Abstract
In a connector with substrate, a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached via a cage. The connector with substrate includes a substrate; a cage fixed on the substrate; and a compression connector inserted into the cage and including contacts that are in contact with the substrate, a housing to which the contacts are fixed, and a cover shell that covers an upper surface portion of the housing. The cage or the compression connector includes an elastic body that applies an elastic force for fixing the compression connector to the cage.

A connector with substrate in which a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached via a cage, the connector with substrate comprising:
- a substrate including
- an opening section;
- a cage fixed on the substrate and including
- a projecting section extending toward a connector insertion side of the cage,
- an erected section formed at an end of the projecting section on the connector insertion side and having a L shape, and
- a spring piece formed at an upper end of the erected section as an elastic body and obliquely extending relative to an upper surface of the substrate;
- and
- a compression connector inserted into the cage from the connector insertion side of the cage and including
- contacts that are in contact with the substrate,
- a housing to which the contacts are fixed, and
- a cover shell that covers an upper surface portion of the housing, wherein
- when an external force is applied to the spring piece to insert the compression connector into cage, a distal end of the spring piece enters in the opening section of the substrate and the spring piece exerts an elastic force to press the compression connector against the cage, and
- when the compression connector is completely inserted into the cage, the distal end of the spring piece is positioned at a rear end of the compression connector to prevent the compression connector from slipping off.
A connector with substrate in which a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached via a cage, the connector with substrate comprising:
- a substrate;
- a cage fixed on the substrate, and including
- a lock hole formed at a front surface;
- and
- a compression connector inserted into the cage and including
- contacts that are in contact with the substrate,
- a housing to which the contacts are fixed,
- a cover shell that covers an upper surface portion of the housing, and
- a lock lever formed at a rear end of the compression connector as an elastic body and having a lock section curved and recessed inwardly, the lock lever rotating in an inserting direction to enter the lock section into the lock hole, wherein
- when an external force is applied to the lock lever entered into the lock hole, the lock lever exerts an elastic force to fix the compression connector to the cage.
