  The techniques as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 connect electronic devices and modules as receiving devices (sockets and connectors), such as devices having a small number of contacts and devices having a small elastic restoring force of contacts. At that time, it can be applied to a device having a small pushing force from the contact.

  However, since the techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2 only partially press the electronic device or module, the contact reliability between the electrodes when applied to a receiving device with a large pushing force from the contact. The pressing force necessary to ensure the property cannot be obtained. Specifically, in the technique of Patent Document 1, since the latch 20 is locked to the base portion by the hooks 221 at both ends of the operation portion 210 that is formed in a horizontally long shape, a strong pushing force is received from the plurality of contacts 30. In this case, it is considered that the electronic device or the module cannot be firmly fixed because the center of the operation unit 210 is bent or the engagement of the hook 221 is released. Further, in the technique of Patent Document 2, the module 11 and the spring hook 18 are engaged at the four corners of the module 11, but since the partial engagement is at the four corners, the pushing back force from the contact pin 24 to the module 11 is reduced. If it is large, it is considered that the original pressed state cannot be maintained, and the electronic device and the module cannot be firmly fixed.

  For example, in a module holding structure for holding a plate-like module having a plurality of module-side terminals against a substrate having a plurality of board-side terminals electrically connected to the plurality of module-side terminals, the number of poles In many cases, the pushing back force from the terminal is large due to the reason that the terminal of the holding structure is arranged so as to protrude and the elastic restoring force of the terminal is large. Even if the techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are applied to such a module holding structure, the module cannot be firmly fixed, and the module is lifted by a pushing force at the time of connection. Can not be secured.

  On the other hand, it is considered that the module can be firmly fixed by using a complicated mechanism or a heavy member for the module holding structure. However, as the holding structure, it is desirable that the module can be fixed with a simple configuration.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a module holding structure capable of firmly fixing a module with a simple configuration.

Further, the lifting prevention locking receiving portion 53 is formed with a sliding direction locking receiving surface 53t that is locked to the sliding direction locking surface 45t (see FIG. 9). Specifically, the lifting-preventing locking receiving portion 53 is bent in an L shape with respect to the contact main body portion 52 and is bent in an L shape with respect to the hanging portion 53d. (See FIG. 8), and a sliding direction latching receiving surface 53t is formed on the hanging portion 53d, and the tip 53v is provided with an anti-lifting latch. A receiving surface 53s is formed.

  Further, the slide member 5 has two rib locking receiving portions 54 and 54 that are formed so as to protrude from the contact main body 52 toward the back side in the slide direction at both ends in the width direction. Specifically, the two rib locking receiving portions 54, 54 are formed so as to continuously protrude from the two hanging portions 51d, 51d (see FIGS. 8 and 9). Further, each of the two rib locking receiving portions 54, 54 has a rib locking receiving surface 54s locked to the rib locking surface 46s (see FIG. 8). Further, the inner surface 54t (see FIGS. 8 and 9) of the rib engagement receiving portion comes into contact with the rail surface 42r formed on the socket housing 4 when the slide member 5 slides. In the present embodiment, the rib engagement receiving portion is formed continuously from the engagement receiving portion 51 (the hanging portion 51d), but is formed to protrude further toward the back in the sliding direction than the contact main body portion 52. If it is, it is not limited to such a form, for example, a latch receiving portion is formed on the front side of the contact main body in the sliding direction, and the rib latch receiving portion is a contact main body separately from the latch portion. It may be formed continuously from the back side in the sliding direction of the part.

  In the slide member 5, two lock portions 55, 55 formed by being bent toward each other are formed at both ends in the width direction. More specifically, each of the two lock portions 55, 55 is provided at a distal end portion on the rear side in the sliding direction of the rib engagement receiving portion 54 (see FIGS. 8 and 9). Although configured in this way in the present embodiment, the slide member may not be provided with the rib engagement receiving portion, and the lock portion may be provided at the engagement portion (hanging portion). Moreover, the lock part may be continuously formed directly from the contact main body part.

  Further, in each of the two lock portions 55, 55, the width in the insertion direction of the lock portion 55 is smaller than the width in the insertion direction in the rib engagement receiving portion 54 (that is, the lock portion 55 has the rib engagement). It is formed so as to protrude from a part of the receiving portion 54 in the insertion direction). In addition, in this embodiment, although the lock part 55 is formed in the insertion direction near side in the rib latching | locking part 54, it is not restricted to such a form, You may form in the insertion direction back | inner side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the slide member 5 is provided with two operated portions 56 and 56 used during the sliding operation.

