connector device

Abstract

An electrical connector including a housing (11), a plurality of conductive contacts (16; 17) arranged on the housing (11), an actuator (25) provided to be rotatable for taking up first and second stations selectively and operative to cause each of the conductive contacts (16; 17) to come into press-contact with one of connecting terminals (18; 19) on a flat circuit device (15) inserted into the housing (11) with shifting from the first station to the second station and to release each of the conductive contacts (16; 17) from the press-contact with the connecting terminal (18; 19) with shifting from the second station to the first station, and an engaging member (30; 31) for engaging with the actuator (25) to hold the same so that the actuator (25) is prevented from being removed from the housing (11) and for engaging with the flat circuit device (15) inserted into the housing (11) to hold the same so that the flat circuit device (15) is prevented from getting out of the housing (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention described in the claims of this application relates to a connector device including a contactor for making the contact terminal portion provided on a wiring board-shaped member such as a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) or a flat cable (FFC) It is in a state of being electrically connected to a wiring board made of a solid printed wiring board or the like, and on the premise of being connected to the wiring board, it is in press contact with the contact terminal portion of the wiring board-shaped member. Background technique [0002] Connectors that are electrically connected to and fixed to wiring boards mounted with various electrical components are often used to assemble wiring board-shaped members such as relatively small flexible printed wiring boards and flat cables mounted on various electronic devices to wiring boards. device to proceed. The connector device used in the assembly of such a wiring board-shaped member to a wirin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In particular, from the perspective of the shape of the interlocking portion formed on the actuator, on the premise that the actuator adopts a position standing up from the housing, the interhanging portion formed on the first contactor is opposite to that formed on the actuator. The inter-hook of the inter-hook part is easy to disengage

[0018] As a result, in the conventional connector device in which the contactor is formed with an interlocking portion for locking the actuator, it is not possible to properly and stably obtain the actuator that is rotatable relative to the housing. When the actuator is applied to rotate, etc., the actuator will not have the effect of undesired detachment from the housing.
