Description

Slide contact type connector

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of slide contact type connector, more specifically, relate to the slide contact type connector that one is connected to liquid crystal printed circuit board (LED PCB) in LCD TV (LED TV) panel and power panel PCB, wherein, the space availability ratio in narrow space can be maximized by the structure improving connector shell, improve assembling process and productivity ratio.

Background technology

Usually, " connector " refers to for the jockey in all industries, and particularly in electrical/electronic industry, it relates to for connecting two or more devices that is electric or electronic unit, is that electronic industry develops necessary equipment.Particularly, if be difficult to produce as two or more products of single integrated unit, if or produce respectively these products more effective time, always need connector.Based on the product using connector wherein, connector has various different shape, but in electronics/electric field, due to the characteristic in this field, connector keeps safest contact point and always transmits the validity of electric current with fixed level is most preferred.

In the connector of the connection PCB terminal of the prior art disclosed in the utility model of application number 2002-0002921, because circuit board is flatly installed, so connector is configured such that the shape of terminal bends vertically, to make the terminal of the cable be connected on unit (circuit board the is mounted in the cells, which) back side to stretch connector installation.But along with the progress of technology, the special size as the product of monitor and TV and so on is thinning, correspondingly, there is the transformation from level to vertical circuit board installation direction.If employ the connector of prior art, then due to this change in the mounting direction, the independent connector being provided with cable is secured on the terminal of circuit board, and the cable of independent connector is connected to the connector be installed on unit.

Because the connector of such prior art must be connected to independent connector, independent connector is then attached to the cable being in and being installed between circuit board and the connector of unit, so can cause the shortcoming producing additional work process during manufacture like this.

In addition, the consumption of the optional feature caused due to the use owing to the connector be attached on cable, for the connector of prior art, product cost disadvantageously increases.

In addition, the connector of prior art has interference to be increased, and the shortcoming that bad connection probability increases.

And, use the connector of prior art, for the sensation being difficult to workman confirm to click (during coupling, click clatter once) in the coupling of assembly process, if employ excessive mating force at assembly process, then not only ability to work is impaired, and connector itself also has impaired risk.

Summary of the invention

The problem that invention will solve

In order to solve the problem, the present invention has the object of the slide contact type connector produced for connecting LED PCB and power panel PCB, wherein, improve the structure of connector shell, make the working space utilance in narrow zone optimised, prevent interference and bad connection, and workman can confirm to mate the sensation clicked easily.

The mode of dealing with problems

In order to reach above-mentioned target, slide contact type connector of the present invention is a kind of connector for LED PCB being electrically connected to power panel PCB, and the structure of connector comprises: shell, it comprises the bottom part cuing open hole being inserted into and being formed in described LED PCB, upwards extend at described bottom part either side and it be formed with the fixture installing component in fixture gap, formed as the single integrated unit with described fixture installing component and be positioned at there is the position of the contact point of described LED PCB at rear portion brake component with liquid container, and be arranged on top and be connected to the top component of described fixture installing component in the face of described bottom part, fixture, it is for being fixed to described LED PCB by inserting in described fixture gap by described shell, and first contact terminal, it, through described brake component, is electrically connected to second contact terminal of described power panel PCB and is arranged on the upper surface of described bottom part, wherein, described power panel PCB is inserted in the slit on the front surface being formed in described shell, makes the second contact terminal described first contact terminal being electrically connected to described power panel PCB.

The bottom of described top component is formed with insertion groove, and described first contact terminal is inserted in described insertion groove; Described fixture gap has the structure towards the front openings of described fixture installing component.

The beneficial effect of the invention

As mentioned above, the present invention by improving the structure of connector shell, can optimize the utilance of the narrow working space when connecting LED PCB and power panel PCB.

In addition, can avoid interference and bad connection by the present invention, workman can confirm to mate the sensation clicked, because do not have excessive mating force to be applied at assembly process easily, so not only improve both ability to work and productivity ratio, and eliminate the risk of connector self damage.

In addition, the present invention can increase product reliability, this is because described connection can not unexpectedly disconnect by external impact.

And, because owing to the lower surface of fixture being formed with extension forward, extension makes fixture be welded in place securely relative to LED PCB, even if so power panel PCB moves up, the present invention also can increase product reliability by stoping the separation of shell.