And has a curved portion 56r (see FIG. 8). The tip of the bent portion 56 b is bonded to the surface of the contact main body 52.

(Module holding structure)
In the module holding structure 1, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are attached to the socket housing 4 configured as described above so as to be able to advance and retract along the slide direction.

(Connection operation)
Next, the connection operation of the module holding structure 1 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is a schematic perspective view showing a state where the slide member 5 is in the first position, and FIG. 11 is a schematic perspective view showing a state where the slide member 5 is in the second position. 12A and 12B are explanatory schematic diagrams showing a state in which the slide member 5 is in the first position, in which FIG. 12A is a side view taken along the arrow A in FIG. 10 and FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view along XX ′. FIGS. 13A and 13B are explanatory schematic views showing a state in which the slide member 5 is in the first position, where FIG. 13A is a side view as viewed in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 11 and FIG. FIG. 14 is an enlarged schematic view showing broken lines C and D in FIGS. In FIG. 14, the slide member in the first position and the second position is shown in one drawing, and the lock portion when the slide member is in the first position is indicated by a broken line.

(First position)
First, a state where the slide member 5 is in the first position will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2, 10, and 12, the module holding structure 1 is in a state in which the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are in the first position at the time of factory shipment. When the pair of slide members 5, 5 are in the first position, the pair of slide members 5, 5 do not block the module insertion path 2 with respect to the socket housing 4. Therefore, the module 2 can be fitted into the socket housing 4 (see FIGS. 2 and 10).

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, in a state where each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 is in the first position, each of the two lock portions 55 and 55 has the first end surface 47s (first locked portion). 47), the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are restricted from moving toward the front side in the slide direction from the first position. Further, since the depth of the locking recess 47a gradually becomes shallower toward the back side in the sliding direction (see the inner surface 47b of the locking recess 47a in FIG. 14), the pair of slide members 5 are located at the first position. When the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are pressed to the back side in the sliding direction in a state where there are 5 and 5, the two lock portions 55 and 55 are respectively applied to the inner surface 47b unless pressed with a force larger than a predetermined size. Since the pair of slide portions 5 and 5 do not advance in contact with each other, the displacement of the pair of slide portions 5 and 5 toward the back side in the slide direction is also restricted (this is set to a temporary lock state).

(Set of modules)
Next, the module 2 is inserted into the socket housing 4 and set (see FIG. 2). As described above, since the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are temporarily locked in the first position, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are maintained in an open state, and the module 2 can be easily inserted. be able to.

(When sliding)
Next, it slides so that a pair of slide members 5 and 5 may be closed. When the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are pressed to the back in the sliding direction with a force larger than a predetermined size in a state where the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are in the first position, the two lock portions 55 and 55 are respectively The pair of slide members 5 and 5 move toward the second position while being elastically deformed by contact with the socket housing 4 (the inner surface 47b of the locking recess 47a). Here, the sliding direction is along the direction in which the two edges 2e and 2e face each other and along the side direction of the module 2 (see FIG. 2).

  Further, during the sliding operation of the pair of slide members 5, 5, the respective locking receiving surfaces 51 s of the two locking receiving portions 51, 51 are locked while sliding relative to the locking surface 44 s. (See FIGS. 10 and 11. See also FIGS. 5, 6, 8, and 9). Further, during the sliding operation of the slide member 5, the slide member 5 slides while the inner surface 54t of the rib engaging portion 54 and the rail surface 42r are in contact with each other (see FIG. 14). As a result, the sliding operation is stabilized.

  Further, when the pair of slide members 5 and 5 reach the second position, the contact main body 52 comes into contact with the slide locking surface 46 t, so that the pair of slide members 5 and 5 slide in the socket housing 4. Displacement toward the back side is restricted, and the slide cannot be moved further beyond (see FIGS. 11, 13, 16, etc.). Further, the sliding direction locking receiving surface 53t is locked to the sliding direction locking surface 45t, so that the pair of slide members 5 and 5 assist the displacement of the socket housing 4 in the sliding direction back side. Be regulated. (See FIG. 13 etc.). For this reason, for example, when there is a patch at the center of the surface of the module, the patch is not peeled off. Further, the slide member can be positioned at a predetermined position suitable for fixing the module. Further, the slide amount can be a minimum amount that allows the module to be fixed. Furthermore, by forming the sliding direction locking receiving surface 53t in the lifting prevention locking receiving portion 53, both the prevention of the module 2 lifting and the restriction of the displacement of the sliding member in the sliding direction can be simplified. This can be realized by configuration.

