The cover member includes a release operation portion configured to receive an external force to rotate the cover member around the rotation axis, and a restricting member to switch, in response to the rotation of the cover member, between a first state in which removal of the connection target from the accommodation space is restricted and a second state in which the connection target is released.

The cover member comprises a shaft hole along the rotation axis. The main body includes a side face which intersects the rotation axis at an intersection, an auxiliary wall portion which faces the side face, an opening portion formed at the intersection of the rotation axis and the side face, and a rotation shaft. The rotation shaft extends from the wall portion protruding along the rotation axis toward the side face from the auxiliary wall portion and inserted into the opening portion via the shaft hole.

Abstract: Plural contacts include other ends on which first substrate connections that are connected to the signal electrodes of a substrate are formed. A shell includes an upper plate that covers the whole of the plural contacts on the substrate. Side plates block both ends of the first substrate connections in an array direction (x-axis direction) between the upper plate and the substrate and include edges which face the substrate and on which second substrate connections connected to the ground electrode of the substrate are formed. A back plate blocks the fronts of the first substrate connections with respect to contactors between the upper plate and the substrate and includes an edge which faces the substrate and on which third substrate connections connected to the ground electrode of the substrate are formed.

Abstract: A shell member that is ground-connected to a connected object is constituted by a first shell that faces the connected object and entirely covers a contact member and a second shell that faces the first shell in a part between a connecting object and the connected object. Each of the first and second shells is provided with ground contact points with a ground conducting path of the connecting object and a ground conducting path of the connected object, with a signal transmission path sandwiched between ground paths by the first and second shells and configured to achieve satisfactory electromagnetic shielding of the signal transmission path.

Abstract: For easy removal of a flat-plate-shaped signal transmission medium while reduction in height and size is achieved with a simple structure, a structure is adopted for an electric connector as follows. That is, a release operating part of a lock releasing member which causes a lock member in an engaged state to make a transition to a released state is arranged along an insertion opening. The release operating part and a release acting part are arranged in opposite regions in a radius direction of rotation of a support shaft part. The release operating part can make reciprocating rotations between an initial position away from the insertion opening and an acting position close to the insertion opening. Thus, when a flat-plate-shaped signal transmission medium is removed, the flat-plate-shaped signal transmission medium can be held while the engaged state of the lock member with respect to the flat-plate-shaped signal transmission medium is released by one hand of an operator.

Abstract: An engagement amount of a latch lock part with respect to a signal transmission medium is sufficiently and constantly ensured by a simple configuration. A reference abutting surface having a stepped shape projecting toward an upper surface of the signal transmission medium compared with other part of an inner wall surface of a medium insertion path is formed at part of the inner wall surface of the medium insertion path facing the upper surface of the signal transmission medium, the upper surface of the signal transmission medium is caused to abut at least the reference abutting surface of the medium insertion path, and the position of the upper surface of the signal transmission medium is determined in the thickness direction while using the reference abutting surface as a reference.

Abstract: To prevent, with a simple structure, deformation such as a twist of an actuator at the time of moving operation and easily check the operation state of an actuator to easily and reliably establish an electrical connection, inclined surface parts are provided at both end portions in a longitudinal direction in end faces on a rotational radial outer side of the actuator pinching or freeing a signal transmission medium to approximately uniformly act an entire pressing force of an operator over a full length of the actuator. With this, a situation that the actuator is pressed as being twisted is eliminated to achieve an excellent action of pinching the signal transmission medium and an easy and reliable visual check of the state of rotation of the actuator.
