Abstract
A signal transmission medium inserted in a connector main body portion, which can be held and released successfully with a simple configuration, is disclosed. A distal end portion of an elastically-displaceable cantilever-shaped locking arm member formed so as to be integral with a board connection leg portion (holddown) is provided with a locking portion engaged with a portion of the signal transmission medium inserted in the connector main body portion to hold the inserted state. The held state of the signal transmission medium is maintained by elastic action of the locking arm member extending in a relatively-elongated shape from a swinging fulcrum. Simultaneously, an unlocking-action force on the locking portion can be reduced, and an unlocking-operation force is stably received by the board connection leg portion (holddown) fixed to a printed circuit board so that improvement in strength is achieved.