(Second position)
Next, a state where the slide member 5 is in the second position will be described. When the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are in the second position due to the slide movement, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are arranged so that the contact main body 52 blocks a part of the insertion path of the module 2. (See FIG. 11). When the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are in the second position and the module 2 is inserted into the socket housing 4, the two edges 2e of the module 2 facing each other in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction are provided. 2e and a pair of slide members 5 and 5 contact in the insertion direction. More specifically, in each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5, the edge 2e and the contact surface 52s of the contact main body 52 are in contact with each other in the insertion direction (see FIG. 11 and the like). Here, the two edge portions 2e and 2e include the four corner portions 2c of the module 2 (see FIG. 2). In such a state, it will be in the insertion completion state in which insertion of the module 2 with respect to the socket housing 4 was completed. In the present embodiment, in the second position, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are configured to block part of the insertion path, but the pair of slide members are at least part of the insertion path. May be cut off, and the entire insertion path may be cut off.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, in a state where each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 is in the second position, each of the two lock portions 55 and 55 has the second end surface 48s (second locked portion). 48), the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are restricted from being displaced in front of the second position in the slide direction. Further, as described above, when the contact main body 52 comes into contact with the slide locking surface 46t, and when the sliding direction locking receiving surface 53t is locked with respect to the sliding direction locking surface 45t. The pair of slide members 5, 5 are restricted from displacement in the sliding direction back side with respect to the socket housing 4. For this reason, in the second position, the sliding operation of the pair of sliding members 5 and 5 is restricted (locked state).

  Further, as described above, the plurality of socket-side terminals 31 are arranged in the recesses 43 so that the contact portions 31c elastically protrude from the back side in the insertion direction toward the near side. Also, the number of poles is large as shown in the figure (128 poles). Therefore, the pushing back force from the socket side terminal 31 toward the front side in the insertion direction is large. Therefore, even if the module 2 is inserted into the socket housing 4, the module 2 is pushed back from the socket side terminal 31 with a large force. In the module holding structure 1, the module 2 is firmly fixed to the socket housing by a mechanism as described below in the insertion completion state.

  First, each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 has two locking receiving portions 51 and 51 (locking surfaces 51s and 51s) with respect to the two locking portions 44 and 44 (locking surfaces 44s and 44s). By being locked, displacement of the socket housing 4 toward the front side in the insertion direction is restricted (see FIG. 11 and the like).

  Further, in the state where the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are in the second position, the anti-lifting engagement receiving portion 53 (the anti-lifting engagement member) with respect to the anti-lifting engagement portion 45 (the anti-lifting engagement surface 45s). When the retaining surface 53s) is locked, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are restricted from being displaced toward the front side in the insertion direction with respect to the socket housing 4 (see FIGS. 11 and 13, etc.). Thereby, the module 2 can be prevented from being lifted at the center of the contact main body 52.

  Further, each of the pair of slide members 5, 5 is moved forward in the insertion direction with respect to the socket housing 4 by the rib locking receiving portion 54 being locked to each of the two rib locking portions 46, 46. Is restricted (see FIGS. 11 and 13). Thereby, the module 2 is more firmly fixed to the socket housing.

  In a state where the insertion of the module 2 into the socket housing 4 is completed, the plurality of module-side terminals 2p and the plurality of socket-side terminals 31 are electrically connected. That is, in this state, the plurality of module side terminals 2p and the plurality of substrate side terminals 3c are electrically connected.

(About slide operation with jig)
Next, the slide operation of the slide member 5 using a jig will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 15 is a schematic side view showing a fixing operation using a jig, and FIG. 16 is a schematic side view showing a fixing release operation using a jig.

