加工性やコスト等を考慮して適宜選択するが、一般的にはポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)やポリアミド(66PA、46PA)や液晶ポリマー(LCP)やポリカーボネート(PC)やこれらの合成材料を挙げることができる。
該回動部材181は主にハウジング121に回動可能に装着される軸部分と前記コンタクト141、161の押受部32を押圧する押圧部54と前記コンタクト141、161の突出部42が係合する係止孔58と操作部56を備えている。本実施例では、前記回動部材181を断面略十字形状にしている。前記軸は、回動部材181を回動するための支点であり、ハウジング121の長手方向両側に回動部材181が回動可能に適宜装着され、上述したように前記押圧部54が回動する際に回転軸72が変化するように前記軸と前記ハウジング121の軸受け部との関係ではクリアランスを設けている。
Next, the rotation member 181 will be described. The rotating member 181 is an electrically insulating plastic, and is manufactured by a known technique of injection molding. This material is appropriately selected in consideration of dimensional stability, workability, cost, etc. Examples include butylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (66PA, 46PA), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polycarbonate (PC), and synthetic materials thereof.
The rotating member 181 is mainly engaged with a shaft portion rotatably mounted on the housing 121, a pressing portion 54 pressing the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 141, 161, and a protruding portion 42 of the contacts 141, 161. A locking hole 58 and an operation portion 56 are provided. In this embodiment, the rotating member 181 has a substantially cross-shaped cross section. The shaft is a fulcrum for rotating the rotation member 181, and the rotation member 181 is appropriately mounted on both sides of the housing 121 in the longitudinal direction so that the pressing portion 54 rotates as described above. A clearance is provided in the relationship between the shaft and the bearing portion of the housing 121 so that the rotating shaft 72 changes.

前記回動部材181の前記押圧部54は、コンタクト141、161の押受部32に押し付ける部分であり、その形状としては細長形状にすることが望ましく、本実施例では楕円形状をしている。このように楕円形状にすることによって、図13(A)及び図14(A)のように回動部材181を回動させ、コンタクト141、161の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回転させることで、押圧部54の大きさの変化によりコンタクト141、161の押受部32が持ち上げられ、FPC64をコンタクト141、161の接触部26側に押し付けている。押圧部54の形状としては、コンタクト141、161の押受部32と接続部40の突出台44との間で回転でき、長軸と短軸といった大きさの違いによりコンタクト141、161の押受部32を押し上げられれば、如何なるものでもよい。前記押圧部54の形状や大きさは、このようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。また、前記回動部材181には、操作性を考慮して、操作部56が設けられている。特徴的なのは、一方の前記コンタクト141の押受部32と突出台44との間で回動することで、一方及びもう一方の前記コンタクト141、161の押受部32を押し上げて、一方及びもう一方の前記コンタクト141、161の接触部26をFPC64に接触させている。   The pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 181 is a portion that is pressed against the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 141 and 161. The shape of the pressing portion 54 is preferably an elongated shape, and in this embodiment, an elliptical shape. By forming the ellipse in this way, the rotating member 181 is rotated as shown in FIGS. 13A and 14A, so that the pressing portions 32 of the contacts 141 and 161 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40 are obtained. , The pressing portion 32 of the contacts 141 and 161 is lifted by the change in the size of the pressing portion 54, and the FPC 64 is pressed against the contact portion 26 side of the contacts 141 and 161. As the shape of the pressing portion 54, it can be rotated between the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 141 and 161 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40, and the pressing of the contacts 141 and 161 is caused by the difference in size such as the major axis and the minor axis. Any unit can be used as long as the unit 32 can be pushed up. The shape and size of the pressing portion 54 are appropriately designed in consideration of the above. The rotating member 181 is provided with an operation unit 56 in consideration of operability.
