Description

Electric connector

[technical field]

The relevant a kind of electric connector of the utility model relates in particular to a kind of electric connector that utilizes flexible PCB the camera module to be electrically connected to circuit board.

[background technology]

See also shown in Figure 1ly, existing a kind of electric connector 1 ' utilizes flexible PCB 2 ' that camera module 3 ' is electrically connected to circuit board (not shown), and it comprises metal shell 10 ' and shell fragment 11 '.Metal shell 10 ' is formed by the metal stamping bending, and it is provided with receiving space 100 ', and camera module 3 ' is mounted in the receiving space 100 ' and with shell fragment 11 ' and contacts.

Yet, various now communication electronic equipments are all towards light, thin, short, little trend development, electric connector 1 ' as shown in Figure 1 needs metal shell 10 ' and shell fragment 11 ' could reliably also effectively camera module 3 ' be electrically connected to circuit board, electric connector 1 ' the assembly of this structure is more, certainly will increase the volume of whole electric connector 1 ', strengthen manufacturing cost.

Given this, be necessary to provide a kind of improved electric connector in fact, to overcome the defective of above-mentioned electric connector.

[utility model content]

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of electric connector simple in structure.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts following technical scheme: a kind of electric connector, it comprises: the metal shell that is provided with receiving space, metal shell is provided with diapire, diapire comprises the root of centre located therein, in some openings that the bilateral symmetry of root is provided with, the compressing piece that is provided with in each opening, wherein said root is provided with some projectioies of extending in receiving space, described compressing piece extends in root two side direction receiving spaces.

Compared with prior art, the utility model electric connector has following beneficial effect: this electric connector only needs the metal shell just can be reliably and effectively utilize flexible PCB that the camera module is electrically connected to circuit board, the electric coupler component of this structure is few, can effectively reduce the volume of whole electric connector.

Fig. 2 is the three-dimensional exploded view that the utility model electric connector group is provided with flexible PCB and camera module.

Fig. 3 is the stereogram of the utility model electric connector.

[embodiment]

See also Fig. 2 and 3 and show, the utility model is that a kind of flexible PCB 2 that utilizes is connected to the electric connector (indicate) of circuit board (not shown) with camera module 3, and it comprises the metal shell 10 that is provided with receiving space 100.

Metal shell 10 is to be formed by metallic plate punching press bending, it has the receiving space 100 of accommodating camera module 3 and flexible PCB 2, this receiving space 100 is by diapire 101, from identical left wall 102 and the right wall 103 of the upwardly extending a pair of structure in diapire 101 left and right edges, from the upwardly extending antetheca 104 in diapire 101 forward and backward edges and rear wall 105 around forming.Wherein diapire 101 comprises the root 1010 of being located at central authorities, the some openings 1011 that are provided with in the bilateral symmetry of root 1010, the compressing piece 1012 that in each opening 1011, is provided with, wherein said root 1010 is provided with in receiving space 100 extend some protruding 1013, and described compressing piece 1012 extends in 1010 liang of side direction receiving spaces 100 of root.Antetheca 104 is positioned at its middle breach 1041 and separated into two parts, above-mentioned breach 1041 can pass for flexible circuit 2 plates, and antetheca 104 and rear wall 105 are respectively equipped with the fixing shell fragment 106 that extends into receiving space 100, left side wall 102 and right wall 103 are provided with from diapire 101 upwardly extending base portions 1021, the flat part 107 that on the mediad of base portion 1021, is in the shape of the letter V and extends, from two lateral bucklings of flat part 107 extend into receiving space 100 with the end of the two pairs of elastic arms 108 of above-mentioned fixing shell fragment 106 common fixedly camera modules 3 and own elasticity arm 108 upwards and to the guid arms 109 of receiving space 100 outside extensions.

Flexible PCB 2 comprises first end 21 and the second end 22.Wherein first end 21 places receiving space 100, its upper and lower surface (indicate) respectively with the diapire 101 of camera module 3 and metal shell 10 on compressing piece 1012 elasticity butts, 22 of the second ends are derived by the opening on metal shell 10 antethecas 104 1041, with place receiving space 100 circuit external plate conductings.

When flexible PCB 2 and camera module 3 were assembled into electric connector: at first the first end 21 with flexible PCB 2 was contained in receiving space 100, then camera module 3 is inserted in the receiving space 100 of metal shell 10 along described guid arm 109.In this process, extend into the surface that the fixing shell fragment 106 of receiving space 100 and elastic arm 108 because of the extruding of camera subject module 3 strain take place and be resisted against camera module 3 on the metal shell 10, the upper and lower surface of flexible PCB 2 respectively with the diapire 101 of camera module 3 and metal shell 10 on compressing piece 1012 elasticity butts.

When camera module 3 is pressed to flexible PCB 2, compressing piece 1012 on the diapire 101 is also because of the crimping generation strain of flexible PCB 2, flexible PCB 2 be subjected to that compressing piece 1012 provides one is pressed to the opposite support force of direction of flexible PCB 2 along camera module 3 like this, thereby realizes the stable fixing of camera module 3 and metal shell 10.

The utility model electric connector only needs the metal shell 10 just can be reliably and effectively utilize flexible PCB 2 that camera module 3 is electrically connected to circuit board, and the electric coupler component of this structure is few, can effectively reduce the volume of whole electric connector.

The above only is a kind of execution mode of the present utility model, it or not whole or unique execution mode, the variation of any equivalence that those of ordinary skills take technical solutions of the utility model by reading the utility model specification is claim of the present utility model and contains.
