Abstract:
1. A circuit-terminal connecting device comprising; an electrical connector having an insulated housing mounted on a main circuit board and a plurality of resilient contacts arranged on the insulated housing, each of said resilient contacts having a board connecting portion provided to be connected respectively to a plurality of first circuit-terminals provided on the main circuit board, and a flat circuit member having a reinforced portion attached to one of first and second surface portions opposite to each other of a reinforcing board member, said reinforcing board member being operative to engage with the insulated housing of the electrical connector and provided thereon a plurality of second circuit-terminals, wherein the resilient contacts include first and second contacts arranged one after the other and each of the first and second contacts has, in addition to the board connecting portion, a fixable portion provided to be fixed to the insulated housing and a resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion to get under a board member accommodating portion provided on the insulated housing, wherein the resilient arm portion of each of the first and second contacts is provided with a contact point for coming into press-contact with the second circuit-terminal provided on the reinforced portion of the flat circuit member so as to cause the second circuit-terminals to be electrically connected respectively with the first circuit-terminals provided on the main circuit board through the first and second contacts and a locking portion for engaging with the other of the first and second surface portions of the reinforcing board member to lock the reinforcing board member, wherein the insulated housing of the electrical connector is provided thereon with the board member accommodating portion for accommodating the reinforcing board member accompanied with the reinforced portion of the flat circuit member, wherein a first portion of the insulated housing to which the fixable portion of each of the first contacts is fixed and a second portion of the insulated housing to which the fixable portion of each of the second contacts is fixed are provided to be opposite to each other with the board member accommodating portion of the insulated housing provided between the first and second portions, and wherein the contact point provided on the resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion of each of the first contacts and the locking portion provided on the resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion of each of the second contacts are placed on the side of the second portion of the insulated housing, and the contact point provided on the resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion of each of the second contacts and the locking portion provided on the resilient arm portion extending from the fixable portion of each of the first contacts are placed on the side of the first portion of the insulated housing.
