ところで、コネクタは、小型化が可能なように薄型化された低背構造となっており、コネクタが実装された実装基板の表面からフレキシブルプリント配線板が挿入されるコネクタの挿入口までの高さも低い。そのため、フレキシブルプリント配線板をハウジングの挿入口に挿入する際、フレキシブルプリント配線板は、フレキブルプリント配線板の先端部がコネクタの挿入口周りの部位に引っ掛かり、挿入口に挿入し難くなるという問題が生ずる。近年、電子機器の更なる小型化の要望に伴い、コネクタは、より薄型化が可能な低背構造が求められている。コネクタは、より薄型化されると、フレキシブルプリント配線板が挿入されるコネクタの挿入口の高さ寸法も更に小さくなる。そのため、コネクタは、フレキシブルプリント配線板の挿入時にフレキブルプリント配線板がコネクタの挿入口に、より挿入し難くなる傾向にある。   By the way, the connector has a low profile that is thin so that it can be miniaturized, and the height from the surface of the mounting board on which the connector is mounted to the insertion port of the connector where the flexible printed wiring board is inserted is also high.

Therefore, when the flexible printed wiring board is inserted into the insertion slot of the housing, the flexible printed wiring board has a problem that the distal end portion of the flexible printed wiring board is caught by the portion around the insertion opening of the connector and is difficult to insert into the insertion slot. Will occur. In recent years, with the demand for further downsizing of electronic devices, connectors have been required to have a low-profile structure that can be made thinner. When the connector is made thinner, the height dimension of the insertion port of the connector into which the flexible printed wiring board is inserted becomes smaller. Therefore, the connector tends to be more difficult to insert the flexible printed wiring board into the insertion port of the connector when the flexible printed wiring board is inserted.

本発明は、上記の点に鑑みて為されたもので、フレキブルプリント配線板を挿入口に挿入させ易くすることが可能なコネクタを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a connector capable of easily inserting a flexible printed wiring board into an insertion port.

It is preferable to be provided on the holding metal fitting.

このコネクタにおいて、上記ガイド部は、上記フレキシブルプリント配線板が載置可能な載置部と、該載置部から上記フレキシブルプリント配線板の上記挿入口への挿入を案内する高さ位置補正部とを備えており、上記高さ位置補正部は、該高さ位置補正部よりも上記ハウジングの外底面側となる上記載置部の高さから立ち上がり、上記コンタクトの上記挿入口側の先端に設けられ上記接点部と電気的に接続された端子部の高さと略等しい高さを有することが好ましい。   In this connector, the guide portion includes a placement portion on which the flexible printed wiring board can be placed, and a height position correction portion that guides insertion of the flexible printed wiring board from the placement portion into the insertion port. The height position correction unit rises from the height of the mounting portion, which is on the outer bottom surface side of the housing relative to the height position correction unit, and is provided at the tip of the contact on the insertion port side. It is preferable that the height of the terminal portion electrically connected to the contact portion is substantially equal to the height of the terminal portion.

このコネクタにおいて、上記ガイド部は、上記高さ位置補正部の上記フレキシブルプリント配線板の挿抜方向に対する傾斜角が、上記端子部の先端縁部における上記挿抜方向に対する傾斜角と略同一であることが好ましい。   In this connector, the guide portion may have an inclination angle of the height position correction portion with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the flexible printed wiring board substantially the same as an inclination angle with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the distal end edge portion of the terminal portion. preferable.

レバー５は、電気絶縁性を備えた合成樹脂により形成している。レバー５は、ハウジング２の左右方向に細長い長板形状に形成している。レバー５は、ハウジング２側の一端側に設けたカム部５１，５２を回動中心として、ハウジング２に対して回動し起伏自在にハウジング２に保持されている。これにより、レバー５は、ハウジング２内において、ＦＰＣ１００の導体パターン１０１と、突設部３１ａ，３２ａ，４１ａ，４２ａとを圧接させるように、ＦＰＣ１００の厚み方向にコンタクト３，４を押圧する位置と押圧しない位置との間で、ハウジング２に対して起伏自在となる。言い換えれば、レバー５は、ＦＰＣ１００をコネクタ１０から相対的に抜けにくくする抜止位置と、相対的に抜けやすくする非抜止位置との間で、ハウジング２に対して回動自在に保持されている。   The lever 5 is formed of a synthetic resin having electrical insulation. The lever 5 is formed in a long plate shape elongated in the left-right direction of the housing 2. The lever 5 is pivotally held with respect to the housing 2 around the cam portions 51 and 52 provided on one end side on the housing 2 side, and is held by the housing 2 so as to be freely raised and lowered. As a result, the lever 5 is configured to press the contacts 3 and 4 in the thickness direction of the FPC 100 so that the conductor pattern 101 of the FPC 100 and the projecting portions 31a, 32a, 41a, and 42a are pressed in the housing 2. It can be raised and lowered with respect to the housing 2 between the positions not pressed. In other words, the lever 5 is rotatably held with respect to the housing 2 between a retaining position that makes the FPC 100 relatively difficult to remove from the connector 10 and a non-preventing position that makes the FPC 100 relatively easy to remove.

