CONNECTOR
This invention relates to a connector including: a flexible flat circuit body such as a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible flat cable; and a housing for holding the flat circuit body.

Figs. 13A and 13B are explanatory views for a mating connector to be connected to the connector shown in Figs.12A and 12B, Fig. 13A is a plan view, and Fig. 13B is a side view. Figs. 14A and 14B are explanatory views for explaining a condition that the connector shown in Fig. 12 is to be fitted to the mating connector, Fig. 14A shows an intermediate way of fitting, and Fig. 14B shows a fitting condition.
As shown in Figs. 12A and 12B, a connector 201 includes: a flexible printed circuit board 206; and a housing 210 holding the flexible printed circuit board 206.
The above flexible printed circuit board 206 is a well-known flexible printed circuit board made by forming foil-shaped conductors 261 on a base film 260 as an insulator, and by sticking a cover lay 262 as an insulator thereon. Further, an end of the flexible printed circuit board 206 is a portion to be electrically connected to a mating connector 202 so that the conductors 261 are exposed without being covered by the cover lay 262.
The housing 210 includes: a mounting plate 204 provided with a plate portion 240 for fixing the flexible printed circuit board 206 to its surface, and a locking arm 246 for locking with a locking projection 284 of the mating connector 202; and a holder 205 for holding the flexible printed circuit board 206 with the plate portion 240.
As shown in Figs. 13A and 13B, the mating connector 202 includes: a female terminal 207 to be electrically connected to the conductor 261 of the flexible printed circuit board 206; and a housing 208 receiving the female terminal 207. The female terminal 207 includes: a substantially U-shaped FPC connecting portion 270; and a board connecting portion 272 to be electrically connected to a not-shown printed circuit board. The housing 208 includes: a housing main body 280 inside which the FPC connecting portion 270 is positioned; and the locking projection 284 provided on an outer surface of the housing main body 280.
Next, a condition when the connector 201 is fitted to the mating connector 202 will be explained. As shown in Fig. 14A, the connector 201 is moved close to the mating connector 202 along a longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board 206. Then, the plate portion 240 and an end of the flexible printed circuit board 206 are inserted into an inside of the FPC connecting portion 270, and pushed to a rear side. Thereby, as shown in Fig. 14B, the connector 201 is fitted to the mating connector 202. Further, from an initial fitting step to a final fitting step, the conductor 261 is slidably abutted on the FPC connecting portion 270 with a constant contact load.
In the connector 201, because the contact load between the conductor 261 of the flexible printed circuit board 206 and the FPC connecting portion 270 of the female terminal 207 is constant from the initial fitting step to the final fitting step, there is following problems. Namely, when the contact load is low, there is a problem that a contact resistance generated on a contact surface between the conductor 261 and the FPC connecting portion 270 may be increased. Further, when the contact load is high, when the conductor 261 is slidably abutted on the FPC connecting portion 270, an abrasion may be generated at both sides.
Further, PTL 1 discloses a connector able to solve the above problems. Namely, PTL 1 discloses a connector including: a housing into which one end of a flexible printed circuit board is inserted; a contact received in the housing for clamping the one end of the flexible printed circuit board; and an actuator for switching the contact between an open state and a clamping state. In this connector, after the one end of the flexible printed circuit board is inserted into an inside of the contact, the actuator is rotated. Thereby, the contact is changed to the clamping state, and the conductor of the flexible printed circuit board and the contact are electrically connected to each other.

However, in the connector disclosed in PTL 1, although the above described contact resistance increasing problem due to lack of the contact load and the abrasion problem are solved, there are other problems shown below. Namely, in the connector 201 shown in Figs. 14A and 14B, when the connector 201 is fitted to the mating connector 202, the conductor 261 of the flexible printed circuit board 206 is slidably abutted on the FPC connecting portion 270 of the female terminal 207. In contrast, in the connector disclosed in PTL 1, the conductor of the flexible printed circuit board is not slidably abutted on the contact. Therefore, when a foreign particle adheres to the flexible printed circuit board or the contact, there is a problem that the flexible printed circuit board is clamped by the contact without removing the foreign particle. Incidentally, the foreign particle is not preferable because it increases the contact resistance between the flexible printed circuit board and the contact. Further, in the connector disclosed in PTL 1, there is a problem that the connector becomes large-sized and heavy-weighted by providing the actuator. Further, there is also a problem that it is difficult to operate the actuator in a narrow space.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector having good abrasive resistance and able to reduce contact resistivity.
