Electric connector for flat type conductor

Abstract

A flat conductor-grade electric connector is disclosed, which is provided with: a housing body (10) of a guide space for guiding a flat conductor (P), and a pressing member (11) fixable on the housing body; one side of the housing body (10) is formed with an insertion hole (14) in which the flat conductor is inserted, the opposite other side is formed with a jointing part (13) for jointing with the connector of the other side, the insertion hole (14) is communicated with the jointing part (13), by utilizing the fixation of the pressing member (11) on the housing body (10), the pressing memberis provided with a pressing part that presses the flat conductor on a support surface, the upper edge of an opening circumference part of the insertion hole (14) at one side of the housing body (10) is more adjacent to the other side of the housing body than the lower edge and the side edge, and the pressing member (11) is provided with a protrusion part (27) which penetrates at a gap part P1 of the flat conductor P in a thickness direction of the flat conductor P when being fixed on the housing body (10). The invention can enable the flat conductor to reach a connection location easily, and even if the location is appreciably deviated, the flat conductor can still be corrected automatically and is easily inserted into the insertion hole of the housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector for flat conductors. Background technique [0002] Such electrical connectors include those disclosed in Japanese Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, for example. This connector is used after being fitted and connected to a counterpart connector mounted on a circuit board in a state where an FPC (flexible printed circuit) is connected. The connector of this Patent Document 1 has a front member and an inner member of an electrically insulating material that support each other in a relatively rotatable manner and are opened and closed. There are 2 pins. [0003] When connecting the FPC to the connector, first, the connector should be in an open state, and the above-mentioned disposition surface of the front side member should be opened, and the operator can make the hole of the FPC reachable above the disposition surface while visually estimating it. At the positions corresponding to the pi...

And once the pin disappears in the hole, it is extremely difficult to correct the FPC position

[0009] In the connector of Patent Document 2, one end surface of the housing is a flat surface, and it is not easy to insert a flat conductor into the slit-shaped inlet opening formed on the flat surface.

Flat conductors are usually extremely thin, so the entrance opening for inserting the conductor is also extremely narrow. At the same time, t
