Abstract

The present invention relates to an actuator that has a specific structure, and is molded from a resin composition, in which the resin composition contains a liquid crystal polyester having a specific repeating unit and a filling material, an amount of the repeating unit including a 2,6-naphthylene group is 40 mol % or more with respect to a total number of moles of all repeating units configuring the liquid crystal polyester, and an amount of the filling material is less than 55 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the liquid crystal polyester and the filling material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An actuator which is rotatably attached to a housing, and presses and fixes a sheet-shaped cable to the housing, in a surface-mounted electric connector, the actuator comprising:
a plurality of through holes that penetrate in a thickness direction,
wherein the plurality of through holes are arranged in a line along a predetermined arrangement axis,
the actuator is molded from a resin composition,
the resin composition contains a liquid crystal polyester having repeating units represented by General Formula (1) to General Formula (3), and a filling material,
an amount of the repeating unit including a 2,6-naphthylene group in the liquid crystal polyester is 40 mol % or more with respect to a total number of moles of all repeating units configuring the liquid crystal polyester, and
an amount of the filling material is less than 55 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of the liquid crystal polyester and the filling material,
—O—Ar 1 —CO—  (1)

—CO—Ar 2 —CO—  (2)

—X—Ar 3 —Y—  (3)

[in General Formula (1) to General Formula (3), Ar 1 represents one of the group consisting of a phenylene group, a naphthylene group, and a biphenylylene group; Ar 2 and Ar 3 each independently represent one of the group consisting of a phenylene group, a naphthylene group, a biphenylylene group, and a group represented by General Formula (4); X and Y each independently represent one of the group consisting of an oxygen atom and an imino group; and one or more hydrogen atoms in Ar 1 , Ar 2 and Ar 3 may be each independently substituted with one of the group consisting of a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms]
—Ar 4 -Z-Ar 5 —  (4)

[in General Formula (4), Ar 4 and Ar 5 each independently represent one of the group consisting of a phenylene group and a naphthylene group; and Z represents one of the group consisting of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a carbonyl group, a sulfonyl group, and an alkylidene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms].

2. The actuator according to claim 1 ,
wherein the filling material is a glass fiber.

3. The actuator according to claim 2 ,
wherein an amount of the glass fiber is 30 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the liquid crystal polyester and the glass fiber.

4. The actuator according to claim 2 ,
wherein a weight average fiber length of the glass fiber is 75 μm or more and 350 μm or less.

5. The actuator according to claim 1 ,
wherein the liquid crystal polyester has 30 mol % or more and 80 mol % or less of the repeating unit represented by General Formula (1), 10 mol % or more and 35 mol % or less of the repeating unit represented by General Formula (2), and 10 mol % or more and 35 mol % or less of the repeating unit represented by General Formula (3), with respect to the total number of moles of all repeating units configuring the liquid crystal polyester.
