Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An engagement amount of a latch lock part with respect to a signal transmission medium is sufficiently and constantly ensured by a simple configuration. A reference abutting surface having a stepped shape projecting toward an upper surface of the signal transmission medium compared with other part of an inner wall surface of a medium insertion path is formed at part of the inner wall surface of the medium insertion path facing the upper surface of the signal transmission medium, the upper surface of the signal transmission medium is caused to abut at least the reference abutting surface of the medium insertion path, and the position of the upper surface of the signal transmission medium is determined in the thickness direction while using the reference abutting surface as a reference. As a result, the engagement amount and the canceling amount of a latch lock part can be constantly maintained regardless of variations in the thickness of the signal transmission medium, the force of retaining the signal transmission medium is stabilized, and this electrical connector can be downsized.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrical connector configured so that a signal transmission medium comes to be inserted to or removed from an interior space between an upper-side inner wall surface and a lower-side inner wall surface of a medium insertion path formed so as to be surrounded by an inner wall surface of an insulating housing, and configured so that, when a latch lock part(s) is moved to an engagement position with respect to an engagement position determining part of t…
