In addition, the plug part 24 should just extend in the direction which closes the insertion port 2 from the both-sides wall of the housing 21, and does not necessarily need to be connected in bridge shape like illustration. The shape is not limited as long as insertion of a finger or the like can be prevented. Moreover, the space | interval of the block parts 24 is a design matter, Comprising: It can set freely according to a condition. Here, the insertion port 23 of the receptacle connector 20 is arranged perpendicular to the substrate 11. Note that the receptacle connector 20 may be fixed to the substrate 11 using the reinforcing metal fitting 13.

  The plug connector 60 mainly includes a plug housing 61 and a contact member 70 fixed to the plug housing 61. The contact member 70 is used in a fixed state by soldering to the substrate 12, for example. Note that the plug connector 60 may be fixed to the substrate 12 using a reinforcing metal fitting 73.

  The plug housing 61 of the plug connector 60 is erected in a comb-like shape along a base 62 and a fitting direction of the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 from the base 62 (indicated by the arrow “A” in the figure).

  The structure of the contact member 30 of the receptacle connector 20 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 is a perspective view of the contact member 30, FIG. 6 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 7 is a plan view thereof.

  The contact member 30 includes a plurality of contacts, for example, four contacts 41, 52, 51, 42, extending from the base portions 40, 50 and having an elastic displacement action in the thickness direction (the arrow “A” direction in the drawing). The plurality of contacts 41, 52, 51, 42 are provided in a state of being erected along the fitting direction between the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 (the arrow “A” direction in the drawing).

  The contactors 41, 52, 51, and 42 include two types. That is, the long contacts 52 and 51 having a relatively long length and the short contacts 41 and 42 having a relatively long length. A substantial difference between the long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42 is whether the length from the bases 40 and 50 is long or short.

  The long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42 having different lengths are respectively arranged in the displacement direction (direction of the arrow “A” in the figure) toward the counterpart contact, and are adjacent to each other. It constitutes a set. For example, the long contact 52 and the short contact 41 may constitute one set, and the long contact 51 and the short contact 42 may constitute one set.

  The long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42 are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined width (“a” in FIG. 6) in the displacement direction (arrow “A” direction in the figure), for example. Corresponding to each contact 52, 51, 41, 42, it has fixing | fixed part 52D, 51D, 41D, 42D. Bent portions 52C, 51C, 41C, and 42C are provided between the fixing portions 52D, 51D, 41D, and 42D and the base portion 40 of the contact member 30, respectively. The bent portions 52C, 51C, and 41C are provided. , 42C, the fixing part 52D and the fixing part 41D, or the fixing part 51D and the fixing part 42D can be in a state of being close to each other. The fixing portion 52D and the fixing portion 41D, or the fixing portion 51D and the fixing portion 42D, which are close to each other, are respectively provided in predetermined holes provided in the substrate 11 (each “hole 16 in FIGS. 12, 13, and 15 to be described later). )) And can be soldered there.

  In order to fix the contact member 30 and the housing 21, press-fitting portions 41E and 51E and press-fitting portions 52E and 42E may be provided on both side portions of the base portions 40 and 50, respectively. By press-fitting them into a predetermined portion of the housing 21, the contact can be provided in a standing state at a predetermined position of the housing 21.

  Further, the long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42 are respectively contacted on the outer side, that is, the contacts on the other side (for example, the contacts on the other side of the long contact 52). The convex contact portions 52A, 51A, and 41A that are convexly curved toward the side away from the displacement contact direction (indicated by the arrow "A" in the figure) from the short contact element 41 and the short contact element 42 of the long contact element 51). , 42A and concave curved portions 52B, 51B, 41B, 42B corresponding thereto.

  When the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted, the convex curved portions 52A, 51A, 41A, and 42A are in elastic contact with at least the contact member 70 partially disposed in the gap 78 of the plug connector 60. The long contactor 51 and the short contactor 42, or the long contactor 52 and the short contactor 41 are respectively inwardly, that is, contacted contacts (for example, long contact) that constitute a pair adjacent to each other. The contact on the other side of the child 52 is the short contact 41, and the contact on the other side of the short contact 41 is the long contact 52). .

