Connector

Abstract

A first contact and a second contact are inserted into one and the same inserting hole of a housing so that contact portions of the first and second contacts are facing to each other. The first contacts each include the contact portion at one end and a connection portion at the other end. The second contacts each includes a first piece having the contact portion at one end and a pressure receiving portion at the other end, a second piece having connection portion at an outer end, and an elastic jointing-portion for jointing the first piece and the remaining end of the second piece. A pivoting member includes an actuating portion, pushing portions, and anchoring holes. The pushing portions are pivotally moved between the pressure receiving portions and the connection portions of the second contacts, during which pivotal movement, the axis of rotation of the pushing portions is moved with their pivotal movement to achieve their compact rotation. The second contacts are each provided on the second piece with a fixing portion in the proximity of the elastic jointing-portion. The connector constructed as above described prevents the contacts from being warped or deformed when the pivoting member is being pivotally moved, and achieves a stable electrical connection, a reduced overall height of the connector and a high density of the conductors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector for electric and electronic equipment such as a mobile or portable phone, a notebook personal computer, a digital camera, etc., and more particularly to a connector having a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible flat cable After the pivoting element has been inserted, the structure that enables the contacts to ensure a stable electrical connection without bending or deforming when pivoting, thereby ensuring sufficient holding force for the flexible printed circuit board, and achieving a reduction in the overall height of the connector Small and high density of conductors. Background technique [0002] A connector generally includes at least a plurality of contacts, a housing for arranging and holding the contacts, and a pivot member mounted on the housing and pivotally moved so that the contacts are elastically deformed to come into contact with a connection object. Each contact includes a contact po...
