The portion to be maintained 514 is a concave portion recessed inward in the width direction (Y direction). The maintained portion 514 is used for maintaining the state in which the tray 500 is accommodated in the connector main body 100, as will be described later. The door portion 520 is formed with a pin insertion hole 522 penetrating in the front-rear direction (X direction).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the connector main body 100 is open at the front end 102. Further, as can be understood from FIGS. 1 and 6, the connector main body 100 includes an accommodating portion 104 that can accommodate the tray 500 along the front-rear direction (X direction).

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the connector main body 100 includes a plurality of contacts 110, a housing 120, a cover 160, an eject bar 200, and an eject lever 300.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the housing 120 includes a main portion 130 made of an insulator (resin) and an auxiliary portion 140 made of metal. The main part 130 holds the contact 110.

In the auxiliary part 140 of the present embodiment, a guide part 146 is further formed. The guide portion 146 is separated from the inner wall 144L by a predetermined distance in the width direction (Y direction).

  The cover 160 of the present embodiment is made of metal. As can be understood from FIGS. 3 to 7, the cover 160 includes a top plate 170, two outer walls 180 </ b> R and 180 </ b> L, and a rear wall 190. The top plate 170 is formed with a receiving hole 172 that receives the upper end (+ Z side end portion) of the positioning projection 132, a guide portion 174, and a restricting portion 176.

  As can be understood from FIG. 7, the guide portion 174 is provided at a position far from the outer wall 180R and close to the outer wall 180L. That is, the guide part 174 is provided on the outer wall 180L side.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the restricting portion 176 is located on the outer side in the width direction than the guide portion 174. That is, the restricting portion 176 is located between the guide portion 174 and the outer wall 180L in the width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 13, the rear wall 190 is provided with a relief portion 192 and a reference portion 194. The escape portion 192 is an opening that penetrates the rear wall 190 in the front-rear direction (X direction) and has a rectangular shape that has a length in the width direction. The reference portion 194 is one of the edges of the opening constituting the escape portion 192 and is the furthest edge from the outer wall 180L (that is, the edge farthest from the eject bar 200 as will be understood from the following description). It consists of a part of. Specifically, the reference portion 194 is configured by a corner portion on the front side (−X side) of the above-described edges of the opening constituting the escape portion 192. In other words, the escape portion 192 is recessed rearward from the reference portion 194, and is positioned closer to the eject bar 200 than the reference portion 194 in the width direction. Although the escape portion 192 of the present embodiment is an opening, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as a space that allows an appropriate movement of the eject lever 300 as described later can be secured. The escape portion 192 may not penetrate the rear wall 190.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 7, and 13, soldering portions 182 are provided on the outer walls 180 </ b> R and 180 </ b> L and the rear wall 190. The soldering part 182 is a part to be soldered and fixed to a pad 410 (see FIGS. 2 and 15) provided on the substrate 400.

  As can be understood from FIGS. 6 and 7, the cover 160 is combined with the housing 120, thereby constituting the housing portion 104 described above. Further, in a state where the cover 160 and the housing 120 are combined, the inner side walls 144R and 144L are positioned inside the outer side walls 180R and 180L, respectively, and the guide part 174 is aligned with the guide part 146 in the front-rear direction. It is out. In other words, the guide portion 174 and the guide portion 146 are located apart from the inner wall 144L by a predetermined distance in the width direction (Y direction). In this state, the restricting portion 176 is located between the guide portion 174 or the guide portion 146 and the inner wall 144L in the width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, in the state where the cover 160 and the housing 120 are combined, the reference portion 194 is located behind (+ X side) the positioning protrusion 132 in the front-rear direction (X direction). Moreover, it is located at a position overlapping the positioning protrusion 132 in the width direction (Y direction).

  The eject bar 200 of the present embodiment is made of metal. As shown in FIG. 9, the eject bar 200 has a longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction (X direction), and is bent to have a substantially U-shaped cross section in a plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction. Part 210 and pin abutting part 230 that constitutes the front end (−X side end part) of eject bar 200.

  The pin abutting portion 230 is a portion that is formed by a flat plate portion orthogonal to the front-rear direction and is pressed by a pin (not shown) inserted through a pin insertion hole 522 (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the tray 500.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main portion 210 is provided with a deformation preventing portion 212 and a contact wall 214. The deformation preventing portion 212 is located behind the pin abutting portion 230 (+ X side), and when the pin abutting portion 230 is pressed backward by a pin (not shown), the pin abutting portion 230. From the rear. The contact wall 214 continuously extends rearward from the deformation preventing unit 212. As shown in FIG. 15, since the main part 210 is bent so as to have a substantially U-shaped cross section, it is a part of the main part 210 on the outer wall 180 </ b> L side and is attached to the soldering part 182. The closest portion is provided with R (the portion that draws an arc in the cross section). Therefore, the contact wall 214 can be separated from the soldering portion 182 as compared with the case where the contact wall 214 extends straight and vertically. is made of. Therefore, when the soldering part 182 is fixed by soldering to the pad 410 of the substrate 400, the possibility that the flowing solder contacts the eject bar 200 and the eject bar 200 cannot move appropriately is reduced. can do.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the main portion 210 is formed with a maintenance portion 216 and a recess 218. The maintenance part 216 is a spring having a tip that is bent in a dogleg shape. 6, 7, and 16, it can be understood that when the tray 500 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 104, the U-shaped tip of the maintaining portion 216 is the portion to be maintained of the tray 500. It enters into 514, whereby the accommodation state of the tray 500 is maintained. As shown in FIG. 7, the recess 218 is recessed downward (−Z side).

