Abstract:
1. An electrical connector configured to be mounted on a wiring board, the wiring board solder-joined with a board connecting part, the electrical connector having a latch lock part engaged with a terminal part of a signal transmission medium inserted in an insulating housing to retain the signal transmission medium in an approximately immobile state, the electrical connector configured so that the engaged state of the latch lock part can be cancelled by operating a lock cancellation operating part; the electrical connector comprising: a lock member that includes the latch lock part, and a lock arm member integrally extending like a cantilever from the board connecting part and disposed so as to be elastically displaceable; and the latch lock part and the lock cancellation operating part are elastically displaceably provided integrally at an intermediate position and a free-end position in an extending direction of the lock arm member, wherein the lock arm member is bent-formed so as to be reversed and extending between the board connecting part and the latch lock part, and wherein two latching pieces and a fixing piece are provided at an edge part of the lock member for fixation of the lock member, in the manner that [A] the one latching piece projects in parallel with the wiring board from the lock member toward the connector front direction, [B] the other latching piece projects perpendicular to the wiring board from the lock member toward the connector front direction, and [C] the fixing piece projects from the lock member toward the inner side of the connector.
