However, inside the first tubular part 105, the first fitting portion is interposed between the first tubular portion 151 and the first fitting portion 152 with the adhesive 110 or the packing 111 interposed. Since the joint portion 152 is sealed from the tubular portion 151 to have a waterproof structure, the number of parts is large and there is a difficulty in assembling.

The adhesive 110 is attached to the first fitting portion 152.
Between the first tubular portion 151 and the first tubular portion 151, or packing 1
Since 11 is press-fitted to have a waterproof structure, it is difficult to check whether the filling or the press-fitted state is reliably performed.

Further, there is a limit in securing a required number of signals in a predetermined space with one FPC 107. Therefore, if the hinge connector is configured by using two FPCs, the number of signals to be handled increases, but the assembly becomes complicated, and the gap between the first and second connection portions 107a and 107b of the two FPCs 107 is increased. And the waterproof structure cannot be achieved.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hinge connector which can facilitate the assembling work even when the contacts have a narrow pitch and can hide the conductor parts such as FPC and FFC from the outside. is there.

Another object of the present invention is to incorporate a plurality of conductor parts in a predetermined space in order to achieve high density and to obtain a required number of signals in a predetermined space, thus providing a waterproof structure.
