[Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure]
[Embodiment 1]
A connector 1 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. A connector 1 according to Embodiment 1 includes a housing 10 , a plurality of terminal fittings 11 , pegs 12 and an operating member 13 . The connector 1 electrically connects the flexible substrate 30 and the terminal fitting 11 while being mounted on the surface of the substrate S. As shown in FIG. In the following description, with respect to the front-rear direction, the side where the flexible substrate 30 is inserted into the housing 10 (lower side in FIG. 2) is defined as the front side. Define downward. As for the horizontal direction, the front side and the back side in FIG. 2 are defined as the left side and the right side.

[Connector configuration]
The housing 10 is made of synthetic resin and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A center portion in the left-right direction of the housing 10 is open on the upper side, and recessed from both end portions in the left-right direction to form an insertion region R1 into which the flexible substrate 30 is inserted. A plurality of cavities 10E are formed in the insertion region R1 (see FIG. 2). Each cavity 10E extends in the front-rear direction, is aligned in the left-right direction, and is recessed downward (see FIG. 2). Terminal fittings 11, which will be described later, are arranged and fixed one by one in each cavity 10E. The terminal fittings 11 arranged in each cavity 10E are arranged in parallel with each other. That is, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of terminal fittings 11 . In addition, a movement restricting portion 10F that extends in the left-right direction and protrudes upward is provided at the rear end portion of the insertion region R1 (see FIG. 2). Moreover, a pair of claw portions 10G projecting upward are provided at both left and right end portions of the front end portion of the insertion region R1. The upper surface of the claw portion 10G is inclined so that the rear end is positioned higher than the front end (see FIG. 2).

The terminal fitting 11 is integrally formed by bending a conductive belt-like metal plate. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal fitting 11 has a U shape as a whole. The terminal fitting 11 has a fixing portion 11A, a base portion 11B, a fulcrum portion 11C, an elastic contact portion 11D, and an anchor portion 11E. The fixing portion 11A is arranged along the substrate S so as to come into contact with a pattern (not shown) provided on the substrate S, and is fixed to the substrate S by soldering. The base portion 11B is continuous with the rear end of the fixed portion 11A and extends rearward. The base portion 11B is arranged so as to contact the bottom surface of the cavity 10E so as not to drop out of the cavity 10E. A protruding portion 11F protruding upward is provided in the center portion of the base portion 11B in the front-rear direction.

The fulcrum portion 11C is continuous with the rear end of the base portion 11B, is curved so as to bulge rearward, and has an upper end extending forward. The fulcrum portion 11C is elastically deformable. The elastic contact portion 11D is continuous with the upper end of the fulcrum portion 11C and extends forward. That is, the fulcrum portion 11C connects one end portion in the length direction of the elastic contact portion 11D and the fixed portion 11A. The elastic contact portion 11D is positioned above the base portion 11B and is inclined toward the base portion 11B toward the front end. A projecting portion 11G that protrudes downward is provided at the central portion in the front-rear direction of the elastic contact portion 11D. The protrusion 11G is arranged above the protrusion 11F. The protrusions 11F and 11G are arranged to face each other.

A flexible substrate 30 is inserted from the front into a region K1 (hereinafter simply referred to as region K1) surrounded by the base portion 11B, the fulcrum portion 11C, and the elastic contact portion 11D. This region K1 is arranged within the insertion region R1. The elastic contact portion 11D is supported by the fixed portion 11A so as to face the insertion region R1 of the flexible substrate 30. As shown in FIG. The projecting portion 11G of the elastic contact portion 11D is in elastic contact with a reinforcing plate 30B of the flexible substrate 30, which will be described later, inserted into the region K1. As a result, the flexible substrate 30 is pressed downward (see FIG. 4). Electrodes 30C, which are patterns formed on the flexible substrate 30, elastically come into contact with the projections 11F of the base 11B (see FIG. 4). Thus, the elastic contact portion 11D functions as means for connecting the flexible substrate 30 and the terminal fitting 11 with a predetermined contact pressure. The anchor portion 11E continues to the front end of the elastic contact portion 11D, is folded upward, and extends rearward along the elastic contact portion 11D.

