Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, a connector device that is surface-mounted on a substrate, and a circuit board including the connector device. Furthermore, this invention relates to an electronic device provided with the said connector apparatus.

  In the connector device, a structure in which a U-shaped portion is provided in the contact has been proposed in order to improve electrical connection between the contact portion and the mating connector device.

  For example, in a connector device having a structure in which a part of the mating connector device is inserted into the housing, the contact is provided with first and second U-shaped portions that are opposite to each other. The first and second U-shaped portions are provided to bend in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which a part of the mating connector device is inserted.

  When the contact is pressed against the mating connector device by inserting a part of the mating connector device into the housing, the first and second U-shaped portions are compressed and bent. By utilizing the elasticity of the first and second U-shaped portions, the electrical connection between the mating connector device and the contact portion of the contact becomes good (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The connector device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is mounted on the surface of a substrate. And the other party connector apparatus is inserted in a connector apparatus in the direction which goes to a board | substrate. Therefore, the first and second U-shaped portions bend in the direction along the surface of the substrate when the mating connector device is inserted.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-111873

  A part of the lead portion that is in electrical contact with the substrate at the contact comes out of the housing, for example, in order to improve the electrical connection with the substrate. If a part of the lead portion is out of the housing, when the housing is installed on the substrate, a part of the lead portion comes into contact with the substrate without being obstructed by the housing. Therefore, the electrical connection between the lead portion and the substrate is improved.

  However, if a part of the lead portion protrudes from the housing, it is conceivable that the contact is deflected when the housing is installed on the substrate. This point will be specifically described. For example, when the housing of the connector device is screwed onto the board, a force acts between the bottom surface of the housing and the surface of the circuit board in a direction in which they are in close contact with each other. This force acts on the contact so as to push a part of the lead portion coming out of the housing into the housing.

  As a result, the contact may be bent. When the contact bends, it is conceivable that the position of the contact portion changes as the contact posture changes.

  The first and second U-shaped portions of the connector device disclosed in Patent Document 1 are not formed so as to bend in the direction in which the lead portion is pushed into the housing.

  Therefore, even in the connector device disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is considered that the contact is deflected when mounted on the surface of the substrate, and the position of the contact portion changes.

  On the other hand, for example, in the case of a structure in which the direction in which the connector device is mounted on the board and the direction in which a part of the mating connector device is inserted into the housing intersect each other, the contact portion side and the lead portion side of the contact Then, the direction in which each extends is often different from each other.

  In this type of connector device, the contact is often supported in the vicinity of the intersection between the contact portion side and the lead portion side, and this supported portion is supported by the support portion of the housing. When the contact is pressed as described above, the position of the contact portion may change greatly with the support portion as a fulcrum.

  As described above, in any case, when the position of the contact portion changes, the electrical connection between the contact portion and the contact of the mating connector device may be defective. It is not preferable that the electrical connection between the contact portion and the contact of the mating connector device is poor.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to obtain a connector device that can avoid poor electrical connection between the lead portion and the second connection counterpart component.

  In order to achieve the above object, a connector device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a housing and a contact. The contact is a contact portion that is electrically connected to the first connection counterpart component, a lead portion that is pressed by the second connection counterpart component and is electrically connected to the second connection counterpart component, And a supported portion supported by the housing. The supported portion is pressed against the housing by the pressing force when the contact is pressed in a direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion. When the contact is pressed in a direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion, a bent portion is provided in the contact by the pressing force.

  In order to achieve the above object, a circuit board according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a connector device and a substrate body on which the connector device is mounted. The connector device is pressed by a housing, a contact portion electrically connected to the first connection counterpart component, and a second connection counterpart component, and is electrically connected to the second connection counterpart component. And a contact having a lead portion and a supported portion supported by the housing and accommodated in the housing. The supported portion is pressed against the housing by the pressing force when the contact is pressed in a direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion. When the contact is pressed in the direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion, the contact is provided with a bent portion that is bent by the pressing force.

  In order to achieve the above object, an electrical apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first housing and a connector device accommodated in the first housing. The connector device includes a second housing and a contact. The contact includes a contact portion that is electrically connected to the first connection counterpart component, a lead portion that is pressed by the second connection counterpart component and that is electrically connected to the second connection counterpart component, and And a supported portion supported by the second casing, and is accommodated in the second casing. The supported portion is pressed against the second casing by the pressing force when the contact is pressed in a direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion. When the contact is pressed in the direction from the second connection counterpart component toward the lead portion, the contact is provided with a bent portion that is bent by the pressing force.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to avoid an electrical connection failure between the lead portion and the second connection counterpart component.

