Abstract:
1. A connector device to be used with a flexible printed circuit board comprising a top and a bottom surface which is provided with a plurality of ground patterns, signal patterns and phase inversion signal patterns whose phases are inverted by respective pattern placement on both the top and bottom surfaces, and with a ground layer arranged between said top and bottom surfaces, said signal pattern and said phase inversion signal pattern being arranged between said ground patterns, and said flexible printed circuit board is provided at predetermined positions with exposed portions which exposing said ground layer at least from one side of its both surfaces, wherein said connector device including a required number of contacts each having a contact portion adapted to contact said flexible printed circuit board and a connection portion to be connected to a substrate, a required number of ground members at locations corresponding to said exposed portions, and a housing having inserting holes for arranging and holding said contacts and said ground members inserted therein and a fitting opening into which said flexible printed circuit board is inserted, and a pivoting member mounted on said housing on the side or opposite side of said fitting opening for elastically deforming said contacts and said ground members to push them to said flexible printed circuit board, wherein said contacts of said connector consist of first contacts and second contacts of two kinds, and one first contact and one second contact are arranged in one and the same inserting hole of said housing such that the contact portions of the first contact and the second contact are opposite to each other, and wherein when said pivoting member is pivotally moved said first contacts and said second contacts corresponding to the respective patterns come into contact with said flexible printed circuit board, and ground members located at predetermined positions enter said exposed portions so as to contact said ground layer.
