- the present invention relates to an electrical connection member, a portable electronic device, and an electrical connector.
- a D-sub connector is known as an example of an electrical connector (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the D-sub connector there are a male D-sub connector having a plurality of male contacts and a female D-sub connector having a plurality of female contacts. Then, the contact of the male D-sub connector and the contact of the female D-sub connector come into contact with each other, so that both the D-sub connectors are electrically connected to each other.
- the D-sub connector may be provided as an element of the wire harness.
- the wire harness has, for example, a D-sub connector and a cable extending from the D-sub connector.
- a fitting portion is formed to be fitted to the mating D-sub connector.
- the mating D-sub connector is inserted into this fitting portion.
- the cable extends from the back surface of the D-sub connector facing away from the front surface where the fitting portion is formed. As a result of such a configuration, the cable extends along the direction in which the counterpart D-sub connector is inserted into the D-sub connector.
- the D-sub connector has a configuration in which a large number of contacts are arranged in a row. For this reason, when connecting the D-sub connector and the mating D-sub connector, it is necessary to connect a large number of contacts, and an operator needs to press both connectors together with a strong force. For this purpose, it is preferable that the D-sub connectors can be coupled to each other by pressurizing the back surface of the D-sub connector with the hand of an operator.

If it is such a structure, when fitting the other party connector to the fitting part of a housing, it can suppress that a conductive member becomes obstructive. More specifically, since the conductive member extends from the housing in a direction crossing the fitting direction, it is possible to suppress covering the surface of the housing opposite to the surface on which the fitting portion is formed. Therefore, when the mating connector is pushed into the fitting portion, the surface of the housing opposite to the surface on which the fitting portion is formed can be easily pressed by the operator's hand or floor. As a result, it is easy to push the mating connector into the fitting portion.
- the thickness of the housing can be further reduced.

- the apparatus further includes a substrate accommodated in the housing, and the substrate electrically connects the plurality of contacts and the conductive member.
- the conductive member is not directly connected to the contact. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the layout of the conductive members can be further increased. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to more easily realize a configuration in which the conductive member extends from the housing in a direction intersecting the fitting direction.
- the conductive member includes a plurality of core wires to be electrically connected to the corresponding contacts, and the main surface of the substrate has a plurality of terminal portions on which the corresponding core wires are mounted. In each of the terminal portions, the core wire is arranged in parallel with the main surface.

More specifically, since the conductive member extends from the housing in a direction crossing the fitting direction, it is possible to suppress covering the surface of the housing opposite to the surface on which the fitting portion is formed. Therefore, when the mating connector is pushed into the fitting portion, the surface of the housing opposite to the surface on which the fitting portion is formed can be easily pressed by the operator's hand or floor. As a result, it is easy to push the mating connector into the fitting portion.
