A connector has a plug connected to a first electric cable, and having a pin terminal and a plug holder, a socket connected to a second electric cable, and having a socket terminal and a socket holder, and a first tubular shield member and a second tubular shield member. The pin terminal of the plug is press-fitted and electrically connected to the socket terminal of the socket. The plug holder is connected to the socket holder. A first end of the first tubular shield member is electrically connected to a shield wire of the first electric cable. An elastic arm formed at an opening edge at a second end of the first tubular shield member is contacted to a conductive inner peripheral surface of the plug holder. A first end of the second tubular shield member is electrically connected to a shield wire of the second electric cable. An elastic arm of formed at an opening edge a second end of the second tubular shield member is contacted to a conductive inner peripheral surface of the socket holder.

A connector includes a base mounted with connecting terminals at a predetermined pitch and an operating lever turnably supported on the base. The operating lever presses and connects a tip end portion of a flexible printed circuit board against and to fixed contacts of the connecting terminals. Mounting protrusions provided to opposite end portions of the operating lever are moved along first slide faces, tapered faces, and second slide faces. The faces are formed in an uninterrupted manner on upper end faces of partition walls provided to opposite side end portions of the base. Turning shaft portions coaxially provided in an interrupted manner to remaining one side edge portion of the operating lever push up elastic finger portions of the connecting terminals. The turning shaft portions are turnably fitted in bearing recessed portions formed at the elastic finger portions.

Connector

In a wire connector, when a manipulation buttonis pushed into a casing, a manipulation portionof the manipulation buttonpushes down one side of a leaf spring, whereas by pressing and locking an upper surface of the manipulation buttonto a corner portionof the casingdue to a reaction of the leaf spring. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the small wire connector which is simple in structure, high in reliability of contact, and easy in assembly and connecting operation.