  First, the fixing operation of the module 2 will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 15, the slide member 5 is slid from the first position to the second position by using a jig 61 having a curved surface along the curved portion 56r. Specifically, by pressing the jig 61 toward the back in the insertion direction, the curved surface of the jig 61 and the curved portion 56r of the slide member 5 come into contact with each other, and are pressed against the curved surface of the jig 61. The slide member 5 moves to the back side in the slide direction. By doing in this way, at the time of sliding operation from the first position to the second position (fixing operation), the slide member 5 can be moved by the operation from the front side in the insertion direction without using the space on the front side in the sliding direction. Can be slid. Therefore, the work space by the jig can be reduced.

  Next, the fixing release operation of the module 2 will be described. In this case, as shown in FIG. 16, the jig 62a having a surface that contacts the front end surface 56s of the bent portion 56b, and a slope inclined with respect to the insertion direction, and the slope of the jig 62a are contacted. By using the jig 62b formed with such a slope, the slide member 5 is slid from the second position to the first position. Specifically, the inclined surface of the jig 62b and the inclined surface of the jig 62a come into contact with each other by pressing the jig 62b toward the back in the insertion direction. Then, the jig 62a moves to the front side in the sliding direction so as to be pushed by the jig 62b, and the jig 62a presses the front end surface 56s along with this, whereby the slide member 5 moves to the front side in the sliding direction. Moving. By doing in this way, similarly to the above, the slide member 5 can be slid by the operation from the front side in the insertion direction without using the space on the front side in the slide direction.

  Further, since the tip of the bent portion 56b is bonded to the surface of the contact main body portion 52, the operated portion 56 does not bend, so that the slide operation (fixed release from the second position to the first position) is performed. Operation) can be efficiently performed using a jig.

(effect)
The module holding structure 1 according to the present invention provides the following effects. First, a module holding structure 1 according to the present invention includes a board 3 having a plurality of board-side terminals 3c electrically connected to a plate-like module 2 having a plurality of module-side terminals 2p. Is a module holding structure 1 for holding a socket housing 4 in which a recess 43 into which the module 2 is inserted is formed and provided separately from the board 3, and board-side terminals 3 c A plurality of socket-side terminals 31 attached to the socket housing 4 and a metal attached to the socket housing 4 so as to slide along a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the module 2 into the socket housing 4. And a pair of slide members 5 and 5 made of metal. The socket housing 4 includes a plurality of locking portions 44 formed so as to correspond to the pair of slide members 5 and 5, and each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 includes the locking portion 44. Each of the plurality of socket-side terminals 31 is exposed to a contact portion 31c that contacts at least the plurality of module-side terminals 2p in the recess 43. The plurality of module-side terminals 2p and the plurality of socket-side terminals 31 are electrically connected to each other and the pair of sliding members 5 are in a state where the insertion of the module 2 into the socket housing 4 is completed. , 5 slide between the first position and the second position along the sliding direction from the first position to the second position, When the members 5 and 5 are in the first position, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 do not block the insertion path of the module 2 with respect to the socket housing 4, so that the module 2 can be inserted into the socket housing 4. When 5 and 5 are in the second position, the pair of slide members 5 and 5 block at least part of the insertion path, and in a state where the module 2 is inserted into the socket housing 4, it is orthogonal to the insertion direction. The two edges 2e, 2e of the module 2 facing in the direction and the pair of slide members 5, 5 come into contact with each other in the insertion direction, and the insertion is completed, and each of the pair of slide members 5, 5 is locked. By locking the locking receiving portion 51 with respect to the portion 44, displacement of the socket housing 4 toward the front side in the insertion direction is restricted.

  According to this configuration, when the module 2 is inserted into the socket housing 4 and the pair of slide members 5 and 5 are slid from the first position to the second position, the slide member 5 presses the module 2 in the insertion direction. In this state, it is attached to the recess 43 of the socket housing 4. Therefore, even if the pushing back force at the time of connection is large due to a large number of poles, the terminal is arranged so as to protrude, the elastic restoring force of the terminal is large, etc., the module can be firmly fixed. It becomes possible. As a result, the module 2 can be firmly fixed with a simple configuration. Moreover, since the slide member 5 slides along the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, the height in the insertion direction does not increase during the sliding operation, so that space can be saved in the insertion direction. Further, for example, by shipping from the factory in the state of the first position, the module is set and the slide member is simply moved to the second position at the time of assembly, so that the assembly can be facilitated. Further, since the slide member 5 is made of metal, a pressing force can be secured without increasing the thickness of the slide member.

