Abstract
A hinge connector comprising an insulative connector housing () having a predetermined shape, a through hole extending through the connector housing, a receiving chamber defined in the through hole, and an elastic contact member () having electric conductivity and a rotatable contact member () that are received in the receiving chamber, wherein the elastic contact member () is elastically contacted at one end thereof with the rotatable contact member (), and projects at the other end out of the through hole to form an external contact. This hinge connector is mounted on the main body housing () of an electronic device, a circuit board () is connected to a cover body, and the contact member () is disposed to make rotation contact with the pattern on the circuit board. Such arrangement provides a hinge connector wherein the contact smoothly rotates even if the contact pressure on the circuit board is increased, and good contact can be maintained.