In the connector 10, the distance between the cam portion 51 and the recess 36 is changed by operating the lever 5. The connector 10 is in contact with the cam portion 51 and the recess 36 in a state where the lever 5 is depressed (prevention position), and in the state where the lever 5 is raised (non-prevention position) as shown in FIG. The recess 36 is in a separated state.

また、レバー５のカム部５２は、コンタクト４の凹部４６に対向して設けられている。コネクタ１０では、レバー５の操作により、カム部５２と凹部４６との距離が変化する。コネクタ１０は、レバー５を伏した状態（抜止位置）において、カム部５２と凹部４６とが当接し、図３に示すようにレバー５を起こした状態（非抜止位置）では、カム部５２と凹部４６とが離間した状態となる。コネクタ１０は、レバー５におけるカム部５１の位置を変えることで、カム部５１が凹部３６を押圧する力を変えることができる。同様に、コネクタ１０は、レバー５におけるカム部５２の位置を変えることで、カム部５２が凹部４６を押圧する力を変えることができる。コネクタ１０は、レバー５を伏した状態（抜止位置）において、カム部５１がコンタクト３の凹部３６を押圧する力よりも、カム部５２がコンタクト４の凹部４６を押圧する力の方が強くなるように構成している。   Further, the cam portion 52 of the lever 5 is provided to face the concave portion 46 of the contact 4. In the connector 10, the distance between the cam portion 52 and the recess 46 is changed by the operation of the lever 5. The connector 10 is in contact with the concave portion 46 in the state where the lever 5 is depressed (prevention position), and in the state where the lever 5 is raised (non-prevention position) as shown in FIG. The recess 46 is in a separated state. The connector 10 can change the force with which the cam part 51 presses the recessed part 36 by changing the position of the cam part 51 in the lever 5. Similarly, the connector 10 can change the force with which the cam part 52 presses the recessed part 46 by changing the position of the cam part 52 in the lever 5. In the connector 10 in a state where the lever 5 is depressed (prevention position), the force with which the cam portion 52 presses the concave portion 46 of the contact 4 is stronger than the force with which the cam portion 51 presses the concave portion 36 of the contact 3. It is configured as follows.

In the holding metal fitting 1, one linear portion of the U-shaped locking portion 1 d extends along the side wall portion 2 c of the housing 2. The holding metal fitting 1 has an S-shaped tip portion formed on the tip side of the other linear portion of the U-shaped locking portion 1d. A part of the holding metal fitting 1 that is formed in an S shape protrudes toward the contact storage space 20, and is temporarily held to temporarily hold the FPC 100 by fitting with the temporary holding recess 103 provided in the FPC 100. Part 1c is configured. In addition, the holding metal fitting 1 includes a part of the holding metal fitting 1 that is formed in an S shape, and includes a position correcting portion 1 b on the insertion port 21 side in the insertion / extraction direction of the FPC 100. When the FPC 100 is inserted into the insertion port 21, the position correction unit 1 b can correct the positional deviation of the FPC 100 in the left-right direction of the housing 2 and can be guided to the insertion port 21. A part of the holding metal fitting 1 formed in an S shape is locked to a second housing locking part 2 f provided in the housing 2.