  Since the sliding direction is along the direction in which the two edges 2e and 2e face each other, the module can be reliably held with a simple configuration.

  The module 2 is formed in a square plate shape, the sliding direction is along the side direction of the module 2, and the four edge portions 2 c of the module 2 are included in the two edges 2 e and 2 e. Also good. According to this, the module formed in the rectangular plate shape can be reliably held, and the contact reliability is improved. In the present embodiment, the module 2 is formed in a square plate shape, but may be rectangular and may have all four sides that are not equal in length.

  The socket housing 4 has a bottom portion 41 and an outer peripheral wall portion 42, and a concave portion 43 is formed inside the bottom portion 41 and the outer peripheral wall portion 42, and the locking portion 44 and the locking receiving portion 51 are a pair of slide members 5. Two locking portions 44, 44 corresponding to each of the pair of slide members 5, 5 are orthogonal to both the fitting direction and the sliding direction of the socket housing 4. Each of the two locking portions 44, 44 has a locking surface 44 s whose normal direction coincides with the insertion direction, and the locking The surface 44s is formed so as to be continuous along the sliding direction, and each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 includes a contact main body portion 52 having a contact surface 52s that comes into contact with the edge portion 2e in the insertion completion state. The The length of the contact main body 52 in the width direction is equal to or greater than the length of the socket housing 4 in the width direction, and two locking receptacles corresponding to each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5. The portions 51 and 51 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the contact main body 52 in each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5, and each of the two locking receiving portions 51 and 51 has a locking surface 44 s. It has the latching receiving surface 51s latched with respect to. Therefore, the slide member 5 is locked by the locking surface 44s. Further, the locking surface 44s becomes the slide guide surface of the slide member 5, and the locking receiving surface 51s is locked while sliding with respect to the locking surface 44s when the slide member 5 is slid. Therefore, both the stabilization of the sliding operation and the locking of the slide member can be realized by a simple configuration including the locking surface 44s and the locking receiving surface 51s.

  In the socket housing 4, two lifting prevention locking portions 45, 45 corresponding to the pair of slide members 5, 5 are provided at the center in the width direction at both end portions in the sliding direction. Each of the two lifting-preventing locking portions 45, 45 is formed with a lifting-preventing locking surface 45s, 45s whose normal direction coincides with the insertion direction, and each of the pair of slide members 5, 5 has a contact body. In the central portion in the width direction of the portion 52, a lifting prevention locking receiving portion 53 having a lifting prevention locking receiving surface 53s locked to the lifting prevention locking surface 45s is formed, and a pair of slide members 5 and 5, when the slide member 5 is in the second position, the lifting prevention locking receiving portion 53 is locked to the lifting prevention locking portion 45. It allows is restricted displacement in the insertion direction front side with respect to the socket housing 4. For this reason, each slide member is supported in at least three places, so that the lift of the pair of slide members is efficiently prevented.

  The socket housing 4 is protruded and has two rib engaging portions 46 provided in correspondence with each of the pair of slide members 5, 5, and corresponds to each of the pair of slide members 5, 5. The two rib locking portions 46, 46 are provided at both end portions in the width direction of the socket housing 4, and each of the two rib locking portions 46, 46 is a rib whose normal direction coincides with the insertion direction. The rib locking surface 46s has a locking surface 46s and is formed so as to be continuous along the sliding direction, and each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 is in contact with both ends in the width direction. It has two rib latching receiving portions 54 and 54 that are formed to protrude from the main body 52 toward the back side in the sliding direction, and each of the two rib latching receiving portions 54 and 54 has a rib latching. For face 46s Each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 has a rib lock receiving portion 54 locked to each of the two rib lock portions 46 and 46. By doing so, the displacement of the socket housing 4 toward the front side in the insertion direction may be restricted. According to this, the module 2 can be more firmly fixed. In addition, since it is not necessary to enlarge the contact main body portion 52 toward the back side in the sliding direction, the portion protruding from the socket housing 4 when the slide member 5 is in the first position can be reduced. As described above, the module can be more firmly fixed, and space can be saved.

