Description

電気コネクタElectrical connector
 本発明は、例えばデジタル家電機器や携帯電話機等に使用されるインターフェースコネクタなどの電気コネクタに関する。 The present invention relates to an electrical connector such as an interface connector used in, for example, digital home appliances and mobile phones.
 電気コネクタに相手側コネクタとの嵌合を検知する機能をもたせると、複数のインターフェースコネクタが配置された場合に、相手側コネクタと嵌合されているコネクタにのみ電源や信号を供給することができ、システム上の誤作動回避に寄与する。 If the electrical connector has a function to detect mating with the mating connector, power and signals can be supplied only to the connector mated with the mating connector when multiple interface connectors are installed. Contributes to avoiding malfunctions in the system.
 この種の電気コネクタは、例えば特許文献1に開示されており、検知スイッチを構成する第1、第2のスイッチ片を有している。第1のスイッチ片は、第1のバネ部と第1の接触部とを有している。第2のスイッチ片は、第2のバネ部と第2の接触部とを有している。 This type of electrical connector is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1, and has first and second switch pieces constituting a detection switch. The first switch piece has a first spring portion and a first contact portion. The second switch piece has a second spring portion and a second contact portion.
特許第3635398号公報Japanese Patent No. 3635398
 特許文献1においては、第1、第2のスイッチ片は、このコネクタに備えられたコンタクトと延在方向が同じで、サイズも同程度であるため、第1、第2のバネ部の長さが限定されている。このため、安定して信頼性の高いスイッチ動作に必要な弾性を確保するためには、バネ部の板厚や板幅を比較的大きくしなければならない。しかし、このことは占有スペースの増大を招き、結果的に電気コネクタの小型化、低背化に不利である。また、スイッチのバネが硬く、相手側コネクタ挿入時に大きな挿入力を要し、操作性に劣る可能性がある。 In Patent Document 1, since the first and second switch pieces have the same extending direction and the same size as the contacts provided in the connector, the lengths of the first and second spring portions are the same. Is limited. For this reason, in order to ensure the elasticity required for stable and reliable switch operation, the plate | board thickness and plate | board width of a spring part must be made comparatively large. However, this leads to an increase in occupied space, and as a result, it is disadvantageous for reducing the size and height of the electrical connector. Further, the switch spring is hard and requires a large insertion force when the mating connector is inserted, which may result in poor operability.
 それ故、本発明の目的は、上述した課題を解決する電気コネクタを提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector that solves the above-described problems.

 以下、図面を参照して本発明による電気コネクタの一実施形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of an electrical connector according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 図1及び図2を参照すると、本電気コネクタは、樹脂性のハウジング2と、ハウジング2に保持され、図3に示された相手側コネクタ100のコンタクト102と電気的に接続可能な複数のコンタクト1と、ハウジング2に保持され、相手側コネクタ100との嵌合を検知する検知スイッチと、ハウジング2を覆う金属製のシェル3とを有している。 Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrical connector includes a resinous housing 2 and a plurality of contacts that are held in the housing 2 and can be electrically connected to the contacts 102 of the mating connector 100 shown in FIG. 3. 1, a detection switch that is held in the housing 2 and detects the mating with the mating connector 100, and a metal shell 3 that covers the housing 2.
 さらに図4から図7を併せ参照すると、本電気コネクタの検知スイッチは、第1のスイッチ片4と、第2のスイッチ片5とによって構成されている。 Further referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, the detection switch of the electrical connector includes a first switch piece 4 and a second switch piece 5.
 第1のスイッチ片4は、ハウジング2に圧入されることによって保持される第1の保持部9と、第1の保持部9から延びる第1のバネ部6と、第1のバネ部6の先端に備えられた第1の接触部8と、第1の接触部8から相手側コネクタ100が挿入された際にこれに対峙するように延びて形成された被押圧部7とを有している。 The first switch piece 4 includes a first holding portion 9 that is held by being press-fitted into the housing 2, a first spring portion 6 that extends from the first holding portion 9, and a first spring portion 6. A first contact portion 8 provided at the distal end; and a pressed portion 7 formed to extend so as to confront the mating connector 100 when the mating connector 100 is inserted from the first contact portion 8. Yes.
