Connector, connection object and electronic device
A connector ( 10 ) according to this disclosure includes an insulator ( 20 ) into/from which a connection object ( 60 ) can be inserted/removed and an actuator ( 50 ) capable of rotating between a closed position where the actuator closes relative to the insulator ( 20 ) and an opened position where the actuator opens relative to the insulator ( 20 ). The actuator ( 50 ) rotates from the removal side to the insertion side of the connection object ( 60 ) with respect to the insulator ( 20 ) when moving from the closed position to the opened position and holds the opened position independently.
1. A connector, comprising:
an insulator into/from which a connection object can be inserted/removed; and
an actuator capable of rotating between a closed position where said actuator closes with respect to said insulator and an opened position where said actuator opens with respect to said insulator, wherein
said actuator rotates from a removal side to an insertion side of said connection object with respect to said insulator when moving from said closed position to said opened position and holds said opened position independently, and
wherein said actuator rotates and returns to said closed position when said connection object is removed from said insulator.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , comprising
a pressing member configured to urge said actuator toward said closed position and to elastically deform to allow for rotation of said actuator to said opened position side, wherein
said actuator includes:
a cam configured to come in contact with said pressing member; and
a first holding portion configured to come in contact with said connection object inserted into said insulator at said opened position.
3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the actuator includes a second holding portion located, at said opened position, further on an insertion side of said connection object than said cam and configured to come in contact with said insulator.
4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator includes a pivot to be in contact with said insulator when rotating.
5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator includes a locking portion configured to come in contact with said connection object when the connection object is inserted into said insulator and cause said actuator to rotate to said opened position side, and to engage with a locked portion of said connection object after being inserted.
6. An electronic device comprising a connector according to claim 1 .
