Abstract

A connector includes a first connector and a second connector mounted on an external device. The first connector includes a contact including a contact portion electrically connected to a connection terminal of the second connector by pressing the connection terminal in a predetermined direction; a flexible conductor connected to the contact; a protection member that protects the contact portion by covering a periphery of the contact; a base body that accommodates the contact, the flexible conductor, and the protection member; and an elastic member that is formed separately from the contact and presses the contact and the protection member in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

Dependent claims

A connector comprising:

a first connector;
and
a second connector mounted on an external device,
wherein the first connector includes:
a contact including a contact portion that is electrically connected to a connection terminal of the second connector by pressing the connection terminal in a predetermined direction;
a flexible conductor connected to the contact;
a protection member that protects the contact portion by covering a periphery of the contact;
a base body that accommodates the contact, the flexible conductor, and the protection member;
and
an elastic member that is formed separately from the contact and presses the contact and the protection member in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction,
the base body includes a first opening through which the protection member protrudes in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction,
the protection member includes a second opening through which the contact portion protrudes toward the second connector farther than a pressing surface against which the connection terminal of the second connector is pressed, the protection member being movable in the predetermined direction and in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction along with movement of the second connector, and
before the second connector comes in contact with the contact portion or the protection member, the contact portion is located at a position protruding toward the second connector through the second opening, and in a final coupled state with the second connector, the contact portion is located substantially on the same plane as the pressing surface.