 第2のスイッチ片5は、ハウジング2に圧入されることによって保持される第2の保持部12と、第2の保持部12から第1の接触部8に近付く向きに延びる第2のバネ部11と、第2のバネ部11の先端に備えられた第2の接触部10とを有している。 The second switch piece 5 includes a second holding portion 12 that is held by being press-fitted into the housing 2, and a second spring portion that extends from the second holding portion 12 in a direction approaching the first contact portion 8. 11 and a second contact portion 10 provided at the tip of the second spring portion 11.
 そして、相手側コネクタ100が嵌合される際、相手側コネクタ100の先端部101によって被押圧部7が押圧され、第1のバネ部6の弾性変形と共に第1の接触部8が変位する。さらに、第1の接触部8が第2の接触部10に摺接しながら第2の接触部10を押圧することにより、第2のバネ部11の弾性変形と共に第2の接触部10が変位する。即ち、第1の接触部8と第2の接触部10とは、互いに摺接し、その後も接続状態が維持される。 Then, when the mating connector 100 is fitted, the pressed portion 7 is pressed by the distal end portion 101 of the mating connector 100, and the first contact portion 8 is displaced along with the elastic deformation of the first spring portion 6. Further, the second contact portion 10 is displaced together with the elastic deformation of the second spring portion 11 by pressing the second contact portion 10 while the first contact portion 8 is in sliding contact with the second contact portion 10. . That is, the first contact portion 8 and the second contact portion 10 are in sliding contact with each other, and the connected state is maintained thereafter.
 したがって、第1および第2のスイッチ片4および5は、相手側コネクタ100の未嵌合時には開、相手側コネクタ100の嵌合時には閉となる検知スイッチとして動作する。第1および第2のスイッチ片4および5には検知スイッチの開閉に基づいて嵌合の有無を検出する検出回路50(図9参照)が接続されており、相手側コネクタ100が嵌合されているか否かが検出される。 Therefore, the first and second switch pieces 4 and 5 operate as detection switches that are opened when the mating connector 100 is not mated and are closed when the mating connector 100 is mated. The first and second switch pieces 4 and 5 are connected to a detection circuit 50 (see FIG. 9) for detecting the presence / absence of fitting based on opening / closing of the detection switch, and the mating connector 100 is fitted. Whether it is present or not is detected.
 本電気コネクタにおいては、特に、第1のバネ部6および第2のバネ部11は、相手側コネクタ100の嵌合方向Dに直交するコネクタ幅方向Wに延びている。そして、相手側コネクタ100の嵌合によって第1のバネ部6が嵌合方向Dに弾性変形することにより、第1の接触部8が嵌合方向Dに変位し、第2の接触部10が第1の接触部8によって嵌合方向Dおよび幅方向Wに直交するコネクタ高さ方向Hに押圧される。この際に、第2のバネ部11が高さ方向Hに弾性変形し、かつ、第1の接触部8と第2の接触部10とが摺接しながら変位する。摺接後も、第1の接触部8と第2の接触部10との接続状態は維持される。 In this electrical connector, in particular, the first spring portion 6 and the second spring portion 11 extend in the connector width direction W perpendicular to the fitting direction D of the mating connector 100. When the mating connector 100 is fitted, the first spring portion 6 is elastically deformed in the fitting direction D, whereby the first contact portion 8 is displaced in the fitting direction D, and the second contact portion 10 is The first contact portion 8 is pressed in the connector height direction H perpendicular to the fitting direction D and the width direction W. At this time, the second spring portion 11 is elastically deformed in the height direction H, and the first contact portion 8 and the second contact portion 10 are displaced while sliding. Even after the sliding contact, the connection state between the first contact portion 8 and the second contact portion 10 is maintained.
