近年、電気・電子機器の小型化が進むにつれ、コネクタの小型化の要求も強くなってきており、コネクタはより一層軽薄短小化が進んできている。軽薄短小化が進む中、アクチュエータやスライダー等の回動部材の稼動するスペースを確保するため、コンタクト上面（特にテール側）を露出することが公の事実となっている。また、同じようにアクチュエータやスライダー等の回動部材を回動させることで接続対象物と接続させるコネクタの中にも、コネクタの小型化（低背化）の要求がされることがなく、防塵性を高めるものがある。さらに、ＦＰＣ等の接続対象物をコネクタに挿入する際には挿入力の掛からない構造のものが要求されている。
最近、上記の要求以外に、上下並行に配置された基板にコネクタを接続し、必要な部分の接続対象物と上下基板との信号のやり取りをしたいという要望がでてきている。（例えば、接続対象物が４０パターンある場合に、パターンの１、５、１０〜２５は上の基板との信号やり取りを、その他のパターンは下の基板との信号やり取りを行いたいという要望である。）一般的には、上下の基板と接続する場合は２つのコネクタを使用することが多い。
上述した特許文献には、上下基板接続できる構造にはなっていないし、接続できない。 In recent years, as electric and electronic devices have been miniaturized, there has been an increasing demand for miniaturization of connectors, and connectors are becoming lighter, thinner and smaller. As lightness and miniaturization progresses, it is a public fact that the upper surface of the contact (especially the tail side) is exposed in order to secure a space in which a rotating member such as an actuator or a slider operates. Similarly, there is no need to reduce the size (low profile) of a connector that is connected to an object to be connected by rotating a rotating member such as an actuator or a slider. There are things that enhance sex. Furthermore, when a connection object such as an FPC is inserted into the connector, a structure that does not require an insertion force is required.
Recently, in addition to the above requirements, there has been a demand for connecting a connector to a board arranged in parallel with the upper and lower sides and exchanging signals between a connection object of a necessary part and the upper and lower boards. (For example, when there are 40 patterns to be connected, patterns 1, 5, 10 to 25 are required to exchange signals with the upper substrate, and other patterns are desired to exchange signals with the lower substrate. .) Generally, two connectors are often used when connecting to upper and lower boards.
The above-mentioned patent document does not have a structure capable of connecting the upper and lower substrates, and cannot be connected.

本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、接続対象物の挿入力が掛からないで、一つの操作で必要な部分の上下の基板との信号やり取りが可能な構造のコネクタを提供せんとするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and has a structure capable of exchanging signals with the upper and lower substrates of a necessary portion in one operation without applying the insertion force of the connection object. It is intended to provide a connector.

まず、図４に基づいて、２種類の第一コンタクト１４と第二コンタクト１６について説明する。この２種類の第一コンタクト１４と第二コンタクト１６は金属製であり、公知技術のプレス加工によって製作されている。前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の材質としては、バネ性や導電性などが要求されるので、黄銅やベリリウム銅やリン青銅等を挙げることができる。 First, the two types of first contact 14 and second contact 16 will be described with reference to FIG. The two types of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 are made of metal and are manufactured by a known press working. As the material of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16, spring property, conductivity and the like are required, and examples thereof include brass, beryllium copper, and phosphor bronze.

