JPH01161683A - Connector equipped with shutter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a device compact and simple by forming a box-shaped connector and disposing a shutter. CONSTITUTION:A shutter 2 which covers a front of a connector 1 is pressed outwardly by a spring 3, and a tip of a connector pin 4 is bent in an L shape and projected downward to be inserted into a through hole of a printed plate 9. Next the connector 1 is mounted on the printed plate 9 and incorporated into a device. When a memory card 12 with a socket 13 is inserted, the shutter 2 is pushed upward on the inside upper part. When the memory card 12 is drawn out on the contrary, the shutter 2 is returned to an original position to protect the pin 4 from dust on the outer part. Hence, a cover or the like is not required to be mounted on a side of the device, so that the device can be made compact and simple.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a connector with a shutter, and more particularly to a connector with a shutter that has a shutter that is opened only when an external unit is connected.

[Conventional technology]

In order to insert a memory card into an electronic device such as a portable PC programming device, it is necessary to provide a special cover on the box of the PC programming device to protect the connector from external dust.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with portable PC programming devices, etc., the overall shape needs to be more compact, and it is difficult to provide a special lid etc. to the box, and even if it is attached, the overall shape of the device will become larger. The problem is that this makes it unsuitable for portable use.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a connector with a shutter that is opened only when an external unit is connected.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has connection terminals inside an integrally constructed box, and has shutters pushed outward by spring materials on the front surfaces of several boxes. By a unit having a terminal on the other side of the connection terminal,
There is provided a connector with a shutter, characterized in that it is configured to be pushed into the inside of the box shape.

[Effect]

The connector body becomes a box and has a shutter, so if this connector is mounted on a printed board etc. and built into an electronic device such as a portable PC programming device, there is no need to provide a lid etc. on the device side, and the shape of the device can be changed. can be made small and simple in structure.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a front view of a connector with a shutter according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a connector main body, and 2 is a shutter that covers the front surface of the connector 1. The shutter 2 is pressed from the inside to the outside by a spring 3. 4 is a pin of the connector, the tip of which is bent into an L shape, protrudes from the bottom, and is inserted into a through hole in the printed board.

5 to 8 are pins for fixing the connector to the printed board.

FIG. 1 shows a sectional view taken along arrow A in FIG. 2. As in FIG. 2, 1 is the connector body, 2 is a shutter, and is pushed outward by a spring 3. 4 is a pin. 9 is a printed board, the connector is mounted on this printed board 9,
incorporated into the device.

Here, the device is a portable PC program creation device.

11 is an outer box of the PC program creation device, 12 is a memory card, and the memory card 12 has a socket 13.
When the memory card 12 is inserted, the shutter 2
is pushed up to the inner upper part. Conversely, when the memory card 12 is removed, the shutter 2 returns to its original position and protects the pins 4 from external dust.

14 and 15 are gaskets that prevent dust from entering inside. Of course, the structure of the connector main body 1 may be configured to be coupled to the outer box 11 in a sealed manner without using such a packing.

In the above explanation, the device is a portable PC program creation device, and the other unit is a memory card, but the shutter-equipped connector of the present invention can be similarly used for other small electronic devices. It is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, the connector is box-shaped and the shutter is provided, so there is no need to provide a mechanism such as a lid on a small electronic device, and the device can be miniaturized and have a simple configuration. .
