Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Since the present invention does not use the conventional actuator 11 ', the connection failure can be prevented by forgetting to operate the actuator 11' and the man-hours required for the operation can be reduced by not operating the actuator 11 '. The present invention relates to a flexible board and a rigid board relay connector 1 that are not only inexpensive and easy to manufacture, but also have excellent contact reliability. The terminal 2 is held by engaging a protrusion 3 provided in the center of the terminal 2 with an engaging groove 7 provided in the housing, and forming a movable piece having a fulcrum A at the center and contacts at both ends. Contact means for contacting the flexible substrate 8 at the contact portion 4,
The flexible board and the rigid board relay connector 1 are characterized by comprising contact means for contacting the rigid board 9 in the contact part 5.

[Industrial applications]

In the present invention, since the conventional actuator 11 'is unnecessary, connection failure due to forgetting the operation of the actuator 11' can be prevented, and the man-hours required for the operation of the actuator 11 'can be reduced. In addition, the present invention relates to a flexible board and a rigid board relay connector 1 having excellent contact reliability.

[0002]

[Prior art]

In a conventional flexible board-rigid board relay connector 1 ', as shown in FIG. 2, after the rigid board 9'and the flexible board 8'are inserted, an actuator 11' is inserted on the flexible board side for connection. Thus, a mechanism having an actuator 11 'is indispensable for the conventional flexible board and rigid board relay connector 1 '. Therefore, the number of parts is increased, which inevitably leads to an increase in cost and man-hours.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve these drawbacks, the present invention has been earnestly studied, and as a result, since the conventional actuator 11 'is unnecessary, the connection failure due to the forgetting operation of the actuator 11' is prevented and the man-hours required for the operation of the actuator 11 'are eliminated. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible board and a rigid board relay connector 1 which are not only inexpensive and easy to manufacture, but also have excellent contact reliability. A protrusion provided at the center engages with an engagement groove provided at the housing to hold the terminal, and a movable piece with a fulcrum at the center and contacts at both ends is formed. Flexible substrate and rigid base plate relay connector characterized by comprising contact means for contacting the rigid substrate at the second contact portion. It is.

【Example】

An embodiment of the flexible board and rigid board relay connector 1 of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1A is a side view of the flexible board and rigid board relay connector 1 of the present invention in a state before the flexible board 8 and the rigid board 9 are fitted to each other. FIG. 1B is a plan view and a side view of the terminal 2 in the flexible board and rigid board relay connector 1 of the present invention. As is apparent from the figure, the flexible substrate and the rigid board relay connector 1 of the present invention is a terminal 2 holds a protrusion 3 provided at the center of the terminal 2 to engage with the engaging groove 7 provided in the housing , A fulcrum A in the central part, and a movable piece having contacts at both ends, contact means for contacting the flexible substrate 8 at the first contact portion 4, and contact means for contacting the rigid substrate 9 at the second contact portion 5. It is a relay connector 1 for a flexible substrate and a rigid substrate, characterized in that Here, the protrusion 3 engages with the engagement groove 7 provided in the housing, and holds the terminal 2 . Therefore, the central portion A serves as a fulcrum.

[0005] Since the above structure, when using the present invention for a flexible substrate and rigid substrate relay connector 1, first, inserting the flexible board 8 to the relay connector 1 for flexible substrates and rigid substrates of the present invention . At this time, the flexible substrate 8 comes into contact with the first contact portion 4 of the terminal 2 , but the insertion force at that time can be inserted with almost zero. Next, when the rigid board 9 is inserted, it contacts at the second contact portion 5, but at that time, the portion A serves as a fulcrum, and the force F acts due to the moment as shown in the figure, so that it contacts one flexible board 8. A pressure is obtained and complete contact is made at the first contact point 4.

Up to now, the case where the projection 3 of the terminal 2 is engaged with the engaging groove provided in the housing and the portion A serves as a fulcrum has been described as a typical example, but the point is that it functions as a fulcrum. Needless to say, the protrusion 3 need not necessarily be included, and various modifications are included within the scope of the present invention in terms of design.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the flexible board and rigid board relay connector of the present invention 1 According to this, since the conventionally used actuator 11 'is unnecessary, it is possible to prevent connection failure due to forgetting to operate the actuator 11'. Since the actuator 11 'is not required to be operated, the number of processing steps can be reduced. It is cheap. Easy to manufacture. Excellent contact reliability. Because of the excellent effect, its industrial value is very large.