コネクタ１０には、挿入口２１を正面から見ると、ハウジング２の左右方向に、一対の保持金具１が対向して配置されている。保持金具１は、挿入口２１を正面に見て、外形がＵ字形状であり、Ｕ字形状の内部に位置修正部１ｂが収容されているように見える。保持金具１は、挿入口２１を正面に見て、Ｕ字形状の一方の一片部１ｆの上面がハウジング２の覆壁部２ａと略平行な平面を構成するように配置している。また、保持金具１は、挿入口２１を正面に見て、Ｕ字形状の他方の他片部１ｇにおける下面が、ハウジング２の外底面（基壁部２ｂの下面）と略同一平面を構成するように配置している。   When the insertion port 21 is viewed from the front, the connector 10 is provided with a pair of holding metal fittings 1 facing each other in the left-right direction of the housing 2. The holding metal 1 has a U-shaped outer shape when the insertion port 21 is viewed from the front, and the position correcting portion 1b appears to be accommodated inside the U-shaped. The holding metal fitting 1 is arranged so that the upper surface of one U-shaped one piece portion 1 f forms a plane substantially parallel to the cover wall portion 2 a of the housing 2 when the insertion port 21 is viewed from the front. Further, the holding metal fitting 1 is configured such that the lower surface of the other U-shaped other piece 1g is substantially flush with the outer bottom surface of the housing 2 (the lower surface of the base wall portion 2b) when the insertion port 21 is viewed in front. Are arranged as follows.

保持金具１は、ハウジング２の前方に突出されたＵ字形状の他片部１ｇの先端部をガイド部１ａとして利用している。したがって、ガイド部１ａは、挿入口２１の前方に突出してハウジング２に備えられることになる。ガイド部１ａは、基壁部２ｂと略平行な平面を備えＦＰＣ１００を載置可能な載置部１ａ１を有している。また、ガイド部１ａは、コンタクト３の端子部３４との引っ掛かりなく、挿入口２１へのＦＰＣ１００の挿入を案内する高さ位置補正部１ａ２を備えている。載置部１ａ１は、基壁部２ｂや端子部３４の厚みよりも薄くしている。載置部１ａ１は、金属材料により構成しているため、基壁部２ｂより薄くしても強度を保つことができる。ここで、高さ位置補正部１ａ２は、高さ位置補正部１ａ２よりもハウジング２の外底面側となる載置部１ａ１の高さから立ち上がり、コンタクト３の挿入口２１側の先端に設けられ接点部となる突設部３２ａと電気的に接続された端子部３４の高さと略等しい高さとしている。   The holding metal fitting 1 uses the tip of the U-shaped other piece 1g protruding forward of the housing 2 as a guide portion 1a. Therefore, the guide portion 1 a is provided in the housing 2 so as to protrude forward of the insertion port 21. The guide portion 1a has a placement portion 1a1 that has a plane substantially parallel to the base wall portion 2b and can place the FPC 100 thereon. In addition, the guide portion 1 a includes a height position correction portion 1 a 2 that guides insertion of the FPC 100 into the insertion port 21 without being caught with the terminal portion 34 of the contact 3. The placement portion 1a1 is thinner than the thickness of the base wall portion 2b and the terminal portion 34. Since the mounting portion 1a1 is made of a metal material, the strength can be maintained even if it is thinner than the base wall portion 2b. Here, the height position correction part 1a2 rises from the height of the mounting part 1a1 on the outer bottom surface side of the housing 2 relative to the height position correction part 1a2, and is provided at the tip of the contact 3 on the insertion port 21 side. The height is approximately equal to the height of the terminal portion 34 electrically connected to the protruding portion 32a.

