Connector device

Abstract

A connector device that includes an operation lever having both ends supported by a conductive shell covering an insulating housing partially for engagement with a mating connector device, wherein undesirable detachment of both ends on the operation lever from the conductive shell is prevented without fail. Both ends (22a, 22b) on an operation lever (16) have extended parts (23a / 23b) crookedly continuing to a main body part (21) and further continuing front edge parts (24a / 24b) respectively, extending in a first direction from the end to the center of an insulating housing (13). When the front edge parts are displaced in parallel in the direction orthogonal to the central axis direction of the extended parts to form step parts (25a / 25b) at the border between the extended parts, and are made to be displaced toward a second direction opposite to the first direction under a condition of being supported by support mechanisms (30a / 30b), latching parts (32a / 32b) provided on the support mechanisms at the step parts are engaged to prevent detachment from the support mechanisms.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector device. On the basis of connecting a cable or a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), for example, it is in a state of being fitted with a counterpart connector device mounted on a main substrate such as a rigid printed circuit board, and realizes a cable or a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). Electrical connection between FPC, etc., and the counterpart connector device. Background technique [0002] When a plurality of thinner cables or smaller FPCs are electrically connected to a main substrate such as a rigid printed circuit board on which various electrical components are mounted, the first connector device and the second connector device are often used. The connector device is a side connector device such as a cable connected to a plurality of cables or FPC, and the second connector device is used as a substrate-side connector device, mounted on the main substrate and electrically connected to the m...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when an external force that displaces both or one of the pair of end portions in a direction toward the outside of the insulating housing of the first connector acts on the lever provided on the insulating housing of the first connector, the It is possible for the end to undesirably come out of the first connector, rendering the lever useless

[0010] In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional connector device, a pair of rotating shaft parts constituted by a pair of end parts of the operating rod provided on the insulating case of the first connector are inserted and installed in a loosely fitted state in a freely rotatable manner, respectively. At both ends in the longitudinal direction of the insulating housing of the first connector, the main operating portion of the operating lever is close to a portion of the insulating housing of the second connector on the opposite side of the fitting recess, And when going over this part and engaging with the locking and locking part provided on the conductive housing of the second connector, the pair of rotating shaft parts formed by the pair of ends are respectively in a loose fit state with the pair of rotating shaft parts. A gap is formed between the insulating housings of the inserted first connector, and thus, a gap is formed between the main operating part of the operating lever and the second connector, causing "wobbling" of the operating lever and abnormal noise. bad situation
