Abstract
A connector capable of preventing a contact portion of a contact from being damaged. The contact is held by a housing having an accommodating portion for accommodating an inserting portion of an inverter board. The contact has a contact portion which is capable of being brought into contact with the inserting portion accommodated in the accommodating portion along the direction of the thickness of the inverter board. A slider which brings the contact portion of the contact into and out of contact with the inserting portion of an inverter board by sliding is slidably mounted on the housing.
Claims14
A connector comprising:
- a housing comprising an accommodating portion into which a part of a board is insertable, said accommodating portion having an opening for receiving said part of said board;
- a contact comprising a contact portion which is capable of being brought into contact with said part of said board accommodated in said accommodating portion, and which is held by said housing;
- and
- a slider which is mounted on said housing in a slidable manner between an opening position at which the opening of said accommodating portion is opened and a closing position at which the opening of said accommodating portion is closed;
- wherein said slider brings said contact portion out of contact with said part of said board, which is directly engaged with said contact portion and inserted into said accommodating portion, in a thickness direction of said board when said slider is at the opening position, and said slider brings said contact portion into contact with said part of said board, which is inserted into said accommodating portion, in the thickness direction of said board when said slider is at the closing position;
- and
- wherein said contact comprises a guiding portion for guiding said slider in a sliding direction thereof.
A connector comprising:
- a housing comprising an accommodating portion into which a part of a board is insertable, said accommodating portion having an opening for receiving said part of said board;
- a contact comprising a contact portion which is capable of being brought into contact with said part of said board accommodated in said accommodating portion, and which is held by said housing;
- and
- a slider which is mounted on said housing in a slidable manner between an opening position at which the opening of said accommodating portion is opened and a closing position at which the opening of said accommodating portion is closed;
- wherein said slider brings said contact portion out of contact with said part of said board, which is directly engaged with said contact portion and inserted into said accommodating portion, in a thickness direction of said board when said slider is at the opening position, and said slider brings said contact portion into contact with said part of said board, which is inserted into said accommodating portion, in the thickness direction of said board when said slider is at the closing position;
- and
- wherein said slider comprises a lid portion that opens and closes the opening by sliding.
A connector comprising:
- a housing comprising an accommodating portion into which a part of a board is insertable in a thickness direction of said board, and an opening for receiving said part of said board in said accommodating portion in the thickness direction of said board;
- a contact comprising a contact portion which is capable of being brought into contact with said part of said board inserted in said accommodating portion, and a sandwiching portion for sandwiching said part of said board inserted in said accommodating portion and pushing said part against said contact portion, the contact being held by said housing;
- and
- a slider that is mounted on said housing in a slidable manner between an opening position at which the opening is opened and a closing position at which the opening is closed, the slider maintaining a state in which said part of said board is sandwiched by said sandwiching portion when said slider is at the closing position, and releasing the state in which said part of said board is sandwiched by said sandwiching portion when said slider is at the opening position.
