Board insertion device

A board insertion device which inserts a board into a connector,

• the board having a first end surface on which a terminal is provided, and a second end surface opposite to the first end surface, and
• the connector having an insertion groove into which the board is inserted and an ejector capable of switching between an open position at which insertion of the board into the insertion groove is allowed and a closed position at which the insertion of the board into the insertion groove is prohibited,
• the board insertion device comprising:
• a holder configured to hold the board in a state where the first end surface is exposed;
• an insertion guider which is slidably provided in the holder in an insertion direction of the board into the connector and which includes a distal end portion configured to protrude in the insertion direction from the first end surface of the board to be held in the holder and configured to abut against the connector during insertion of the board into the connector;
• an abutting portion configured to abut against the ejector during the insertion of the board into the connector;
• and
• a conversion mechanism configured to convert a change of a relative position between the holder and the insertion guider into a movement of the abutting portion for changing a position of the ejector from the closed position to the open position, and
• wherein the conversion mechanism is provided at the insertion guider and engaged with the holder or is provided at the holder and engaged with the insertion guider.