最初に、図４（Ａ）の第一コンタクト１４について説明する。前記第一コンタクト１４は図４（Ａ）のように倒略Ｈ形状をし、少なくとも前記ＦＰＣ６４と接触する接触部２６（図４（Ａ）の図面の上側）と基板９０等に接続する接続部４０と前記ハウジング１２に固定する固定部３８と連結支点部３０と回動部材１８によって押圧される押受部３２を備えている。前記接触部２６と前記押受部３２とは略クランク状の板状片の第一片２２の両端に設けられ、前記押受部３２の先端には内側に突出した突出部４２が設けられている。本実施例では前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４の回動をコンパクトな回転にするために設けているが、絶対的に設けなければならないものではない。一端側に前記接触部２６と対向する方向に延設された延設部３６と他端側に基板９０と接続する接続部４０とを有する第ニ片２４を備え、前記第一片２２と前記第二片２４はほぼ中間付近で連結支点部３０によって連結されている。前記接触部２６と前記連結支点部３０と前記接続部４０とは略クランク形状に配置されており、前記接続部４０には前記押受部３２側に突出するような突出台４４が設けられ、かつ、前記突出台４４の所定の位置には前記回動部材１８の支点として回動させるための凹部４７が設けられ、前記押受部３２と前記突出台４４の凹部４７との間で前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４が回動するようなっている。上下に配置された前記第一コンタクト１４の凹部４７間（押受部３２間）で、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４が垂直になった際に、それぞれの前記押受部３２が均等に押圧されることにより、前記接触部２６がＦＰＣ６４方向に変位することで前記接触部２６が前記ＦＰＣ６４に接続するようになる。前記凹部４７の大きさ（深さ）はこのようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。前記凹部４７が設けられていない場合の上下に配置された前記突出台４４の間隔も同様である。本実施例では前記コンタクト１４の連結支点部３０付近に、前記嵌合口２０と反対方向に傾斜する傾斜部２８が設けられている。該傾斜部２８を設けることで、低背化を図っている。また、前記突出台４４または前記凹部４７は前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４が回動する際に安定した回動をするために、押受部３２と接続部４０との間の間隔を調整するためのものであり、突出量または深さはこのようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。 First, the first contact 14 in FIG. 4A will be described. The first contact 14 has a substantially H-shaped shape as shown in FIG. 4A, and is connected to at least the contact portion 26 (upper side of the drawing of FIG. 4A) that contacts the FPC 64 and the substrate 90 or the like. 40, a fixing portion 38 that is fixed to the housing 12, a connection fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 that is pressed by the rotating member 18. The contact portion 26 and the pressing portion 32 are provided at both ends of the first piece 22 of a substantially crank-shaped plate piece, and a protruding portion 42 protruding inward is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32. Yes. In this embodiment, the rotation of the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is provided for compact rotation, but it is not absolutely necessary. A second piece 24 having an extended portion 36 extending in a direction opposite to the contact portion 26 on one end side and a connecting portion 40 connected to the substrate 90 on the other end side; The second pieces 24 are connected by a connecting fulcrum 30 almost in the middle. The contact portion 26, the connection fulcrum portion 30, and the connection portion 40 are arranged in a substantially crank shape, and the connection portion 40 is provided with a protruding base 44 that protrudes toward the pressing portion 32, In addition, a recess 47 for rotating as a fulcrum of the rotating member 18 is provided at a predetermined position of the projecting base 44, and the rotation between the pressing portion 32 and the recess 47 of the projecting base 44 is performed. The pressing portion 54 of the moving member 18 is rotated. When the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is vertical between the concave portions 47 (between the pressing portions 32) of the first contact 14 disposed above and below, the pressing portions 32 are evenly distributed. By being pressed, the contact portion 26 is displaced in the FPC 64 direction so that the contact portion 26 is connected to the FPC 64. The size (depth) of the recess 47 is appropriately designed in consideration of the above. The same applies to the interval between the protruding bases 44 arranged above and below when the concave portion 47 is not provided. In this embodiment, an inclined portion 28 that is inclined in the direction opposite to the fitting port 20 is provided near the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 14. By providing the inclined portion 28, the height is reduced. Further, the protrusion 44 or the concave portion 47 adjusts the interval between the pressing portion 32 and the connecting portion 40 in order to rotate stably when the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 rotates. Therefore, the protrusion amount or depth is appropriately designed in consideration of the above.

前記接続部４０の配置位置としては、上下に配置された基板９０のランド位置や基板９０のパターン位置や狭スペース等を考慮して適宜設計する。即ち、前記接続部４０は要求仕様に応じて、前記接触部２６に対向する側や前記押受部３２に対向する側に設けられることになり、また、ランドの位置によっては千鳥に設けることもあり、さらにまた、要求仕様によっては上下逆なることもある。前記第一コンタクト１４では、前記接続部４０を前記押受部３２に対向する側に設けており、要求仕様によって前記第一コンタクト１４を上下逆に前記ハウジング１２へ挿入している。前記接触部２６は、ＦＰＣ６４と接触し易いように凸部形状にしており、前記接続部４０は本実施例では図４（Ａ）のように表面実装タイプ（ＳＭＴ）にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。本実施例では、前記第一コンタクト１４では、前記連結支点部３０から前記接触部２６に対向するように延設部３６を設けている。 The arrangement position of the connecting portion 40 is appropriately designed in consideration of the land position of the substrate 90 arranged above and below, the pattern position of the substrate 90, a narrow space, and the like. That is, the connecting part 40 is provided on the side facing the contact part 26 or the side facing the pressing part 32 according to the required specifications, and depending on the position of the land, it may be provided in a staggered manner. Yes, and upside down depending on the required specifications. In the first contact 14, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32, and the first contact 14 is inserted into the housing 12 upside down according to required specifications. The contact portion 26 has a convex shape so that it can easily come into contact with the FPC 64. In the present embodiment, the connection portion 40 is a surface mount type (SMT) as shown in FIG. But it ’s okay. In the present embodiment, the first contact 14 is provided with an extending portion 36 so as to face the contact portion 26 from the connection fulcrum portion 30.

