Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connector used in switching devices, electronic devices, and the like.

Conventionally, in the case of this type of connector mounted on various devices, when the connector was removed from the device, it was often necessary to use a connector removal tool or use a removal tab provided on the connector.

However, with the conventional method, it is cumbersome to use an extraction tool and it is necessary to prepare a special tool, and the extraction tab provided on the connector has a large shape and is fixedly attached to the connector. This has the disadvantage that the shape of the connector becomes large.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.The pull-out tab of the connector is usually sunk and housed in the cover of the connector, and when the connector is removed from the device, the pull-out tab must be raised to remove the connector. It can now be used as a pull-out tab.

That is, in a connector consisting of a cable connection connector and a cover for accommodating the connector, a rotatable tab for pulling out the connector is provided on the surface of the cover on the side that is not opened, and this tab for pulling out the connector is usually In the state, it is characterized by being sunk into the cover so as to match the surface of the cover.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the connector according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the same embodiment.

Furthermore, FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the pull-out tab raised from the cover.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a connector assembly with a cable, and 2 is a cover having a pull-out window 4 for accommodating a pull-out tab 3.

Here, the cover 2 and the pull-out tab 3 are a shaft hole 6 provided in the ear portion 5 of the tab 3 and a shaft hole 7 provided in the cover 2.
It is assembled by passing the shaft 8 through it.

The pull-out tab 3, which is not attached to the cover 2, is accommodated in the pull-out window 4 so as to sink below the surface of the cover 2, as clearly shown in FIG.

At this time, in order to prevent the pull-out tab 3 from falling into the cover 2, the pull-out window portion 4 is provided with a tongue portion 4a that comes into contact with the tab 3.

Next, the connector assembly 1 with cable and the cover 2 are assembled integrally by inserting the protrusion 9 provided on the side surface of the connector assembly 1 into the square hole 10 provided on the side surface of the cover 2.

Furthermore, FIG. 3 shows a diagram in which the pull-out tab 3 is raised from the pull-out window 4 of the cover 2, and the pull-out tab 3 is rotatable in the direction of arrow A via the shaft 8.

Note that whether the connector assembly 1 has a female or male connector configuration may be appropriately selected depending on the state of the device to be mounted.

For example, when the device side is received by a male connector, the connector assembly 1 has a male connector configuration.

Next, the operation of attaching and detaching the above-described connector to and from the device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Contact pin 11 of receiving connector 11 arranged on the device side
The contact portion of the connector assembly 1 (this structure is well known and is not particularly shown) is opposed to the array surface a, and the connector assembly 1 is fitted by advancing in the direction of the arrow.

At this time, the pull-out tab 3 is housed in the pull-out window 4 formed in the top surface of the cover 2 (see FIG. 4).

To remove this connector from the receiving connector 11, as shown in FIG. 5, first pull out the pull-out tab 3 in the direction of arrow B, hold it, and pull it in the direction of arrow C.

According to the present invention, as explained above, the connector pull-out tab is rotatably attached to the connector cover, and when the connector is removed from the device, it is raised and used as a pull-out tab. It is very convenient to remove and does not require a removal tool.

Further, since the pull-out tab is usually sunk deeper into the surface of the cover, the connector can be made smaller and has an improved appearance.
