  The fulcrum portion 32, the elastic portion 34, and the pressing portion 20 are portions for performing the following operations when the FPC 40 or the FFC is inserted. When the pressing portion 36 of the slider 16 rotates between the connecting portion 24 of the contact 14 and the pressing portion 20 after the FPC 40 or the FFC is inserted into the fitting opening 18 of the housing 12, the pressing When the portion 20 is pushed up by the pressing portion 36, the fulcrum 32 of the contact 14 is used as a fulcrum, and the elastic portion 34 of the contact 14 is inclined toward the contact portion 22. Is pressed. The size and shape of the fulcrum portion 32, the elastic portion 34, and the pressing portion 20 are appropriately designed to achieve such an action.

  Further, a protrusion 26 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14, and when the pressing portion 36 of the slider 16 is rotated between the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 and the connecting portion 24, the rotation of the slider 16 is performed. It is desirable to prevent the central portion of the slider 16 from bulging in the direction of arrow "B" in FIG. The size of the protruding portion 26 may be any size as long as it can fulfill such a role, and is appropriately designed so that the pressing portion 36 of the slider 16 is caught.

  Another contact will be described with reference to FIG. Here, only the differences from the above-described contact 14 will be described. The contact portion 22 with the FPC 40 or FFC provided in a direction extending from the fulcrum portion 32 of the contact 141 is omitted, and the shape is substantially inverted h-shaped.

The shape and size of the lock portion may be any shapes as long as they can be engaged with the housing 12, and are appropriately designed in consideration of the above-described role and the size and strength of the connector.

  The pressing portion 36 is a portion that presses against the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14, and it is desirable that the pressing portion 36 has an elongated shape. In the present embodiment, the pressing portion 36 has an elliptical shape. By making the shape elliptical in this way, the slider 16 is rotated in the direction of the arrow “A” as shown in FIG. 2 (A), and is rotated between the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 and the connecting portion 24. The pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 is lifted by the change in the size of the pressing portion 36, and the FPC 40 or FFC is pressed against the contact portion 22 of the contact 14. The shape of the pressing portion 36 can be any shape as long as it can rotate between the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 and the connecting portion 24 and can push up the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 due to a difference in size such as a long axis and a short axis. It may be something.

  Further, when the slider 16 is rotated, the repulsive force against the rotation of the slider 16 is strong, so that the central portion of the slider 16 is prevented from expanding in the direction of arrow “B” in FIG. For this purpose, locking holes 30 with which the projecting portions 26 of the contacts 14 are engaged are provided separately and independently. By providing the locking holes 30 separately and independently, it is possible to prevent the slider 16 from increasing in strength and from being deformed during rotation.

  Finally, the housing will be described. This housing is made of an electrically insulating plastic and is manufactured by injection molding of a known technique. The material is appropriately selected in consideration of dimensional stability, workability, cost, and the like. Generally, polybutylene terephthalate (polybutylene terephthalate) is used.

The housing 12 is provided with an insertion groove 38 in which a required number of contacts 14 and 141 are mounted, and is fixed by press-fitting, hooking (lance), welding, or the like. Further, on both sides in the longitudinal direction, bearing portions are provided on which the shaft 28 of the slider 16 is rotatably mounted. The shape and size of the bearing may be any as long as the shaft 28 of the slider 16 is mounted so as to be rotatable. The bearing is appropriately designed in consideration of its role, the strength and size of the housing 12, and the like. Note that locking portions are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction at positions corresponding to the locking portions of the slider 16.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The main components are the same as those described above, and include a housing, a contact, and a slider. The feature of the present embodiment is that the two types of contacts 14 and 142 are arranged in a staggered manner by changing the insertion direction into the housing 121. The pitch can be reduced by arranging the contacts in a staggered manner by changing the insertion direction. This is for low profile. The housing 121 and the slider 161 are the same as those described above, and the one contact 14 is also the same as that in FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another connector, FIG. 6A is a perspective view of the connector of the present invention cut at the other contact portion with the slider opened, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the connector of the present invention cut at another contact portion in a state where the slider is closed.

  The other contact 142 is also made of metal and is manufactured by a known press working. The material is the same as that of the one contact 14.

  The other contact 142 has two types, a substantially inverted h-shape and a substantially H-shape, similarly to the one contact 14. The substantially inverted h-shaped contact mainly contacts the FPC 40 or the FFC. The connecting portion 24 connected to the portion 22 and the substrate, the fixing portion 42 fixed to the housing 121, the elastic portion 34 and the fulcrum portion 32 provided between the contact portion 22 and the connecting portion 24, and extending from the elastic portion 34.

