Connector

Abstract

Provided is a connector having reduced height and area that facilitates the retention and removal of a connection object while preventing damages to itself during operation. According to the present disclosure, a connector (10) includes an insulator (20) having an accommodation section (22) for allowing insertion of a connection object (an FPC 60), an actuator (40) attached to the insulator (20), and a locking member (50) that supports the connection object (the FPC 60) accommodated in the accommodation section (22) in an insertion-removal direction. When the actuator (40) is pushed in along a direction substantially orthogonal to the insertion-removal direction, the locking member (50) is elastically deformed and releases the connection object (the FPC 60).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
