Connector

A connector for electrically connecting a module substrate and a main substrate, the module substrate comprising a plurality of electrodes arrayed lengthwise and breadthwise on one surface of the module substrate, the connector comprising:

• a flattened housing being mounted on the main substrate;
• a plurality of contacts being arrayed and held on the flattened housing so as to correspond to the electrodes of the module substrate, the contacts comprising contact parts protruding from an opposing surface of a main substrate mount surface of the flattened housing and connection parts being connected to the electrodes of the main substrate;
• a frame comprising a flat board part fixed to a board surface of the main substrate, the pair of side board parts standing from the flat board part, one of a cam groove and a projection constituting a cam mechanism being formed on the pair of side board parts;
• a slider comprising a tabular shape, the other of the cam groove and the projection constituting the cam mechanism being formed at a pair of opposite side portions of the slider, the slider being attached between the pair of side board parts while the projection is inserted into the cam groove;
• and
• a plate comprising a tabular shape, the plate including protrusion parts at four corner parts, the two protrusion parts positioned forward being positioned on cutouts formed at front ends of the pair of side board parts, the two protrusion parts positioned rearward being positioned on support parts formed so as to protrude rearward at rear ends of the pair of opposite side portions of the slider and being contained between the pair of side board parts, the plate forming an insertion space for the module substrate between the plate and the flattened housing mounted on the main substrate, wherein
• the slider has a structure in which when the slider slides in the same direction as a direction of insertion of the module substrate into the insertion space, the slider shifts by the cam mechanism and presses the module substrate against the contact parts through the plate.
