The one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 182722 is known.
This will be described below with reference to FIG. The connector housing 1 is mounted vertically on the board S, and an insertion chamber 3 is formed in the inside thereof so that the flat cable 2 can be inserted from above. A terminal piece 4 is attached to the connector housing 1.
Of the connector housing 1 projects from the bottom of the connector housing 1
To be soldered. The upper end of the terminal piece 4 extends upward on the left side wall of the insertion chamber 3 and is then bent inward so as to form an elastic contact piece 5 to be inserted into the insertion chamber 3. The flat cable 2 is pressed against the right side wall so as to make elastic contact therewith.

I have to. In other words, if the elastic contact piece portion 5 is constantly urged in the direction of pressing the flat cable 2, the flat cable 2 cannot be smoothly inserted and removed, so that when the flat cable 2 is inserted and removed, it is elastically deformed in the direction opposite to the pressing direction.

必ずしも容易ではなかった。However, in the above configuration, since the operating member presses the attaching portion of the elastic contact piece and elastically deforms the elastic contact piece in the direction opposite to the pressing direction, the operation member is not compared with the operation of the operating member. It needed great power. In addition, in the pressing operation of the base portion, the elastic contact piece portion is greatly deformed by a slight stroke, so that the stroke amount of the operation member cannot be set unnecessarily large, and it is difficult to control the elastic contact piece portion. for that reason,
With the connector having the above configuration, the work of inserting and removing the flat cable is not always easy.

る。[0005] Also, consider the case where the above-described connector configuration is applied to a connector that is mounted horizontally on a board and a flat cable is inserted along the board. In this case,
If the operation member is disposed on the side in contact with the substrate, the operation member must be operated at a low position, and thus there is a problem that the operation is difficult. Also, if the operation member is arranged on the side opposite to the side in contact with the substrate, the operation member can be operated at a relatively high position away from the substrate, so that the operation does not become difficult, but in this case, On the contrary, the insertion position of the flat cable becomes a low position in contact with the substrate, and there is a problem that it becomes difficult to insert the flat cable. In short, in the above configuration, the side on which the flat cable is pressed and the side on which the operating member is arranged are in an opposite relationship to each other. Therefore, when the connector is mounted on the board in a horizontal position, the operating member is located on either the upper or lower side. Even if it does, the problem that the work of inserting and removing the flat cable is difficult is caused.

することができる。According to the present invention, the insertion space for inserting the sheet-like conductive path along the board is formed on the opposite side of the connector housing from the board side.
An operation member operable along the insertion direction of the sheet-shaped conductive path is arranged on a ceiling surface in the insertion space. Then, the sheet-like conductive path inserted into the insertion space is pressed against the operation member by the elastic contact piece of the terminal piece.

Then, when the operation member 20 is slid backward (to the left in FIG. 1), the press receiving portion 32 of each terminal piece 30 is moved to the operation portion 2.
It is pressed downward by the third convex portion 23A. Thereby, the elastic contact piece 31 bends downward, and a gap larger than the thickness of the FPC 40 is formed between the contact section 31A and the operation section 23 (see FIG. 2). Then, the end of the FPC 40 is inserted into the insertion chamber 13 through the insertion port 11. At this time, FP
C40 is guided by the guide surfaces 14 and 22A into the lower space of the operation unit 23 in the insertion chamber 13.

It is pushed further inward through the gap formed between the operation part 23 and the contact part 31A. And the operation member 2
When the sliding operation of “0” is stopped, the operating member 20 is pushed back slightly forward by the resilient force from each of the press receiving portions 32, and is pressed against the ceiling surface of the insertion chamber 13 together with the FPC 40 by the return of the contact portion 31A. Thereby, the movement of the operation member 20 stops. At the same time, the FPC is sandwiched between the operation part 23 and the contact part 31A, and the contact part 31A and the conductive pattern 43 make elastic contact.

る。As described above, in the present embodiment, the insertion chamber 13 for inserting the FPC 40 is formed at the upper part in the connector housing 10 and the operation member 2 is formed therein.
0 is arranged. The FPC 40 inserted into the insertion chamber 13 is sandwiched between the elastic contact piece 31 and the operation unit 23. Therefore, when mounted on the board S, the operation of the operation member 20 and the insertion and removal of the FPC 40 can be performed at a relatively high position away from the board surface, so that the connection work of the FPC 40 is facilitated. In addition, a pressure receiving portion 32 is connected to the distal end side of the elastic contact piece portion 31, and the elastic contact piece portion 31 is pressed by the operation member 20 so that the elastic contact piece portion 31 is bent in a direction opposite to the pressing direction against the FPC 40. Therefore, the operating force can be made smaller than before.
