す遊びがある。An insertion protrusion 22a is formed in each contact receiving groove 22, and a spring receiving portion 23a is formed in each contact receiving groove 23. The spring bearing portion 23a has a circular cross-sectional shape substantially centering on the rotation center shaft 21X. The relationship between the insertion protrusion 22a and the stabilizer leg 30c of the front contact group 30 is such that when the actuator 20 rotates to the lock position and the insertion protrusion 22a enters between the stabilizer leg 30c and the FPC / FFC50, the front side. And the contact leg 30b and the contact leg 40b of the contact group on the far side are in contact with each other (to generate contact pressure) with the FPC / FFC 50. That is, the stabilizer leg 30c is substantially a fixed leg. On the other hand, the spring receiving portion 2
3a is a stabilizer leg 40c of the rear contact group 40.
It is fitted in a hook portion 40d formed at the tip of the to prevent it from coming off. The actuator 20 is provided with the stabilizer leg 40.
Due to the engagement relationship between the hook portion 40d of c and the spring receiving portion 23a having a circular cross section, it can rotate about the rotation center shaft 21X. Further, the relationship between the spring receiving portion 23a and the stabilizer leg 40c (hook portion 40d) of the back side contact group 40 is that the actuator 20 is rotated between the unlock position and the lock position, and the FPC / FFC
When 50 is deformed by pressing, the stabilizer leg 40c is elastically deformed by the reaction force of the FPC / FFC 50, and a rotational force in the locking direction is applied to the actuator 20. That is, the stabilizer leg 40c is an elastically deformable leg. As described above, there is a play between the rotation support portion 21 of the actuator 20 and the rotation support portion 11 of the insulator 10, which allows the spring receiving portion 23a (actuator 20) to move further.

C / FFC50 to FPC / FFC insertion groove 30s and 40s
It is inserted between (FIG. 5 (A), FIG. 6 (A)). And
After inserting the FPC / FFC 50, the actuator 20

The FFC 50 is elastically deformed toward the contact legs 30b and 40b,
The spring receiving portion 23a receiving the reaction force is the stabilizer leg 4
0c is elastically deformed. When the actuator 20 is rotated toward the lock side from the position where the actuator 20 is orthogonal to the insulator 10 (FIG. 5 (B)), the pressing protrusions 24 are FPC / F.
Since the FC50 is elastically deformed to the side of the contact legs 30b and 40b to the maximum, the maximum elastic displacement of the stabilizer leg 40c also occurs at this time, and the actuator 20 is given a turning force in the locking direction (FIG. 5C). Therefore, the actuator 20 can be rotated to the lock position with a preferable click feeling (FIG. 5D).