 第1のバネ部6および第2のバネ部11がコネクタ幅方向Wに延びていることにより、バネ部の長さが他のコンタンクトと同程度に制限される特許文献1の電気コネクタに比べ、第1、第2のバネ部の長さが長く、このため、バネ部の板厚や板幅を大きくせずとも、安定して信頼性の高いスイッチ動作に必要な弾性を確保できる。これと共に、第1および第2の接触部同士の摺接代(有効摺接長さ)を十分に確保できる。さらに、バネ部の板厚や板幅を大きくする必要がないため、占有スペースの増大を来たすことがなく、電気コネクタの小型化、低背化に有利である。さらにまた、スイッチのバネが硬くなく、相手側コネクタ挿入時にさほど大きな挿入力は不要であり、操作性に優れている。 Compared to the electrical connector of Patent Document 1 in which the first spring portion 6 and the second spring portion 11 extend in the connector width direction W, so that the length of the spring portion is limited to the same extent as other constants. The lengths of the first and second spring portions are long, so that the elasticity necessary for a stable and reliable switch operation can be ensured without increasing the plate thickness and plate width of the spring portions. At the same time, the sliding allowance (effective sliding contact length) between the first and second contact portions can be sufficiently secured. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to increase the plate thickness and the plate width of the spring portion, the occupied space is not increased, which is advantageous for reducing the size and height of the electrical connector. Furthermore, the spring of the switch is not hard, so that a large insertion force is not required when the mating connector is inserted, and the operability is excellent.
 第1のバネ部6は、略U字に湾曲している。これにより、仮に第1のバネ部6がコネクタ幅方向Wに沿って単にストレート形状の場合に比べて長いバネ長が確保されている。また、第2のバネ部11は、屈曲している。これにより、仮に第2のバネ部11がコネクタ幅方向Wに沿って単にストレート形状の場合に比べて長いバネ長が確保されている。 The first spring portion 6 is curved in a substantially U shape. As a result, a longer spring length is ensured as compared with the case where the first spring portion 6 is simply straight along the connector width direction W. Further, the second spring portion 11 is bent. Accordingly, a longer spring length is ensured as compared with the case where the second spring portion 11 is simply straight along the connector width direction W.
 第1の接触部8は、曲面を呈している。一方、第2の接触部10は、傾斜した案内部10aとそれに続く平面部10bとを備えている。そして、第1の接触部8と第2の接触部10とが摺接する際には、第1の接触部8が、案内部10a上とこれに続いて平面部10b上を摺接する。 The first contact portion 8 has a curved surface. On the other hand, the 2nd contact part 10 is provided with the inclined guide part 10a and the plane part 10b following it. And when the 1st contact part 8 and the 2nd contact part 10 are slidably contacted, the 1st contact part 8 slidably contacts on the guide part 10a and the plane part 10b following this.
 第1のスイッチ片4は、第1の保持部9から延び、基板上の導電パターンと接続する第1の端子部13を有している。同様に、第2のスイッチ片5は、第2の保持部12から延び、基板上の導電パターンと接続する第2の端子部14を有している。本実施形態において、第1の端子部13および第2の端子部14は、本電気コネクタの搭載対象物としての図示しない電気回路基板等への表面実装型である。しかしながら、スイッチ片の端子部は、搭載対象物である電気回路基板等に形成されたスルーホールに挿入可能なリード状を呈する植設型であってもよい。 The first switch piece 4 has a first terminal portion 13 extending from the first holding portion 9 and connected to a conductive pattern on the substrate. Similarly, the 2nd switch piece 5 has the 2nd terminal part 14 extended from the 2nd holding | maintenance part 12 and connected with the conductive pattern on a board | substrate. In this embodiment, the 1st terminal part 13 and the 2nd terminal part 14 are the surface mounting types to the electric circuit board etc. which are not shown in figure as a mounting object of this electrical connector. However, the terminal portion of the switch piece may be an implanted type that has a lead shape that can be inserted into a through hole formed in an electric circuit board or the like that is a mounting target.
 次に、さらに図8を併せ参照して、本電気コネクタの動作、即ち、検知スイッチが作動して相手側コネクタ100の嵌合を検知するまでの流れについて説明する。 Next, the operation of the electrical connector, that is, the flow until the detection switch is activated and the mating of the mating connector 100 is detected will be described with reference to FIG.