前記連結支点部３０と前記押受部３２とは、前記ＦＰＣ６４が挿入された際に、次のような作用を果たすための部分である。前記ＦＰＣ６４が前記ハウジング１２の嵌合口２０内に挿入された後に、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４が前記コンタクト１４の接続部４０の突出台４４（または前記凹部４７）と押受部３２との間で回動すると、前記押受部３２が押圧部５４によって押し上げられることで前記コンタクト１４の連結支点部３０の下端（図４（Ａ）の下側）を支点にし、前記コンタクト１４の連結支点部３０の上端が前記接触部２６側に傾くことによって、前記接触部２６が前記ＦＰＣ６４側に押圧される。前記連結支点部３０と前記押受部３２の大きさや形状は、このような作用を果たすために、適宜設計されている。また、前記コンタクト１４の押受部３２の先端に突出部４２を設け、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４を前記コンタクト１４の押受部３２と接続部４０の突出台４４との間で回動させるとき、前記回動部材１８の係止孔５８に係合させることで、前記回動部材１８の回動に対する強い反発力に対抗することが望ましい。前記突出部４２の大きさは、このような役割を果たすことが出来れば如何なる大きさでもよく、前記回動部材１８の係止孔が引っ掛かる程度に適宜設計する。 The connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are parts for performing the following actions when the FPC 64 is inserted. After the FPC 64 is inserted into the fitting port 20 of the housing 12, the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is connected to the protruding base 44 (or the concave portion 47) and the pressing portion 32 of the connecting portion 40 of the contact 14. When the support portion 32 is pushed up by the pressing portion 54, the lower end of the connection fulcrum portion 30 of the contact 14 (the lower side in FIG. 4A) is used as a fulcrum to connect the contact 14. When the upper end of the fulcrum part 30 is inclined toward the contact part 26 side, the contact part 26 is pressed toward the FPC 64 side. The sizes and shapes of the connecting fulcrum part 30 and the pressing part 32 are appropriately designed in order to achieve such an action. Further, a protrusion 42 is provided at the tip of the pressing portion 32 of the contact 14, and the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is rotated between the pressing portion 32 of the contact 14 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40. When it is moved, it is desirable to resist the strong repulsive force against the rotation of the rotating member 18 by engaging with the locking hole 58 of the rotating member 18. The size of the protruding portion 42 may be any size as long as it can fulfill such a role, and is appropriately designed to the extent that the locking hole of the rotating member 18 is caught.

次に、第二コンタクト１６について説明する。ここでは、上述した第一コンタクト１４との相違部分についてのみ説明する。前記第二コンタクト１６も図４（Ｂ）のように前記第一コンタクト１４と同様に倒略Ｈ字形状をしており、主にＦＰＣ６４と接触する接触部２６（図４（Ｂ）の図面の上側）と基板９０に接続する接続部４０とハウジング１２に固定する固定部３８と連結支点部３０と前記回動部材１８のよって押圧される押受部３２とを備えている。これらの前記接触部２６と前記連結支点部３０と前記接続部４０は、略倒Ｕ字形状に配置されている。前記接続部４０は、前記第一コンタクト１４と同様に表面実装タイプ（ＳＭＴ）にしているが、ディップタイプでも良い。 Next, the second contact 16 will be described. Here, only the difference from the first contact 14 described above will be described. The second contact 16 also has a substantially H-shaped shape as in the case of the first contact 14 as shown in FIG. 4B. The contact portion 26 that mainly contacts the FPC 64 (see FIG. 4B). An upper portion), a connecting portion 40 connected to the substrate 90, a fixing portion 38 fixed to the housing 12, a connecting fulcrum portion 30, and a pressing portion 32 pressed by the rotating member 18. The contact part 26, the connecting fulcrum part 30, and the connection part 40 are arranged in a substantially inverted U shape. The connection portion 40 is a surface mount type (SMT) like the first contact 14, but may be a dip type.

