[technical field]

The utility model relates to a kind of electric connector, refers in particular to a kind of electric connector that is used to accommodate electronic cards.

[background technology]

Along with communication and development of computer, the application of electronic cards more and more widely, the electric connector that therefore is used to connect electronic cards is just used and is given birth to.The extraction of electronic cards for convenience, a lot of corresponding electric connectors all are provided with trip mechanism, and these trip mechanisms generally are provided with the support column of spring and fixing spring.General support column is common column structure; be difficult for skew taking place even coming off in the time of can making spring work on the support column by spring is placed in; but spring in the course of the work the time regular meeting give horizontal side force of support column; if support column inadequately firmly and be subjected to that bigger external force just might fracture or bending; cause spring to break away from original position, thereby cause whole trip mechanism to lose efficacy.

As European patent EP 1174957 described electronic card couplers, with reference to this patent Fig. 1, it is provided with spring 45 and column 44.This column 44 is contained in and plays the fixing effect in the spring 45, and spring 45 can not moved up at right and left, guarantees that it can not break away from original position in the course of the work.Yet the easy in the course of the work double swerve of spring 45, will give 44 1 side force of column this moment, very easily causes fractureing when column 44 frequently is subjected to this side force or bending.

Therefore, necessary existing electric connector is improved to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages of prior art.

[utility model content]

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of electric connector, can effectively realize reinforcing the support column of fixing spring.

The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: the utility model has disclosed a kind of electric connector, in order to accommodate an electronic cards, it comprises insulating body, is contained in the interior conducting terminal of insulating body, hides metal shell and trip mechanism on insulating body, the common receiving space of accommodating electronic cards that forms of insulating body and metal shell, trip mechanism is installed on the insulating body, it is provided with the support column of spring and fixing spring, wherein support column is provided with embedded ribs, by this ribs, can be so that support column be more firm.

Compared with prior art, the utility model electric connector is by being provided with embedded ribs on the support column of fixing spring, realized reinforcing, fractureed when preventing to be subjected to the spring side force or crooked, thereby guaranteed the operate as normal of whole trip mechanism because of support column to support column.
