Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a connector, and in particular, when a plug connector is fitted into a socket connector, if a center displacement in the pitch direction occurs between the socket connector and the plug connector, the center displacement can be corrected. It is related to the connector.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The conventional connector of this type consists of a socket connector and a plug connector, and the upper surface of the cover in which the plug connector is covered with the plug connector is slid to engage the plug connector with the socket connector, and the electrical connection is made. Is configured to do.

Further, in order to prevent a contact failure between the terminals, for example, the dimensional accuracy at the time of assembling each part such as a car stereo main body, an operation panel, a connector and the like and the parts is improved.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional connector, in the set-fitting state, a center deviation in the pitch direction may occur at the time of fitting the connector due to variations in dimensional accuracy of the car stereo body and the operation panel. In such a case, this center shift may cause a short circuit between the terminals, or a contact failure may occur. Therefore, when the connectors are fitted together, even if there is a center shift in the pitch direction, there will be technical problems to be solved in order to prevent short-circuiting or poor contact between the terminals. Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problem.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] This invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and a cover having a large number of slits is provided on the upper surface of a mold body fitted with a socket terminal. Along with the lid mounting, the cover is pivotally provided with one end thereof pivotally supported by the mold body, and further, the socket connector formed so that the socket terminal can be exposed from the slit, and the socket terminal. A plug connector having a plug terminal facing each other, a guide is provided on the exposed side of the socket terminal and on both sides of the mold body of the socket connector, and the guide is provided on the inner surface of the guide. The outer surface of the plug connector can be fitted, and at least one of the upper part of the inner surface of the guide and the tip of the outer surface of the plug connector. There is provided cents a connector which is characterized in that a tape path surface and Hasuketsu.

[0006]

[Action]

 When the plug connector is to be fitted to the socket connector for electrical connection, it is achieved by fitting the outer surface of the plug connector to the guides protruding from both sides of the mold body of the socket connector. .. At this time, the outer surface of the plug connector is inserted by being guided by a tapered surface formed on at least one of the upper part of the inner surface of the guide and the tip of the outer surface of the plug connector, and fitted on the inner surface of the guide. Will be matched. Therefore, even when the insertion direction of the plug connector has a center deviation in the pitch direction, there is a certain clearance between the inner surface of the guide and the outer surface of the plug connector. Inside, the plug connector slides to one side to automatically correct the center deviation with respect to the socket connector, and the plug terminal of the plug connector and the socket terminal of the socket connector always maintain the necessary contact state. There is no short circuit between them.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a state in which a plug connector faces a socket connector, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the same. In the figure, the plug connector 1 is planted so that a large number of plug terminals 2, 2 ... Are exposed in the longitudinal direction (center direction) of the bottom surface of the resin mold body 1a, and the plug terminals 2, 2 ... The other end of the is projected on the upper surface and soldered to the wiring pattern of the substrate (not shown). Also, in the figure, the resin mold main body 1a is vertically stepped, and the stepped portion outer surfaces 1b, 1b are provided on a guide 4 protruding from the outer side of the mold main body 3a of the socket connector 3 described later. , 4 are fitted to the inner side surfaces 4a, 4a.

On the other hand, in the socket connector 3, the cover 5 is mounted on the upper surface of the mold body 3a of the socket connector 3, and the lower end portions of the left and right side plates 5a, 5a of the cover 5 are connected to the mold body 3a. It is pivotally supported by pins 6 and 6 on the side surface of the lower end of the. Therefore, the cover 5 is configured to be rotatable up and down with the pins 6 and 6 as pivotal fulcrums, and the spring 5 biases the cover 5 in the opening direction.

Therefore, a clearance L is provided between the outer side surfaces 1 b, 1 b of the lower step of the stepped portion of the plug connector 1 and the inner side surface 4 a of the guide 4. Further, in the mold body 3a, socket terminals 8, 8 ... Are exposed and arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface of the mold body 3a, and face the above-mentioned plug terminals 2, 2 ,. 2 and the socket terminals 8, 8 ... Can be brought into contact with each other. Of course, the other ends of the socket terminals 8, 8 ... Are projected downward and soldered to the wiring pattern of the substrate (not shown).

Further, slits 5b, 5b ... Are opened in the upper surface longitudinal direction of the cover 5 so as to face the socket terminals 8, 8 ..., and the cover 5 resists the bias of the spring 7. The socket terminals 8, 8 ... Can be exposed above the slits 5b, 5b ... When rotated to the mold body 3a side. Thus, in the guides 4 and 4 protrudingly provided on the outer side of the mold body 3a of the socket connector 3, the socket terminals 8, 8 ... Are exposed above the slits 5b, 5b. The cover side plates 5a and 5a are cut out at the portions of the guides 4 and 4 so that the cover 5 is provided on both sides of the guide 5 so as not to hinder the rotational movement thereof.

Further, the upper portions of the inner side surfaces 4a, 4a of the guides 4, 4 are obliquely cut to form tapered surfaces 4b, 4b. Therefore, the outer surfaces 1b, 1b of the lower step of the stepped portion of the resin mold body 1a of the plug connector 1 are first inserted by being guided by the tapered surfaces 4b, 4b, and inside the guides below the tapered surfaces 4b, 4b. It will be fitted to the side surfaces 4a, 4a. At this time, since there is a certain clearance L between the guide inner side surfaces 4a, 4a and the outer side surfaces 1b, 1b on the plug connector 1 side, the plug connector 1 is fitted into the socket connector 3. In this case, even if the plug connector 1 is misaligned in the pitch direction, it will be corrected within the clearance and they will be fitted at almost accurate positions. There will be no contact failure between them.

The present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it goes without saying that the invention extends to the modified version.

[Effect of the device]

 In this invention, when a plug connector and a socket connector are fitted to each other to form an electrical connection and a center deviation in the pitch direction occurs between the plug connector and the socket connector, a guide provided on the socket connector The inner surface guides and fits the outer surface of the resin mold body of the plug connector.In this case, the mating parts of the guides interfere with each other and are within the clearance of the mating part of the guide. The plug connector moves and the center shift is corrected, so that the contact between the plug terminal and the socket terminal or the phenomenon such as a short circuit does not occur, and the guide is attached to the mold body. Since it is provided, the strength is great, and since the center deviation is corrected as described above, there is no contact deviation between terminals even if the pitch is small. , It is possible to be reduced in size. Moreover, since the parts and the assembly precision do not require the strictness as in the past, the workability of assembling the car stereo etc. is improved and it contributes to the cost reduction. ..
