In the present embodiment, the FPC 5 is attached to the connector 1 by the holding of the base chamber 2 and the support member 6 mounted on the base chamber 2. The susceptor to the cymbal is formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and the convex portion 2a is formed at a substantially central portion thereof. A concave portion 2b capable of accommodating the shutter member is formed around the convex portion 2a around the convex portion 2a, and the outer surface of the vertical wall 2c constituting the convex portion 2a and the concave portion 2b is formed in detail later. The fixing piece 2d of the fixing support member 6 is fixed.

Further, in the base chamber 2, a plurality of hole portions 2e for mounting a floating mechanism are formed in a flat portion adjacent to the convex portion 2a. The contact 3 is made of an elongated plate-shaped conductive member such as a copper alloy, and is provided in a plurality of side faces in the longitudinal direction of the convex portion 2a formed in the base chamber. Similarly to the above-described base chamber 2, the shutter member 4 is formed by molding a synthetic resin. The shutter member 4 has a cross-sectional shape in which the opening is substantially the same as that of the above-mentioned convex portion 2a. The surface thereof is covered with a screen cover 7 which is nickel-plated on a copper alloy. The shutter member 4 blocks the contact 3 provided on the convex portion 2a from the outside in a non-connected state with a female connector (not shown) to prevent the contact 3 from being attached to and damaged by dust and foreign matter. The convex portion 2a of the base chamber 2 is fitted to the opening, and the shutter member 4 is a π-small lean, t

When the convex portion 2a is slidably slidable, when the external force is not applied to the shutter member 4 by the two coil springs 8, for example, in a non-connected state with a connector, which will be described later, it is supported and held in coverage. The position of the surface of the convex portion 2a of 3 is accommodated. FPC5, as shown in the above figure and Figure 3, is used on the surface of flexible sheets.