また、ガイド部１ａは、高さ位置補正部１ａ２のＦＰＣ１００の挿抜方向に対する傾斜角が、端子部３４の先端縁部３４ａにおける挿抜方向に対する傾斜角と略同一としている。ガイド部１ａは、高さ位置補正部１ａ２のＦＰＣ１００の挿抜方向に対する傾斜角が、端子部３４の先端縁部３４ａにおける挿抜方向に対する傾斜角と略同一であることが好ましいが、異なっていてもよい。いずれにしても、コネクタ１０は、ガイド部１ａを備えていないものと比較して、ＦＰＣ１００を挿入口２１に挿入しやすくすることが可能となる。また、ガイド部１ａは、端子部３４の先端縁部３４ａを設けない場合、高さ位置補正部１ａ２の高さが端子部３４における天面３４ｂ以上の高さとなるように、高さ位置補正部１ａ２のＦＰＣ１００の挿抜方向に対する傾斜角を適宜に設定すればよい。言い換えれば、ガイド部１ａは、端子部３４の先端が挿抜方向に対して直角の場合、高さ位置補正部１ａ２の高さを、端子部３４における天面３４ｂ以上の高さにすればよい。   Further, in the guide portion 1a, the inclination angle of the height position correction portion 1a2 with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the FPC 100 is substantially the same as the inclination angle of the tip edge portion 34a of the terminal portion 34 with respect to the insertion / extraction direction. In the guide portion 1a, the inclination angle of the height position correction portion 1a2 with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the FPC 100 is preferably substantially the same as the inclination angle with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the tip edge portion 34a of the terminal portion 34, but may be different. . In any case, the connector 10 can facilitate the insertion of the FPC 100 into the insertion port 21 as compared with the connector 10 that does not include the guide portion 1a. Further, when the guide portion 1a is not provided with the tip end edge portion 34a of the terminal portion 34, the height position correction portion is set so that the height of the height position correction portion 1a2 is higher than the top surface 34b of the terminal portion 34. What is necessary is just to set the inclination-angle with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of FPC100 of 1a2 suitably. In other words, the guide part 1a should just make height of the height position correction | amendment part 1a2 more than the top surface 34b in the terminal part 34, when the front-end | tip of the terminal part 34 is right angle with respect to the insertion / extraction direction.

ガイド部１ａは、挿入口２１の前方に突出していることで、ハウジング２から突出した端子部３４にＦＰＣ１００の先端部が引っ掛かることを抑制することができる。なお、保持金具１のＵ字形状の一片部１ｆには、ＦＰＣ１００の先端を載置部１ａ１に載置させやすいように、開口切欠部１ｅを備えている。   Since the guide portion 1a protrudes in front of the insertion port 21, the tip portion of the FPC 100 can be prevented from being caught by the terminal portion 34 protruding from the housing 2. The U-shaped one-piece portion 1f of the holding metal fitting 1 is provided with an opening cutout portion 1e so that the tip of the FPC 100 can be easily placed on the placement portion 1a1.

すなわち、本実施形態のコネクタ１０は、ハウジング２の両側端部に設けた保持金具１がＦＰＣ１００を挿入する際のＦＰＣ１００の高さ方向の位置ずれを補正し挿入させ易くするガイド部１ａを備えている。   That is, the connector 10 according to the present embodiment includes a guide portion 1a that corrects a positional deviation in the height direction of the FPC 100 when the holding metal fittings 1 provided on both side ends of the housing 2 insert the FPC 100 to facilitate insertion. Yes.

保持金具１は、金属材料からなる板状体の折り曲げ加工により、比較的簡単に形成することができる。なお、保持金具１には、板状体の折り曲げ加工が行い易いように、切欠部１ａａ，１ｄａを適宜に設ければよい。保持金具１は、切欠部１ａａ，１ｄａを設けるだけでなく、板厚を薄くしたものでもよい。   The holding metal fitting 1 can be formed relatively easily by bending a plate-like body made of a metal material. In addition, what is necessary is just to provide notch part 1aa and 1da suitably in the holding | maintenance metal fitting 1 so that a bending process of a plate-shaped object may be performed easily. The holding metal fitting 1 may not only be provided with the notches 1aa and 1da, but may be one having a reduced plate thickness.

ところで、コネクタ１０は、合成樹脂の成形品を用いてハウジング２を構成させている場合、コネクタ１０の小型化に伴いハウジング２の強度を高めることが必要となる場合もある。本実施形態のコネクタ１０では、ハウジング２の挿入口２１の両側端部にＦＰＣ１００を仮保持する保持金具１を備えることにより、ハウジング２の強度を向上させることが可能となる。   By the way, when the connector 10 comprises the housing 2 using a synthetic resin molded product, it may be necessary to increase the strength of the housing 2 as the connector 10 is downsized. In the connector 10 of the present embodiment, the strength of the housing 2 can be improved by providing the holding metal fitting 1 that temporarily holds the FPC 100 at both end portions of the insertion port 21 of the housing 2.

