Description

Connector {Connector}

The present invention relates to a connector.

Patent Document 1 is a conventional example of a connector that can be connected to a connection object (cable) of a thin plate shape.

The connector includes: a connection object detachable portion for detachably connecting a connection object; an insulator having a plurality of connector detachable portions extending in a detaching direction of the connection object and formed in a direction orthogonal to the detachment direction; And has a plurality of contacts.

Each of the contacts has two elastic arms (beams) formed in a direction parallel to the attaching / detaching direction of the connection object with respect to the connection / detachment opening of the connection object. Each elastic arm can be elastically deformed in a direction orthogonal to the thickness of the connection object, and the thickness direction of the two elastic arms is different from each other. A contact portion protrudes from the distal end of each elastic arm.

When the connection object having a plurality of terminals is inserted into the connection object attachment / detachment port of the insulator, each terminal of the connection object contacts each of the two contact portions while elastically deforming the two elastic arms of each contact.

When the connection object is inserted into the connection object attachment / detachment port, one of the contacts (the contact portion of the connection object in the escape direction with respect to the connection object attachment / detachment port) contacts the terminal first. When the connection object is further inserted in this state, the terminal is brought into contact with the contact portion of one side, and minute foreign matter (dust, dust, etc.) attached to the surface of the terminal is removed by the contact portion of the one side, (On the insertion direction side with respect to the connection object attachment / detachment port of the connection object). As a result, the terminals of the connection object and the contacts are reliably electrically connected.

Further, since each contact comes into contact with the terminal of the connection object at two points (two contact portions), even if the contact state of the contact with one contact portion of the contact is temporarily (momentarily) released by the vibration generated in the connector, There is a possibility that the contact state with the terminal of the terminal is maintained.

Therefore, the contact reliability is improved as compared with the case where each contact has only one contact portion.

JP Patent No. 4192203

Since the contacts of the connector are integrally molded from metal, when the terminals of the connection object come into contact with the elastic arms (the contact portions), and the elastic arms are elastically deformed, the stress generated in each elastic arm is transmitted to other portions of the contacts. That is, the stress generated in one elastic arm is transmitted to the base end (root portion) of the other elastic arm, and the stress generated in the other elastic arm is transmitted to the base end (root portion) of one elastic arm. Then, the proximal end portions of the elastic arms are slightly displaced (deformed) by the influence of the stress, and the distal end portions located at the distal ends of the respective elastic arms are unintentionally displaced minutely. As a result, the contact state between the terminal of the connection object and the contact portion of each resilient arm becomes unstable (the predetermined voltage can not be obtained), or the terminal of the connection object may not contact the contact portion of each resilient arm.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector in which contacts each inserted into each contact insertion port of an insulator have a plurality of elastic arms having contact portions and contact reliability of the contact portions of the respective elastic arms and the connection object is improved.

The connector of the present invention is characterized in that the connector includes an insulator detachably attached to a connection object moved along one direction and having a plurality of contact insertion ports formed in orthogonal directions orthogonal to the one direction and independent from each other, 1. A connector comprising a plurality of contacts each of which is inserted into each contact insertion port having a plurality of contacts, wherein the contacts are formed as separate bodies and are arranged in the orthogonal direction with respect to one another, And the contact portion includes an elastic arm extending in one direction so as to be elastically deformable, and the contact portion protruding from the elastic arm.

The contact portions of the contacts may be formed along the one direction.

The lengths of the respective elastic arms of the contacts in the one direction may be different from each other.

The adjacent contact constituent parts may be in contact with each other.

The contact portion may include a tail portion mounted on the circuit board.

Each contact of the connector of the present invention has a plurality of contact constituent parts which are formed separately from each other and inserted into one contact insertion port in a state of being aligned with each other. Each of the contact parts has an elastic arm capable of elastic deformation and a contact part protruding from the elastic arm.

Since one contact is constituted by a plurality of contact constituent parts which are mutually different, when the connecting object contacts the elastic arm of the one contact constituent part and the elastic arm is elastically deformed, the stress generated in the elastic arm is It does not reach other contact components. Therefore, the elastic arms of the other contact constituent parts are not inadvertently micro-displaced by the stress generated in the elastic arms. Therefore, the connection object can be brought into stable contact with (the contact portion of) the elastic arm of each contact constituent portion.

Therefore, as compared with the case where each contact is constituted by a single member, the contact reliability between the contact portion of each elastic arm and the connection object is hard to be lowered.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. Fig. In the following description, front, rear, left and right, and up and down directions refer to arrow directions in the drawing.

