It has been. The terminal array member 33 can be configured in the same manner as the terminal array member 23 described above.

  The dielectric portion 37 is made of, for example, a high dielectric ceramic such as barium titanate, and is joined to the surface 35a of the second terminal 35 by bonding or the like. Specifically, a copper layer is formed on the surface of the dielectric portion 37 by vapor deposition or the like, and the copper layer and the surface 35a of the second terminal 35 are joined by soldering. Thereby, both can be reliably joined, without forming an air layer between the 2nd terminal 35 and the dielectric material part 37. FIG.

  5A and 5B are views for explaining attachment of the male connector 3 to the second FPC 8.

  A plurality of wiring circuits 83 are formed on the surface of the second FPC 8, and terminals 832 are formed at the ends of the wiring circuits 83, respectively. A ground line 87 that electrically protects each wiring circuit 83 is also formed on the surface of the second FPC 8.

  The male connector 3 is mounted on the surface of the second FPC 8 as described above. Specifically, the back surface 3 b side of the male frame 31 is joined to the surface of the second FPC 8. Thereby, the back surfaces 35b of the plurality of second terminals 35 provided in the male connector 3 and the plurality of terminals 832 formed on the surface of the second FPC 8 are in contact with each other and are electrically connected. .

  As described above, the female connector 2 attached to the first FPC 7 and the male connector 3 attached to the second FPC 8 are fitted as shown in FIG. Specifically, the uncured male frame 31 is inserted into the uncured female frame 21 such that the long side portion 217 is spread outward.

  As a result, the surface 25a of each first terminal 25 positioned with respect to the female frame 21 and the surface 35a of each second terminal 35 positioned with respect to the male frame 31 are dielectrics. Opposite the part 37.

  In this way, the plate-like first terminal 25 and the second terminal 35 are arranged so as to be horizontal with the first FPC 7 and the second FPC 8, respectively, and the surface 25a and the second terminal 25 of the first terminal 25 are arranged. By forming the plate-like dielectric portion 37 between the surface 35a of the terminal 35, the connector 1 can be reduced in height.

  Further, when the male frame 31 is inserted into the female frame 21, the dielectric portions 37 provided on the male frame 31 face each other while facing the first terminals 25 provided on the female frame 21. Since it moves so that distance may be shortened, the dielectric part 37 can be made to contact the surface 25a of the 1st terminal 25 exactly, and the dielectric part 37 may damage the surface 25a of the 1st terminal 25. Can be suppressed.

If it is a means to couple | bond so that 25a and the surface 35a of the 2nd terminal 35 may oppose on both sides of the dielectric material part 37, it will not be restricted to this aspect.

  In the present embodiment, the first terminal 25 and the second terminal 35 are pressed against the dielectric portion 37 by the press-contact mechanism in which the first tapered portions 212 and 214 and the second tapered portions 312 and 314 are combined. Therefore, air or the like can be prevented from entering between them, and the dielectric constant between the first terminal 25 and the second terminal 35 can be prevented from changing.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the female frame 21 and the male frame 31 are fitted, the inclined surface 214c of the first tapered portion 214 and the inclined surface 314c of the second tapered portion 314 are mutually connected. Abut. Here, the female frame 21 is made of a resin material having elasticity, and the male frame 31 is inserted in a state where the female frame 21 is spread outward, so that a restoring force directed inward is generated.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6A, the first tapered portion 214, the second tapered portion 314 transmits a restoring force _{f 2} to the inclined surface 214c and the vertical direction. The restoring force _{f 2} can be decomposed into the vertical component _{f 2v} horizontal component _{f 2h,} the vertical component _{f 2v} is on the side of the first FPC7 the female frame 21 is attached, the male frame It becomes the force which attracts 31. Accordingly, the second terminal 35 provided on the male frame 31 is pressed against the dielectric portion 37. The dielectric portion 37 is also pressed against the first terminal 25.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the second tapered portion 314, since they produce a reaction force against the restoring force, with respect to the first tapered portion 214 transmits a reaction force _{f 3} the inclined surface 314c and the vertical direction. The reaction force _{f 3} can be decomposed into the vertical component _{f 3 v} horizontal component _{f 3h,} the vertical component _{f 3 v} is on the side of the second FPC8 the male frame 31 is attached, the female frame It will be a force to attract 21. Therefore, the first terminal 25 provided on the female frame 21 is pressed against the dielectric portion 37. The dielectric portion 37 is also pressed against the second terminal 35.

  In the present embodiment, an example of a pressure contact mechanism in which the first taper portions 212 and 214 and the second taper portions 312 and 314 are combined is shown, but the pressure contact mechanism includes the first terminal 25 and the second taper. Any mechanism can be used as long as the terminal 35 can be pressed against the dielectric portion 37.

The female frame 21C is made of an elastic resin material, and the first overhanging portions 212h and 214h are compressed between the second overhanging portions 312h and 314h and the second FPC 8. Since it is inserted into the gap, the second overhang portions 312h and 314h are pressed toward the first FPC 7 side by the restoring force. That is, the restoring force of the first overhang portions 212h and 214h is a force that attracts the male frame 31C to the first FPC 7 side. Accordingly, the second terminal 35 and the terminal 832 (see FIG. 3A described above) provided on the surface of the first FPC 7 are pressed into contact with the dielectric portion 37.
