Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はフレキシブル回路板の端部に電気的に接続されるフレキシブル回路板コネクタに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
この種のフレキシブル回路板コネクタの従来の例が特開平８−２５０２３２号公報に開示される。開示されるフレキシブル回路板コネクタのコンタクトは比較的狭ピッチの要求のために、金属板の端縁により形成された接触部を有し、よって金属板面に対して直交する方向がコンタクト配置のピッチ方向とされる。しかしながら、安定した接触圧を得るため及びコンタクトをより安価に提供するためには接触部を金属板面から構成することが望ましい。
【０００３】
また、フレキシブル回路板とコンタクトとの電気的接触をより安定化させるために改良された加圧部材の構成を含むフレキシブル回路板コネクタが登録実用新案公報第３０３５６９２号に開示される。開示されるフレキシブル回路板コネクタは、絶縁ハウジングに対して開位置と閉位置との間を回動可能とされる加圧部材を含む。加圧部材は閉位置に移動されたときにフレキシブル回路板をコンタクトに押圧するものであるが、加圧部材の一部は閉位置でコンタクトの一部に係合するよう構成されており、これにより比較的安定した電気的接触を実現することを意図している。しかしながら、この加圧部材の回動軸は閉位置においても絶縁ハウジングの所定位置に軸支されるので、加圧部材とコンタクトとの係合によってもピッチ方向に均一な接触圧を得ることができない。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は、多極にしてフレキシブル回路板との安定した電気的接続が実現可能なフレキシブル回路板コネクタを提供することにある。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、フレキシブル回路板を受容可能にして複数のコンタクトを支持する絶縁ハウジング、及び該絶縁ハウジングに対して開位置と閉位置との間を回動可能に取り付けられる加圧部材を有し、該加圧部材を前記開位置にして前記フレキシブル回路板を前記絶縁ハウジングに受容させた後で前記加圧部材を前記閉位置に移動して前記フレキシブル回路板を前記コンタクトに押圧させて電気的接続を行うフレキシブル回路板コネクタにおいて、前記加圧部材は、前記開位置にあるときには前記加圧部材の両側端に形成されたポストの略半円形の延長部が前記絶縁ハウジング側に設けられた弾性係合片と係合することにより回動可能にして前記絶縁ハウジングに抜け止めされ、前記閉位置では前記加圧部材に設けられる舌片部が前記コンタクトの一部に係合することにより前記絶縁ハウジングに抜け止めされ、前記ポストの前記延長部と前記弾性係合片との係合は解除されることを特徴とする。
【００１０】
好ましくは、前記弾性係合片は前記絶縁ハウジングに固定される金属部品により構成される。該金属部品は前記絶縁ハウジングを回路基板に実装固定するためのペグとされるのが良い。
【００１１】
好ましくは、前記加圧部材及び前記絶縁ハウジングは更に両者を閉位置に維持するために係合手段を含む。
【００１２】
好ましくは、前記ポストの前記弾性係合片と係合する部分は略半円形の断面を有し、回動中心に対して偏心した位置に形成される。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に添付図面を参照して本発明の好適実施形態となるフレキシブル回路板コネクタについて説明する。
【００１４】
図１はフレキシブル回路板コネクタの斜視図である。
【００１５】
図２は加圧部材を除去した状態の図１のフレキシブル回路板コネクタの部分平面図である。
【００１６】
図３は図１のフレキシブル回路板コネクタの図２中の線Ｃ−Ｃに対応する位置での断面図であり、（ａ）は加圧部材を開位置に置いたとき、及び（ｂ）は閉位置に置いたときの状態を示す図である。ただし、コンタクトは側面図にして示している。
【００１７】
図４はポストと弾性係合片の係合部分近傍を示す概略図であり、（ａ）は加圧部材を開位置に置いたとき、及び（ｂ）は閉位置に置いたときの状態を示す図である。
【００１８】
図１乃至図３によれば、フレキシブル回路板コネクタ１０は絶縁ハウジング２０に配置された複数のコンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂを有する。コンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂの夫々は絶縁ハウジング２０に対して前後方向から圧入して前後に列を成すよう固定される。コンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂは、回路基板に表面実装される実装部３１ａ、３１ｂ、及び回路板受容部２８に受容されるフレキシブル回路板に接続されるための接触部３２ａ、３２ｂを有する。特に図３（ａ）、（ｂ）から理解されるように接触部３２ａ、３２ｂはフレキシブル回路板の一面に接続されるよう配置される。また特に図２から理解されるように接触部３２ａ、３２ｂは２列にして千鳥配置される。図示しないが、フレキシブル回路板の一面に設けられる接触用パッドは接触部３２ａ、３２ｂに対応して千鳥配置されるよう設けられる。
【００１９】
図３に示すように、コンタクト３０ａは実装部３１ａと接触部３２ａを含む弾性接触部３３ａとを延出させる基部３４ａを有する。基部３４ａは１８０度曲げされて折り重ねられた２層の金属板より構成される。基部３４ａの下層の金属板には、コンタクト３０ａを絶縁ハウジング２０の底部２１に圧入固定されるための圧入突起３５ａが設けられる。弾性接触片３３ａは基部３４ａの上層の金属板より前方へ延長され、更に後方に向けてＵ字曲げされ、その端部近傍に頂側に突出するようにして接触部３２ａが形成される。
【００２０】