The connector 10 according to the present embodiment can be used for a variety of products such as industrial products (for example, automobiles, heavy equipment, factory automation, control and measuring devices) and consumer products such as personal computers ). The connector 10 can be mounted on the circuit board CB (rigid substrate) (see the virtual line in Fig. 1) embedded in the above-described items. The connector 10 mainly comprises an insulator 15, a contact 30, and a fixing metal 50.

The insulator 15 is formed by injection-molding an insulating and heat-resistant synthetic resin material. At the portions of the front surface of the insulator 15 excluding the right and left both ends, a connection object attachment / detachment opening 16 extending rearward from the inside of the insulator 15 is formed. Near the left and right ends of the front surface of the insulator 15, there are formed a pair of left and right gold mouth portions 17 extending linearly rearward. Further, a plurality of contact insertion openings 19 linearly extending forward toward the front are arranged on the rear surface of the insulator 15 in the lateral direction ("orthogonal direction" in the claims) at predetermined intervals. Each of the contact insertion openings 19 is formed independently of each other. That is, the adjacent contact insertion ports 19 are non-continuous with each other. The front end portions of the respective contact insertion openings 19 are opened, and the respective contact insertion openings 19 are communicated with the connection object attaching / detaching opening 16. In the rear surface of the insulator 15, the contact support 20 is positioned just below the respective contact insertion openings 19 and has the same number of contact support openings 20 as the contact insertion openings 19 (see FIGS. 5 and 8) ).

The connector 10 has the same number of contacts 30 as the contact insertion port 19. [ Each of the contacts 30 comprises a first contact component 31 and a second contact component 39. The first contact component 31 and the second contact component 39 are made of a copper alloy having a spring elasticity (for example, bronze, beryllium copper, titanium copper) and a thin plate of a Colson copper alloy, (Stamping), and nickel plating is formed on the entire surface. Further, gold plating is applied to the surfaces of the nickel plating on the contact portions 34 and 42 and the tail portions 37 and 45 which will be described later, and the portions except for the contact portions 34 and 42 and the tail portions 37 and 45 Nickel plating is exposed.

The first contact component 31 includes a fixed portion 32, an elastic arm 33 extending forward from the fixed portion 32, and an elastic member 33 extending forward from the fixed portion 32, And a tail portion 37 extending rearward from the lower end of the fixing portion 32. The fixing portion 35 is formed integrally with the fixing portion 35, The elastic arm 33 is elastically deformed in the vertical direction, and the contact portion 34 protrudes upward at the distal end of the elastic arm 33. On the upper surface of the fixing piece 35, a supporting piece 36 is projected.

The fixing piece 35 linearly extends forward but the elastic arm 33 does not linearly extend forward (refer to Figs. 10 and 11). In other words, the proximal end portion 33a of the elastic arm 33 extends linearly forward, but the body portion 33b, which is a portion forward of the proximal end portion 33a, extends obliquely forward to the left side from the proximal end portion 33a And extends linearly toward the front. The left and right positions of the proximal end portion 33a and the fixing piece 35 are the same but the portion extending linearly toward the front of the main body portion 33b is a portion of the first contact constituent portion 31 Only half of the plate thickness (left-right width) is offset to the left (see Fig. 11).

The second contact forming part 39 is a member having the same thickness (left width) as the first contact forming part 31 and has an elastic arm 41 extending forward from the fixing part 40 and the fixing part 40, A fixing piece 43 positioned below the elastic arm 41 extending forward in the fixing portion 40 and a frame portion 45 extending rearward from the lower end of the fixing portion 40 do. The resilient arm 41 is elastically deformed in the vertical direction, and the contact portion 42 protrudes upward at the distal end portion of the resilient arm 41. On the upper surface of the fixing piece 43, a supporting piece 44 is projected. The fixing piece 43 (supporting piece 44) has the same shape as the fixing piece 35 (supporting piece 36), and the teep part 45 has the same shape as the teep part 37.

The resilient arms 41 do not extend linearly forward as in the resilient arms 33 (see Figs. 12 and 13). In other words, the proximal end 41a of the resilient arm 41 linearly extends forward, but the main body 41b, which is a portion forward of the proximal end 41a, is inclined forward to the right from the proximal end 41a, As shown in Fig. The portion linearly extending toward the front of the main body 41b is formed in the second contact forming portion 39 with respect to the fixing piece 43. However, Only half of the plate thickness (left-right width) is offset to the right (see Fig. 13).

The second contact forming portion 39 is not the same shape as the first contact forming portion 31 and the front and rear length of the elastic arm 41 is shorter than the front and rear length of the elastic arm 33.

