Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish a highly versatile device by forming a connector in combination of a case part mounted on a back panel and a body part capable of being fixed to any position on the case part and thereby providing connectability of a package, if necessary, which is arranged differently from the initially specified mounting positions. SOLUTION: A connector concerned 5 comprises a case part 7 mounted on a back panel 2 and a body part 6 slidably fitted in the case part 7. The case part 7 is furnished with a case side contact 9 connected electrically to the circuit on the back panel 2, while the body part 6 is equipped with a body side contact 8 whose one end is made possible to contact with the case side contact 9 and other end is arranged as connectable with the mating connector member, and the body part 6 is moved so that the body side contact 8 is made connectable with the desired case side contact 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connector, for example, a connector mounted on a bookshelf mounting unit of a communication device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a bookshelf mounting unit. In this figure, 1 indicates a unit frame. Reference numeral 2 denotes a back panel on which a plurality of connectors 3 are mounted and fixed to the unit frame 1. A large number of packages 4 are mounted on a unit having such a configuration, thereby forming an apparatus.

In order to prevent the package 4 from being erroneously inserted, the mounting positions of the conventional connectors 3 are sometimes shifted vertically above and below the unit for each type of the corresponding package 4. By shifting the position, only the package 4 corresponding to the connector 3 can be connected, and other packages 4 cannot be connected.

[0004]

However, in the above prior art, only a predetermined package can be mounted on a connector at a predetermined position. Therefore, it is desired to temporarily mount a package having a different connector arrangement by a test or the like. In this case, it was not possible to cope with such a case, and the versatility was poor.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a case mounted on a back panel, and a main body slidably fitted in the case. An electrically connected case-side contact is provided, and a body-side contact is formed on the main body, one end of which can be connected to the case-side contact and the other end is formed so as to be connectable to a corresponding connector. The main body side contact is connected to a desired case side contact.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment. FIG. 1 (a) is a perspective sectional view of a connector of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (b) is a view of the connector as viewed from a package insertion / removal direction. .

The connector 5 of the present invention is divided into a main body 6 and a case 7, and these are used in combination.
The main body 6 and the case 7 are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin, and the main body 6 is provided with a metal main body side contact 8.
And a metal case-side contact 9 is press-fitted and fixed to the case portion 7.

In the example of FIG. 1, a male connector is formed by using the main body side contact 8 as a male contact, and a package having a female connector can be connected thereto. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A female connector may be used as the female contact, and a package having a male connector may be connected to the female connector. 10
Is a positioning projection, which is formed on the main body 6. 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a positioning recess, which is formed in a plurality on the case portion 7,
It has a shape corresponding to the positioning projection.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a back panel of a bookshelf mounting unit or the like. A case-side contact 9 is inserted into a through hole (not shown) of the back panel 2 and electrically connected by soldering or the like to connect the case portion 7. Fix it. The main body 6 is mounted in the case 7. For example, when the case 7 is formed of a flexible resin or the like, the pair of wings 12 of the case 7 has a spring property.
“a” is pressed into contact with the spherical portion 9 a of the case-side contact 9 to be electrically connected. At this time, the positioning projection 10 is fitted into the positioning recess 11, and the main body side contact 8 and the case side contact 9 are correctly matched.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the portion where both the main body side contact 8 and the case side contact 9 come into contact with each other is formed in a spherical shape. For example, one of them may be formed in a flat shape. The position of the main body side contact 8 can be arbitrarily set by fitting the positioning protrusion 10 to the other positioning recess 11.
That is, the main body 6 can be variably set with respect to the mounting position of the case 7 by sliding the main body 6 in the vertical direction of FIG.

The movable range of the main body 6 and the terminal arrangement correspond to each other. That is, even when the main body 6 is moved, the plurality of case-side contacts 9 are allocated so that the signal of the main body-side contact 8 becomes the same signal.
As described above, with the connector 5 of the present embodiment, the main body 6 can be displaced even after mounting on the back panel 2. For this reason, it is usually possible to prevent the package 4 from being erroneously inserted by fixing the main body 6 at a predetermined position, and by setting the main body 6 to a desired position as necessary, 5 Differently arranged packages 4 can also be connected.

[0012]

As described above in detail, the connector is constructed by combining the case mounted on the back panel and the main body which can be fixed to an arbitrary position of the case, so that the It is also possible to connect packages having an arrangement different from the original mounting position, which has the effect of realizing a highly versatile device.
