[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of an example of a conventional connector with a guide, and FIG. 5 is a view showing an assembled state of the connector of FIG. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in the conventional connector, a frame portion 60 for guiding a mating connector 50 in the direction of fitting / removing in the direction of arrow 51 and a number of conductive pin contacts 71 are aligned / aligned. And an electrically insulating insulator portion 70 to be held.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 4, a frame portion 60 includes a foot portion 61 provided on both sides of a bottom portion and guide portions 62 a and 62 provided on both sides for guiding a mating connector 50.
b and a coupling projection 63 for coupling to the insulator part
And

On the other hand, the insulator part 70 has a foot part 72 provided on both sides of the bottom part and a coupling concave part 73 provided near one end of a side surface 70a of the insulator part 70, and holds the pin contact 71.

As shown in FIG. 5, when a conventional connector is used, the insulator 70 is fixed on the substrate 80 because one end of the contact 71 is soldered on the substrate 80. Frame part 60 and insulator part 70
In order to assemble them, the connecting projection 63 of the frame section 60 is inserted from the front so as to enter the connecting recess 73 of the insulator section 70. At this time, the foot 61 of the frame 60
Moves back and forth in the form of rubbing on the substrate 80, and its trajectory is represented as shown by oblique lines 53 in FIG. Here, the bottom surface of the frame portion 60 other than the foot portion 61 is floating above the board 80, but since the foot portion 61 passes over the board at the time of assembling, it is impossible to mount components on the track. is there.

[0006]

In the above-described conventional connector with a guide, since the insulator and the frame are assembled by being inserted from the front, the foot of the frame moves on the board. It was not possible to install the components mounted on the board not only on the part where the board was installed, but also on its trajectory.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a connector with a guide capable of mounting components at a position other than a board mounting portion of a foot portion of a frame portion of the connector.

[0008]

A connector for coupling each other in a direction of said frame
The detachable and rotatable unit is attached to the insulator unit.
And the insulator section and the frame
A second end crossing in the first direction with one end of the
From above, rotate the frame part, and
A connector with a guide, wherein a connector for aligning the insulator and the frame in the first direction is provided.

According to the present invention, in the connector with a guide, the frame is provided on both sides of the insulator portion.
A horn is provided through a groove in which the
By the horn portion, the frame housed in the groove is
A connector with a guide characterized in that it is configured to be prevented from moving in both side directions, is obtained.

[0010]

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the insulator and the frame are assembled from above, the foot does not move back and forth while rubbing on the board. Mounting becomes possible.

[0012]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connector with a guide according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the connector with a guide of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an assembly of the connector shown in FIGS. It is a perspective view showing a state.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a guide connector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a groove in which an opening for guiding a mating connector 50 in the direction of the arrow 51 in the direction of fitting / removing is opposed. Frame 10 having guide portions 14a and 14b formed on both sides thereof, and a large number of conductive pin contacts 2
And an electrically insulating insulator portion 20 for keeping the alignment of the insulators 1.

As best shown in FIG. 2, the frame portion 10 is provided on a protruding piece 10a at one end on both sides and forms a part of a connector coupling portion for coupling with a coupling shaft 25 of the insulator portion 20. A coupling hole 11, a square concave portion 12 recessed from the outside from the center of the coupling hole 11 of the protruding piece 10 a, a foot portion 13 provided two on each side on one side of the frame portion 10, In order to guide the mating connector 50, there are provided guide portions 14a and 14b each having a U-shape on both sides on one surface side of the frame and formed of grooves provided so that their openings face each other.

The insulator section 20 includes a horn section 22 provided at one end of both sides, which is a plate piece protruding toward the upper surface in the figure, and a prismatic foot section 23 provided at four corners of the bottom surface. A recessed portion 26 provided near one end of each side of the insulator portion 20 and recessed inward from the side surface of the insulator portion 20, a groove portion 24 formed between the recessed portion 26 and the horn portion 22, and a center of the recessed portion 26. A coupling shaft 25 having a cylindrical shape protruding on both sides and forming another part of the connector coupling portion.
And one end of the pin contact 21 is aligned and held in the connector coupling direction. Although not shown, the contact 21 has another end opposite to the one end extending downward from the bottom of the insulator section 20 and protruding so as to be solderable to a substrate.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the connector 1 is used, the other end of the contact 21 is soldered on the board 2 and the insulator section 20 is fixed on the board 2.

In order to assemble the connector 1 from the frame 10 and the insulator 20, the connector 1 is connected to the coupling hole 11 of the frame 10 by passing the coupling shaft 25 of the insulator 20, and then the recess 12 of the frame 10 is The frame 10 is inserted into the groove 24 of the frame 20.
Is completed (see FIG. 1). Here, the horn portion 22 plays a role of preventing the opening of the frame portion 10 that has entered the groove portion 24. When the assembling is completed, the foot 13 is placed on the hatched portion 3 of the substrate, so that the frame 10
Is floated from above the substrate 2, and the space formed between the frame bottom and the substrate 2 by the feet 13
Electronic components 4 and 5, such as chip inductors and capacitors, can be mounted.

[0019]

As described above, in the present invention, the assembly of the insulator portion and the frame portion is performed through the connecting portion.
Te, by performing the above, while the foot is rubbed on the substrate, because it does not move back and forth, an effect that component mounting area on the substrate is enlarged.
