Description

Electrical connector

The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to an earloop type clamshell electrical connector.

As shown in FIG. 1A, it is a plan view showing that a transmission element is mounted on a currently available one-pin type Zero Insertion Force Connector (ZIC connector). Normally, the earrings 91 on both sides of the transmission element 90 must be secured within the positioning slot 26a to allow normal communication between the transmission component 90 and the electrical connector 1a.

However, the height of the positioning step 25a of the current electrical connector 1a is too low, and the flow rate of the production line is fast, so that when the worker assembles the transmission member 90 and the electrical connector 1a, the earrings 91 on both sides of the transmission member 90 are liable to climb to When the positioning step 25a (as shown in FIG. 1B) or the ear button 91 is partially tilted, the assembly is not aligned; once the assembly is misaligned, it must be disassembled and reassembled, resulting in waste in assembly man-hours.

Therefore, it is necessary to invent an ear-type electrical connector to solve the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector for ensuring accurate positioning of a transmission component when assembled.

To achieve the above object, the electrical connector of the present invention is used to electrically connect a transmission element having a pair of ear buckles. The electrical connector of the present invention comprises a cover body and a base body, wherein the base body comprises a bottom wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls and a pair Position the steps. The rear wall is connected to a surface of one side of the bottom wall; a pair of side walls are respectively connected to corresponding sides of the rear wall, and the pair of side walls and the rear wall form an accommodating space on the surface, and the accommodating space is used for Storing the transmission component and the cover body; a pair of positioning steps are located in the accommodating space, and are formed through the positioning step to form a pair of positioning slots between the rear wall and the positioning step, the pair of positioning slots are used for fastening the earrings of the transmission component Wherein the positioning steps each comprise a stud.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cover of the electrical connector of the present invention is provided with a pair of holes for receiving the pair of protrusions when the cover is placed in the accommodating space.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the height of the stud of the seat of the electrical connector of the present invention is substantially equal to the thickness of the cover.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the electrical connector of the present invention is a zero insertion force electrical connector.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the transmission element is a flexible flat cable.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the transmission component is a flexible printed circuit board.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <

Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 together. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the electrical connector of the present invention; and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the electrical connector of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the electrical connector 1 of the present invention is used to electrically connect a transmission component 90 having a pair of earloops 91. One embodiment of the present invention The electrical connector 1 of the present invention is a Zero Insertion Force Connector, and the transmission component 90 can be a flexible flat cable (FFC) or a flexible printed circuit board (Flexible Printed). Circuits, FPC), but the invention is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment of the invention, the electrical connector 1 of the present invention includes a cover 10 and a base 20.

A hole 11 is formed in each of the left and right sides of the cover 10.

The seat body 20 includes a bottom wall 21, a rear wall 22, a pair of side walls 23, and a pair of positioning steps 25. The rear wall 22 is joined to the surface 211 above the bottom wall 21. The two side walls 23 are respectively connected to the corresponding sides of the rear wall 22, and the accommodating space 24 for accommodating the transmission member 90 and the cover body 10 is formed on the surface 211 of the bottom wall 21 by the pair of side walls 23 and the rear wall 22. . The two positioning steps 25 are located in the accommodating space 24, and a pair of positioning grooves 26 are formed between the rear wall 22 and the positioning step 25. The positioning groove 26 is used for fastening the ear button 91 of the transmission component 90. The two positioning steps 25 each include a stud 251, wherein the height of the stud 251 is substantially equal to the thickness of the cover 10 to prevent the ear clasp 91 from running onto the positioning step 25.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , when the transmission component 90 is disposed in the accommodating space 24 , the electrical connector 1 can secure the ear button 91 of the transmission component 90 through the positioning slot 26 of the base 20 . Since the electrical connector 1 of the present invention is provided with the stud 251 on the positioning step 25, when the operator installs the transmission member 90 to the accommodating space 24, the ear button 91 can be easily and accurately placed in the positioning groove 26 In the middle, the ear button 91 is prevented from running above the positioning step 25, and the speed at the time of installation is accelerated. In addition, the hole 11 of the cover 10 of the electrical connector 1 of the present invention is used to accommodate the stud 251 when the cover 10 is placed in the accommodating space 24, and since the height of the stud 251 is equal to the cover 10 Thickness, so the operator can borrow Whether the top surface of the stud 251 is flush with the top surface of the cover 10 to determine whether the transport element 90 covered by the bottom is completely affixed to the surface 211 of the bottom wall 21 (if not flush, the transmission element 90 may have a partial warp Phenomenon)

To sum up, the present invention, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, shows its distinctive features of the prior art. You are requested to review the examination and express the patent as soon as possible. It should be noted that the various embodiments described above are merely illustrative for ease of explanation, and the scope of the invention is intended to be limited by the scope of the claims.