For attaining the object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a connector including:
a flexible flat circuit body; and
a housing for holding the flexible flat circuit body,
wherein the housing includes: a mounting plate for fixing the flexible flat circuit body to a surface of the mounting plate; and a sliding member overlapped with the mounting plate in an opposite side of the flexible flat circuit body, and slidably provided on the mounting plate, and
wherein when the connector is fitted to a mating connector, after one ends of the mounting plate and the flexible flat circuit body are inserted into a female terminal of the mating connector and positioned at a most rear position in the female terminal, one end of the sliding member is pushed into the female terminal to electrically connect a conductor of the flexible flat circuit body with the female terminal.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the connector as described in the first aspect,
wherein the housing further includes: a holder for holding the mounting board and the flat circuit body with the sliding member, and
wherein a fixing member for fixing the sliding member and the holder is provided on the connector.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the connector as described in the first or second aspect,
wherein a taper is provided on the one end of the sliding member.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the connector as described in any one of the first to third aspects,
wherein the connector is provided with a locking member for locking the mounting plate and the sliding member when one end of the mounting plate is positioned nearer a mating connector side than the one end of the sliding member.
According to the invention as described in the first aspect, the housing includes: a mounting plate for fixing the flat circuit body to a surface of the mounting plate; and a sliding member overlapped with the mounting plate in an opposite side of the flat circuit body, and slidably provided on the mounting plate, and when the connector is fitted to a mating connector, after one ends of the mounting plate and the flat circuit body are inserted into a female terminal of the mating connector and positioned at a most rear position in the female terminal, one end of the sliding member is pushed into the female terminal to electrically connect a conductor of the flat circuit body with the female terminal. Therefore, the one end of the flat circuit body is slidably abutted on the female terminal with low contact load until the one ends of the mounting plate and the flat circuit body are positioned at the most rear position in the female terminal. Then, when the one end of the sliding member is pushed into the female terminal, the contact load between the conductor of the flat circuit body and the female terminal is increased. Therefore, the foreign particle adhering to the conductor of the flat circuit body or the female terminal of the mating connector can be removed. Further, the abrasion of the conductor and the female terminal can be prevented. In the final fitting step, the contact load between the conductor and the female terminal can be secured sufficiently. Accordingly, a connector having good abrasive resistance and able to reduce contact resistivity can be provided.
According to the invention as described in the second aspect, the housing further includes: a holder for holding the mounting board and the flat circuit body with the sliding member, and further, a fixing member for fixing the sliding member and the holder is provided on the connector. Therefore, the flat circuit body is surely prevented from falling out of the mounting plate, and a connector able to be easily assembled can be provided.
According to the invention as described in the third aspect, a taper is provided on the one end of the sliding member. Therefore, a connector allowing one end of the sliding member to be pushed into the female terminal with low insertion force can be provided.
According to the invention as described in the fourth aspect, the connector is provided with a locking member for locking the mounting plate and the sliding member when one end of the mounting plate is positioned nearer a mating connector side than the one end of the sliding member. Therefore, while one ends of the mounting plate and the flat circuit body are positioned at a most rear position in the female terminal of the mating connector, when the sliding member is further pressed toward the mating connector side, a lock between the mounting plate and the sliding member is released, and the one end of the sliding member is successively pushed into the female terminal. Therefore, a connector allowing a successive fitting operation to the mating connector to be done in one action can be provided.

The housing main body 80 is composed of a tubular peripheral wall 81 and a rear wall 82. Further, the rear wall 82 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 83 for positioning a rear end of the FPC connecting portion 70 and for guiding the second connecting portion 72 out of the housing main body 80. Further, one end of the flexible printed circuit board 6 is inserted into the housing main body 80 from an opening opposite to the rear wall 82 to an inside of the FPC connecting portion 70.
The housing 10 includes: the mounting plate 3 for fixing the flexible printed circuit board 6 to a surface thereof; a sliding member 4 overlapped with the mounting plate 3 at an opposite side to the flexible printed circuit board 6, and slidably provided on the mounting plate 3; and a holder 5 for holding the mounting plate 3 and the flexible printed circuit board 6 with the sliding member 4.
As shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, the mounting plate 3 is made of insulating synthetic resin, and composed of a flat-shaped plate portion 30, a vertical extending portion 31 extending vertically from one end of the plate portion 30, a pair of cylinder portions 32 extending vertically from the other end side of the plate portion 30, and locking projections 33 provided on both sidewalls of the plate portion 30. Further, when the flexible printed circuit board 6 is overlapped with the plate portion 30, and the cylinder portions 32 are inserted into the through-holes 63, the flexible printed circuit board 6 is fixed to the mounting plate 3. Further, the flexible printed circuit board 6 is fixed to the mounting plate 3 in a direction that the base film 60 is abutted on the plate portion 30. Further, in this condition, the vertical extending portion 31 is extended along one end of the flexible printed circuit board 6 (see Figs. 10A and 10B). One end of the plate portion 30 and the vertical extending portion 31 together with the one end of the flexible printed circuit board 6 are inserted into the FPC connecting portion 70 of the mating connector 2 (see Figs. 2 and 3). Further, the locking projections 33 are locked with the sliding member 4.
As shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, the sliding member 4 is made of insulating synthetic resin, and composed of a second plate portion 40 overlapped with the plate portion 30 of the mounting plate 3, a second vertically extending portion 41 vertically extending from the other end of the second plate portion 40, a pair of sidewalls 42 vertically extending from both sides of the second plate portion 40 and positioning the plate portion 30 and the flexible printed circuit board 6 therebetween, convex portions 43 provided on outer surfaces of both sidewalls 42 and engaged with the holder 5, lock receiving portions 44 provided on inner surfaces of both sidewalls 42, and a locking arm 46 continued to an outer surface of the second plate portion 40.
One end 45 of the second plate portion 40 is positioned on one end side of the plate portion 30, and the other end of the second plate portion 40 is positioned on the other end side of the plate portion 30. Further, the one end 45 of the second plate portion 40 is inserted into the FPC connecting portion 70 of the mating connector 2 (see Fig. 3), and formed thinner than the other end of the second plate portion 40. Further, the one end 45 of the second plate portion 40 is provided with a taper 45a for reducing insertion force upon inserting into the FPC connecting portion 70.
As shown in Fig. 9B, each lock receiving portion 44 is composed of a first projection 44a and a second projection 44b for positioning the locking projections 33 therebetween. When the locking projections 33 is positioned between the first and second projections 44a, 44b, the mounting plate 3 and the sliding member 4 are locked with each other, and a condition that the one end of the mounting plate 3 is nearer the mating connector 2 than the one end of the sliding member 4 is maintained. Further, as shown in Fig. 2, while the vertical extending portion 31 of the mounting plate 3 is abutted on the rear wall 82 of the mating connector 2, by pressing the sliding member 4 toward the mating connector 2, the lock between the mounting plate 3 and the sliding member 4 is released, namely, the locking projections 33 is released from between the first and second projections 44a, 44b toward the second vertically extending portion 41. Thereby, the one end 45 of the second plate portion 40 can be successively pushed into the FPC connecting portion 70.
Thus, the connector 1 is provided with a locking member 12 for locking the mounting plate 3 and the sliding member 4 with each other when the one end of the mounting plate 3 is positioned nearer the mating connector 2 than the one end of the sliding member 4, namely, the one end of the plate portion 30 is positioned nearer the mating connector 2 than the one end 45 of the second plate portion 40. This locking member 12 is composed of the locking projections 33 and the lock receiving portions 44.
The locking arm 46 is composed of an arm portion 46a extending parallel to the second plate portion 40 with a gap, a locking hole 46c provided on the arm portion 46a, and a coupling portion 46b coupling the arm portion 46a with the second plate portion 40. As shown in Fig. 3, this locking arm 46 maintains a fitting condition between the connector 1 and the mating connector 2 when the locking projection 84 of the mating connector 2 is positioned in an onside of the locking hole 46c.
As shown in Figs. 7A and 7B, the holder 5 is made of insulating synthetic resin, and composed of a third plate portion 50 overlapped with the cover lay 62 side of the flexible printed circuit board 6, and a pair of side plates 51 vertically extending from both sides of the third plate portion 50 and positioning the pair of sidewalls 42 of the sliding member 4 therebetween. A pair of long holes 52 for positioning movably a pair of cylinder portions 32 of the mounting plate 3 is formed penetrating the third plate portion 50. Further, as shown in Figs. 11A and 11B, the third plate portion 50 is formed in a size not to cover one end of the flexible printed circuit board 6, namely, a portion where the conductor 61 is exposed. An engaging hole 53 for engaging with the convex portion 43 of the sliding member 4 is formed penetrating each side plate 51. This holder 5 is fixed to the sliding member 4 when the engaging hole 53 is engaged with the convex portion 43.