保持金具１は、ＦＰＣ１００の挿入時において、位置修正部１ｂによりＦＰＣ１００を挿入口２１に挿入しやすくすることが可能となる。さらに、本実施形態のコネクタ１０では、ハウジング２の挿入口２１の両側端部に設けた保持金具１のガイド部１ａがハウジング２から前方に突出している。そのため、コネクタ１０は、ガイド部１ａの載置部１ａ１に載置させたＦＰＣ１００を挿入口２１へ押し込むだけで、載置部１ａ１から高さ位置補正部１ａ２に沿ってＦＰＣ１００の挿入を案内することが可能となる。すなわち、コネクタ１０は、ハウジング２へのＦＰＣ１００の挿入時に、作業者が挿入口２１の位置を正確に意識せずとも、コンタクト３の引っ掛かりを抑制しつつハウジング２内に容易に挿入することが可能となる。   The holding metal fitting 1 can make it easy to insert the FPC 100 into the insertion port 21 by the position correcting portion 1b when the FPC 100 is inserted. Furthermore, in the connector 10 of the present embodiment, the guide portions 1 a of the holding metal fitting 1 provided at both end portions of the insertion port 21 of the housing 2 protrude forward from the housing 2. Therefore, the connector 10 guides the insertion of the FPC 100 from the mounting portion 1a1 along the height position correcting portion 1a2 only by pushing the FPC 100 mounted on the mounting portion 1a1 of the guide portion 1a into the insertion port 21. Is possible. That is, when the FPC 100 is inserted into the housing 2, the connector 10 can be easily inserted into the housing 2 while suppressing the catch of the contact 3 without the operator being aware of the position of the insertion port 21 accurately. It becomes.

本実施形態のコネクタ１０は、保持金具１のガイド部１ａにより、ＦＰＣ１００の高さ方向の位置を補正し、ハウジング２から前方の突出している端子部３４を避けてＦＰＣ１００の挿入を可能としている。これにより、本実施形態のコネクタ１０では、コネクタ１０にＦＰＣ１００を挿入する工程において、保持金具１と一体となったガイド部１ａにて位置ずれ補正し挿入させ易くすることが可能となる。   In the connector 10 of this embodiment, the position of the FPC 100 in the height direction is corrected by the guide portion 1a of the holding metal fitting 1, and the FPC 100 can be inserted while avoiding the terminal portion 34 protruding forward from the housing 2. Thereby, in the connector 10 of this embodiment, in the process of inserting the FPC 100 into the connector 10, it is possible to correct the positional deviation by the guide portion 1 a integrated with the holding metal fitting 1 to facilitate insertion.

そのため、コネクタ１０は、コネクタ１０の小型化に伴い、ＦＰＣ１００の挿入口２１の高さ寸法が小さくなった場合でも、ＦＰＣ１００の挿入時に端子部３４にＦＰＣ１００の先端が引っ掛かり挿入性が低下することを抑制することが可能となる。   Therefore, even when the height of the insertion port 21 of the FPC 100 is reduced with the miniaturization of the connector 10, the connector 10 has a problem that the insertability of the FPC 100 is lowered due to the tip of the FPC 100 being caught by the terminal portion 34 when the FPC 100 is inserted. It becomes possible to suppress.

以下、本実施形態のコネクタ１０にＦＰＣ１００を挿抜する際の動作について説明する。   Hereinafter, an operation when the FPC 100 is inserted into and removed from the connector 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００を接続する前では、図１、図２および図３に示すようにレバー５を略直立する位置（コンタクト３，４の支持部３１，４１と略直交する位置）に配してある。コネクタ１０は、この状態でカム部５１がコンタクト３の凹部３６を押圧していない。そのため、コンタクト３は、バネ部３２および接続部３３に弾性変形が生じておらず、バネ部３２の突設部３２ａは、支持部３１の突設部３１ａからＦＰＣ１００が挿抜可能な所定の間隔に離れている。同様に、コネクタ１０は、この状態でカム部５２がコンタクト４の凹部４６を押圧していない。そのため、コンタクト４は、バネ部４２および接続部４３に弾性変形が生じておらず、バネ部４２の突設部４２ａは、支持部４１の突設部４１ａからＦＰＣ１００が挿抜可能な所定の間隔に離れている。すなわち、コネクタ１０は、レバー５が非抜止位置にある状態では、コネクタ３の突設部３１ａと突設部３２ａとの間およびコネクタ４の突設部４１ａと突設部４２ａとの間が、それぞれＦＰＣ１００の厚みよりも大きな離間距離となるように構成している。   Before connecting the FPC 100, the connector 10 is arranged at a position where the lever 5 is substantially upright (a position substantially orthogonal to the support portions 31 and 41 of the contacts 3 and 4) as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. It is. In the connector 10, the cam portion 51 does not press the concave portion 36 of the contact 3 in this state. Therefore, the contact 3 is not elastically deformed in the spring portion 32 and the connection portion 33, and the protruding portion 32 a of the spring portion 32 is at a predetermined interval at which the FPC 100 can be inserted and removed from the protruding portion 31 a of the support portion 31. is seperated. Similarly, in the connector 10, the cam portion 52 does not press the concave portion 46 of the contact 4 in this state. Therefore, the contact 4 is not elastically deformed in the spring portion 42 and the connection portion 43, and the protruding portion 42 a of the spring portion 42 has a predetermined interval at which the FPC 100 can be inserted and removed from the protruding portion 41 a of the support portion 41. is seperated. That is, in the state where the lever 5 is in the non-removable position, the connector 10 has a space between the protruding portion 31a and the protruding portion 32a of the connector 3 and between the protruding portion 41a and the protruding portion 42a of the connector 4. Each of them is configured to have a separation distance larger than the thickness of the FPC 100.