またコンタクト３０ｂもやはり実装部３１ｂと接触部３２ｂを含む弾性接触片３３ｂとを延出させる基部３４ｂを有する。基部３４ｂはやはり金属板の１８０度曲げにより折り重ねられて成る。基部３４ｂの上層の金属板から後方に延長された部分には、コンタクト３０ｂを絶縁ハウジング２０の頂部２２に圧入固定するための圧入突起３５ｂが設けられる。弾性接触片３３ｂは基部３４ｂの下層の金属板から後方に向けて延び更にＵ字形状に湾曲して前方へと延びる。接触部３２ｂは基部３４ｂに対向する位置に突出するようにして形成される。基部３４ｂの前端面３９は湾曲面を成す。基部３４ｂの前端面３９はコンタクト３０ａの接触部３２ａの一部に重なるよう置かれる点に注目すべきである。またコンタクト３０ｂの実装部３１ｂを含むタイン３８は絶縁ハウジング２０の後面に形成された区画壁２９により隔離されると共に位置合わせされる。
【００２１】
再度図１によれば、フレキシブル回路板コネクタ１０は回路基板への取付強度を高めるために絶縁ハウジング２０の両端近傍に設けられる補強金具７０、及びそれによって抜け止めされる加圧部材５０を有する。補強金具７０は図示しない回路基板に表面実装されるための実装部７１及び加圧部材５０を支持するための弾性係合片７２を具え、絶縁ハウジング２０に圧入固定される。後述の如く加圧部材５０は絶縁ハウジング２０に対して回動可能に取り付られている。なお、補強部材７０の位置を図３中に破線で示している。
【００２２】
図３（ａ）、（ｂ）によれば、加圧部材５０の回動作用及びフレキシブル回路板の電気的接続作用について理解される。まずフレキシブル回路板は図３（ａ）に示すように加圧部材５０を開状態にして絶縁ハウジング２０内に受容される。受容位置を図３（ａ）中に１点鎖線で示している（参照記号Ｆ）。このとき加圧部材５０は直立するように置かれる。図１及び図４（ａ）によれば、加圧部材５０はその両側端にポスト５２を有する。ポスト５２は円柱形状の基部５２ａと略半円形状の延長部５２ｂを含む。図１及び図４（ａ）によれば、加圧部材５０が開位置にあるときには、ポスト５２の延長部５２ｂが弾性係合片７２に係合して、加圧部材５０を絶縁ハウジング２０に対して抜け止めしている。加圧部材５０は舌片部５１を有するが、開状態においては舌片部５１はフレキシブル回路板の位置から外れて位置する。フレキシブル回路板は回路板受容部２８に受容され絶縁ハウジング２０に形成される制止肩２３によって制止される位置まで挿入される。
【００２３】
次に加圧部材５０は図３（ａ）に示す開位置から図３（ｂ）に示す閉位置へと回動される（図３（ａ）中の矢印Ａ参照）。このとき加圧部材５０の舌部５１はコンタクト３０ｂの基部３４ｂの下側に回り込み、加圧部材５０の押圧面５３はフレキシブル回路板をコンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂに対して押圧してフレキシブル回路板とコンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂとの電気的接続を実現する。
【００２４】
加圧部材５０が閉位置に達すると加圧部材５０の両側面５４に形成される係止突起５５が絶縁ハウジング２０の係止肩２６に係止される。係止突起５５と係止肩２６との係合により加圧部材５０の前側での起き上がりが阻止される。一方、図４（ｂ）に示すように、加圧部材５０が閉位置に達すると、ポスト５２の延長部５２と弾性係合片７２との係合が解除され、これにより加圧部材５０は後側で若干起き上がり可能となる。しかしながら、図３（ｂ）に示すように舌片部５１がコンタクト３０ｂの基部３４ｂに当接するので必要以上の起き上がりが阻止される。従って加圧部材５０は係止突起５５と係合する係止肩２６及びコンタクト３０ｂの基部３４ｂにより支持され、これにより加圧部材５０はコンタクト３０ａ、３０ｂのピッチ方向にバランス良く安定した接触圧を提供できる。
【００２５】
以上のように、本発明の好適実施形態となるフレキシブル回路板コネクタについて説明したが、これはあくまでも例示的なものであり、当業者によって様々な変形、変更が可能である。
【００２７】
【発明の効果】
本発明の好適実施形態となるフレキシブル回路板コネクタによれば、加圧部材は、開位置にあるときには加圧部材の両側端に形成されたポストが絶縁ハウジング側に設けられた弾性係合片と係合することにより絶縁ハウジングに回動可能にして抜け止めされ、閉位置では加圧部材に設けられる舌片部がコンタクトの一部に係合することにより絶縁ハウジングに抜け止めされ、ポストと弾性係合片との係合は解除されることを特徴とするので、ピッチ方向に配列されたコンタクトに比較的均一に安定した接触圧を提供でき、接触信頼性が高い。

[0018]
According to FIGS. 1 to 3, the flexible circuit board connector 10 has a plurality of contacts 30 a and 30 b disposed in an insulating housing 20. Each of the contacts 30a and 30b is press-fitted into the insulating housing 20 from the front-rear direction and fixed in a row in the front-rear direction. The contacts 30a and 30b have mounting portions 31a and 31b that are surface-mounted on the circuit board, and contact portions 32a and 32b that are connected to the flexible circuit board received by the circuit board receiving portion 28. In particular, as can be understood from FIGS. 3A and 3B, the contact portions 32a and 32b are arranged to be connected to one surface of the flexible circuit board. Further, as can be understood from FIG. 2, the contact portions 32a and 32b are arranged in a staggered manner in two rows. Although not shown, the contact pads provided on one surface of the flexible circuit board are provided so as to be staggered corresponding to the contact portions 32a and 32b.