The peg 12 is made of metal. The peg 12 is formed by bending a metal plate into an L shape, as shown in FIG. The pegs 12 are attached along the left and right side surfaces of the housing 10 one by one. The lower ends of the pegs 12 are bent laterally away from the housing 10, come into contact with a pattern (not shown) formed on the surface of the substrate S, and are fixed by soldering. The housing 10 is attached to the surface of the substrate S via pegs 12 . These pegs 12 are symmetrical about the center of the housing 10 in the left-right direction.

The operation member 13 has a connecting portion 13A made of an insulating material such as synthetic resin, and a pressing operation portion 13B made of metal. The connecting portion 13A has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is arranged along the upper surface of each elastic contact portion 11D so as to connect each elastic contact portion 11D (see FIG. 2). An anchor portion 11E provided in each elastic contact portion 11D is embedded in the connecting portion 13A (see FIG. 2). In other words, the connecting portion 13A is connected to and integrally attached to the plurality of elastic contact portions 11D via the anchor portions 11E.

The pressing operation portion 13B is integrally formed by bending a metal plate such as stainless steel. The pressing operation portion 13B is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and has a pair of engaging portions 13C at both left and right ends thereof. Each engaging portion 13C hangs downward, and the lower end portions thereof are bent toward the center in the left-right direction so as to approach each other. The pressing operation portion 13B is attached to the connecting portion 13A so that the left and right ends of the connecting portion 13A are held from above by a pair of engaging portions 13C. The pressing operation portion 13B attached to the connecting portion 13A extends to the side opposite to the connecting portion 13A with the fulcrum portion 11C of the terminal fitting 11 interposed therebetween (see FIG. 2). The rear side of the pressing operation portion 13B protrudes rearward from the housing 10 .

For example, when the rear end portion of the pressing operation portion 13B is pressed in a direction approaching the substrate S, the fulcrum portion 11C is elastically deformed as shown in FIG. moves toward the substrate S. On the other hand, the front side of the pressing operation portion 13B (that is, the pressing operation portion 13B positioned in front of the fulcrum portion 11C), the connecting portion 13A, and the elastic contact portion 11D are integrally arranged in a direction away from the substrate S. Moving. That is, when the pressing operation portion 13B is pressed, the operation member 13 and the elastic contact portion 11D integrally rotate around the fulcrum portion 11C while elastically deforming the fulcrum portion 11C. As a result, the plurality of elastic contact portions 11D are simultaneously displaced away from the insertion region R1. Thus, the operating member 13 elastically displaces the elastic contact portion 11D to the retracted state in which it is retracted from the insertion region R1.

Further, when the force for pressing the rear end portion of the pressing operation portion 13B toward the substrate S is increased, the rear side of the pressing operation portion 13B moves toward the substrate S. As shown in FIG. Then, the rear side of the pressing operation portion 13B comes into contact with the upper end of the movement restricting portion 10F. The movement restricting portion 10F is arranged between the substrate S and the rear side of the pressing operation portion 13B. Therefore, the movement restricting portion 10F can limit the amount of movement of the pressing operation portion 13B so as to prevent the pressing operation portion 13B from contacting the substrate S.

[Configuration of flexible substrate]
FPC is adopted for the flexible substrate 30 . The flexible substrate 30 is flexible and deformable, and maintains electrical characteristics even when deformed. An end portion 30A of the flexible substrate 30 to be inserted into the housing 10 has a reinforcing plate 30B attached to its upper surface, and a plurality of electrodes 30C extending in the front-rear direction and arranged parallel to each other are exposed and provided on its lower surface. (See Figure 2). A pair of cutouts 30D are formed in the center of the end portion 30A in the front-rear direction so as to be recessed toward the center in the left-right direction (see FIG. 1).

[Connection between flexible board and terminal fitting]
First, a pressing operation is performed to press the rear end portion of the pressing operation portion 13B in a direction approaching the substrate S. As shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the fulcrum portion 11C is elastically deformed, and along with this, the rear side of the pressing operation portion 13B moves toward the substrate S. As shown in FIG. Along with this, the front side of the pressing operation portion 13B (that is, the pressing operation portion 13B positioned in front of the fulcrum portion 11C), the connecting portion 13A, and the elastic contact portion 11D move together in a direction away from the substrate S. . As a result, the front sides of the plurality of elastic contact portions 11D are simultaneously displaced in a direction away from the insertion region R1 (upward).