Thus, the connector 1 is provided with a fixing member 11 for fixing the sliding member 4 and the holder 5 to each other. This fixing member 11 is composed of the convex portion 43 and the engaging hole 53. Further, because the connector 1 of the present invention includes: the holder 5; and the fixing member 11, the flexible printed circuit board 6 is surely prevented from falling out of the mounting plate 3, and the connector 1 is easily assembled. Further, according to the present invention, the flexible printed circuit board 6 may be fixed to the mounting plate 3 by adhering to the mounting plate 3 without using the holder 5.
Next, an assembling procedure of the connector 1 having the above described configuration will be explained. First, as shown in Figs. 9A and 9B, the second plate portion 40 of the sliding member 4 and the plate portion 30 of the mounting plate 3 are overlapped with each other, and the locking projection 33 is positioned in between the first and second projections 44a, 44b. While the one end of the mounting plate 3 is positioned nearer the mating connector 2 than the one end of the sliding member 4, the mounting plate 3 and the sliding member 4 are locked with each other. Next, as shown in Figs. 10A and 10B, the one end of the flexible printed circuit board 6 is overlapped with the plate portion 30 in a direction that the base film 60 is abutted on the plate portion 30, and the cylinder portion 32 is inserted into the through-hole 63, thereby the flexible printed circuit board 6 is fixed to the mounting plate 3. Then, as shown in Figs. 11A and 11B, the pair of cylinder portions 32 is positioned in the pair of long holes 52, and the holder 5 is fixed to the sliding member 4, thereby the mounting plate 3 and the flexible printed circuit board 6 are held between the sliding member 4 and the holder 5. Thus, the connector 1 is assembled.
Next, a condition that the connector 1 is fitted to the mating connector 2 will be explained. As shown in Fig. 1, the connector 1 is moved close to the mating connector 2 along a longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board 6. As shown in Fig. 2, first, the one ends of the mounting plate 3 and the flexible printed circuit board 6 are inserted into the female terminal 7 of the mating connector 2. At this time, the conductor 61 of the flexible printed circuit board 6 is slidably abutted on the contact portion 71 of the female terminal 7 with a low contact load.
Then, when the one ends of the mounting plate 3 and the flexible printed circuit board 6 are positioned at a most rear position in the female terminal 7, the vertical extending portion 31 of the mounting plate 3 knocks against the rear wall 82 of the mating connector 2. In this condition, when the sliding member 4 is further pressed toward the mating connector 2, the lock between the mounting plate 3 and the sliding member 4 is released, and the sliding member 4 becomes slidable with respect to the mounting plate 3.
Then, as shown in Fig. 3, when the sliding member 4 is further pressed toward the mating connector 2, the one end of the sliding member 4, namely, the one end 45 of the second plate portion 40 is pushed into the female terminal 7. Thereby, the contact load between the conductor 61 of the flexible printed circuit board 6 and the contact portion 71 of the female terminal 7 is increased, and the conductor 61 and the contact portion 71 are surely electrically connected to each other. Finally, the locking arm 46 is locked with the locking projection 84, and the connector 1 is fully fitted to the mating connector 2.
Thus, the connector 1 of the present invention can be fitted to the mating connector 2 by only an action to press the sliding member 4 toward the mating connector 2 along the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed circuit board 6. Namely, the connector 1 of the present invention can done a successive fitting operation to the mating connector 2 in one action.
Further, when the connector 1 of the present invention is fitted to the mating connector 2, the conductor 61 of the flexible printed circuit board 6 is slidably abutted on the contact portion 71 of the female terminal 7 with a low contact load. Therefore, the abrasion of the conductor 61 and the contact portion 71 is prevented, and a foreign particle adhering to the conductor 61 or the contact portion 71 can be removed. Incidentally, the foreign particle is an oxide layer, dust, rust, or the like. Thus, contact resistivity between the conductor 61 and the contact portion 71 can be reduced. Further, the conductor 61 and the contact portion 71 are finally electrically connected to each other with high contact load by the second plate portion 40 afterward inserted into the FPC connecting portion 70. Therefore, the contact resistivity can be reduced.
Further, in the above embodiment, the flexible printed circuit board 6 is used as the flexible flat circuit body. However, according to the present invention, a flexible flat cable can be also used instead of the flexible printed circuit board 6. Namely, the flexible flat circuit body in the present invention means a flexible thin flat circuit body such as a flexible printed circuit board or a flexible flat cable.
Incidentally, the above embodiment only shows a representative example of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment. Namely, various modifications can be practiced within a scope of the present invention.
