Board-to-board connector with sliding lock

Abstract

Provided is a connector comprising: a connector body; a terminal attached to the connector body; and a slider attached to the connector body, wherein the connector body includes mating-guide parts formed on two ends, in the longitudinal direction, of the connector body; the mating guide parts mate with counterpart mating-guide parts formed on the two ends, in the longitudinal direction, of a counterpart connector body of a counterpart connector; the slider includes a front-side locking part and a rear-side locking part, and is slidable, in the longitudinal direction of the connector body, between a locked position and an unlocked position; and once the connector body mates with the counterpart connector body, and the slider slides and thus reaches the locked position, the front-side locking part and the rear-side locking part engage with a right-and-left pair of to-be-locked parts of the counterpart locking member attached to each of the counterpart mating-guide part.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
