Description

Single-key pressing assembly and connector thereof

[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device

The present creation relates to the technical field of connectors, and more particularly, to a single key pressing assembly of a two-piece pressing structure and a connector thereof.

[ background of the invention ]

The connector is connected with the assembly of the lead and the circuit board, and has the advantages that the connector is not welded on the circuit board in a solid welding mode, so that a user can easily realize the effect of electric connection through plugging.

In order to make the connector and the wire contact firmly, various automatic latching methods have been developed, so that the connector and the wire can be easily connected without falling off, and the above actions will automatically latch to keep the connector and the wire connected during the process of inserting the wire into the connector; however, the conventional method of locking the wires by the single-end locking structure drives the connector to be miniaturized due to the miniaturization of the electronic product, and if the single-end locking structure is adopted, it is very inconvenient for an assembler, and the connector or even the wires or the circuit board may be damaged due to uneven application of force.

Furthermore, the conventional single-end locking structure is already present in the existing structure and manufacturing process, and how to improve the existing mold or process is an important issue.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a single key pressing assembly of a two-piece pressing structure and a connector thereof, which are used to solve the disadvantages caused by the conventional connector.

[ Utility model ] content

A first objective of the present invention is to provide a single key pressing assembly, which is applied to a connector having a plurality of elastic locking portions, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically latching a flat conductive wire (such as a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) or a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC)).

The second objective of the present invention is to provide a reinforcing rib and a retaining wall to increase the strength and withstand the external force according to the single key pressing assembly.

The third objective of the present invention is to provide a connector with uniform force to automatically latch the flat wire.

To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a single key pressing assembly combined with a connector including a plurality of elastic pressing members. The single-key pressing assembly comprises a body, a reinforcing rib and a retaining wall. The body forms a pressing surface and a contact surface. The reinforcing ribs are formed on the pressing surface and the contact surface. The reinforcing rib and the pressing surface have a height difference. The retaining wall is formed on the side surface of the body. The retaining wall extends from the pressing surface and the free end of the retaining wall is bent at an angle.

To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a connector for a flat wire. The connector comprises a housing, a terminal, a first elastic locking part, a second elastic locking part and a single key pressing component. The housing forms an accommodation space, a first hole, a second hole and an insertion opening. The first broken hole, the second broken hole and the insertion hole are respectively communicated with the accommodating space and an external space of the shell. The first broken hole and the second broken hole are formed on two sides of the shell respectively. The terminal is arranged in the accommodating space to electrically connect the flat lead. The first elastic locking part is arranged in the accommodating space and is adjacent to the side edge of the shell. An upper edge portion of the first resilient locking portion protrudes out of the first broken hole. The second elastic locking part is arranged in the accommodating space and is adjacent to the other side edge of the shell. An upper edge portion of the second resilient locking portion protrudes from the second hole. The single key pressing assembly is disposed at one side of the first elastic locking portion and one side of the second elastic locking portion. The single-key pressing assembly comprises a body, a reinforcing rib and a retaining wall. The reinforcing rib is formed on a pressing surface and a contact surface of the body. The retaining wall is formed on the side surface of the body and extends from the pressing surface. Wherein, the reinforcing rib and the pressing surface have a height difference and the free end of the retaining wall is bent at an angle. The flat wire is guided into the insertion opening to drive the first elastic locking portion and the second elastic locking portion to deform, so that the flat wire is locked in the accommodating space, and is applied to the single-key pressing assembly by means of external force to drive the first elastic locking portion and the second elastic locking portion to deform, so that the flat wire is unlocked in the accommodating space, separated from the accommodating space and separated from the accommodating space.

Compared with the prior art, the single key pressing assembly can be combined with a connector with a plurality of elastic pressing pieces, and is particularly suitable for two pressing pieces so as to provide the purpose of uniform force application of the pressing pieces.

In another embodiment, the connector provided by the present invention is applied to a flat wire, so that the flat wire can be automatically locked in the accommodating space of the connector and electrically connected with the terminal in the accommodating space; in addition, the connector can perform the unlocking and locking functions independently by the first elastic locking part and the second elastic locking part, and can also perform the unlocking and locking functions by driving the first elastic locking part and the second elastic locking part simultaneously by a single-key pressing assembly by combining the first elastic locking part and the second elastic locking part through the single-key pressing assembly.

Thus, unless clearly indicated to the contrary, such description should be read to include one, at least one and the singular also includes the plural.

In this disclosure, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," or any other similar term are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, an element, structure, article, or apparatus that comprises a plurality of elements is not limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such element, structure, article, or apparatus. In addition, unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or".
