Abstract: A cable connector comprises: a first terminal; a second terminal; an insulator having an insertion groove into and from which a plate-shaped connection object is insertable and removable; and an actuator. The first terminal rotatably supports the actuator by an engaging portion that engages an engaged portion of the actuator. The second terminal includes: a first arm portion including a first contact portion configured to come into contact with one surface of the connection object by elastically deforming in a plate thickness direction of the connection object; and a second arm portion facing the first arm portion in the plate thickness direction, and including, at a tip thereof, a second contact portion configured to come into contact with an other surface of the connection object. The first contact portion is a part of an elastic piece that extends from an end of the first arm portion so as to be folded back, at the end, toward a side toward which the connection object is inserted.

Abstract: Provided is a connector having reduced height and area that facilitates the retention and removal of a connection object while preventing damages to itself during operation. According to the present disclosure, a connector (10) includes an insulator (20) having an accommodation section (22) for allowing insertion of a connection object (an FPC 60), an actuator (40) attached to the insulator (20), and a locking member (50) that supports the connection object (the FPC 60) accommodated in the accommodation section (22) in an insertion-removal direction. When the actuator (40) is pushed in along a direction substantially orthogonal to the insertion-removal direction, the locking member (50) is elastically deformed and releases the connection object (the FPC 60).

Abstract: A connector that, when changing an actuator from an open state to a closed state provides a sound that indicates the actuator has changed to a fully closed state. In one embodiment, the actuator has an open surface, a closed surface, a sloped connection surface, and a tip load transmission portion. The open surface enables insertion of a connection object into an insertion portion in an open state. The closed surface is approximately parallel to the connection object in a closed state. The sloped connection surface connects the open surface and the closed surface. The tip load transmission portion is located at an intersection of the closed surface and the sloped connection surface, and elastically contacts the connection object at a time at which a pressing load imparted by an elastic pressing portion is at a peak.