Next, the end portion 30A of the flexible substrate 30 is inserted into the insertion region R1 from the front of the housing 10 while maintaining the pressing operation on the pressing operation portion 13B. At this time, the flexible substrate 30 is oriented so that the reinforcing plate 30B is arranged on the upper side, and the end portion 30A is inserted into the insertion region R1. Then, the claw portion 10G is arranged in the notch portion 30D of the flexible substrate 30 (see FIG. 4). Thus, the insertion of the flexible substrate 30 into the insertion region R1 is completed.

Next, the pressing operation on the pressing operation portion 13B is terminated. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the projecting portion 11G of the elastic contact portion 11D elastically contacts the reinforcing plate 30B of the flexible substrate 30 inserted into the region K1. Then, the flexible substrate 30 is pressed downward. Then, the electrode 30C of the flexible substrate 30 is elastically brought into contact with the protruding portion 11F of the base portion 11B. Thus, the flexible substrate 30 and the terminal fitting 11 are connected with a predetermined contact pressure.

Next, the effect of Embodiment 1 is demonstrated.
The connector 1 includes a terminal fitting 11 having a fixed portion 11A fixed to the substrate S and an elastic contact portion 11D. An operation member 13 is attached to the elastic contact portion 11D for elastically displacing the elastic contact portion 11D to a retracted state in which the elastic contact portion 11D is retracted from the insertion region R1. The elastic contact portion 11D is supported by the fixed portion 11A so as to face the insertion region R1 of the flexible substrate 30, and can elastically contact the flexible substrate 30 within the insertion region R1. According to this configuration, by operating the operating member 13 to displace the elastic contact portion 11D to the retracted state, the flexible substrate 30 can be easily moved into the insertion region R1. When the operation of the operating member 13 is released, the elastic contact portion 11D is elastically restored, thereby connecting the elastic contact portion 11D and the flexible substrate 30 in an elastic contact state. Since the elastic contact portion 11D that elastically presses the flexible substrate 30 is an element of the terminal fitting 11 made of a metal material, it does not deform even in a high-temperature and high-humidity atmosphere.

The terminal fitting 11 of the connector 1 has an elastically deformable fulcrum portion 11C that connects one end portion in the length direction of the elastic contact portion 11D and the fixed portion 11A. The operation member 13 has a connection portion 13A connected to the elastic contact portion 11D and a pressing operation portion 13B extending in the opposite direction to the connection portion 13A across the fulcrum portion 11C. When the pressing operation portion 13B is pressed, the elastic contact portion 11D is displaced away from the insertion region R1 while elastically deforming the fulcrum portion 11C. According to this configuration, the elastic contact portion 11D can be displaced to the retracted state by a simple operation of pressing.

A connecting portion 13A of the connector 1 is made of an insulating material, and has a plurality of terminal fittings 11 arranged in parallel. The connecting portion 13A is connected to a plurality of elastic contact portions 11D. According to this configuration, the elastic contact portions 11D of the plurality of terminal fittings 11 can be simultaneously displaced to the retracted state by one-action operation of the single operating member 13 without short-circuiting.

The elastic contact portion 11D of the connector 1 is provided with an anchor portion 11E embedded in the connecting portion 13A. With this configuration, it is possible to make it difficult for the elastic contact portion 11D to fall off from the connecting portion 13A.

The pressing operation portion 13B of the connector 1 is designed to move toward the substrate S by being pressed. A movement restricting portion 10F for restriction is provided. According to this configuration, by restricting the pressing operation portion 13B from excessively approaching the substrate S by the movement restricting portion 10F, plastic deformation of the fulcrum portion 11C can be suppressed.

The elastic contact portion 11</b>D of the connector 1 is provided with a projection 11</b>G that contacts the flexible substrate 30 . According to this configuration, the contact between the elastic contact portion 11D and the flexible substrate 30 can be made through the projection portion 11G. can be done.