  The short contacts 41 and 42 are set to have a shorter length in the fitting direction from the bases 40 and 50 (in the direction of the arrow “A” in the figure) than the long contacts 51 and 52. The contact parts 52A and 51A of the sub-elements 52 and 51 are closer to the fitting side between the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 than the contact parts 41A and 42A of the short contact elements 41 and 42 in the direction along the fitting direction. Placed on the side. As a result, the contact portions 52A and 51A of the long contacts 52 and 51 and the contact portions 41A and 42A of the short contacts 41 and 42 are respectively inward along the displacement direction (indicated by the arrow “A” in the figure). When displaced, the contact portions 41A, 42A vicinity of the short contacts 41, 42 escape to the concave curved spaces 52G, 51G formed inward by the contact portions 52A, 51A of the long contacts 52, 51. The children 52, 51 and the short contacts 41, 42 do not collide. With such a configuration, a sufficient amount of displacement of the contact can be ensured while the apparatus can be downsized.

  When the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted, the long contact 52 and the short contact 41 or the long contact 51 and the short contact 42 are allowed to approach each other as much as possible. A through hole 25 is provided between the contact 52 and the short contact 41 or between the long contact 51 and the short contact 42. By providing the through hole 25 and making the long contact and the short contact as close as possible, collision between the contact and the blocking portion 25 can be prevented and the apparatus can be downsized. In this case, the blocking portion 24 is formed in a bridge shape at the upper portion of the through hole 25, and is positioned approximately in the middle between the long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42.

  In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the long contact 52 and the short contact 42 are made from one plate, and the long contact 51 and the short contact 41 are made from another plate. Although they are formed and combined later, the long contact 52 and the short contact 42 and the long contact 51 and the short contact 41 may be electrically connected to each other. Thus, for example, all of these contacts can be formed by punching and bending a single metal plate. However, it is preferable that the contact member 30 be plated with gold in order to increase the reliability of contact.

  The configuration of the contact member 70 of the plug connector 60 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 8 is a perspective view of the contact member 70, FIG. 9 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 10 is a plan view thereof.

  The contact member 70 includes a plate-like contactor 76 and a contactor 77 erected along the fitting direction of the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60. Each of the contactor 76 and the contactor 77 forms a surface along the fitting direction (the arrow “A” direction in the figure), and the long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contactor 41 included in the contact member 30. , 42 in a state of being opposed to each other along the displacement direction (indicated by the arrow “A” in the figure). On both sides of the contact 76 and the contact 77, press-fit portions 76E and 76E 'and press-fit portions 77E and 77E' may be provided.

  The contact 76 and the contact 77 are respectively disposed on the plug housing 61, more specifically, on each of the two opposing plate-like bodies 63a and 63b constituting one set. Therefore, the contactor 76 and the contactor 77 are provided in a state of being opposed to each other along the displacement direction (indicated by the arrow “A” in the figure), like the two plate-like bodies 63a and 63b.

  The contact 76 and the contact 77 are, for example, a certain predetermined width (“b” in FIG. 9) along the displacement direction (direction of arrow “A” in the figure) of the contacts 52, 41, 42, 51 of the contact member 30. Are spaced apart from each other. The contact 76 is provided with fixing portions 76D and 76D ′, and the contact 77 is provided with fixing portions 77D and 77D ′. Further, the fixing portions 76D and 76D ′ and the contact 76 are connected to each other. Between the fixed portions 77D and 77D ′ and the contact 77, the curved portions 76C and 76C ′ or the curved portions 77C and 77C ′ are provided, respectively. By providing these curved portions 76C, 76C ′, 77C, and 77C ′, the fixed portion 76D and the fixed portion 77D, or the fixed portion 76D ′ and the fixed portion 77D ′ can be brought close to each other. The fixing portion 76D and the fixing portion 77D, or the fixing portion 76D ′ and the fixing portion 77D ′, which are close to each other, are respectively provided in predetermined holes provided in the substrate 12 (refer to FIGS. 12, 13, and 15 described later). It can be inserted into the hole 17 ") and soldered there.

  The contact 76 and the contact 77 may be electrically connected to each other. Therefore, for example, both of the contacts 76 and 77 can be formed by punching and bending a single metal plate. However, the contact member 70 is preferably plated with gold in order to increase the reliability of contact.

