Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an FFC connector, and more particularly, to a FFC connector in which a hook is bent at both sides of an actuator to allow the hook to be engaged with the outside of the housing when the actuator is rotated in the locking direction, To the FFC connector.
2. Description of the Related Art [0002] In general, electronic devices such as notebook computers are miniaturized in size and thinner in thickness, so that the sizes of various electronic components assembled therein are also downsized.
As a result, FFC connectors (Flexible Flat Cables) for electrically connecting the printed circuit board and the electronic components are also becoming smaller.
The FFC cable is electrically connected by the FFC connector while being connected to the printed circuit board and the electronic components, respectively.
The conventional FFC connector includes a housing for forming an insertion space, a terminal provided along the insertion space and connected to a terminal of the cable, and a lock for switching the coupling state of the cable at the upper portion of the housing, A possible actuator and the like.
However, in the conventional FFC connector, when an external force such as rocking or vibration is transmitted, there is a fear that the actuator is rotated in the lock releasing direction to be unlocked.
Further, since the connection end of the terminal is connected to the terminal of the cable by one contact, there is a possibility that the contact state is changed due to external factors (vibration, foreign matter, contact force reduction).
A prior art related to the present invention is Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2010-0138696 (December 31, 2010), which discloses a relay connector.
The present invention provides an FFC connector capable of preventing a deterioration of a coupling force due to shaking, vibration, or the like by bending a hook on both sides of an actuator so that the hook is positioned outside the housing when the actuator is rotated in the locking direction .
In addition, it is possible to improve the withstand voltage reliability by forming a locking projection between the terminals, and by forming the connecting end of the terminal in two, the contact force is dispersed so as not to be greatly influenced by external factors (vibration, foreign matter, To thereby provide an FFC connector capable of improving the contact with the terminal and the contact pressure.
The FFC connector according to the present invention includes: a housing having an insertion space opened to the front end so as to be coupled with a cable, the housing having locking protrusions protruded at left and right ends thereof; A terminal having a front end connected to the cable terminal when the cable is engaged and a terminal rotatably coupled at one end to the upper side of the inlet side of the insertion space, and a front end of the cable is engaged when the front end is rotated, And an actuator in which a hook is engaged with the locking protrusion.
It is preferable that a locking hole is formed at the front end of the cable so as to penetrate up and down, and a locking protrusion is formed so that the lower surface of the actuator is correspondingly inserted through the upper portion of the locking hole.
In addition, it is preferable that the width of the engaging projection gradually narrows in the projecting direction.
Preferably, the bottom surface of the insertion space is formed with a corresponding insertion groove to insert the lower end of the locking projection.
Preferably, the cable terminals are disposed in a lateral direction with respect to the latching grooves.
In addition, it is preferable that the engaging plate is bent downward at the left and right sides of the housing, and the locking protrusion is protruded from the outer surface of the engaging plate.
In addition, the hook preferably has a coupling end extending from both ends of left and right sides of the actuator to a lower portion, and a locking hole formed horizontally through the coupling end, so that the locking protrusion is inserted correspondingly.
In addition, a knob for releasing the engagement with the locking protrusion is bent outward at an extended end of the coupling end, and the bent portion of the knob is in contact with the upper end of the locking protrusion when the actuator is rotated forward, It is preferable to form a curved line.
Preferably, the locking protrusion has an inclined surface inclined downward to the outside so that the extended end of the coupling end is guided outward.
In addition, a rotary shaft is protruded from the left and right sides of the actuator, and the rotary shaft is elastically supported downward by the front end of the terminal.
In addition, the terminal may be formed to extend forward, an upper support for supporting the upper end of the rotation shaft elastically downwardly, a front support end extending forward from a lower portion of the upper support, A first lower connection port connected to a lower surface of the cable terminal and a second connection terminal extending forward from an upper portion of the first lower connection port and connected to a lower surface of the cable terminal at a rear side of the first connection terminal A second lower connection port, and a third lower connection port extending toward the rear, the third lower conduit being exposed through the exterior of the housing and connected to the electronic device.
According to the present invention, hooks are formed on both sides of an actuator so that the hooks are engaged with the outside of the housing when the actuator is rotated in the locking direction, thereby preventing the coupling force from being lowered due to shaking or vibration.
In addition, it is possible to improve the withstand voltage reliability by forming a partition between the terminals, and by forming the connection ends of the terminals in double, the contact force is dispersed so as not to be greatly influenced by external factors (vibration, foreign matter, So that the contact with the terminal and the contact pressure can be improved.