  An electronic apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 by taking a portable computer 10 as an example.

  FIG. 1 shows a portable computer 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable computer 10 includes a computer main body 20 and a display unit 30.

  The computer main body 20 includes a first housing 21. The first housing 21 has a flat box shape.

  The display unit 30 includes a display unit housing 31 and a liquid crystal display panel 32. The liquid crystal display panel 32 is accommodated in the display unit housing 31. The liquid crystal display panel 32 has a screen 32a for displaying an image. The screen 32 a is exposed to the outside of the display unit housing 31 through an opening 31 a formed on the front surface of the display unit housing 31.

  The display unit housing 31 is supported on the rear end portion of the first housing 21 via a hinge (not shown). The display unit 30 is freely rotatable between a closed state and an open state. The closed state is a state in which the display unit 30 lies on the computer main body 20 so as to cover the keyboard 22 from above. The open state is a state in which the display unit 30 stands with respect to the computer main body 20 so as to expose the keyboard 22 and the screen 32a.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of a state in which a part of the first housing 21 is cut away from above when the display unit 30 is opened until it is substantially parallel to the computer main body 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a circuit board 40, a hard disk 50, a battery 60, and the like are accommodated in the first housing 21. The circuit board 40, the hard disk 50, and the battery 60 described above are examples of components housed in the first housing 21. The hard disk 50 is electrically connected to the circuit board 40.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the hard disk 50 and the circuit board 40 are disassembled. As shown in FIG. 3, the hard disk 50 is provided with a hard disk side connector device 51. The hard disk 50 and the hard disk side connector device 51 are electrically connected to each other.

  The hard disk side connector device 51 includes an insertion portion 52 that is inserted into a housing 71 of a connector device 70 described later. A contact 53 (partially shown in FIG. 6) is provided below the insertion portion 52. The contact 53 of the insertion portion 52 is an example of a first connection counterpart component referred to in the present invention.

  The circuit board 40 includes a board body 41 and a connector device 70. The connector device 70 is electrically connected to the board body 41. The connector device 70 of the present embodiment is a surface mount type that is mounted on the surface of the substrate body 41.

  The substrate body 41 is provided with contact portions 42 that are electrically connected to contacts 90 described later. The board body 41 is an example of a second connection counterpart component referred to in the present invention.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the connector device 70 and the board body 41 in an exploded state. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connector device 70 includes a housing 71 and a plurality of contacts 90 accommodated in the housing 71. As shown in FIG. 3, the contacts 90 are arranged along one direction. The housing 71 is a second casing referred to in the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the housing 71 includes, for example, a first member 73 and a second member 74.

  The first member 73 is located on the substrate body 41 side. A boss portion 75 for positioning the connector device 70 with respect to the board body 41 is provided below the first member 73. The boss portion 75 protrudes toward the substrate body 41. The board body 41 is formed with a fitting hole 43 into which the boss 75 is fitted.

  The second member 74 is fixed to the surface of the first member 73 opposite to the substrate body 41.

  The second member 74 has a first convex portion 76. The first protrusion 76 protrudes from the first member 73 in one direction substantially parallel to the substrate body 41. The first member 73 has a second convex portion 77. The second protrusion 77 protrudes from the second member 74 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the first protrusion 76 protrudes. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the housing 71 is L-shaped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the second member 74 and the first member 73 extend in the direction in which the contacts 90 are arranged. In FIG. 3, the connector device 70 is shown with a part cut away, but the shape of the housing 71 may be substantially symmetrical in the direction in which the contacts 90 are arranged.

  The first convex portion 76 of the second member 74 is provided with a first accommodating portion 78 that accommodates the insertion portion 52 of the hard disk side connector device 51, for example, substantially parallel to the substrate body 41. The first accommodating portion 78 opens in one direction substantially parallel to the direction in which the substrate body 41 spreads.

  In the housing 71, side walls 79 are provided at both ends in the direction in which the contacts 90 are arranged. In FIG. 3, a side wall 79 provided at one end of the housing 71 is shown, but a similar side wall 79 is provided at the opposite end.

  As shown in FIG. 4, each side wall 79 extends toward the substrate body 41 from the surface of the first member 73 that faces the surface 41 a of the substrate body 41. Further, the side wall 79 is set so that, for example, the shape seen from the side is larger than the contact 90.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, nuts 80 are provided outside the respective side wall portions 79 in the housing 71 as a structure for fixing the housing 71 to the circuit board 40. The nut 80 is fixed to the housing 71. As shown in FIG. 3, a through hole 82 through which a screw 81 passes is formed in the substrate body 41 corresponding to each nut 80. Each screw 81 is fastened to the corresponding nut 80 from the lower surface of the substrate body 41 through each through hole 82. As a result, the housing 71 is fixed to the substrate body 41 by the screws 81.

