Description

  The present invention has a fixed housing fixed to a substrate and a movable housing that fits into the mating connector, and the movable housing is configured to be movable with respect to the fixed housing. The present invention relates to a floating connector configured so that even when there is a positional shift between substrates on which connectors are fitted during fitting, the connectors can be securely fitted together by absorbing this.

  A so-called floating type connector has, for example, a fixed-side housing fixed to a board and a movable-side housing having a fitting portion that fits with a mating connector, and a contact is formed between the fixed-side housing and the movable-side housing. It is configured to be held across both. Since the movable housing can move relative to the fixed housing by the elastic force of the contact, when mating with the mating connector, the movable housing is placed between the board with the floating connector and the board with the mating connector. Even when there is a position shift, the position shift is absorbed by the movement of the movable housing so that it can be easily fitted to the mating connector (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-265742 A

  However, in the floating type connector as shown in Patent Document 1, when an extremely large external force is applied to the movable housing, for example, in the fitting direction with the mating connector, the contact is movable beyond the range in which the contact can be elastically deformed. The side housing may be moved. If it does so, the contact deform | transformed plastically and the subject that the position of the movable side housing with respect to the stationary side housing in the state in which the other party connector is not fitted changed occurred.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a floating connector that can prevent plastic deformation of a contact by restricting excessive movement of a movable housing.

  In order to achieve the above object, the floating connector according to the present invention (for example, the receptacle connector 1 in the embodiment) is formed with a fitting portion (for example, the receiving recess 26 in the embodiment) for fitting with the counterpart connector. A movable housing having electrical insulation; a stationary housing having electrical insulation while movably receiving the movable housing; and a plurality of contacts attached across the stationary housing and the movable housing. Each of the contacts is fixed to the fixed-side housing at one end side and exposed to the outside of the fixed-side housing, and the movable side at the other end side. Fixed to the housing and positioned at the mating portion A contact part that can contact the contact of the connector, and an intermediate part that connects the lead part and the contact part and is elastically deformable (for example, the inner contact part 33, the bent part 34, the outer part in the embodiment) And the intermediate portion is elastically deformed in a state where the contact is mounted across the fixed housing and the movable housing, thereby moving the movable side relative to the fixed housing. A movement restricting member (for example, a movement restricting metal fitting 40 in the embodiment) which is movable to the fixed side housing and restricts movement of the movable side housing with respect to the fixed side housing exceeding a predetermined movement amount is attached. The movement restricting member is provided with a slit-like press-fitting space (for example, in the embodiment) formed in the fixed-side housing. A press-fitting portion that is press-fitted into the press-fitting groove 18a) and is engaged with the press-fitting portion, and the press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the press-fitting space and attached to the stationary housing. And a movement restricting portion that is positioned opposite to the movable housing in the fitting direction with the mating connector and restricts the movable housing from moving in the fitting direction beyond the predetermined movement amount. It is provided with.

  In the above-described floating connector, it is preferable that the movement restricting member includes a pair of leg portions that are connected to the press-fit portion and are provided in pairs on the side of the press-fit portion and fixed to the board.

  Further, the pair of leg portions are formed substantially parallel to the press-fit portion, and are fitted into a guide groove formed in the fixed-side housing so as to extend in the fitting direction, so that the press-fit portion is inserted into the press-fit space. It is preferable to be configured to serve as a guide when being press-fitted.

  In the floating connector described above, an accommodation recess capable of accommodating the movement restriction portion is formed in a portion of the movable housing facing the movement restriction portion, and the movement restriction portion is located in the accommodation depression. It is preferable that the movement of the movable housing is restricted even in a plane orthogonal to the fitting direction by contacting the side surface of the housing recess.