11A and 11B are views showing an overview of the connector device 10, where FIG. 11A is a front view thereof, FIG. 11B is a left side view thereof, and FIG. 12 is an II view in FIG. FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 11B. 11 to 13 particularly show the state before the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted together.
On the other hand, FIGS. 14 to 16 are views corresponding to FIGS. 11 to 13 and show a state after the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted.

As is clear from these drawings, when the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted, the gap 78 formed by the plate-like body 63a and the plate-like body 63b of the plug connector 60 is shown in the direction indicated by the arrow “A” in the figure. The long contacts 52 and 51 and the short contacts 41 and 42 of the contact member 30 are accommodated. At the same time, the first gap of the contact 27 formed by the gap 27 formed between the contact sets, that is, the long contact 52 and the short contact 41 or the long contact 51 and the short contact 42. A gap formed between the first group “A” and the second group “B” adjacent to each other in the direction of the arrow “A” illustrated in FIG. 27 accommodates a plate-like body 63 provided with plate-like contacts 76 and 77 in the direction indicated by the arrow “A”.
At this time, in the plate-like body 63a, the contact 76 of the contact member 70 of the plug connector 60 provided on the plate-like body 63a is connected to the long contact 52 and the short contact 42 of the contact member 30 of the receptacle connector 20. The contact portions 52A and the contact portions 42A are elastically contacted to displace the long contact 52 and the short contact 42 toward the plate-like body 63b (and the contact 77) of the contact member 70 of the plug connector 60. On the other hand, in the plate-like body 63b, the contact 77 of the contact member 70 of the plug connector 60 provided on the plate-like body 63b is in contact with the short contact 41 and the long contact 51 of the contact member 30 of the receptacle connector 20. The elastic contact is made at the part 41A and the contact part 51A, and the short contactor 41 and the long contactor 51 are displaced toward the plate-like body 63a (and the contactor 76) of the contact member 70 of the plug connector 60.
At the time of displacement of each contact, the long contact 52 and the short contact 41 constituting each set, or the long contact 51 and the short contact 42 are close to each other. In addition, since the through hole 25 is provided in the closed portion 24, these contacts do not collide with the closed portion 24. As for the long contactor and the short contactor, as described above, the vicinity of the contact parts 41A, 42A of the short contactors 41, 42 is formed inward by the contact parts 52A, 51A of the long contactors 52, 51. Therefore, the long contacts 52, 51 and the short contacts 41, 42 do not collide with each other because they escape to the concave curved spaces 52G, 51G.

Here, since the long contact 51 and the long contact 52 are arranged at the same position in the direction along the fitting direction, the short contact 41 and the short contact 42 are in the direction along the fitting direction. Therefore, when the receptacle connector 20 and the plug connector 60 are fitted together, they can contact the contact 76 and the contact 77 of the contact member 70 at the same timing. In this way, by applying contact at the same timing, the force applied to the contact member 70 by the long contacts 51 and 52 and the short contacts 41 and 42 can be efficiently dispersed. Further, in this embodiment, the long contact 51 and the long contact 52 are arranged in point contrast, and the short contact 41 and the short contact 42 are arranged in point symmetry, respectively. You will receive an evenly distributed force. Therefore, the fitting operation can be made more stable. Furthermore, since the short contacts 41 and 42 are positioned farther from the plug connector 60 than the long contacts 51 and 52 in the fitting direction (the arrow “A” direction in the drawing), the long contacts 51 and 52 are After the contact, the contact member 70 is contacted. As a result, the force received by the contact member 70 can be efficiently dispersed.
In the above embodiment, the contact members 30 and 70 form a pair in the direction of the arrow “A” in the figure, that is, the contact member 30 is a long contact and short contact pair. Has been described as forming a set of the plate-like contact 76 and the plate-like contact 77, but it is not always necessary to form the set, and a contact is provided only on one side in the direction of the arrow "A" in the figure. It may be a configuration.
In addition, a through hole is provided on the lower side of the closed part, and the closed part is supposed to have a bridge shape, but it is sufficient if the displacement of the contactor is allowed, and it is not always necessary to use the through hole. A concave portion or the like may be used, and it is not always necessary to have a bridge shape. For example, a cantilever shape may be used.