  Since each contact 90 may have the same shape, one contact 90 will be described as a representative.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the contact 90 is formed of, for example, a metal rod member.

  The contact 90 is formed in a substantially L shape that bends at a bent portion 91 corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the housing 71. One side of the contact 90 across the bent portion 91 is a first portion 92. The other side of the contact 90 across the bent portion 91 is a second portion 93.

  A lead portion 94 that is electrically connected to the contact portion 42 provided on the substrate body 41 is provided at the distal end portion of the first portion 92. The lead part 94 is tin-plated, for example.

  A contact portion 95 that is electrically connected to the hard disk side connector device 51 is provided on the distal end side of the second portion 93. The contact portion 95 is plated with gold, for example.

  A structure for assembling the contact 90 to the housing 71 will be described.

  A through hole 96 through which the first portion 92 of the contact 90 passes is formed in the second convex portion 77 of the first member 73. The through hole 96 extends substantially perpendicular to the substrate body 41 and penetrates the second convex portion 77. The size of the through hole 96 is, for example, a size in which the first portion 92 is substantially fitted. Therefore, the first portion 92 is supported by the first member 73 in a substantially vertical posture with respect to the substrate body 41 by accommodating the intermediate portion in the through hole 96.

  Note that the bent portion 91 protrudes outside the housing 71.

  In the second member 74, a second accommodating portion 100 that accommodates substantially the entire second portion 93 is formed. The second accommodating portion 100 is formed in a position avoiding the first accommodating portion 78 in the first convex portion 76. The second housing part 100 passes, for example, the substrate body 41 side of the first housing part 78, that is, the lower side in the figure. The second housing part 100 communicates with the first housing part 78.

  In the second member 74, a through hole 74b through which the second portion 93 passes is formed in the wall 74a on the second convex portion 77 side. The through hole 74 b communicates with the second housing part 100.

  The second portion 93 extends to the tip of the first convex portion 76 through the through hole 74 b and the second accommodating portion 100.

  A housing hole 101 for housing the tip of the second portion 93 is formed at the lower edge of the opening 78 a of the first housing portion 78. The distal end portion of the second portion 93 is accommodated in the accommodation hole 101. The accommodation hole 101 has such a size that the tip of the second portion 93 can move in the direction toward the substrate body 41.

  In the second member 74, a support structure for supporting the second portion 93 is provided around the through hole 74b. The support structure includes a lower edge portion 74c of the through hole 74b and an upper edge portion 74d of the through hole 74b.

  The upper edge portion 74d is provided at a position that enters the second member 74 more than the lower edge portion 74c. That is, the upper edge portion 74d and the lower edge portion 74c do not face each other. The upper edge portion 74d extends a predetermined distance toward the inside of the second member 74 substantially parallel to the substrate body 41. The second portion 93 is sandwiched and supported by the upper edge portion 74d and the lower edge portion 74c.

  In the second portion 93, a range supported by the lower edge portion 74c and the upper edge portion 74d is a supported portion 93a. The supported portion 93a extends substantially parallel to the substrate body 41, for example.

  In the second portion 93, the portion ahead of the supported portion 93 a is provided in the first accommodating portion 78 in order to improve electrical connection with the contact 53 provided in the insertion portion 52 of the hard disk side connector device 51. A bending structure is applied so that the insertion portion 52 is bent when the insertion portion 52 is inserted.

  Specifically, the portion of the second portion 93 that is ahead of the supported portion 93a is once bent downward and obliquely forward and extended a predetermined distance, and then bent forward and obliquely forward and extended a predetermined distance. When the second portion 93 is bent as described above, the second portion 93 has elasticity in a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate body 41. Therefore, the tip of the second portion 93 accommodated in the accommodation hole 101 is urged toward the upper surface of the accommodation hole 101.

  The contact portion 95 is curved in a substantially U shape so as to protrude into the first housing portion 78. A part of the contact portion 95 is in the first accommodating portion 78.

  With the above-described bending structure, the second portion 93 can be bent downward with the lower edge portion 74c of the through hole 74b as a fulcrum.