前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の相違点は、幾分形状的な違いはあるものの前記接続部４０と前記延設部３６とが逆にしただけである。即ち、前記第一コンタクト１４では、前記接続部４０を前記押受部３２と対向する側に、前記延設部３６を前記接触部２６と対向する側に設けているのに対し、前記第二コンタクト１６では、前記接続部４０を前記接触部２６と対向する側に、前記延設部３６を前記押受部３２と対向する側に設けている。前記第二コンタクト１６では、前記接続部４０を前記接触部２６に対向する側に設けており、要求仕様によって前記第二コンタクト１６を上下逆に前記ハウジング１２へ挿入している。前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４は、前記第一コンタクト１４の突出台４４（または凹部４７）と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２の間で回動すると、前記第二コンタクト１６の接触部２６が前記ＦＰＣ６４と接続するような構造になっている。上下に配置された前記第一コンタクト１４の突出台４４（凹部４７）と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２との間で、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４が垂直になった際に、それぞれの前記押受部３２が均等に押圧されることにより、前記接触部２６がＦＰＣ６４方向に変位することで前記接触部２６が前記ＦＰＣ６４に接続するようになる。 The difference between the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 is that the connecting portion 40 and the extending portion 36 are reversed, although there is some difference in shape. That is, in the first contact 14, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32, and the extending portion 36 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, whereas the second contact is provided on the second contact side. In the contact 16, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, and the extending portion 36 is provided on the side facing the pressing portion 32. In the second contact 16, the connecting portion 40 is provided on the side facing the contact portion 26, and the second contact 16 is inserted into the housing 12 upside down according to required specifications. When the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 rotates between the projecting base 44 (or the concave portion 47) of the first contact 14 and the pressing portion 32 of the second contact 16, the contact of the second contact 16. The part 26 is structured to be connected to the FPC 64. When the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 becomes vertical between the protruding base 44 (recessed portion 47) of the first contact 14 and the pressing portion 32 of the second contact 16 disposed above and below. When the respective pressing portions 32 are pressed evenly, the contact portion 26 is displaced in the FPC 64 direction so that the contact portion 26 is connected to the FPC 64.