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 3, the contact 30a has a base portion 34a for extending the mounting portion 31a and the elastic contact portion 33a including the contact portion 32a. The base 34a is composed of two layers of metal plates bent 180 degrees and folded. A press-fit projection 35 a for press-fitting and fixing the contact 30 a to the bottom portion 21 of the insulating housing 20 is provided on the metal plate below the base portion 34 a. The elastic contact piece 33a extends forward from the upper metal plate of the base portion 34a, is further bent in a U shape toward the rear, and a contact portion 32a is formed so as to protrude to the top side in the vicinity of the end portion.
[0020]
The contact 30b also has a base portion 34b for extending the mounting portion 31b and the elastic contact piece 33b including the contact portion 32b. The base portion 34b is also formed by being folded by bending a metal plate by 180 degrees. A press-fitting protrusion 35 b for press-fitting and fixing the contact 30 b to the top portion 22 of the insulating housing 20 is provided in a portion extending rearward from the upper metal plate of the base portion 34 b. The elastic contact piece 33b extends rearward from the lower metal plate of the base portion 34b, further curves in a U shape, and extends forward. The contact portion 32b is formed so as to protrude to a position facing the base portion 34b. The front end surface 39 of the base portion 34b forms a curved surface. It should be noted that the front end surface 39 of the base portion 34b is placed so as to overlap a part of the contact portion 32a of the contact 30a. Further, the tine 38 including the mounting portion 31 b of the contact 30 b is isolated and aligned by the partition wall 29 formed on the rear surface of the insulating housing 20.
[0021]
Referring again to FIG. 1, the flexible circuit board connector 10 has reinforcing metal fittings 70 provided in the vicinity of both ends of the insulating housing 20 in order to increase the strength of attachment to the circuit board, and a pressure member 50 that is prevented from coming off. The reinforcing metal fitting 70 includes a mounting portion 71 for surface mounting on a circuit board (not shown) and an elastic engagement piece 72 for supporting the pressure member 50, and is press-fitted and fixed to the insulating housing 20. As will be described later, the pressure member 50 is attached to the insulating housing 20 so as to be rotatable. The position of the reinforcing member 70 is indicated by a broken line in FIG.
[0022]
