Abstract

The connector of the invention is installed in a printed substrate to connect with FPC. The connector includes an insulated socket enclosure formed with a terminal plug-in jack, a spring contact installed inside the socket enclosure and a pair of adjustment strips installed on both sides of the jack and extending along the edge of the jack. The edge portion of the jack in the socket enclosure is requested to have specific thickness. The spring contact is equipped with two elastic holding parts extending toward the jack. Based on the invention, by passing the FPC through the jack to be inserted in between the elastic holding parts, the elastic holding parts clamp the live part of FPC. As such even when FPC is inserted in the jack slope-wise, the crack resulting from expanding the jack along the width or thickness direction can be prevented. Besides, higher rigidity of socket enclosure can further firmly prevent the jack from generating crack.

[Prior Art] In recent years, electronic devices, such as mobile phones and digital cameras, are accelerating the miniaturization of products. In such an electronic device, an electronic component or a printed circuit board is installed. In order to connect such electronic parts and printed circuit boards, a flat and flexible FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) and a connector for the FPC are mostly used. Therefore, this FPC connector is required to include a miniaturization with a reduced installation height (low profile). In order to solve this problem, there is a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) type connector that can be inserted and removed with FPC almost effortlessly. This ZIF type connector can achieve low profile and prevent the cover from opening or flexing to ensure the conduction of the FPC. The ZIF type connector includes, for example, an insulating case having an opening, a plurality of connectors provided inside the case and extending toward the opening, and a cover member supported by the case and opening and closing the opening. (For example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-252067.) The cover member has a support shaft mounted on the base end side and a fastening portion mounted on the front end side. The housing includes a guide support portion that supports the cover member support shaft to slide back and forth freely, and a lock portion that engages the cover member engagement portion. This connector closes the cover member in a state in which the support shaft of the cover member is located on the front side of the guide support portion. Then, the cover member is slid, the 89814.doc 1233238 support shaft of the cover member is moved to the rear side of the guide support portion, and the engaging portion is engaged with the locking portion. This connector system can achieve low back, prevent the cover from opening or flexing, and connect the FPC securely. However, the actual height of the connector on the printed circuit board is actually required to be 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm. Therefore, it is difficult to adopt a structure using the aforementioned sliding insulator, and a so-called NON-ZIF type connector has been disclosed. The NON-ZIF type connector is a two-piece connector that is installed inside the base insulator, and maintains the structure of the FPC by holding the front end of the FPC. Here, the base insulation system is formed of plastic of an insulating material. If the actual height of the NON-ZIF type connector is taken as 1.5 mm and the thickness of the FPC is taken as 0.3 mm, the FPC insertion opening of the connector will have a wall thickness of approximately 0.6 mm. In addition, if the actual height of the NON-ZIF type connector is taken as 1.0 mm and the thickness of the FPC is taken as 0.3 mm, the FPC insertion opening of the connector will have a wall thickness of approximately 0.35 mm. However, even if the base insulator is formed by using hard plastic to make the FPC insertion port a wall thickness of about 0.6 to 0.35 mm, there is still a problem that the base insulator is prone to cracks (cracks) when the FPC is inserted into the FPC insertion port of the connector. . [Summary of the Invention] The present invention is made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object thereof is to provide an FPC connector which can prevent the terminal of the socket housing even when the conductive portion of the FPC is slantly inserted into the terminal insertion port of the FPC connector. A crack (crack) was created at the insertion port 89814.doc 1233238. The inventors have invented a new type of FPC connector as follows in order to satisfy the above-mentioned object.