  In the floating connector according to the present invention, the movement restricting member attached to the fixed housing is opposed to the press-fitting portion that is locked in the slit-like press-fitting space, and the movable housing is opposed to the mating connector. And a movement restricting portion that restricts the movable housing from moving beyond a predetermined movement amount in the fitting direction. With this configuration, the movable housing and the movement restricting portion are brought into contact with each other by, for example, configuring the distance between the movable housing and the movement restricting portion to be smaller than the maximum deformation amount at which the contact can be elastically deformed. Thus, excessive movement of the movable housing in the fitting direction is restricted, and plastic deformation of the contacts can be prevented.

  In the above-described floating connector, it is preferable that the movement restricting member includes a pair of leg portions that are provided in pairs on the side of the press-fit portion and are fixed to the substrate. In such a configuration, the movement restricting member is firmly fixed to the substrate by the leg portion in addition to being locked to the fixed side housing by the press-fitting portion, so that a large external force acts on the movable side housing and is moved. Even in this case, excessive movement of the movable housing can be reliably restricted against this external force.

  Further, it is preferable that the pair of leg portions are configured to serve as a guide when the press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the press-fitting space by fitting into a guide groove formed in the fixed-side housing. In the case of this structure, the guide function of the pair of leg portions allows the press-fit portion to be press-fitted straight into the press-fit space in the fitting direction, and the press-fit portion is securely locked in the press-fit space to thereby restrict the movement. Can be firmly attached to the stationary housing.

  In the floating connector described above, a configuration in which an accommodation recess capable of accommodating the movement restricting portion is formed in a portion facing the movement restricting portion in the movable housing is preferable. In the case of this configuration, the movement restricting portion is positioned in the accommodating recess, and the side surface of the movement restricting portion and the side surface of the accommodating recess are in contact with each other, so that the movement of the movable housing can be performed even in the plane orthogonal to the fitting direction. Can be regulated.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the stationary housing 10 has a substantially rectangular shape extending in the front-rear direction, and is formed using a resin having electrical insulation. The fixed housing 10 includes left and right walls 11, 11 extending in the front-rear direction, and front and rear walls 12, 12 formed higher above the left and right walls 11, 11 at the front and rear ends of the left and right walls 11, 11 and extending in the left-right direction. And the left and right walls 11, 11 and the flat bottom 13 connected to the lower ends of the front and rear walls 12, 12 are formed in a substantially box shape as a whole. The fixed housing 10 is formed with a movable housing housing space 14 that is surrounded by the left and right walls 11, 11, the front and rear walls 12, 12 and the bottom portion 13 and is opened upward.

  On the left and right outer surfaces of the left and right walls 11, 11, a plurality of contact holding grooves 11a (see FIG. 5A) that are formed to extend in the vertical direction and hold the contacts 30 are provided side by side. Formed on the front and rear outer surfaces of the front and rear walls 12 and 12 are a flat metal fitting holding portion 18 and a pair of connecting portions 19 and 19 that connect the front and rear wall 12 and the metal fitting holding portion 18. Of the gap in the front-rear direction formed by the front-rear wall 12 and the metal fitting holding part 18, the region formed between the pair of connection parts 19, 19 is formed on the left and right outer sides of the press-fit groove 18 a and the connection part 19. The area | region becomes the guide groove 18b, and each is extended and formed (refer FIG.5 (b)).

  Further, a positioning projection 15 for positioning the substrate is formed on the lower surface side of the bottom portion 13 so as to protrude downward. Note that the fixed housing 10 may have a configuration in which the movable housing housing space 14 is vertically penetrated without the bottom 13 instead of the configuration having the bottom 13.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the movable housing 20 has a substantially rectangular shape extending in the front-rear direction, and is molded using a resin having electrical insulation. The movable-side housing 20 includes a base 21 formed in a rectangular frame shape, a central protrusion 22 having a rectangular shape in a bottom view and extending downward from the inner edge of the base 21 and extending in the front-rear direction, and left and right ends of the base 21 And an outer restricting wall 25 that protrudes downward and extends in the front-rear direction. On the upper surface of the front and rear end portions of the base portion 21, a step portion 21 a that extends to the left and right is formed.

