Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure de verrouillage de connecteur qui est disposée à l'intérieur d'une ouverture traversant un boîtier qui reçoit un appareil électronique, la structure de verrouillage de connecteur ayant : un premier connecteur qui a une première électrode conductrice connectée à l'appareil électronique et une première partie de connexion ; et un second connecteur qui est relié au premier connecteur et qui a une seconde partie de connexion reliée de façon détachable à la première partie de connexion en se déplaçant dans une direction croisant la surface ouverte de l'ouverture, la première partie de connexion du premier connecteur étant disposée au niveau d'une position chevauchant la trajectoire de déplacement de la seconde partie de connexion du second connecteur dans une vue en plan, le second connecteur comporte un corps de couvercle disposé à l'intérieur de l'ouverture dans un état connecté au premier connecteur, et le corps de couvercle comprend une seconde partie de connexion disposée au niveau d'une position ne chevauchant pas la première partie de connexion lorsqu'elle est vue dans la direction croisant la surface ouverte et un élément élastique qui sollicite, par déformation élastique, la seconde partie de connexion au niveau d'une position chevauchant la première partie de connexion.