The substantially H-shaped member is provided with an extension 44 extending from the fulcrum 32 in a direction opposite to the connecting portion 24. The contact portion 22 has a convex shape so as to easily contact the FPC 40 or the FFC, and the connection portion 24 is a surface mount type (SMT) as shown in FIG. good.

  When the FPC 40 or FFC is inserted, the pressing portion 36 of the slider 161 presses the contact When rotating between the receiving portion 20 and the housing 121 or between the pressing portion 20 and the extending portion 44, the pressing portion 20 is pushed up by the pressing portion 36, so that the fulcrum portion 32 of the contact 142 is raised. As a fulcrum, the elastic portion 34 of the contact 142 is inclined toward the contact portion 22, so that the contact portion 22 is pressed toward the FPC 40 or the FFC. The size and shape of the fulcrum portion 32, the elastic portion 34, and the pressing portion 20 are appropriately designed to achieve such an action.

  Also, a protrusion 26 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 20 of the contact 142, and when the pressing portion 36 of the slider 161 is rotated, the repulsive force against the rotation of the slider 161 is strong. 6 (B), it is desirable to prevent swelling in the direction of arrow “c”. However, considering the strength of the slider due to the narrowing of the pitch, one of the two types of contacts 14 It is enough if provided. The size of the protrusion 26 may be any size as long as it can fulfill such a role, and is appropriately designed so that the pressing portion 36 of the slider 161 is caught.

  As is clear from the above description, according to the connector of the present invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  (1) Since the sliders 16 and 161 are rotated on the contact connecting portion 24 side of the housings 12 and 121, the contact portions 22 of the contacts 14, 141 and 142 are brought into contact with the FPC 40 or the FFC. , 121 without inserting the sliders 16, 161 into the fitting openings 18, and the height of the connectors 10, 101 can be reduced by the thickness of the sliders 16, 161.

  (2) Two types of contacts 14 and 142 are prepared, one contact 14 is inserted from the connection part 24 side, the other contact 142 is inserted from the fitting port 18 side, and the slider 161 is connected to the connection part 24 side. By rotating, narrowing and low profile can be easily achieved.

Since the contact portion 22 is pressed toward the FPC 40 or the FFC side by inclining the portion 34 toward the contact portion 22, the contact portion 22 of the contacts 14 and 142 can be reliably connected to the FPC 40 or the FFC. .

  (5) Since the protruding portion 26 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 29 of one of the contacts 14 or both 14 and 142, the pressing portion 36 of the slider 161 is connected between the pressing portion 20 of the contact 14 and the connecting portion 24. Even when the slider 161 has a strong repulsive force with respect to the rotation of the slider 161 during rotation between them, it is possible to prevent the central portion of the slider 161 from expanding in the direction of the arrow “b”.

  (6) Since the pressing portions 36 of the sliders 16 and 161 have an elongated shape (having a long axis and a short axis), when the sliders 16 and 161 are rotated, the contacts 14 and 141 are surely formed. , 142 is pushed up, and the contact portion 22 can be easily brought into contact with the FPC 40 or the FFC.

  (7) The sliders 16, 161 are provided with locking holes 30 that engage with a required number of the projections 26 of the contacts 14, 141, and the locking holes 30 are made independent. The 161 is strong and can be reliably rotated, and does not deform.

  (8) If the contact portion 22 that comes into contact with the FPC 40 or the FFC is provided also in the direction extending from the fulcrum portion 32 of the one contact 14, the contact portions are provided on both sides in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the FPC 40 or the FFC Since the FPC 40 or FFC is sandwiched between the contact portions 22, 22, the FPC 40 or FFC can be reliably brought into contact with the FPC 40 or FFC.

  (9) If the contact portion 22 that contacts the FPC 40 or the FFC is also provided between the fulcrum portion 32 of the other contact 142 and the connection portion 24, the contact portion 22 is provided on both sides at right angles to the insertion direction of the FPC 40 or the FFC. Since the contact portion 22 is provided, and the FPC 40 or FFC is sandwiched between the contact portions 22, 22, the FPC 40 or FFC can be reliably contacted with the FPC 40 or FFC.

  (10) The side into which the FPC 40 or the FFC is inserted is the fitting opening 18 of the housing 12, 121, and the operation of pressing the contact portion 22 of the contact 14, 141, 142 against the FPC 40 or the FFC is performed on the connection portion 24 side of the contact 14, 141, 142.