  As understood from FIGS. 6 and 8, the eject bar 200 is incorporated between the guide portion 146 and the guide portion 174 and the inner wall 144 </ b> L, thereby being movable along the front-rear direction (X direction). It is hold | maintained at the housing 120 so that it may become. The eject bar 200 of the present embodiment is movable between at least two positions, that is, a storage position (see FIG. 14) and a discharge position (see FIGS. 8 and 12). As can be understood from FIGS. 8, 12, and 14, the storage position is located in front of the discharge position. In addition, since the contact wall 214 is elongated and continuously extends rearward (+ X side) from the deformation preventing portion 212, even if an opening (concave portion) is provided in the inner wall 144L, such an opening is provided. A contact wall 214 is provided so as to straddle in the front-rear direction. Thus, since the contact wall 214 is always at least partially overlapped with the inner wall 144L in the front-rear direction, even if an opening is provided in the inner wall 144L, a part of the eject bar 200 is formed in the opening. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the eject bar 200 cannot be appropriately moved in the front-rear direction due to interference.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the eject bar 200 is assembled between the housing 120 and the cover 160, the restricting portion 176 provided on the top plate 170 of the cover 160 moves down the contact wall 214 of the eject bar 200. It is pressed to the side (-Z side), that is, the bottom surface 142 (see FIG. 7) side. In other words, the restricting unit 176 restricts the movement of the eject bar 200 in the vertical direction (Z direction). Therefore, the eject bar 200 according to the present embodiment does not rattle in the connector main body 100 (see FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the restricting portion 176 is provided on the top plate 170 of the cover 160, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the restricting portion 176 may be formed so as to extend inward in the width direction from the outer wall 180L, or may be provided on the auxiliary portion 140 side of the housing 120. However, if the restricting portion is provided on the housing 120 side, it is difficult to secure a space for deformation of the restricting portion. Therefore, the restricting portion is preferably provided on the cover 160 side as in the present embodiment.

  The eject lever 300 of the present embodiment is made of metal. As shown in FIGS. 7, 12, and 14, the eject lever 300 includes a positioning hole 310, a first end (one end) 320, a second end (other end) 330, and a contact surface 340. Have.

  The positioning hole 310 is for receiving the positioning protrusion 132, and is positioned between the first end portion 320 and the second end portion 330. The positioning hole 310 of the present embodiment is a circular hole, but is considerably larger than the positioning protrusion 132 as can be understood from FIGS. 12 and 14. Therefore, in a state where the positioning protrusion 132 is received in the positioning hole 310, the eject lever 300 can rotate around the positioning protrusion 132 and can be translated in a horizontal plane (XY plane) including the front-rear direction and the width direction. It is.

  As shown in FIGS. 8, 12, and 14, the first end portion 320 of the eject lever 300 is received by the concave portion 218 of the eject bar 200 while having a play so as to be movable to some extent within a horizontal plane. . Thus, when the eject bar 200 moves backward (+ X side), the first end 320 is pushed backward by the eject bar 200. That is, when the eject bar 200 moves from the accommodation position (see FIG. 14) to the discharge position (see FIG. 12), the first end portion 320 is moved backward. On the other hand, when the first end portion 320 moves forward (−X side), the eject bar 200 is pushed forward by the first end portion 320. That is, when the first end 320 moves forward when the eject bar 200 is at the discharge position (see FIG. 12), the eject bar 200 moves forward from the discharge position (see FIG. 12) to the storage position (see FIG. 14). Moved. Thus, the first end 320 of the eject lever 300 according to the present embodiment is combined with the eject bar 200 so as to be interlocked with the movement of the eject bar 200 along the front-rear direction.