  In each of the pair of slide members 5, 5, two lock portions 55, 55 formed by bending toward each other are formed at both ends in the width direction. Correspondingly, two guide rail portions 42g, 42g serving as guide grooves for the two lock portions 55, 55 are formed along the sliding direction at both side ends of the socket housing 4 in the width direction. In addition, each of the two guide rail portions 42g and 42g includes a first locked portion 47 and a second locked portion 48 formed to receive the two locking portions 55 and 55, respectively. Are formed in order along the sliding direction, and in the first position, each of the two locking portions 55, 55 is locked to the first locked portion 47, and a pair of sliding members , 5 are restricted from moving to the near side in the sliding direction from the first position, and when the pair of sliding members 5 and 5 are pressed to the back side in the sliding direction in a state where the pair of sliding members are in the first position. Each of the two lock portions 55 and 55 is elastically deformed by contact with the socket housing 4 and the pair of slide members 5 and 5 move toward the second position. In the second position, the two lock portions 55 are moved. , 55 are engaged with the second locked portion 48, and the pair of slide members 5, 5 is restricted from moving toward the front side in the sliding direction with respect to the second position. Thereby, the slide member 5 is latched in each of the first position and the second position. Further, when the lock portion 55 is elastically deformed during the displacement from the first position to the second position, the displacement from the first position to the second position is appropriately restricted.

  In each of the two guide rail portions 42g and 42g corresponding to the pair of slide members 5 and 5, the first locked portion 47 is a slide of a locking recess 47a provided in the middle of the guide rail portion 42g. The first end face 47s formed on the front side in the direction, and the second locked part 48 is a second end face 48s that is a terminal end of the guide rail part 42g in the sliding direction, and the two guide rail parts 42g and 42g. In each of the above, the depth of the locking recess 47a may gradually become shallower toward the back side in the sliding direction. According to this, the slide member is locked at each of the first position and the second position with a simple configuration. Moreover, the structure which a lock | rock part elastically deforms at the time of the displacement from a 1st position to a 2nd position is easily realizable.

  The socket housing 4 is protruded and has two rib engaging portions 46 provided in correspondence with each of the pair of slide members 5, 5, and corresponds to each of the pair of slide members 5, 5. The two rib locking portions 46, 46 are provided at both end portions in the width direction of the socket housing 4, and each of the two rib locking portions 46, 46 is a rib whose normal direction coincides with the insertion direction. The rib locking surface 46s has a locking surface 46s and is formed so as to be continuous along the sliding direction, and each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 is in contact with both ends in the width direction. It has two rib latching receiving portions 54 and 54 that are formed to protrude from the main body 52 toward the back side in the sliding direction, and each of the two rib latching receiving portions 54 and 54 has a rib latching. For face 46s Each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 has a rib lock receiving portion 54 locked to each of the two rib lock portions 46 and 46. As a result, the displacement of the socket housing 4 toward the front side in the insertion direction is restricted, and in each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5, the two lock portions 55 and 55 are slid on the rib engagement receiving portion 54. The width in the insertion direction of the lock portion 55 is smaller than the width in the insertion direction in the rib engagement receiving portion 54 in each of the two lock portions 55 and 55. May be. According to this, since not only the entire rib engaging portion of the slide member but the lock portion at the tip is bent, the bending of the member can be concentrated only at the tip portion.

  In the socket housing 4, the rib engagement receiving portion 54 is provided at the back side in the insertion direction of each of the two guide rail portions 42 g and 42 g corresponding to the pair of slide members 5 and 5 during the sliding operation of the slide member 5. Since the rail surface 42r that comes into contact with the inner surface is formed along the sliding direction, the sliding operation is more stable.

  Each of the pair of slide members 5 and 5 is provided with an operated portion 56 used at the time of the sliding operation, and the operated portion 56 and the long plate-like bent portion 56b are curved from the front side to the back side in the sliding direction. It may have a curved portion 56r formed by bending it. According to this, the working space by the jig can be reduced during the sliding operation (fixing operation) from the first position to the second position.

  In each of the pair of slide members 5, 5, the operated portion 56 is formed continuously from the contact main body portion 52, and the distal end portion of the bent portion 56 b is bonded to the surface of the contact main body portion 52. Good. According to this, since the operated portion 56 does not bend, the sliding operation (fixing releasing operation) from the second position to the first position can be efficiently performed using the jig.

  As described above, by using the module holding structure 1, the module 2 can be securely and firmly fixed while minimizing the space around the socket housing required for the operation of the slide member.

(Modification)
Next, modified examples of the module holding structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18 are schematic top views illustrating the first and second modified examples of the module holding structure according to the above embodiment.