The first contact forming portion 31 and the second contact forming portion 39 constituting each contact 30 are inserted into the respective contact inserting holes 19 at the rear of the insulator 15.

When the first contact forming portion 31 and the second contact forming portion 39 are provided on the insulator 15, the first contact forming portion 31 and the second contacting forming portion 39 Are integrated to constitute the contact 30. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the front and rear positions and the vertical positions of the fixing piece 35 and the fixing piece 43 are made to coincide with each other, and the front and rear positions of the tee part 37 and the tee part 45, And then the opposing surfaces of the fixing portion 32 and the fixing portion 40 are brought into contact with each other. The main body portion 41b of the resilient arm 41 is located on the upper portion of the main body portion 33b of the resilient arm 33 and the contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 are positioned in the forward and backward directions (See Fig. 16).

Subsequently, the fixed portion 32 of the contact 30, a part of the fixed portion 40, the elastic arm 33 and the elastic arm 41 are brought into contact with the opposing faces of the fixed portion 32 and the fixed portion 40 From the rear of the insulator 15 to the common contact insertion port 19 and the fixing piece 35 and the fixing piece 43 are inserted into the common contact support 20. [ The supporting piece 36 of the fixing piece 35 and the supporting piece 44 of the fixing piece 43 dig into the ceiling face of each contact support 20 and the fixing part 32 and the fixing part 40 And are fixed to the respective contact fittings 19. The resilient arm 33 and the resilient arm 41 are spaced apart from the inner surfaces of the respective contact insertion openings 19 so that the resilient arms 33 and the resilient arms 41 are free from the corresponding contact insertion openings 19 in the vertical direction.

The pair of left and right fixing brackets 50 are press-molded products of a metal plate and have a fixing piece 51 constituting the front end portion and an insertion piece 52 extending rearward from the fixing piece 51.

The left and right fixing brackets 50 are fixed to both left and right sides of the insulator 15 when the insertion pieces 52 are inserted into the left and right gold mouth portions 17 from the front of the insulator 15, respectively. When the insertion piece 52 is inserted into the gold cheek mouth portion 17, the support protrusion protruding from the upper surface of the insertion piece 52 is inserted into the gold mouth portion 17, And is fixed to the breathing mouth portion 17. When the insertion piece 52 is inserted into the gold mouthpiece 17, the lower surface of the fixing piece 51 is positioned on the same plane as the lower surface of the frame portion 37 and the frame portion 45.

The constituent connector 10 described above is mounted on the circuit board CB shown in Fig.

A circuit pattern and a ground pattern (not shown) are formed on the upper surface of the circuit board CB. The connector 10 is manufactured by brazing the tail portion 37 and the tail portion 45 of each contact 30 to the circuit pattern and then soldering the fixing piece 51 of the left and right fixing metal 50 to the ground pattern, (CB).

It is possible to attach and detach FPC (Flexible Pinted Circuits) 60 (connection object) shown in Figs. 1, 2, 9 and so on to the connector 10 mounted on the circuit board CB along the front and rear direction. On the lower surface of the FPC 60, a plurality of circuit patterns 61 extending linearly in the longitudinal direction are formed (see FIG. 9). The plate thickness (vertical length) of the FPC 60 is larger than the vertical distance between the top surface of the connection object attachment / detachment opening 16 and the contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 of the contact 30 in a free state.

When the rear end portion of the FPC 60 is inserted into the connection object attaching / detaching opening 16 of the connector 10, the FPC 60 is moved in the state in which the upper surface of the rear end portion of the FPC 601 is in contact with the top surface of the connection object attaching / The circuit patterns 61 of the first contact portions 31 are brought into contact with the contact portions 34 while elastically deforming the elastic arms 33 of the first contact constituent portions 31 downward. When the FPC 60 further moves backward in this state, the circuit pattern 61 comes into contact with the contact portion 34 and the minute foreign matter (dust, dust, etc.) attached to the surface of the circuit pattern 61 by the contact portion 34 Etc.) are removed. Further, when the elastic arm 33 is elastically deformed, the stress (the extent to which the elastic arm 33 is generated) generated in the elastic arm 33 is transmitted to the entire first contact constituent 31. At this time, when the stress is large, there is a possibility that the fixing portion 32 and the base end portion 33a are slightly displaced (deformed). However, since the first contact component 31 and the second contact component 39 are separate members, the stress generated in the elastic arm 33 at this time is not transmitted to the second contact component 39. [

The circuit patterns 61 are brought into contact with the contact portions 42 while elastically deforming the elastic arms 41 of the respective second contact constituent portions 39 downwardly when the FPC 60 is further moved backward. That is, the contact portion 42 comes into contact with the portion where the foreign matter of each circuit pattern 61 is removed. Then, although the stress is generated in the elastic arm 41, this stress is not transmitted to the first contact constituent part 31.

