Abstract: In a connector including: a plurality of contacts each making connection by sandwiching a connecting member; and a housing in which the contacts are to be accommodated, the housing includes a housing body in which the contacts are to be accommodated, and an operating portion that moves the contacts such that the contacts perform sandwiching, and, in a case where the contacts sandwich the connecting member, a portion in which the housing body and the operating portion are connected together is cut off when the operating portion is operated.

Abstract: A sliding member is disposed on one wing of the concave portion to advance and retreat in directions parallel to insertion and ejection of a card, and formed a heart-shaped cam groove. The base-end side of the leaf spring is fastened to the sliding member; the other end projects toward the opening of the concave portion. A compressed-coil spring applies a biasing force on the sliding member in a direction of card ejection. One end of the guide rod is coupled to the heart-shaped cam groove; the other end is pivotably supported on the housing. The sliding member has an engaging piece that touches an oblique side formed on a side surface of the card, and the leaf spring has a semi-circular claw that moves in and out of a surface of the card at a substantially square concave portion, thereby resiliently engaging the concave portion.

Abstract: An FPC is electrically connected to a printed wiring board. The FPC includes an elongated substrate and a conductor part laminated on the face of the substrate. The conductor part includes a plurality of conductors extending along the axial direction of the substrate, and elastically deformable first contact terminals each of which extends from the face of the conductors toward the base end of the FPC. The printed wiring board includes an insertion opening formed at the edge surface thereof, and plural line connecting terminals which are formed on the internal wall surface of the insertion opening, and which extend in the inserting direction for inserting the FPC.