ここで、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４の移動及び回動の仕方について図９に基づいて説明する。
第一に、図９（Ａ）のように前記接続対象物と前記コネクタ１０との接続前の状態で、前記押圧部５４の下端７０側が前記押受部３２の突出部４２と接続部４０の突出台４４との間に位置する。
第二に、図９（Ｂ）のように前記操作部５６を回動（図面の時計回り方向）させると前記押圧部５４が嵌合口２０と反対方向に移動し、前記押圧部５４の下端７０側が前記押受部３２の突出部４２と接続部４０の突出台４４との間に挟持される。
第三に、図９（Ｃ）のように前記操作部５６をさらに回動させると第ニの位置で前記押圧部５４が押圧部５４の中心を回転軸７２として回動する。
第四に、図９（Ｄ）のように前記操作部５６をさらに回動させると第三の位置で前記押圧部５４が押圧部５４の中心を回転軸７２として回動し、前記押圧部５４が前記押受部３２と前記接続部４０の突出台４４との間でほぼ垂直になり回転軸７２が前記突出部４２に接した上端６８側に移動する。
第五に、図９（Ｅ）のように前記操作部５６をさらに回動させると第四の位置で前記押圧部５４が前記突出部４２に接した上端６８側を中心に回動し、前記押圧部５４を前記突出部４２に引っ掛かった状態に係合させる。
即ち、前記押圧部５４は最初は移動し、その後回動し、さらに回動を続けると回転軸７２が変化して、省スペース間でコンパクトな回動（回転）を行なうものである。
つまり、本発明のコネクタ１０では、前記ＦＰＣ６４等の接続対象物を嵌合口２０内に挿入する際に挿入力の掛からない（所謂、ゼロ・インサーション・フォース（ＺＩＦ））構造で、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４をより前記コンタクト１４、１６の突出部４２側で回動させる（より突出部４２側で前記コンタクト１４、１６の押受部３２を押し上げる）ことで小さな力で前記回動部材１８をロックできる構造で、かつ、前記回動部材１８の押圧部５４でより前記コンタクト１４，１６の突出部４２側の押受部３２を押し上げることで高い接触力を得られる構造になっている。 Here, how to move and rotate the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 9A, the lower end 70 side of the pressing portion 54 is connected to the protruding portion 42 of the pressing portion 32 and the connecting portion 40 in a state before the connection object and the connector 10 are connected. It is located between the protrusions 44.
Second, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the operation portion 56 is rotated (clockwise direction in the drawing), the pressing portion 54 moves in the opposite direction to the fitting port 20, and the lower end 70 of the pressing portion 54. The side is sandwiched between the protruding portion 42 of the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40.
Third, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated, the pressing portion 54 rotates about the center of the pressing portion 54 as the rotation shaft 72 at the second position.
Fourth, as shown in FIG. 9D, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated, the pressing portion 54 is rotated about the center of the pressing portion 54 as the rotation shaft 72 at the third position. Becomes substantially vertical between the pressing portion 32 and the protruding base 44 of the connecting portion 40, and the rotating shaft 72 moves to the upper end 68 side in contact with the protruding portion 42.
Fifth, when the operation portion 56 is further rotated as shown in FIG. 9E, the pressing portion 54 is rotated around the upper end 68 side in contact with the protruding portion 42 at the fourth position, The pressing portion 54 is engaged in a state of being caught by the protruding portion 42.
That is, the pressing portion 54 moves first, then rotates, and further rotates, the rotating shaft 72 changes to perform a compact rotation (rotation) between spaces.
In other words, in the connector 10 of the present invention, when the object to be connected such as the FPC 64 is inserted into the fitting port 20, an insertion force is not applied (so-called zero insertion force (ZIF)) structure, and the rotation is performed. By rotating the pressing portion 54 of the member 18 closer to the protruding portion 42 side of the contacts 14 and 16 (pushing up the pressing portion 32 of the contacts 14 and 16 on the protruding portion 42 side), the rotation is performed with a small force. The member 18 can be locked, and the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 can push the pressing portion 32 on the protruding portion 42 side of the contacts 14 and 16 to obtain a high contact force. Yes.

次に、回動部材１８について説明する。前記回動部材１８は図３のように略棒状をしており、前記回動部材１８は電気絶縁性のプラスチックであり、公知技術の射出成形によって製作され、この材質としては寸法安定性や加工性やコスト等を考慮して適宜選択するが、一般的にはポリブチレンテレフタレート（ＰＢＴ）やポリアミド（６６ＰＡ、４６ＰＡ）や液晶ポリマー（ＬＣＰ）やポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）やこれらの合成材料を挙げることができる。
前記回動部材１８は主に前記ハウジング１２に回動可能に装着される軸部分と前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２を押圧する押圧部５４と前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の突出部４２が係合する係止孔５８と操作部５６とを備えている。前記軸は、回動部材１８を回動するための支点であり、ハウジング１２の長手方向両側に回動部材１８が回動可能に適宜装着され、上述したように前記押圧部５４が回動する際に回転軸７２が変化するように前記軸と前記ハウジング１２の軸受け部との関係ではクリアランスを設けている。 Next, the rotating member 18 will be described. The rotating member 18 has a substantially rod shape as shown in FIG. 3, and the rotating member 18 is made of an electrically insulating plastic and is manufactured by a known technique of injection molding. However, in general, examples include polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide (66PA, 46PA), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polycarbonate (PC), and synthetic materials thereof. it can.
The rotating member 18 mainly includes a shaft portion that is rotatably mounted on the housing 12, a pressing portion 54 that presses the pressing portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16, and the first contact 14. And a locking hole 58 and an operation portion 56 with which the protruding portion 42 of the second contact 16 is engaged. The shaft is a fulcrum for rotating the rotating member 18, and the rotating member 18 is appropriately mounted on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the housing 12 so that the pressing portion 54 rotates as described above. At this time, a clearance is provided in the relationship between the shaft and the bearing portion of the housing 12 so that the rotating shaft 72 changes.