したがって、コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００をコネクタ１０に挿入する際の挿入抵抗を小さくでき、柔らかいＦＰＣ１００をコネクタ１０に容易に挿入することが可能となる。なお、コネクタ１０は、レバー５を非抜止位置に回転させた状態で、コンタクト３の突設部３１ａ，３２ａやコンタクト４の突設部４１ａ，４２ａがＦＰＣ１００と接触するものでもよい。コネクタ１０は、レバー５を非抜止位置に回転させた状態でもコンタクト３の接点部となる突設部３２ａやコンタクト４の接点部となる突設部４２ａがＦＰＣ１００と接触することで、ＦＰＣ１００を挿入すると同時に電気的な接続を確立させることが可能となる。なお、コネクタ１０は、レバー５が抜止位置にある場合に比べて、コンタクト３，４がＦＰＣ１００を保持する保持力は相対的に小さい状態となっているので、ＦＰＣ１００が相対的に抜けやすい状態となっている。   Therefore, the connector 10 can reduce the insertion resistance when the FPC 100 is inserted into the connector 10, and the soft FPC 100 can be easily inserted into the connector 10. The connector 10 may be such that the protruding portions 31a and 32a of the contact 3 and the protruding portions 41a and 42a of the contact 4 are in contact with the FPC 100 in a state where the lever 5 is rotated to the non-removable position. The connector 10 is inserted into the FPC 100 when the protruding portion 32a serving as the contact portion of the contact 3 or the protruding portion 42a serving as the contact portion of the contact 4 is in contact with the FPC 100 even when the lever 5 is rotated to the non-removable position. At the same time, an electrical connection can be established. Note that the connector 10 has a relatively small holding force for the contacts 3 and 4 to hold the FPC 100 as compared with the case where the lever 5 is in the retaining position, so that the FPC 100 is relatively easy to come off. It has become.

コネクタ１０は、レバー５を非抜止位置に配置させた状態で、挿入口２１からハウジング２の内部にＦＰＣ１００を挿入すると、隔壁２３に設けたガイド溝２４に沿ってＦＰＣ１００が案内される。   In the connector 10, when the FPC 100 is inserted into the housing 2 from the insertion port 21 in a state where the lever 5 is disposed at the non-preventing position, the FPC 100 is guided along the guide groove 24 provided in the partition wall 23.

ここで、コネクタ１０には、ハウジング２の挿入口２１の前方に突出され、ＦＰＣ１００を載置してコンタクト３との引っ掛かりなく挿入口２１に挿入可能な保持金具１のガイド部１ａを備えている。コネクタ１０は、ハウジング２の挿入口２１から突出した載置部１ａ１にＦＰＣ１００の先端部を載置おくことができる。コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００を挿入口２１向かって挿入させた場合、載置部１ａ１と連続一体となった高さ位置補正部１ａ２に沿ってＦＰＣ１００が挿入される。これにより、コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００の先端部をガイド部１ａに沿って挿入口２１に案内させることができる。   Here, the connector 10 includes a guide portion 1 a of the holding metal fitting 1 that protrudes forward of the insertion port 21 of the housing 2 and can be inserted into the insertion port 21 without being caught by the contact 3 by placing the FPC 100. . The connector 10 can place the tip end portion of the FPC 100 on the placement portion 1 a 1 protruding from the insertion port 21 of the housing 2. In the connector 10, when the FPC 100 is inserted toward the insertion port 21, the FPC 100 is inserted along the height position correction unit 1a2 that is continuously integrated with the placement unit 1a1. Thereby, the connector 10 can guide the front-end | tip part of FPC100 to the insertion port 21 along the guide part 1a.

