Abstract:
In an electrical connector, it is possible to more reliably suppress unexpected displacement of an actuator, and it is possible to more reliably bring contacts into contact with conductive portions of a flexible connection member. The actuator ( 20 ) of the electrical connector ( 11 ) is configured such that pressure contact between the contacts ( 21 ) and the flexible connection member ( 8 ) is canceled by the actuator ( 20 ) being arranged at an open position (A 1 ), and the contacts ( 21 ) are brought into pressure contact with the flexible connection member ( 8 ) by the actuator ( 20 ) being arranged at a closed position (A 2 ). A provisional holding mechanism ( 51 ) can hold the actuator ( 20 ) at a provisional hold position (A 3 ) when the flexible connection member ( 8 ) is not connected to the electrical connector ( 11 ). The provisional holding mechanism ( 51 ) includes first engagement portions ( 52 ) provided on a housing ( 22 ), and second engagement portions ( 53 ) provided on the actuator ( 20 ). Engagement of the first engagement portions ( 52 ) and the second engagement portions ( 53 ) is prevented by insertion of the flexible connection member ( 8 ) between the housing ( 22 ) and the actuator ( 20 ).

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connector for connection to a flexible connection member having flexibility, the electrical connector comprising:\n a housing; a contact held in the housing and capable of coming into contact with a partner conductive member of the flexible connection member; an actuator having a shaft portion swingable relative to the housing, being capable of being displaced to a predetermined open position and a predetermined closed position relative to the housing by swinging about the shaft portion, being configured such that pressure contact of the contact and the partner conductive member is canceled by the actuator being arranged at the open position, and being configured such that the contact is brought into pressure contact with the partner conductive member by the actuator being arranged at the closed position; and a provisional holding mechanism configured to hold the actuator at a predetermined provisional hold position when the flexible connection member is not connected to the electrical connector, wherein the provisional holding mechanism includes a first engagement portion restricted from displacement relative to the housing, and a second engagement portion provided in the actuator and configured to engage with the first engagement portion at the provisional hold position, and engagement of the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion is prevented by insertion of the flexible connection member between the housing and the actuator.