  The central projecting portion 22 includes an inner regulating wall 22a that projects downward from the inner edge of the frame of the base portion 21 and extends in the front-rear and left-right directions, and a flat central bottom portion 23 that is connected to the lower end of the inner regulating wall 22a. . On the upper surface side of the central projecting portion 22, a receiving concave portion 26 is formed extending forward and backward, surrounded by the left and right inner surfaces of the inner regulating wall 22 a and the upper surface of the central bottom portion 23 and opened upward. Further, a plate-like fitting protrusion 24 is formed on the upper surface of the central bottom 23 so as to protrude upward and extend back and forth, and this fitting protrusion 24 is positioned in the receiving recess 26.

  Further, the left and right outer sides of the central projecting portion 22 are surrounded by the lower surface of the base portion 21, the left and right outer surfaces of the inner regulating wall 22a, and the left and right inner surfaces of the outer regulating wall 25, respectively, and are opened downward. A contact accommodating space 27 is formed (see FIG. 7A). On the left and right side surfaces of the fitting protrusion 24, as shown in FIG. 7B, a plurality of contact receiving grooves 24a penetrating vertically are formed side by side.

  The contact 30 is formed by, for example, punching an elastically deformable conductive metal plate into a wire shape, and then bending it into a predetermined shape as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C. The contact 30 includes a contact portion 31 that extends vertically, an inner base portion 32 in which a lower end portion of the contact portion 31 is bent substantially at right angles in the left-right direction, and an inner portion in which an end portion of the inner base portion 32 is bent obliquely upward. The contact portion 33, the bent portion 34 that can be elastically deformed by bending the upper end portion of the inner contact portion 33 into an inverted U shape, the outer contact portion 35 that is connected to the bent portion 34 and extends downward, and the outer contact portion An outer base 36 in which the lower end portion of the contact portion 35 is bent in the left-right direction, a fixed-side held portion 37 in which an end portion of the outer base portion 36 is bent substantially perpendicularly downward, and a fixed-side held portion 37 And a lead portion 38 having a lower end portion bent at a substantially right angle in the left-right direction. The contact portion 31 is formed with a movable side locking portion 31a having a partially expanded front / rear width, and the fixed side held portion 37 has a fixed side locking portion 37a having a partially expanded front / rear width. Is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the movement restricting metal fitting 40 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape as a whole by punching and bending a flat metal plate using, for example, a press die. The movement restricting bracket 40 includes a flat plate-like connecting portion 41, a pair of left and right leg portions 42 extending downward from the left and right end portions of the connecting portion 41, and a mounting portion that protrudes left and right from the lower end portion of the leg portion 42. 43, a press-fit portion 44 extending downward from the left and right central portion of the connecting portion 41, and a movement restricting portion 45 having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view in which the upper end portion of the connecting portion 41 is bent at substantially right angles in the front and rear sides. Is done. A plurality of locking protrusions 44 a are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the press-fit portion 44 to protrude in the left-right direction.

  In this way, since the movement restricting bracket 40 can be formed by punching all the other parts except that the movement restricting portion 45 is formed by bending, an inexpensive press mold with a reduced bending process is used. Since it can manufacture, the manufacturing cost of the movement control metal fitting 40 can be reduced significantly. In addition, the movement restricting metal fitting 40 is formed on the same plane except for the movement restricting portion 45, and has a substantially flat plate shape as a whole. Therefore, handling such as storage and transportation is easy.

  So far, the configuration of the receptacle connector 1 has been described. Next, the assembly configuration of the receptacle connector 1 will be described.

  First, the contact 30 is attached to the movable housing 20. At this time, the contact portion 31 of the contact 30 is inserted into the contact housing groove 24a of the movable housing 20 from the lower side, and the movable side locking portion 31a is locked to the contact housing groove 24a. A contact 30 is attached to 20. Then, the contact portion 31 is exposed on the left and right side surfaces of the fitting protrusion 24 in the movable housing 20, and the inner contact portion 33, the bent portion 34, and the outer contact portion 35 of the contact 30 are accommodated in the contact accommodating space 27. (See FIG. 3).