前記回動部材１８の前記押圧部５４は、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２に押し付ける部分であり、その形状としては細長形状にすることが望ましく、本実施例では楕円形状をしている。このように楕円形状にすることによって、回動部材１８を回動させ、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２と接続部４０の突出台４４（凹部４７）との間で回転させることで、押圧部５４の大きさの変化により前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２が持ち上げられ、ＦＰＣ６４を前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の接触部２６側に押し付けている。押圧部５４の形状としては、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２と接続部４０の突出台４４（凹部４７）との間で回転でき、長軸と短軸といった大きさの違いにより前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２を押し上げられれば、如何なるものでもよい。前記押圧部５４の形状や大きさは、このようなことを考慮して適宜設計する。また、前記回動部材１８には、操作性を考慮して、操作部５６が設けられている。特徴的なのは、前記第一コンタクト１４の押受部３２と突出台４４（凹部４７）との間で回動することで、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の押受部３２を押し上げて、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の接触部２６をＦＰＣ６４に接触させている。 The pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 is a portion that presses against the pressing portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16, and the shape thereof is preferably an elongated shape. It has an oval shape. Thus, by making the ellipse shape, the rotation member 18 is rotated, and the gap between the first contact 14, the pressing portion 32 of the second contact 16, and the protruding base 44 (concave portion 47) of the connection portion 40. , The pressing portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 is lifted by the change in the size of the pressing portion 54, and the FPC 64 is brought into contact with the first contact 14 and the second contact 16. It is pressed against the part 26 side. The shape of the pressing portion 54 can be rotated between the first contact 14, the pressing portion 32 of the second contact 16, and the protruding base 44 (concave portion 47) of the connecting portion 40, and has a large axis and a short axis. As long as the pressing portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 can be pushed up due to the difference in height, any one may be used. The shape and size of the pressing portion 54 are appropriately designed in consideration of the above. The rotating member 18 is provided with an operation portion 56 in consideration of operability. What is characteristic is that the holding portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 is pushed up by rotating between the holding portion 32 of the first contact 14 and the protruding base 44 (recess 47). Thus, the contact portion 26 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 is brought into contact with the FPC 64.

前記回動部材１８を回動した際に、前記回動部材１８の回動に対する反発力が強い為に、前記第一コンタクト１４と前記第二コンタクト１６の突出部４２が係合する係止孔５８が別個独立に設けられている。前記係止孔５８を別個独立に設けることで、前記回動部材１８の強度アップや回動時の変形を防止している。
上述した前記回動部材１８は前記ハウジング１２の嵌合口２０と反対側（前記第一コンタクト１４の接続部側）に回動自在に装着されている。 Since the repulsive force with respect to the rotation of the rotating member 18 is strong when the rotating member 18 is rotated, the locking hole in which the protruding portion 42 of the first contact 14 and the second contact 16 engages. 58 are provided separately and independently. By providing the locking holes 58 separately and independently, the strength of the rotating member 18 is prevented from being increased and deformation during rotation is prevented.
The rotating member 18 described above is rotatably mounted on the side opposite to the fitting port 20 of the housing 12 (on the connecting portion side of the first contact 14).

最後に、ハウジング１２について説明する。このハウジング１２は電気絶縁性のプラスチックであり、公知技術の射出成形によって製作され、この材質としては寸法安定性や加工性やコスト等を考慮して適宜選択するが、一般的にはポリブチレンテレフタレート（ＰＢＴ）やポリアミド（６６ＰＡ、４６ＰＡ）や液晶ポリマー（ＬＣＰ）やポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）やこれらの合成材料を挙げることができる。 Finally, the housing 12 will be described.

That is, the connection portions 40, 40 of the first contact 14 (the second contact 16) can be inserted either on the lower side or on the upper side, and can be connected to the substrate 90 disposed above and below. Further, the housing 12 is provided with a fitting port 20 into which the FPC 64 is inserted, and the size of the fitting port 20 can be inserted into the FPC 64. When the FPC 64 is inserted, the fitting member 20 is inserted into the housing 12 by the rotating member 18. It is suitably designed so that it can be pressed against one contact 14 and the second contact 16. On both sides of the housing 12 in the longitudinal direction, bearing portions to which the shaft of the rotating member 18 is rotatably mounted are provided. As for the relationship between the shaft and the bearing, a clearance is provided so that the pressing portion 54 of the rotating member 18 as described above can be compactly rotated.