挿入口２１からコネクタ１０の内部に挿入されたＦＰＣ１００は、コンタクト３，４の支持部３１，４１とバネ部３２，４２の間に挿入される。ＦＰＣ１００をハウジング２の内部にさらに挿入すると、ＦＰＣ１００の前端部がコンタクト３の位置決め面２３ａに当接する。これによって、コネクタ１０は、コンタクト３，４に対してＦＰＣ１００の前端部の位置を位置決めすることができる。   The FPC 100 inserted into the connector 10 from the insertion port 21 is inserted between the support portions 31 and 41 of the contacts 3 and 4 and the spring portions 32 and 42. When the FPC 100 is further inserted into the housing 2, the front end portion of the FPC 100 comes into contact with the positioning surface 23 a of the contact 3. Thus, the connector 10 can position the front end portion of the FPC 100 with respect to the contacts 3 and 4.

コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００をハウジング２の内部に挿入した状態で、レバー５をコンタクト３，４の支持部３１，４１と略平行する位置まで回動させると、レバー５のカム部５１がコンタクト３の凹部３６を押圧する。コンタクト３は、接続部３３を支点としてバネ部３２および接続部３３が弾性変形し、バネ部３２の突設部３２ａが支持部３１側に変位する。これにより、コネクタ１０は、バネ部３２の突設部３２ａがＦＰＣ１００に設けられた導体パターン１０１に弾接する。同様に、コネクタ１０は、レバー５のカム部５２がコンタクト４の凹部４６を押圧する。コンタクト４は、接続部４３を支点としてバネ部４２および接続部４３が弾性変形し、バネ部４２の突設部４２ａが支持部４１側に変位する。これにより、コネクタ１０は、バネ部４２の突設部４２ａがＦＰＣ１００に設けられた導体パターン１０１に弾接する。   When the lever 5 is rotated to a position substantially parallel to the support portions 31, 41 of the contacts 3, 4 with the FPC 100 inserted into the housing 2, the cam portion 51 of the lever 5 The recess 36 is pressed. In the contact 3, the spring part 32 and the connection part 33 are elastically deformed with the connection part 33 as a fulcrum, and the projecting part 32 a of the spring part 32 is displaced toward the support part 31. As a result, in the connector 10, the protruding portion 32 a of the spring portion 32 elastically contacts the conductor pattern 101 provided on the FPC 100. Similarly, in the connector 10, the cam portion 52 of the lever 5 presses the concave portion 46 of the contact 4. In the contact 4, the spring part 42 and the connection part 43 are elastically deformed with the connection part 43 as a fulcrum, and the projecting part 42 a of the spring part 42 is displaced toward the support part 41. As a result, in the connector 10, the protruding portion 42 a of the spring portion 42 comes into elastic contact with the conductor pattern 101 provided on the FPC 100.

コネクタ１０は、レバー５が抜止位置に回転した状態では、バネ部３２の突設部３１ａ，３２ａおよびバネ部４２の突設部４１ａ，４２ａがそれぞれＦＰＣ１００に押し付けられる。コネクタ１０は、バネ部３２の突設部３２ａと支持部３１の突設部３１ａとの間にＦＰＣ１００を挟持する。また、コネクタ１０は、バネ部４２の突設部４２ａと支持部４１の突設部４１ａとの間にＦＰＣ１００を挟持する。コネクタ１０は、コンタクト３，４の接圧により、コンタクト３，４とＦＰＣ１００の導体パターン１０１とが電気的に接続された状態となる。   In the connector 10, the protruding portions 31 a and 32 a of the spring portion 32 and the protruding portions 41 a and 42 a of the spring portion 42 are pressed against the FPC 100 when the lever 5 is rotated to the retaining position. The connector 10 sandwiches the FPC 100 between the protruding portion 32 a of the spring portion 32 and the protruding portion 31 a of the support portion 31. In addition, the connector 10 sandwiches the FPC 100 between the protruding portion 42 a of the spring portion 42 and the protruding portion 41 a of the support portion 41. The connector 10 is in a state where the contacts 3 and 4 and the conductor pattern 101 of the FPC 100 are electrically connected by the contact pressure of the contacts 3 and 4.

