Abstract:
An electrical connector in which a movable plate, which elastically deforms a contact pin when moved horizontally, is deposed to be horizontally movable on a connector body on which the contact pin is located, and an upper operation member is disposed to an upper side of the connector body to be vertically movable so that when the upper operation member is lowered, the movable plate is moved horizontally to thereby elastically deform the contact pin and then displace the same through an X-shaped link, whereby a terminal of electrical part is inserted with non-press contact state to the contact pin, and when the upper operation member is moved upward, the movable plate returns to an original position thereof and the elastic deformation of the contact pin is released, whereby the terminal of the electrical part and the contact pin are electrically contacted,said electrical connector being characterized in that said X-shaped line has substantially an X-shaped structure by pivotally connecting a pair of link members together and disposed at a portion corresponding to a body side surface portion normal to the horizontally moving direction of the movable plate and/or a body side surface portion parallel thereto, a lower end portion of one of the link members is connected to be pivotal to the connector body and a lower end portion of another one of the link members is pivotally connected to the movable plate, and one of an upper end portions of both the link members is pivotally connected to the upper operation member,wherein a plurality of said X-shaped links are disposed at portions corresponding to body side surface portions normal to the horizontally moving direction of the movable plate and/or body side surface portions parallel thereto, and a plurality of lower end portions of said another ones of the link members are pivotally connected to the movable plate with space from each other.