  In order to improve the electrical connection between the lead portion 94 and the contact portion 42 provided on the substrate body 41, a part of the lead portion 94 is, for example, closer to the substrate body 41 than the end surface 79a of the housing 71 on the substrate body 41 side. Out. By doing so, the lead portion 94 comes into contact with the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41 without being obstructed by the housing 71.

  Further, the connector device 70 is provided with a deflection absorbing structure that absorbs the deflection of the contact 90 that occurs when the connector device 70 is fixed to the board body 41.

  As the flexure absorbing structure, a flexure portion 103 is formed in the bent portion 91. Therefore, the flexible portion 103 is adjacent to the supported portion 93a. The flexible portion 103 is located above the second convex portion 77.

The flexible portion 103 is formed by the first portion 92 being curved. The flexible portion 103 is curved in a substantially U shape that opens toward the second portion 93 side. The upper side portion 103 a of the flexible portion 103 extends substantially parallel to the substrate body 41, and continues linearly to the supported portion 93 a of the second portion 93. That is, in the present embodiment, the flexible portion 103 also functions as the bent portion 91.

  Further, as the deflection absorbing structure, the first protrusion 92 has a first protrusion 92 on the side closer to the substrate body 41 than the portion supported by the second protrusion 77 so that the lead portion 94 is substantially parallel to the substrate body 41. It is formed in a shape bent twice toward the side opposite to the portion 76.

  In addition, as a deflection absorbing structure, a tapered portion 96a that gradually increases in diameter toward the upper side is formed on the upper portion of the through hole 96 formed in the second convex portion 77 of the first member 73. A gap is defined between the inner surface of the tapered portion 96 a and the first portion 92. Therefore, this gap becomes a deflection allowance of the first portion 92.

  Next, the operation of the connector device 70 will be described. First, an example of the assembly work of the connector device 70 to the board body 41 will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the positions of the boss portions 75 provided in the first member 73 and the fitting holes 43 formed in the substrate body 41 are aligned.

  Next, the connector device 70 is installed on the surface 41 a of the board body 41 so that the boss 75 is fitted in the fitting hole 43.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the housing 71 is fixed to the substrate body 41 with screws 81. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the connector device 70 fixed to the board body 41. As shown in FIG. 5, the screw 81 is tightened until the contact 90 is pressed upward by the contact of the lead portion 94 with the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41. For example, the screw 81 is tightened until the end surface 79 a of the side wall portion 79 contacts the surface 41 a of the substrate body 41.

  By doing so, the lead portion 94 and the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41 are in good contact with each other. When the connector device 70 is fixed to the board body 41, the lead part 94 and the contact part 42 of the board body 41 are soldered. Thereby, the connector device 70 is fixed to the board body 41 in a state where it is electrically connected to the board body 41.

  When the lead portion 94 is pressed, the first portion 92 is pushed up in the direction from the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41 indicated by A in the drawing toward the lead portion 94, that is, in the upward direction in the drawing.

  Therefore, the supported portion 93a is pressed against the upper edge portion 74d. Therefore, the pressing force acting on the contact 90 acts on the range from the lead portion 94 to the supported portion 93a. That is, the pressing force acts on the first portion 92. As a result, the first portion 92 bends as shown in the figure. In the figure, a two-dot chain line indicates the first portion 92 before being bent.

  As shown in the figure, the bending portion 103 bends in the direction A in which the pressing force acts. Moreover, the range accommodated in the taper part 96a in the 1st part 92 bends within the range of a bending allowance. Further, the vicinity of the lead portion 94 also bends in the direction A in which the pressing force acts.

  The pressing force acting on the contact 90 is mainly absorbed by the flexible portion 103. Therefore, the posture of the second portion 93 is suppressed from changing due to the pressing force. That is, as shown in the figure, the position P1 of the contact point 95 in the housing 71 does not change before and after the connector device 70 is fixed to the board body 41.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the insertion portion 52 of the hard disk side connector device 51 is inserted into the first housing portion 78. As shown in FIG. 6, when the insertion portion 52 is inserted into the first accommodating portion 78, the second portion 93 is brought into contact with the contact 53 provided in the insertion portion 52, so that Pressed downward. Therefore, the second portion 93 bends downward.

  The elastic force of the second portion 93 generated in a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate body 41 acts so as to bring the contact portion 95 and the contact 53 of the insertion portion 52 into close contact with each other. Therefore, the contact part 95 and the contact 53 provided in the insertion part 52 are in good contact.

  In the portable computer 10 configured as described above, when the connector device 70 is fixed to the board body 41, the bending portion 103 is bent, so that the change in the position P1 of the contact portion 95 with respect to the housing 71 is suppressed.

