くなる。As shown in FIGS. 2, 6 and 7, when the printed circuit board 13 (also shown in FIG. 4) is pushed into the receiving groove 15 to be fitted and the housing 17 contacts the base insulator 23, the printed circuit board 13 is printed. The circuit board 13 and the flexible printed circuit member 27 are directly connected via the bent portion 31. When making contact, the balance of the contact force P applied to the elastic thin plate 25 is determined by the flexible printed circuit member 27.
Is very soft, W × b = P × a and W = P × a / b due to the balance of the moment of the fixed end 29.
(A <b) (a and b are the dimensions shown in FIG. 2). Therefore, the force W applied to the base insulator 23 that slides and moves inside the edge connector during insertion / removal is a force that is extremely small with respect to the contact force P (P >> W), and the insertion / removal force becomes small.
