Abstract: In a flat-conductor connector having an automatic lock mechanism for a flat conductor, a fitting connection operation of a flat conductor is enabled to be reliably performed again after the flat conductor is extracted. A flat-conductor connector 1 includes a lock member including a slip-off stop locking surface configured to pass through a flat conductor housed in a housing chamber of a housing in the thickness direction of the flat conductor and lock the flat conductor. The lock member includes a supporting portion configured to support the slip-off stop locking surface so as to be displaceable between a locking position at which the lock member is locked with and stops the flat conductor from slipping off and a lock cancellation position at which the lock member is unlocked from the flat conductor to cause the flat conductor to be extractable from the housing chamber.

Abstract: A housing included in a connector, the housing including a first housing formed of a molded body including first terminals, and a second housing formed of a molded body including second terminals. A bottom surface portion of the first housing including fixing holes, and a top surface portion of the second housing including projection portions. The housing being formed by fitting the fixing holes and the projection portions to each other.

Abstract: A linear conductor connection terminal that is fixed to a substrate and that comes in contact in a conductive manner with a linear conductor that is inserted in a hole portion provided in the substrate. The linear conductor connection terminal includes a contact portion that is positioned inside the hole portion and that comes in contact in the hole portion with the linear conductor in a conductive manner; an elastic piece that elastically supports the contact portion; a top surface portion provided so as to be spaced apart from the contact portion in an insertion direction of the linear conductor, the top surface portion including an insertion hole to introduce the linear conductor to the contact portion; and a first leg portion and a second leg portion that support the top surface portion that is spaced apart from the contact portion.

Abstract: An elastic piece of a terminal includes an end portion serving as a fulcrum on which a contact projection is displaced, and an internal contact portion that is urged on the end portion into pressing contact with an FPC of a lens to make conductive connection within a housing by displacement of the contact projection. Thus, when the contact projection is pressed by a lens connecting part of a camera body, the internal contact portion is brought into firm pressing contact with the FPC of the lens by the action of leverage, and reliable conductive contact is established between the contact projection and the internal contact portion.