  Next, the movable housing 20 to which the contacts 30 are attached is attached to the fixed housing 10. At this time, the fixed-side held portion 37 of the contact 30 is inserted into the contact-holding groove 11a of the fixed-side housing 10 from above, and the fixed-side locking portion 37a is locked to the contact-holding groove 11a. The movable side housing 20 is attached to the fixed side housing 10 (see FIG. 3). By doing so, the inner abutment portion 33, the bent portion 34, and the outer abutment portion 35 are elastically deformed in the contact accommodating space 27, so that the movable side housing 20 is front and rear, left and right and It can move up and down.

  Subsequently, the movement restricting bracket 40 is attached to the stationary housing 10. At this time, by inserting the pair of leg portions 42 into the guide grooves 18b and inserting them vertically, the press-fit portions 44 extending in parallel with the leg portions 42 are pressed into the press-fit grooves 18a up and down. Here, since the pair of legs 42 functions as a guide when the press-fit portion 44 is press-fitted into the press-fit groove 18a, the positional accuracy of the press-fit portion 44 with respect to the press-fit groove 18a is ensured and the press-fit groove 18a. The press-fit portion 44 can be inserted straight up and down.

  By doing so, the locking protrusion 44a formed in the press-fit portion 44 is locked in the press-fit groove 18a, and the movement restricting metal fitting 40 is firmly fixed to the fixed-side housing 10, and the step portion of the movable-side housing 20 is provided. 21a and the movement restricting portion 45 of the movement restricting metal fitting 40 are in a state of facing each other up and down at a predetermined interval. Thus, since the receptacle connector 1 is configured to insert and attach the flat plate portion of the movement restricting fitting 40 to the slit-like press-fitting groove 18a and the guide groove 18b, the receptacle connector 1 is configured to include the movement restricting fitting 40. It is downsized in the front-rear direction.

  Subsequently, the receptacle connector 1 is positioned and placed on the board by inserting the positioning projection 15 formed on the stationary housing 10 into a positioning hole (not shown) formed on the board. Then, for example, by heating in a reflow furnace, the mounting portion 43 of the movement restricting metal fitting 40 and the mounting pattern (not shown) on the substrate, the lead portion 38 of the contact 30 and the wiring pattern (not shown) on the substrate, Are joined by soldering. In this way, in addition to the connection between the lead portion 38 of the contact 30 and the wiring pattern on the substrate, the receptacle connector 1 (fixed to the substrate) is coupled to the mounting portion 43 of the movement restricting bracket 40 and the mounting pattern on the substrate. The side housing 10) is fixed more firmly.

  In the receptacle connector 1 fixed to the substrate in this manner, the movable housing 20 can be moved back and forth, left and right and up and down with respect to the fixed housing 10 by elastically deforming part of the contacts 30 as described above. It has become. Therefore, for example, even when the mating connector is fitted in the receiving recess 26 in a state where there is a positional deviation between the board on which the receptacle connector 1 is fixed and the board on which the mating connector is fixed, this position Since the movable housing 20 is moved in the direction of absorbing the deviation, the receptacle connector 1 and the mating connector can be reliably fitted. As a result, the contact portion 31 of the contact 30 and the contact of the mating connector can be elastically contacted, and the electrical connection state can be stably maintained.

  So far, the assembly configuration of the receptacle connector 1 has been described. Next, the configuration of the receptacle connector 1 that restricts the movement exceeding the predetermined movement amount while allowing the movement of the movable housing 20 with respect to the fixed housing 10 within the predetermined movement amount will be described. The predetermined movement amount is the maximum deformation amount that the contact 30 can be elastically deformed, and this also applies to the claims.

