Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, in order to make the wall thickness of the FPC socket about 0.6 to 0.35mm, even if the base insulator is molded and manufactured using hard plastic, there is a problem that when the FPC is inserted into the FPC socket of the connector, Cracks (cracks) are prone to occur in the base insulator

Abstract

PURPOSE: A connector is provided to securely fix a socket housing to a print board and prevent the generation of crack at a terminal inlet of a FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit) connector in a socket housing even when a conductive part of the FPC is inserted into the terminal inlet tilted to one side. CONSTITUTION: A connector(1) is attached onto a print board(4) and connected to a FPC(2). The FPC includes a flexible insulator and a conductive wire set inside the insulator. The conductive wire has a conductive part(2A) exposed from the front end of the insulator. The connector includes an insulating socket housing(3), spring contacts(52), and a pair of control pieces(6,7). The socket housing has a terminal inlet(30) through which the FPC is inserted and is attached to the print board. The spring contacts are arranged in the socket housing. A portion of the socket housing, which defines the corner of the terminal inlet has a predetermined thickness in the FPC inserting direction. The pair of control pieces are respectively placed at both sides of the terminal inlet. Each of the spring contacts has two elastic holding portions extended toward the terminal inlet. Each control piece includes a buried member(61) attached to the print board and an upper control member(62) extended from the front end of the buried member in parallel with the print board. The FPC is inserted into the space between the elastic holding portions through the terminal inlet such that the conductive part of the FPC is held by the elastic holding portions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector mounted on a printed circuit board and connected to an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit). Background technique [0002] In recent years, miniaturization of products is accelerating in the fields of electronic appliances such as mobile phones and digital cameras. Electronic components and printed boards are mounted in such electronic machines. In order to connect these electronic components and printed circuit boards, a flat, flexible FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit, flexible printed circuit) and a connector for the FPC are often used. Therefore, the connector for this FPC is required to be miniaturized, including reducing the mounting height (low profile). [0003] In order to solve this problem, there is a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force, zero insertion force) type connector that can insert and remove the FPC with almost no force. Adoption of this ZIF type connector can prevent opening or bending of the cover while...
