Connector which is reduced in possibility of damage due to warping of a connection object without decreasing the insertability of the connection object

摘要

A connector is for connection to a plate-like connection object. The connector includes contacts, a housing holding the contacts, and an operating member for connecting the connection object to the contacts. The operating member has a pair of rotating shaft portions spaced apart from each other in a right-left direction and is rotatably supported by the housing so as to be displaceable between an initial position and a connecting position. The housing has a receiving portion which is open upward. The receiving portion is adapted to receive, from obliquely front, insertion of the connection object and to receive the operating member when the operating member is in the connecting position. The housing further has protruding portions in the rear part of the receiving portion for preventing upward warping of the connection object. The protruding portions are located between the pair of rotating shaft portions.

主权项

1. A connector for connection to a plate-like connection object, comprising:
contacts; a housing holding the contacts; and an operating member for connecting the connection object to the contacts, wherein the operating member has a pair of rotating shaft portions spaced apart from each other in a right-left direction and is rotatably supported by the housing so as to be displaceable between an initial position and a connecting position, wherein the housing has an upper wall and a receiving portion which is open upward in front of the upper wall, wherein the receiving portion is adapted to receive, from its front, insertion of the connection object and to receive the operating member when the operating member is in the connecting position, wherein the receiving portion has a particular wall defining a pair of insertion guides which is located between the rotating shaft portions for guiding the insertion of the connection object, wherein the housing further has at least one protruding portion in a rear part of the receiving portion, and wherein the protruding portion is located between the insertion guides and joined to both of the upper wall and the particular wall.
