Description of the invention () I ~ This invention relates to a cam_in type card edge electrical connector' which has a latch to connect the circuit The card is fixed in the connector. Rotary plug-in card edge electrical connectors are well known, in which the circuit card is inserted into the first position of the connector with minimal insertion resistance, and then the circuit card 5 is rotated to the second position to engage with the elastic contacts of the connector. A latch is required to hold the circuit card in the second position and to withstand the flexing force exerted by the elastic contact. These latches can be made of plastic and molded with the connector housing, or they can be made separately as a component, such as made of metal and attached to the connector housing. 10 US Patent No. 5,484,302 discloses a rotary plug-in card edge electrical connector, which can be mounted on a motherboard and fixes the daughter card in a direction parallel to the motherboard. The connector has individual metal latches that are held in a tower that extends outward (parallel to the motherboard) from the opposite side of the main housing containing the contacts. These contacts have solder tails and can be electrically connected to the motherboard using surface soldering. The latch has an integrated solder piece and can be bonded to the motherboard using surface soldering to increase the holding force of the connector to the motherboard while reducing the stress acting on the solder connection of the contact. The solder tail of the contact and the solder piece of the latch must be located on the same plane to obtain a good solder joint, but it is difficult to maintain a coplanar 20-plane tolerance between these components. At the same time, the metal latch must extend accurately and vertically toward the connector body to achieve effective latching on the daughter card and properly align with the solder pads on the motherboard. There is therefore a need for a connector that can have an improved click on a metal latch. Furthermore, the latch tower in the conventional art will occupy a large number of two rooms on the motherboard, and it is necessary to reduce the end portion of the housing that receives the metal latch -3------ i ------ -^ / 水 ------- Order ------ " (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A 7 86633 ______ _ B7 Five, the size of the invention description ().

When the daughter card passes through the latch piece 32, the latch 5 buckle arm 34 will spring back and the latch piece will jam the rear end of the daughter card to support the reaction force of the daughter card against the contact point. Figure 4-6 exposes a different view of a latch element 30. The latch The Yuan Niu 30 is preferably a single piece element and can be directly stamped and formed from sheet material. The latch π member 30 includes a first or main support arm 41 and a second or lock 10 support arm 42. The The equal arm can be connected by an elastic bending portion 43. The first arm 41 has a mounting portion 44 which can be maintained in the longitudinal and horizontal directions when it is located in the latch hole 28 on the housing (Fig. 2). And the locking arm 42 has a holding portion 45, which includes a holding device in the shape of a locking piece 46 to hold the latch element and prevent the 15 flash elements from moving in a vertical direction.

The main chamber 54 is preferably made of a rectangular hole structure and It has a side wall 55 and an end wall 56 and collectively defines an opposite channel. The end wall 56 is used for the lateral positioning of the first blade plate corresponding to the casing. The distance between the end wall 56 is specially selected to provide wire-to-wire bonding or even form a slight interference fit with the side edge of the first blade 47, so the first blade and the latch hole The end wall is shaped as a zero lateral gap. Similarly, the side wall 55 is used as the longitudinal positioning of the first blade 47 relative to the housing, and the distance between the side walls is specifically selected to provide wire-to-wire bonding to the main surface of the first blade. . The second blade 48 of the latch member 30 is seated in a gap 57 of one of the side walls 55 of the main chamber 54. In order to reduce the overall length of the casing, the size of the material between the side wall 55 and an end surface 55 of the casing can be made thin. When the latch element 30 is installed in the latch cavity 28, the main surface 50 of the second blade plate 48 is substantially parallel to the end surface µ of the housing. The locking piece 46 of the second blade plate 48 protrudes from the notch 49 of the first blade plate 47 and enters the cavity 51 of the main chamber 54 opposite to the side wall 55. The locking piece 46 engages the top surface 52 'of the recess 51, and then fixes the latch element 30 to prevent it from coming out of the housing. The manner in which the latch member 30 is assembled in the housing is accomplished by linearly inserting the mounting portion 44 into the main chamber 54. During this insertion, the retaining portion 45 is flexed outward due to the interference of the locking piece 46, making the side -7- This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Λ4 specification (210X 29 " 7 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page)-\ s Γ B7 May 15 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the People's Republic of China 20 Description of invention () The wall 55 is above the cavity 51. When the mounting portion is continuously inserted into the main chamber, the locking piece 46 passes through the top surface 52 of the recess 51. When this point is reached ', the holding portion 45 springs back, so that the locking piece 46 is moved into the cavity 51, and the latch element 30 is fixed in the housing. The latch element can be lifted out of the holding portion 45 to release the latch piece from the top surface 52 of the recess 6 and then pulled away from the housing. The solder pad 38 of the latch element 30 can be connected to the motherboard by surface soldering to supplement the holding force provided by the solder tail 26 of the contact, which is also connected to the motherboard by surface soldering. The solder pad pair absorbs the bending load at the same time. The blue curve load acts on the first branch f 41 of the long buckle element during the operation of the elastic flash arm 34. The solder pad 38 is located relatively far away from the casing 12, so the angle deviation of the buckle element on a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the casing will be converted into = 38 pairs of solder tails. 26 plane greater deviation. The end wall extension can help to keep the solder 塾 38 pair of solder tails 26 within a tight coplanar tolerance, where the end walls 56 are line-to-line ground and the side edge of the first blade 47 Join. The latch release 36 can be flexed outward to eject the latch piece 32 from the rear of the daughter card, and then remove the daughter card from the connector. When the latch release% is flexed, a significant bending load is applied to the length of the flash element that is not supported by the flash hole. At the same time, 'because the first side wall 55 is thin, the side wall may be twisted or cracked by the load on the flash element. The overstress-proof 7C piece * 40 provides an additional branch of the first arm 41 to resist buckling and to ensure that the first arm maintains perpendicularity to the casing. The anti-overstress element 40 -8-(Read the precautions on the back and then fill in the t page) Taxi clothes. Ordering paper ruler (210x 297 cm) A7 B7 86633 V. Description of the invention () Forms a side The hook is extended toward the front, and can be connected to the main arm by the sheet portion 39. The hook can be accommodated behind the side wall of the housing cavity 19. Figures 9 and 1G reveal the end portion of the electrical connector. The connector uses a latch element 130, which is the same as the aforementioned latch element, except that the shape of the anti-stress element is different. In this embodiment, the shape of the over-stress element 140 extends downward. The hook and the buckle are accommodated behind the wall surface of the hole 119 of the connector housing. The over-stress preventing element connected to the first arm 141 through the plate portion 139 can be laterally turned by a bent portion 137 Ground away from the plate portion 139, so the hole 119 can be allowed to escape from the channel 120 by using the rib 121 of the housing 10 material. The rib 121 can help to stably locate the over-stress prevention element 140 in the hole Within 119.
