DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, a connector according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a connector according to the present embodiment, and FIGS. 2A and 2B are longitudinal sectional views showing main parts for explaining a method of connecting the present connector.

1 and 2 (a), the connector is mounted on a base insulator 1 mounted and fixed on a circuit board 7, and attached to one end of the base insulator 1 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction in the figure. Slider 2 provided.

The base insulator 1 has a plurality of first
And a plurality of second contacts 4 are implanted.

The first contact 3 has a lead portion 3a which is fixed by soldering to a pattern of the circuit board 7, and a double-sided FPC.
6 has a contact portion 3b that contacts a contact portion 6a on the lower surface side in the figure, which is the first surface of the contact member 6b. The contact portion 3b of the first contact 3 is configured to be exposed upward from a window hole 1a formed on the upper surface of the base insulator 1. Guide protrusions 1b are formed on the upper surface of the base insulator 1 at both ends in the width direction of the double-sided FPC. On the other hand, a guide hole 6c corresponding to this is formed in the double-sided FPC 6, and when the double-sided FPC 6 is placed on the base insulator 1, it is positioned and the contact portion 6a comes into contact with the contact portion 3b.

The second contact 4 has a substantially U-shape, and is attached to the end of the base insulator 1 such that the open end is directed in the same direction as the direction of the end of the double-sided FPC. .

The slider 2 is attached to the end of the base insulator 1 on the side facing the both-side FPC end portion so as to be movable in the extending direction of the both-side FPC. A U-shaped third contact 5 is attached to the inside of the slider 2 so as to face the second contact 4. The contact portion 5a at one end (lower end) of the third contact 5 is shown in FIG.
(A) When the double-sided FPC 6 is opened, the contact portion 5b is in contact with the second contact 4 and is at the other end (upper end).
Is in contact with the upper surface of the base insulator 1.

When the slider 2 is moved in the double-sided FPC connection direction (the direction of the arrow), as shown in FIG.
The contact portion 5a of the third contact 5 is
While maintaining the abutment state, and contact portion 5b
Contacts the contact portion 6b on the upper surface side of the double-sided FPC 6. When the contact portion 5b is in contact with the upper contact portion 6b of the double-sided FPC 6, the double-sided FPC 6 is held by the third contact 5 of the slider 2, that is, in a pressure contact holding state.

[0019]

According to the connector of the present invention, the base insulator mounted on the circuit board has a mounting surface on which the connected object is mounted so as to face one surface of the connected object.
Has one end connected to the circuit board, the other end protrudes from the mounting surface and is connected to one surface of the body to be connected, and the second contact has one end connected to the circuit board. By the sliding operation of the slider, one end of the third contact is connected to the other surface of the body to be connected, and the other end is connected to the other end of the second contact. In this case, the double-sided FPC may be placed on the base insulator, and the operation of inserting the double-sided FPC into the connector is unnecessary, which is excellent in operability.