 いま、本電気コネクタには、相手側コネクタ100は嵌合されておらず、第1のスイッチ片4の第1の接触部8ならびに第2のスイッチ片5の第2の接触部10は、図8(a)に示される状態にある。ここで、第1および第2のスイッチ片4および5には、検知スイッチの開閉に基づいて嵌合の有無を検出する検出回路50が接続されており、相手側コネクタ100が未嵌合のときは、図9(a)に示される状態にあり、検出回路50は、相手側コネクタ100が未嵌合である旨を検出する。 Now, the mating connector 100 is not fitted into this electrical connector, and the first contact portion 8 of the first switch piece 4 and the second contact portion 10 of the second switch piece 5 are It is in the state shown in FIG. Here, when the mating connector 100 is not mated, the first and second switch pieces 4 and 5 are connected to a detection circuit 50 that detects the presence or absence of mating based on opening and closing of the detection switch. Is in the state shown in FIG. 9A, and the detection circuit 50 detects that the mating connector 100 is not fitted.
 本電気コネクタに対して相手側コネクタ100の先端部101(図3参照)の挿入が開始され、図8(b)に示されるように、第1のスイッチ片4の被押圧部7に相手側コネクタ100の先端が接触し、被押圧部7が相手側コネクタ100の嵌合によって嵌合方向D(図中、右向き)に押圧されると、第1の接触部8が第2の接触部10の案内部10aに当接する。そして、第1の接触部8の図中右向きの移動に伴い、第2の接触部10はコネクタ高さ方向H(図中、下向き)に押し下げられ始める。 Insertion of the tip 101 (see FIG. 3) of the mating connector 100 into the electrical connector is started, and the mating side of the pressed portion 7 of the first switch piece 4 is shown in FIG. 8B. When the tip of the connector 100 comes into contact and the pressed part 7 is pressed in the fitting direction D (toward the right in the figure) by the mating connector 100 fitting, the first contact part 8 becomes the second contact part 10. It abuts on the guide portion 10a. As the first contact portion 8 moves to the right in the drawing, the second contact portion 10 starts to be pushed down in the connector height direction H (downward in the drawing).
 相手側コネクタ100が嵌合方向D(図中、右向き)にさらに挿入され続けると、第1の接触部8は、第2の接触部10の平面部10b上を摺接する。そして、図8(c)に示されるように、相手側コネクタ100が規定位置まで挿入されて嵌合が完了すると、第1の接触部8と第2の接触部10の平面部10bとが確実に接続され、十分な接触代(有効接触長さ)が確保される。このとき、第1の接触部8は、第2の接触部10から弾性力を受けている。 When the mating connector 100 continues to be inserted further in the fitting direction D (rightward in the figure), the first contact portion 8 slides on the flat surface portion 10b of the second contact portion 10. Then, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the mating connector 100 is inserted to the specified position and the fitting is completed, the first contact portion 8 and the flat portion 10b of the second contact portion 10 are surely connected. And a sufficient contact allowance (effective contact length) is secured. At this time, the first contact portion 8 receives an elastic force from the second contact portion 10.
 以上のようにして、相手側コネクタ100の嵌合により、本電気コネクタの第1のスイッチ片4と第2のスイッチ片5とが接続される。そして、相手側コネクタ100が嵌合された際には、図9(b)に示される状態にあり、検出回路50は、相手側コネクタ100が嵌合された旨を検出する。なお、相手側コネクタ100は、メモリカード等のカード状電子デバイスに一体に備えられたコネクタであってもよい。 As described above, the first switch piece 4 and the second switch piece 5 of the electrical connector are connected by the mating of the mating connector 100. When the mating connector 100 is fitted, it is in the state shown in FIG. 9B, and the detection circuit 50 detects that the mating connector 100 is fitted. The counterpart connector 100 may be a connector provided integrally with a card-like electronic device such as a memory card.

 図10~図12を参照すると、特許文献1に開示されたものと同様の電気コネクタが開示されている。その電気コネクタは、検知スイッチを構成する対のスイッチ片として、第1、第2のスイッチ片64、65を有している。第1、第2のスイッチ片64、65は、相手側コネクタとの電気的接続のために、この電気コネクタに備えられたコンタクト(図示せず)と同程度のサイズを有している。 10 to 12, an electrical connector similar to that disclosed in Patent Document 1 is disclosed.
