1. A circuit-terminal connecting device for connecting electrically first circuit-terminals provided on a first circuit board with second circuit-terminals provided on a second circuit board, which comprises
a first electrical connector having a first housing attached to the first circuit board, a plurality of first contacts arranged on the first housing to be connected with the first circuit-terminals, and a first metallic member fixed to the first housing; a second electrical connector having a second housing attached to the second circuit board and operative to engage with the first housing, a plurality of second contacts arranged on the second housing to be connected with the second circuit-terminals for coming into press-contact with the first contacts when the second housing is put in engagement with the first housing, so that the second circuit-terminals are electrically connected with the first circuit-terminals through the first and second electrical connectors, and a second metallic member attached to the second housing; and a manipulatable member shaped into a bent rod and mounted on the second housing to be shiftable in its position for being in selectively a first position in which the manipulatable member lies down on the second housing and a second position in which the manipulatable member rises from the second housing, wherein each of end portions of the manipulatable member opposite to each other is formed into a movable locking portion operative to pass through the second metallic member to be supported by the second metallic member, wherein the first metallic member is provided thereon with a pair of fixed locking portions, wherein the manipulatable member is shifted under guidance with a cam portion provided in the second electrical connector to be resiliently deformed for causing the movable locking portions to engage respectively with the fixed locking portions so that the second housing is put in mechanical lock to the first housing when the second housing is put in engagement with the first housing and the manipulatable member is in the first position, and wherein the manipulatable member is resiliently restored from a state of deformation by means of moving the cam portion to an original state for causing the movable locking portions to disengage respectively from the fixed locking portions so that the second housing is released from the mechanical lock to the first housing when the second housing is put in the engagement with the first housing and the manipulatable member is in the second position. |