  As understood from FIG. 12, the second end portion 330 of the eject lever 300 is in contact with the frame rear end portion 512 of the tray 500 when the tray 500 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 104, and the eject bar 200. Is located in the accommodating portion 104 at least when it is in the discharge position.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the contact surface 340 is located behind (+ X side) the positioning hole 310 and is located between the first end portion 320 and the second end portion 330. ing. As apparent from FIGS. 12 and 14, while the eject bar 200 moves between the storage position and the discharge position and the eject lever 300 moves correspondingly, the contact surface 340 is at least partly a reference. It is always in front of the portion 194 and at a position overlapping the reference portion 194 in the width direction. Therefore, when the eject lever 300 moves rearward by inserting the tray 500 or pushing the eject bar 200 rearward, the contact surface 340 comes into contact with the reference portion 194. In this state, the eject lever 300 functions as a lever that uses the reference portion 194 as a fulcrum but the fulcrum itself moves relatively. Accordingly, as understood from FIGS. 12 and 13, for example, when the tray 500 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 104, the second end portion 330 of the eject lever 300 is moved backward by the frame rear end portion 512 of the tray 500. When pushed, the contact surface 340 rotates on the reference portion 194 as a fulcrum while sliding on the reference portion 194, whereby the first end portion 320 of the eject lever 300 moves forward, and the eject bar 200 is moved to the storage position ( (See FIG. 14). Conversely, as shown in FIG. 14, when the pin abutting portion 230 (see FIG. 2) is pressed with a pin (not shown) when the eject bar 200 is in the storage position, the first end portion of the eject lever 300. 320 is also moved backwards. At this time, the entire eject lever 300 is also moved rearward, whereby the contact surface 340 comes into contact with the reference portion 194. In this state, when the eject bar 200 is pushed further rearward until reaching the discharge position and the first end portion 320 moves rearward, the contact surface 340 slides on the reference portion 194 and rotates around the reference portion 194 as a fulcrum. Thereby, the second end portion 330 of the eject lever 300 moves forward, and the tray 500 is discharged.

  Since the eject lever 300 uses the reference portion 194 as a fulcrum for a lever or the like, the positioning protrusion 132 does not have to function as the axis of the rotation operation. Therefore, as described above, there is no problem even if the positioning hole 310 has a considerably larger size than the positioning protrusion 132. Note that even if the positioning projections 132 are used as shafts in correspondence with the sizes of the positioning projections 310, unlike the case of Patent Document 1, the reference portion 194 and the contact surface 340 are finally formed. Since contact is made and backup is performed by the reference portion 194, a problem that only the shaft (positioning protrusion 132) is stressed and the shaft is damaged can be avoided.

  The connector main body 100 of the present embodiment has a size relationship such that a clearance is generated between the contact surface 340 and the reference portion 194 in consideration of assemblability. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the distance between the contact surface 340 of the eject lever 300 and the reference portion 194 varies depending on the state of the eject lever 300. Therefore, the contact surface 340 always moves on the reference portion 194 when the eject lever 300 rotates. It will slide. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, when the eject bar 200 is at the discharge position, the contact surface 340 intersects both the front-rear direction and the width direction. In particular, the contact surface 340 according to the present embodiment uses a portion that extends straight out of the edge of the metal plate that is the base material (that is, an elongated flat surface), and therefore when the eject bar 200 is in the discharge position. The contact surface 340 of the eject lever 300 crosses both the front-rear direction and the width direction. Further, because of such setting, when the eject bar 200 is at the ejection position, a part of the eject lever 300 is always located behind the reference portion 194. The escape portion 192 formed in the cover 160 plays a role of causing a portion of the eject lever 300 located behind the reference portion 194 to escape backward. As long as this function can be ensured, the escape portion 192 may not penetrate the rear wall 190 as described above. When the eject bar 200 is in the ejection position, the eject lever 300 is at least partially located in the escape portion 192 as shown in FIGS. In particular, since the escape portion 192 according to the present embodiment is an opening that penetrates the rear wall 190, when the eject bar 200 is in the discharge position, a part of the eject lever 300 is visible from above (+ Z side). Can do.

  As best shown in FIG. 14, when the eject bar 200 is in the storage position, the contact surface 340 according to the present embodiment is orthogonal to the front-rear direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but if the contact surface 340 when the eject bar 200 is in the storage position is a slope that moves backward as it approaches the eject bar 200, the eject lever Since unnecessary stress may be applied to the reference portion 194 and the positioning protrusion 132 during the rotation operation of the 300, the contact surface 340 when the eject bar 200 is in the storage position is an eject plane that is orthogonal to the front-rear direction. Preferably, the slope is such that it goes backward as it moves away from the bar 200. Among these, considering the size of the connector main body 100 in the front-rear direction, the contact surface 340 when the eject bar 200 is in the storage position is preferably a plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction, as in the present embodiment.

  Although the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the embodiment described above, the positioning hole 310 is circular. However, in the present invention, the positioning hole 310 does not necessarily have a bearing function, and therefore does not have to be circular. Similarly, since the positioning protrusion 132 does not need to have a function as an axis, the positioning protrusion 132 may have a columnar shape other than a column or a weight. However, since the rotation of the eject lever 300 should not be hindered, the positioning protrusion 132 preferably has a cylindrical shape.