  Therefore, a change in the position P1 of the contact portion 95 is suppressed while maintaining good electrical connection between the lead portion 94 and the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41. Therefore, the electrical connection between the contact 53 of the hard disk side connector device 51 and the contact portion 95 does not become defective, for example, when the position P1 of the contact portion 95 changes to the board body 41 side. Therefore, the electrical connection between the contact 53 and the contact portion 95 of the hard disk side connector device 51 is maintained in a good state.

  The supported portion 93a is formed between the contact portion 95 and the lead portion 94, and the flexible portion 103 is formed between the lead portion 94 and the supported portion 93a.

  With this structure, the pressing force acting from the contact portion 42 of the substrate body 41 toward the lead portion 94 acts so as to press the supported portion 93a against the upper edge portion 74d. The portion 92 is acted on.

  Therefore, since the pressing force is less likely to act on the second portion 93, the influence on the contact portion 95 due to the pressing force is suppressed.

  Moreover, the bending part 103 is a substantially U shape, for example, Comprising: It is the shape opened in one direction. Therefore, the bending portion 103 is easily bent. Therefore, the pressing force acting on the contact 90 is effectively absorbed by the flexible portion 103. As a result, the position change of the position P1 of the contact part 95 is suppressed.

  In addition, the opening 103 b of the flexible portion 103 is open in the direction B toward the second portion 93. The direction B is substantially parallel to the substrate body 41. Therefore, the direction in which the opening 103b opens and the direction A in which the pressing force acting on the contact 90 acts intersect each other by approximately 90 °.

  Thus, when the direction in which the opening 103 b opens and the direction A of the pressing force acting on the contact 90 intersect, the bending portion 103 is easily bent. Therefore, the bending portion 103 bends effectively.

  Further, when the direction in which the opening 103b opens and the direction A of the pressing force acting on the contact 90 intersect each other by approximately 90 °, the bending portion 103 is effectively bent.

  Further, since the bending portion 103 is adjacent to the supported portion 93 a, the pressing force acting on the contact 90 is absorbed not only in the bending portion 103 but also in the range from the lead portion 94 to the bending portion 103. If it demonstrates concretely, the range accommodated in the circumference | surroundings of the lead part 94 and the taper part 96a will bend according to pressing force.

  Even in the present embodiment, the bending portion 103 absorbs the pressing force by bending. Therefore, the change in the position P1 of the contact portion 95 with respect to the housing 71 is suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the bending part 103 of this embodiment is not formed in the position adjacent to the supported part 93a. The flexible portion 103 is away from the bent portion 91 and is formed in the vicinity of the lead portion 94.

  Even in the present embodiment, the bending portion 103 absorbs the pressing force by bending. Therefore, the change in the position P1 of the contact portion 95 with respect to the housing 71 is suppressed.

  Next, a portable computer 10 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the structure which has a function similar to 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.

  The first bending portion 200 is located on the lead portion 94 side. The first bending portion 200 has, for example, a substantially U shape having an opening 200a that opens in the direction B. The third bending portion 202 is adjacent to the supported portion 93a. The third bending portion 202 has substantially the same shape as the first bending portion 200. The third bending portion 202 has an opening 202a. The second bending portion 201 is positioned between the first bending portion 200 and the third bending portion 202 and is adjacent to the first and second bending portions 200 and 202. The second bending portion 201 is substantially U-shaped having an opening 201 a that opens in a direction D that is opposite to the direction B.

  In the present embodiment, the third flexible portion 202 also functions as the bent portion 91.

  Even in the present embodiment, the bending portion 103 absorbs the pressing force by bending. Furthermore, since the bending part 103 has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd bending parts 200, 201, 202, the pressing force is effectively absorbed. Therefore, the change in the position P1 of the contact portion 95 with respect to the housing 71 is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the flexible portion 103a has three curved portions. However, the number of curved portions is not limited to three. For example, three or four curved portions may be formed.

  In the second embodiment, the flexible portion 103 is adjacent to the supported portion 93a, but is not limited to this. As shown in the fourth embodiment, the flexible portion 103 of the second embodiment may not be adjacent to the supported portion 93a.

  In the first to fifth embodiments, a part of the lead portion 94 protrudes from the housing 71, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a part of the lead part 94 may protrude from the housing 71, and a part of the contact part 42 of the substrate body 41 may protrude into the housing 71.

  When the housing 71 is fixed to the substrate body 41 by projecting the shape of the contact portion 42 as described above, the lead portion 94 is pressed by the contact portion 42. Therefore, the electrical connection between the lead portion 94 and the contact portion 42 is improved.