一方、コネクタ１０は、ＦＰＣ１００がコネクタ１０に接続されている状態で、レバー５を抜止位置から非抜止位置まで回動させると、カム部５１，５２がコンタクト３，４の凹部３６，４６を押圧する力が弱くなる。コンタクト３，４は、バネ部３２，４２および接続部３３，４３のバネ復帰力によって、バネ部３２，４２の突設部３２ａ，４２ａが変位してＦＰＣ１００から離れる。コネクタ１０は、コンタクト３，４がＦＰＣ１００を挟持する力が弱くなり、ＦＰＣ１００を引き抜きやすくすることが可能となる。   On the other hand, when the lever 5 is rotated from the retaining position to the non-preventing position with the FPC 100 connected to the connector 10, the cam portions 51 and 52 press the concave portions 36 and 46 of the contacts 3 and 4. The power to do is weakened. In the contacts 3, 4, the projecting portions 32 a, 42 a of the spring portions 32, 42 are displaced by the spring restoring force of the spring portions 32, 42 and the connection portions 33, 43 and separated from the FPC 100. In the connector 10, the force with which the contacts 3 and 4 hold the FPC 100 becomes weak, and the FPC 100 can be easily pulled out.

本実施形態のコネクタ１０は、挿入口２１からＦＰＣ１００を挿入すると、ハウジング２に設けられた位置決め面２３ａにＦＰＣ１００の前端部が当接する。ここで、コネクタ１０は、保持金具１の仮保持部１ｃがＦＰＣ１００の先端部側における幅方向の両端に設けられた仮保持凹部１０３と嵌合することにより、ＦＰＣ１００の仮保持を行う。これにより、コネクタ１０は、挿入したＦＰＣ１００がレバー５により抜け止めされる前に、挿入口２１から抜けることが抑制される。また、コネクタ１０は、コンタクト３，４に対するＦＰＣ１００の相対的な位置を正確に位置決めすることもできる。すなわち、コネクタ１０は、バネ部３２，４２の接点部となる突設部３２ａ，４２ａと、ＦＰＣ１００とが接触する接触位置のずれが生ずることを低減させることができる。コネクタ１０は、コンタクト３，４が所定の位置でＦＰＣ１００と電気的に接触することになり、電気的接続の信頼性を向上させることができる。   In the connector 10 of this embodiment, when the FPC 100 is inserted from the insertion port 21, the front end portion of the FPC 100 comes into contact with the positioning surface 23 a provided in the housing 2. Here, the connector 10 temporarily holds the FPC 100 by fitting the temporary holding portion 1c of the holding metal fitting 1 with the temporary holding recesses 103 provided at both ends in the width direction on the distal end side of the FPC 100. As a result, the connector 10 is prevented from coming out of the insertion port 21 before the inserted FPC 100 is prevented from coming off by the lever 5. Further, the connector 10 can accurately position the relative position of the FPC 100 with respect to the contacts 3 and 4. That is, the connector 10 can reduce the occurrence of a shift in the contact position where the projecting portions 32a and 42a serving as the contact portions of the spring portions 32 and 42 and the FPC 100 come into contact with each other. In the connector 10, the contacts 3 and 4 are in electrical contact with the FPC 100 at a predetermined position, so that the reliability of electrical connection can be improved.

なお、本実施形態のハウジング１０に接続されるＦＰＣ１００は、図４に示すように、コンタクト３が接触する導体パターン１０１の幅広部１０２を、コンタクト４が接触する導体パターン１０１の幅広部１０２と比較して、ＦＰＣ１００におけるＦＰＣ１００の挿抜方向の先端側に設けている。また、ＦＰＣ１００は、コンタクト４が接触する導体パターン１０１の幅広部１０２の長さ寸法を、ＦＰＣ１００の挿抜方向におけるコンタクト３が接触する幅広部１０２の長さ寸法に比べて、より長くしている。   In the FPC 100 connected to the housing 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the wide portion 102 of the conductor pattern 101 that contacts the contact 3 is compared with the wide portion 102 of the conductor pattern 101 that contacts the contact 4. And it is provided in the front end side of the insertion / extraction direction of FPC100 in FPC100. Further, in the FPC 100, the length dimension of the wide portion 102 of the conductor pattern 101 with which the contact 4 contacts is made longer than the length dimension of the wide portion 102 with which the contact 3 contacts in the insertion / extraction direction of the FPC 100.
