Abstract
An electrical connector includes a plurality of conductive terminals, an insulating housing that holds the plurality of conductive terminals and that has an accommodating portion to accommodate a flexible printed circuit provided with a plurality of connection terminal portions electrically connected to the plurality of conductive terminals. A metallic reinforcing portion is located in an upper wall portion of a main body portion of the housing that partitions the accommodating portion.
Claims20
An electrical connector comprising:
- one or more contacts;
- an insulating housing holding the one or more contacts and including an accommodating portion to accommodate a plate-shaped connection object provided with one or more connection terminal portions configured to be electrically connected to the one or more contacts;
- and
- a metallic reinforcing portion located in an upper wall portion of the housing that partitions the accommodating portion, wherein the reinforcing portion is located on a surface of the housing where an opening of the accommodating portion is formed, wherein the reinforcing portion is located in two end portions of the surface of the housing in a width direction, the width direction being an extension direction of the upper wall portion, and wherein the reinforcing portion includes a pair of first reinforcing members located in the two end portions of the surface of the housing and a second reinforcing member extending in the width direction so as to interconnect the pair of first reinforcing members.
