Let the state take. In other words, the pair of support members inserted and fixed at both ends of the insulating housing positions the actuator in such a state that the shaft portion engages with the engagement concave portion provided in each of the plurality of contacts. . As a result, the actuator is rotated with respect to the plurality of contacts with the shaft portion engaged with the engagement recesses provided in each of the plurality of contacts. Displacement in the direction of separation is prevented.

  When the actuator 20 is in a state (first stationary state) shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4 to 6 (hereinafter, referred to as a raised position with respect to the insulating housing). As shown in FIG. 5, the side portions of the abutment portions 23 provided at both edge portions in the contact arrangement direction of the actuator 20 are stepped portions provided at both ends of the insulating housing 11 in the contact arrangement direction. 28. Thereby, the position where the actuator 20 stands up with respect to the insulating housing is stably maintained.

  The wiring board member is inserted into the insulating housing 11 while the actuator 20 is in a first stationary state in which the actuator 20 is in a raised position with respect to the insulating housing. Then, after the wiring board member is inserted into the insulating housing 11, the actuator 20 is rotated from the first stationary state, as shown in FIG. 7 (perspective view) and FIG. 8 (plan view). It is assumed that the state (hereinafter referred to as a position lying with respect to the insulating housing) is shifted to a state (second stationary state). 7 and 8, the illustration of the wiring board member is omitted.

  When the wiring board member is inserted into the insulating housing 11, the actuator 20 is rotated from the first stationary state and shifted to the second stationary state where the actuator 20 is positioned with respect to the insulating housing. Then, the actuator 20 that takes a position inclined with respect to the insulating housing moves the wiring board member inserted into the insulating housing 11 to the beam portion 16 side that constitutes the operating portion of each of the plurality of contacts 13.

When the predetermined position shown in FIG. 12 is reached, the insertion mounting is terminated.

  A portion 18a forming the engagement recess 18 in each of the plurality of contacts 13 abuts against a corresponding one of the plurality of shaft-shaped portions 22 provided in the actuator 20, and presses the shaft-shaped portion 22 with an arrow. When moving in the X direction, the entire actuator 20 is moved in the direction of the arrow X shown in each of FIGS. As the actuator 20 moves in the direction of the arrow X at this time, the contact portion 23 provided on the actuator 20 with respect to the insulating housing 11 provided with the step portions 27, 28, and 29 is changed to the step portion 27. From the abutting state, the state transitions to a state of overcoming the sloped portion between the stepped portion 27 and the stepped portion 28 and abutted against the stepped portion 28, and the abutting portion 24 provided in the actuator 20 is changed to the stepped portion 28. From the state of contact with the stepped portion 28 to the state of contact with the stepped portion 29 over the sloped portion between the stepped portion 28 and the stepped portion 29, and the contact portion 25 provided on the actuator 20 is The state in which the contact portion 29 is brought into contact with the step portion 29 is shifted to a state in which the contact portion 29 is not in contact with the step portion 29. Heading Movement is allowed. When the insertion and mounting of each of the plurality of contacts 13 is completed, the actuator 20 includes the contact portions 23, 24 and 25 provided in the actuator 20 and the steps provided in the insulating housing 11, as shown in FIG.

Has been moved to the position. That is, the actuator 20 is configured to engage each of the plurality of shaft-like portions 22 provided in the actuator 20 with the engagement recess 18 provided in each of the plurality of contacts 13, and is in a position where it is depressed with respect to the insulating housing. Is in a state of taking

  As described above, when the plurality of contacts 13 and the actuator 20 are assembled to the insulating housing 11, the engaging recesses 18 provided in the insulating housing 11 with the shaft-like portions 22 provided in the respective contacts 13. The actuator 20 arranged as a first position that is not engaged with the actuator is moved from the first position by the plurality of contacts 13 that are inserted and mounted in the insulating housing 11, so that a plurality of A second position is assumed in which each of the shaft-like portions 22 is engaged with an engagement recess 18 provided in each of the plurality of contacts 13. Then, the actuator 20 takes the second position, so that the actuator 20 is rotated with respect to the plurality of contacts 13 while being engaged with the plurality of contacts 13. A mechanism is formed in which displacement of the actuator 20 in the direction away from 13 is prevented.

  Therefore, according to the above-described example of the connector device according to the present invention, the actuator 20 is rotated with respect to the plurality of contacts 13 while being engaged with the plurality of contacts 13. The mechanism that prevents the displacement of the actuator 20 in the direction of detachment leads to an increase in the number of components, an increase in the size of the connector device 10 due to an increase in the size of the insulating housing 11, an increase in work processes in assembly work, and the like. It can be configured without any problem.

  The guide portion provided in the insulating housing 11 forms a three-stage stepped portion constituted by the step portions 27, 28 and 29, and the positioning portion provided in the actuator 20 abuts on the contact portion. The actuator 20 has three contact positions different from each other and is constituted by the portions 23, 24, and 25, and the actuator 20 is provided with each of the plurality of shaft-like portions 22 provided to each of the plurality of contacts 13.