Since the resilient arm 33 and the resilient arm 41 are constituted by separate members as described above, the resilient arms 33 (the contact portions 34) and the resilient arms 33 The contact reliability of the elastic arm 41 (contact portion 42) and the FPC 60 (circuit pattern 61) is improved. Therefore, the circuit board CB and the FPC 60 can be reliably conducted.

When each contact 30 is constituted by a single member, the shock (acceleration) applied to each of the elastic arms 33 and 41 when vibration and impact are applied to the connector 10 due to dropping or the like, There is a fear that the contact portions 34 and the contact portions 42 are simultaneously (or instantaneously) tilted (instantaneous distance) in the FPC 60 (circuit pattern 61). However, each contact 30 has a contact portion 34 of the first contact constituent portion 31 and a contact portion 42 of the second contact constituent portion 39, which are in contact with each other, on each circuit pattern 61 of the FPC 60 The elastic arms 33 and 41 are hardly affected by impacts and moments from the other elastic arms. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 from simultaneously tending to the FPC 60 (circuit pattern 61).

Since the longitudinal length of the resilient arm 41 is shorter than the length of the resilient arm 33 in the front and rear direction, the second contact forming portion 39 is not the same shape as the first contact forming portion 31, It is less likely that the first contact constituent portion 31 and the second contact constituent portion 39 (the resilient arm 33 and the resilient arm 41) resonate with the connector 10 at the same time. Since the first contact forming portion 31 and the second contact forming portion 39 are made of different members, one of the elastic arms (for example, the resilient arm 33) is resonated with the connector 10 The vibration of the elastic arm is hardly transmitted to the other elastic arm (for example, the elastic arm 41). Therefore, when vibration occurs in the connector 10, the possibility that the contact portion 34 and the circuit pattern 61 of the contact portion 42 are simultaneously (instantaneously) removed is extremely small.

Since the contacts 30 are mounted (soldered) to the circuit board CB with the two tails 37 and 45 sandwiched therebetween, the mounting strength of the connector 10 to the circuit board CB is .

When the operator moves the FPC 60 to the front of the connector 10 while holding the FPC 60 by hand, the FPC 60 can be pulled out from the connector 10 (the connection object attachment / detachment opening 16) have. The elastic arm 33 of the first contact component 31 and the elastic arm 41 of the second contact component 39 return to the free state simultaneously when the FPC 60 is pulled out.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, but can be implemented in various forms.

For example, when the contact 30 is provided in the contact insertion port 19, the first contact constituent wave 31 is first inserted (fixed) into the contact insertion port 19, and then the second contact constituent 39 may be inserted into the contact insertion port 19 to form the contact 30 inside the contact insertion port 19. [

In the case of inserting the contact 30 into the contact insertion port 19 after the contact 30 is formed outside the insulator 15 and the case where the first contact forming portion 31 and the second contacting forming portion 39 are formed, The contact 30 is formed in the contact insertion port 19 by inserting the first contact constituent portion 31 and the second contact constituent portion 39 in the contact insertion hole 19 differently from each other. May be spaced apart (slightly) without being brought into contact with each other. It is also possible to form a protrusion projecting toward the other from one side of the fixing portion 32 and the fixing portion 40 and bring the protrusion into contact with the other side of the fixing portion 32 and the fixing portion 40 The portions except for the contact portion with the corresponding projections are not in contact with each other).

When the opposed faces of the fixing portion 32 and the fixing portion 40 are in contact with each other and the opposed faces of the fixing portion 32 and the fixing portion 40 are slightly spaced from each other, (Crank-like) bent portions are formed at the base portions of the adjacent tread portions 37, 45, 59 of the contacts 30 when the projections projected on one side of the contact portion 40 come into contact with the other side, The opposed faces of the adjacent tees 37, 45, and 59 may be spaced in the right and left direction. In this case, when soldering the frame portions 37 (45) and (59) to the upper surface of the circuit board CB, in the process of the melted solder staying in the spaces of the adjacent frame portions 37 It is possible to further suppress that the solder sticks to the side of the fixing portions 32, 40, 56 (that is, the solder rises).

It may also be implemented in the state of the modification shown in Fig.

In the modification of Fig. 17, the first contact part 31 and the second contact part 39 are made of one common contact part 55.