  For example, when the mating connector fitted to the movable housing 20 is removed from the movable housing 20, the mating connector may be manipulated to the left and right in such a way as to be twisted. In such a case, in FIG. 3, the inner contact portion 33, the bent portion 34, and the outer contact portion 35 start from the connection portion between the outer contact portion 35 and the outer base portion 36. It is elastically deformed so as to approach the wall 25. When elastically deformed so as to approach the inner restricting wall 22a, the inner contact portion 33 contacts the inner restricting wall 22a, whereas when elastically deformed so as to approach the outer restricting wall 25, the outer contact The contact portion 35 abuts on the outer regulation wall 25, so that the excessive movement of the movable housing 20 such that the contact 30 is plastically deformed can be regulated.

  When the counterpart connector is operated vertically (in the fitting direction) in addition to the above-described left / right operation, the movable housing 20 may be pulled upward together with the counterpart connector. In such a case, in FIG. 2, the movement restricting portion 45 of the movement restricting metal fitting 40 abuts on the stepped portion 21 a of the movable side housing 20, thereby restricting the movable side housing 20 from being moved further upward. Thus, the excessive movement of the movable housing 20 such that the contact 30 is plastically deformed can be restricted. Further, since the movement restricting bracket 40 has the locking projection 44a locked in the press-fitting groove 18a and the mount portion 43 is fixed to the mounting pattern on the substrate by soldering, the movable housing can be moved with a large force. Even when a large external force acts on the movement restricting portion 45 by being pulled upward, the movement restricting metal fitting 40 is not detached from the fixed housing 10 and the movable housing 20 is reliably moved excessively. Can be regulated.

  In addition, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention is configured to restrict excessive movement of the movable housing 20 by using a movement restricting bracket 40 for firmly fixing the fixed housing 10 to the substrate. Therefore, for example, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by reducing the number of parts as compared with a configuration in which new parts are separately provided to restrict excessive movement of the movable housing 20. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide the above-mentioned new parts, the receptacle connector 1 can be configured more compactly.

  In the embodiment described above, the stepped portion 21a of the movable housing 20 and the movement restricting portion 45 of the movement restricting metal fitting 40 are vertically opposed to each other, and the movable restricting portion 45 causes the movable housing 20 to move up and down by a predetermined amount. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, an accommodation recess 121 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view capable of accommodating the movement restricting portion 45 is formed on the upper surface of the movable housing 120, and the movement restricting portion is placed in the accommodating recess 121 with a predetermined interval in the vertical direction A configuration in which 45 is accommodated is also possible.

  According to the configuration shown in FIG. 9, excessive movement of the movable housing 120 upward is restricted by the lower surface of the movement restricting portion 45 and the upper surface 122 in the housing recess 121 coming into contact with each other in the vertical direction. The front and rear side surfaces of the movement restricting portion 45 and the front and rear side surfaces 123 of the housing recess 121 are in contact with the front and rear, so that excessive movement of the movable housing 120 in the front and rear direction can be restricted. Excessive movement of the movable housing 120 to the left and right can be restricted by the left and right side surfaces 124 of the housing recess 121 coming into contact with the left and right sides.

  The receptacle connector 1 described in the above embodiment is an example to which the present invention is applied, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, when the movement restricting metal fitting 40 has a simple configuration mainly for restricting excessive movement of the movable housing 20, the leg portion 42 and the mount portion 43 are omitted, and the connecting portion 41 and the press fitting portion 44 are omitted. In addition, the movement restriction unit 45 may be configured. When configured in this manner, the movement restricting metal fitting is attached to the fixed housing 10 so that the press fitting portion 44 is press fitted into the press fitting groove 18 a and held, and the movement restricting portion 45 faces the upper surface of the movable housing 20. When the movable housing 20 is excessively moved upward and comes into contact with the movement restricting portion 45, the holding force for holding the press fitting portion 44 in the press fitting groove 18a restricts the movable side housing 20 from moving further upward. The plastic deformation of the contact 30 can be prevented. Further, by connecting the connecting portion between the leg portion 42 and the mount portion 43 in an arc shape or a chamfered shape, the connecting portion may be caught by the connecting portion 19 when the leg portion 42 is inserted vertically into the guide groove 18b. Since there is no, it can be inserted smoothly.
