コネクタを提供する。 The present invention is a connector that fits with a mating connector along the vertical direction as a first connector,
The connector is mounted on the board in the vertical direction,
The mating connector includes a mating contact portion and a protruding block,
The protruding block protrudes along the vertical direction,
The protruding block is provided with a mating lock portion,
The connector includes a terminal, a housing, a guide member, and a lock part,
The terminal has a contact portion,
The contact portion is in contact with the mating contact portion in a fitted state in which the connector and the mating connector are fitted,
The housing holds the terminal, and
The housing has an end face in an orthogonal direction perpendicular to the up-down direction,
The locking portion locks the fitted state together with the mating locking portion ,
The guide member has a side portion and two support portions that support the side portion,
The side portion is located away from the end surface of the housing in the orthogonal direction,
The end surface, the side portion, and the support portion of the housing constitute a receiving portion that guides and receives the protruding block when the connector and the mating connector are fitted together,
The side portion and the support portion are located apart from the substrate when the connector is mounted on the substrate,
A lower space communicating with the receiving part is formed outside the end surface of the housing in the orthogonal direction and below the side part and the support part in the up-down direction,
The lower space is provided with a connector in which the guide member is not located.

本発明のコネクタは、ハウジングとガイド部材とを備えている。ガイド部材は、ハウジングの端面に対応している。ガイド部材は、側部と二つの支持部とを有している。側部と二つの支持部は、対応する端面と共に受容部を構成する。受容部は、相手側コネクタの突出ブロックをガイドして受容する。コネクタが基板に実装されたとき、側部と支持部とは基板から離れており、側部と支持部の下側には下部空間が形成されている。特許文献１のコネクタ９０では、脚部９４３がデッドスペースを生じさせるが、本発明において下部空間には、ガイド部材は位置していない。この構成により、下部空間に面する基板の搭載面を有効利用することができ、基板の搭載面の面積利用効率を向上させることができる。 The connector of the present invention includes a housing and a guide member. The guide member corresponds to the end surface of the housing. The guide member has a side portion and two support portions. The side parts and the two supports together with the corresponding end faces constitute a receiving part. The receiving portion guides and receives the protruding block of the mating connector. When the connector is mounted on the board, the side part and the support part are separated from the board, and a lower space is formed below the side part and the support part. In the connector 90 of Patent Document 1, the leg portions 943 create a dead space, but in the present invention, no guide member is located in the lower space. With this configuration, the mounting surface of the board facing the lower space can be effectively used, and the area utilization efficiency of the mounting surface of the board can be improved.

図７に示されるように、複数の端子１２は、ピッチ方向に並んでいる。本実施の形態において、端子１２は、ピッチ方向に沿って二列に並べられている。ただし、本発明はこれに限られない。端子１２は、相手側接触部５４５と夫々対応しており、端子１２の配列は、相手側接触部５４５の配列に依存する。例えば、端子１２は、相手側接触部５４５の配列に応じて、ピッチ方向に一列に並べられていてもよい。
As shown in FIG. 7, the plurality of terminals 12 are arranged in the pitch direction. In this embodiment, the terminals 12 are arranged in two rows along the pitch direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The terminals 12 correspond to the mating contact portions 545, respectively, and the arrangement of the terminals 12 depends on the arrangement of the mating contact portions 545. For example, the terminals 12 may be arranged in a line in the pitch direction depending on the arrangement of the mating contact portions 545.
