不便なことがある。In the above-mentioned known connector, the inner cover of the two pressure contact covers has a function as a partition wall for the two flat cables, and means for connecting these covers to each other. Since it is necessary to dispose the two flat cables on the same side of the connector body in the front-rear direction and press-connect to the press-contact parts of each contact in each step, the wires are arranged before and after arranging these press-contact parts. Since it is necessary to form a wide width in the direction, and since these covers are coupled to each other, when the outer cover is removed, the inner cover may also come off, which is inconvenient.

The pressure contact portion of the contact does not deeply dig into the insulating coating of each flat cable interposed between the cable pressure contact surface of the first and second covers and the cable support plate portion surface.
However, at the time of main fixing in which the locking portions of the short arm portions of the first and second covers are respectively engaged with the first and second locking portions of the connector body, each flat cable is connected by the first and second covers. As a result of being strongly pressed against the surface of the support plate, the pressure contact portion of the contact deeply digs into the insulating coating of each flat cable, and the core wire of each flat cable is pressure contacted and connected to the V-shaped groove of the pressure contact portion.

かであるから省略する。In the connector 10, the end region of the cable 30a is placed on the tip of the pressure contact portion 19 of each contact 13 arranged on the upper surface of the support plate portion 14, and the pressure contact cover 11a is attached to the long and short arm portions 21 and 22 and the side wall 25. By pressing so that the side wall 15 is positioned between the long arm portion 21 and the side wall 15
The engaging portion 23 is engaged with the engaging portion 16a while escaping to the outside relatively against its springiness. At this time (temporarily fixed), the cable 3 is pressed by the pressure contact of the pressure contact cover 11a.
Although the pressure contact portion 19 is not in a state of deeply digging into the insulation coating of 0a, when the pressure contact cover 11a is further pressed (at the time of final fixing), the pressure contact portion 19 deeply digs into the insulation coating of the cable 30a and the cable 30a. The core wire is the pressure contact part 1
The V-shaped groove 9 is pressure-contacted and connected, and the state is surely maintained. Similarly to the above, the cable 30b is also connected to the pressure contact portion 19 of each contact 13 arranged on the lower surface of the support plate portion 14 by pressure contact of the pressure contact cover 11b, but the description is clear from the description of the cable 30a. Omit it.

The long and short arm portions 21 and 22 are formed such that the long arm portion 21 of the cover 11a faces the short arm portion 22 of the cover 11b, and the short arm portion 22 of the cover 11a faces the long arm portion 21 of the cover 11b. I am doing it. That is, the long and short arms 21 and 22 of the cover 11a and the long and short arm portions 21 and 22 of the cover 11b are formed so as to be positioned in a phased joint form.

The width of the supporting plate portion can be made smaller than that of a conventional connector of this type in which the pressure contact portions are arranged on these step portions.

ーブルを確実に保持することができる。In such a connector, the press-contact covers are pressed in the directions of approaching each other with the support plate portion as the center so that these locking portions are engaged with the locking portions of the connector body. Since the arm part provided with the engaging part is formed in a phase-joint joint shape, the structure of that part can be simplified and the supporting plate part is formed relatively thin so that it can be used as an engaging part of the contact body. By providing temporary and permanent fixing locking parts that have different movement distances (intervals) until they are engaged and gathering these locking parts in a proper manner, the connector as a whole can meet the demands for lightness, thinness, and miniaturization. In addition, the cable can be reliably held between the cable pressing surface of these covers and the support plate portion surface.
