Abstract

The present invention provides a planar connector having excellent performances including flatness, warp-deformation resistance, and heat resistance, being capable of responding to shape changes in recent planar connectors. Specifically, the planar connector is composed of a composite resin composition comprises (A) a liquid crystalline polymer containing 55% by mole or less of p-hydroxy benzoic acid residue and having a melting point of 330° C. or higher, (B) a plate-like inorganic filler, and (C) a fibrous filler having a weight average fiber length within a range of 250 to 600 μm, the amount of (B) component being 25 to 35% by weight to the total composition, the amount of (C) component being 10 to 25% by weight to the total composition, the sum in total of (B) component and (C) component being 40 to 50% by weight to the total composition, wherein the connector has a lattice structure inside an outer frame, and has an opening inside the lattice area, and wherein the pitch interval of the lattice area is 1.5 mm or less, and the ratio of the thickness of the thickness of the lattice area to the outer frame area is 0.8 or less.
