  • Patent number: 10622763
    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).

  • Publication number: 20190044263
    Abstract: Provided is a connector capable of, when a closing operation of an actuator is mechanized, sufficiently applying rotational moment in a closing direction and preventing damage to the actuator. A connector (10) includes an insulator (30) into which a flat connection object is inserted, a contact group (40) that is supported by the insulator (30) and electrically connected to the connection object (20) inserted into the insulator (30), and an actuator (50) that is supported by the insulator (30) in an openable and closable manner, and also in a rotatable manner, and includes a connection object facing surface (52f) facing the flat connection object (20) in a closed state. The actuator (50) includes, on a surface opposite to the connection object facing surface (52f), a closing slope (52b) which reduces a distance to the connection object facing surface (52) as a distance from a rotation center of the actuator (50) increases.
