Abstract

A connector 10 includes a housing 20 and a CPA 30. The CPA 30 includes a basal portion 60, a pair of right and left first elastic arms 71, and a second elastic arm 75. Each of the first elastic arms 71 includes a first arm portion 72, a second arm portion 73, and a catch protrusion 74. The second elastic arm 75 similarly includes a third arm portion 76, a fourth arm portion 77, and a protruding portion 78. In this way, the first elastic arms 71 and the second elastic arm 75 are shaped to extend from the basal portion 60, be folded back, and return to the basal portion 60. Thus achieved are a CPA 30 and a connector 10 that are short in length while ensuring sufficient flexibility of the first elastic arms 71 and the second elastic arm 75 when the catch protrusion 74 and the protruding portion 78 interfere with the housing 20. The connector including the CPA has a reduced length in a sliding direction while keeping elastic arms sufficiently flexible.

Abstract

A connector includes a housing and a connector position assurance device positioned in a temporary caught position on the housing when the connector is not mated with a mating connector. The connector position assurance device is allowed to slide to a caught position in front of the temporary caught position in a mating direction when the connector is completely mated with the mating connector. The connector position assurance device assures that the connectors are completely mated in the caught position. The connector position assurance device has a pressed-back portion abutted by the mating connector during mating and pressed back relative to the housing if the connector position assurance device is positioned in the caught position when the connector starts to mate with the mating connector, positioning the connector position assurance device in the temporary caught position at a complete mating of the connector with the mating connector.

Abstract

A circuit board includes a protective film of such a type that a mating contact slides on the protective film and rides over a pad, and is prevented from deteriorating due to attachment and detachment. A circuit board 10 includes a plate-shaped base body 40, a pad 20 formed on a surface of the base body 40 and responsible for electrical contact with a mating contact, and a protective film 30 that spreads on the surface of the base body 40 in contact with an edge of the pad 20. The edge of the pad 20 and a portion, which contacts the edge of the pad 20, of the protective film 30 respectively have heights consecutive to each other. The pad 20 contacts, by causing the mating contact that has slid in a sliding direction in contact with the protective film 30 to ride over the pad 20, the mating contact that has ridden over the pad 20.
