CONNECTOR AND SWITCH

摘要

Provided is a connector comprising a connection terminal that is connected to the connection terminal of another connector, a fixed contact, a movable contact provided on one end part of a movable plate part, a card that is formed from an insulator and is in contact with the movable plate part, a button in contact with the card, an open spring connected to the button, and a slide operating part for controlling the contact of the fixed contact and movable contact. Either the fixed contact or the movable contact is connected to the connection terminal, and by moving the slide operating part in one direction, the button is pushed down and the movable plate part moves via the card, creating an on state by the fixed contact and movable contact coming into contact. The restorative force of the open spring operates, from the on state, in the direction that separates the contact of the fixed contact and movable contact. By moving the slide operating part in another direction, which is opposite to the one direction, the contact between the fixed contact and movable contact is separated by the restorative force of the open spring, creating an off state.