The common contact member 55 includes a fixed portion 56, a fixing piece 57, a frame portion 59, an elastic arm 33 and an elastic arm 41 integrally, And a support piece 58 protrudes from the bottom surface. The resilient arm 33 of the common contact forming portion 55 has the same shape as that of the resilient arm 33 of the first contact forming portion 31 and the resilient arm 41 of the common contact forming portion 55 has the same shape as that of the resilient arm 33 of the second contact And has the same shape as the resilient arm 41 of the constituent part 39. [

The shape of the first contact part 31 (the shape of the fixing part, the fixing part, and the tail part is slightly different from that of the first contact part 31 of the embodiment) of this modification is the same as that of the first contact part 31 And cutting the fixed portion 56 of the common contact forming portion 55 along the line L1. 17 (b), the second contact portion 39 (the shape of the fixing portion, the fixing piece, and the tail portion is slightly different from that of the second contact portion 39 of the embodiment) And cutting the elastic arm 33 of the common contact forming portion 55 along the cutting line L2 of the common contact forming portion 55. [

The first contact constituent part 31 and the second contact constituent part 39 constructed as described above can constitute the contact 30 as in the above embodiment, ).

Fig. 18 shows another modification.

The contact 30 of the connector 10 of this modified example differs from the embodiment in the shape of the resilient arm 33 and the resilient arm 41. That is, the elastic arm 33 extends linearly from the fixed portion 32 toward the front, and the elastic arm 41 extends linearly from the fixed portion 40 toward the front.

Therefore, the left and right positions of the elastic arm 41 (contact portion 42) and the elastic arm 33 (contact portion 34) are shifted from each other (see FIG. 18).

18, if the respective circuit patterns 61 of the FPC 60 have a certain width, the contact portions 34 of the same contacts 30 and the contact portions 34 of the same circuit pattern 61 42 can be contacted.

Since the left and right positions of the contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 are shifted from each other, in the connector 10 of this embodiment, the contact portion 42 of the circuit pattern 61 is removed by the contact portion 34, Is not contacted. However, with the exception of this point, the connector 10 of this embodiment can exhibit the same operational effects as those of the normal embodiment.

It is also possible to make the plate thickness (vertical length) of the FPC 60 smaller than the vertical distance between the top surface of the connection object attaching / detaching aperture 16 and the contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 of the free contact 30, The rotary actuator and the slider may be provided on the insulator 15 in order to increase the contact pressure between the contact portions 34 and 42 of the FPC 60 and the FPC 60.

A part of the contacts 30 may be inserted from the front of the insulator 15 (the contact insertion port), and the contacts 30 may be alternately arranged alternately from left to right in a staggered manner.

The thickness of the first contact forming portion 31 and the thickness of the second contact forming portion 39 may be different. In this case, if the thickness of the first contact constituent part 31 is made thicker than that of the second contact constituent part 39, the effect of removing the foreign substance by the contact part 34 is improved.

One of the elastic arms 33 and the elastic arms 41 is linearly extended in the front and rear direction and the other main body portion 33b or the main body portion 41b is provided laterally in the first contact construction portion 31 (Equal to each other) of the second contact forming portion 39 and the second contact forming portion 39, as shown in Fig.

It is not necessary that the bending portions (time points of offset) of the elastic arms 33 and the elastic arms 41 be the proximal ends 33a and 41a and the center and front ends of the elastic arms 33 and 41 in the longitudinal direction good.

19, the resilient arms 33 and 41 themselves are bent (the entire shape is a straight line extending in the front-rear direction) and the contact portions 34 and 42 are bent (offset laterally) The contact portion 34 and the contact portion 42 may be placed on a straight line extending in the front-rear direction.

Further, each of the contacts 30 may be constituted by three or more contact constituent parts.

Further, the entire surface of the nickel plating formed on the entire surface of each of the contact constituent parts may be plated with gold and brass.

The connector 10 may also be connected to a connection object of a type different from that of the FPC. That is, the present invention can be applied to a connector for connecting, for example, a rigid card such as an FFC (flexible flat cable), an IC card, or a rigid board (SO-DIM, PCI-E or other module substrate) Do.

Further, the present invention may be applied to a connector having a plug connector and a receptacle connector that can be detached from each other. In this case, a contact having the same configuration as that of the contact 30 is provided on each of the plurality of contact insertion openings formed in one of the connectors (for example, a receptacle connector) and the contacts of the other connector (The same contact as the contact 30) of one connector.

Further, the present invention may be applied to an I / O connector and a connector for power connection, and these contacts may be configured in the same manner as the contacts 30.
