Description

Multi-direction to the plug-in connector

The utility model relates to a kind of multi-direction to the plug-in connector, particularly relates to the electric connector that terminal has better elastic and the insertion of multi-direction guiding butt joint terminal.

Being electrically connected between circuit board and another circuit board adopts butt connector to realize more in the general electronic installation, as the battery tray of hand-held computer and being connected of rechargeable battery.This type connector mostly had two grafting directions and opening in the past, as United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 632, the electric connector structure that is proposed for No. 475, wherein, plug connector has several full slice system terminals, electric connector for socket has several slots, be provided with U type terminal in the slot, when the full slice system terminal of plug connector inserts in the slot, U type terminal coats and contact full slice system terminal and constitute electrical connection in the groove, but this each U type terminal comparatively expends raw material, dock simultaneously between the terminal with large tracts of land, be short of flexible mode and constitute contact, very easily terminal is caused serious scratch, cause problems such as terminal oxidation and contact loose contact.

And for example, United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 551, No. 883, No. the 83107591st, Taiwan patent application, the terminal of its plug connector also is a full slice system, the terminal of electric connector for socket is improved, replace the clad type of aforementioned U type terminal, the large-area way of contact with an elastic arm that tilts and contact jaw with projection, its elastic arm extends from the holding parts of terminal, and the formed warpage of mat punching press provides the elasticity of contact jaw.But its elasticity arm of force deficiency causes the not enough and strong excessively situation of rigidity of elasticity, and its terminal must produce with insulation shell interferes, and to reach the effect of precompressed, just can make the terminal of plug connector be easy to insert.Therefore, this electric connector needs careful position to the plus end free end of elastic arm when terminal is assembled, will increase the man-hour of assembling and the defect rate of finished product.

No. the 84210634th, the Taiwan patent application for another example, and wherein, the terminal of plug connector still is the full slice system terminal, the electrical connection that the terminal of electric connector for socket has a rectangle scalene cone and contacts with the terminal formation face of plug connector.But the terminal of this kind band rectangle scalene cone belongs to complicated, the more fabrication schedule of station when punching press, the complicated stamped process and the station of punching press are more, precision is difficult for reaching in the time of will causing the terminal punching out, and causes defect rate to rise, and manufacturing cost is also with higher.Other prior art relevant with the utility model also has United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 715, and 819 and 4,975, No. 062 etc.

It is a kind of multi-direction to the plug-in connector that the purpose of this utility model is to provide, its terminal has better elastic, can keep and the electrical connection of docking terminal, simultaneously, this terminal has the structure of guiding, butt joint connector terminals multi-directionally inserts in the slot of this electric connector, to solve the problem that existing electric connector exists.

The purpose of this utility model is to realize like this, promptly provide a kind of multi-direction to the plug-in connector, dock with another electric connector, this electric connector has insulation shell and several terminals, described insulation shell is provided with the terminal slots of several multi-direction openings, described terminal is contained in the described terminal slots relatively, and this terminal comprises: in order to the holding parts of the described terminal of fixing in described electric connector insulation shell; First contact site is from the ora terminalis extension setting of described holding parts; Second contact site, extend from another ora terminalis of described holding parts, it comprises that a bending cranks arm and can guide the guiding contact zone that electric connector beyond this electric connector forms electricity and Mechanical Contact, and the end of cranking arm of described terminal connects holding parts, and the other end connects the guiding contact zone.

According to These characteristics, the terminal of electrical connection provided by the utility model comprises: holding parts, and the described terminal of fixing is in electric connector; First contact site is from the setting that stretches out of an ora terminalis of described holding parts; Crank arm, bend an angle and stretch out from another ora terminalis of described holding parts; Second contact site extends setting from described cranking arm, and also is provided with on it and can guides the guiding contact zone that this electric connector electric connector in addition forms electricity and Mechanical Contact.

The advantage of the utility model device is that it is provided with multi-faceted terminal slots and has is with flexible terminal, make the multi-direction grafting of butt connector energy, and it is firm, easy to use to peg graft.

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, describe embodiment of the present utility model in detail, wherein:
