Description

Electrical connector tray

The present invention relates to an electrical connector tray, and more particularly to a low profile electrical connector tray.

Referring to the first figure, the prior art related to the present invention can be referred to the modular tray 1 disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. 519973, which was issued on Feb. 1, 2003, and includes an upper tray having a concavo-convex structure. The upper tray 101 and the lower tray 102 are respectively recessed with a plurality of rows of receiving grooves 103 and 104. The receiving grooves 103 and 104 are partitioned by a plurality of transverse ribs 105 to accommodate a plurality of objects 200, and There are partition walls 106 and 107 between the two rows of receiving slots, and the upper tray 101 and the lower tray 102 are stacked and assembled with each other, and when the two are stacked on each other, the receiving groove 103 and the partition wall 106 of the upper tray 101 are respectively lower and lower. The partition wall 107 of the disc and the receiving groove 104 are fitted together to each other, and the plurality of combined trays of the foregoing structure may be stacked together and packaged in a package for transportation or storage.

The foregoing structure of stacking the upper and lower discs has the function of saving space and stable storage for storing electrical connectors or electronic components of a small size. However, for a large-sized electrical connector or the like, the staggered stack structure may cause materials. Waste, the manufacturing process is also cumbersome, and the upper tray 101 and the lower tray 102 prevent the object 200 from being placed in the reverse direction by the ribs 108, 109 disposed in the receiving groove 104, thereby increasing the amount of material used.

Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved tray to solve the above problems.

In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector tray that can increase storage density and save material.

The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: an electrical connector tray includes a substrate and a side wall protruding from the substrate, thereby forming a plurality of receiving spaces for accommodating the electrical connector; And a plurality of receiving slots corresponding to the electrical connector; wherein the electrical connector tray is provided with a limiting through hole extending through the substrate and communicating with the receiving slot, wherein the limiting through hole is offset from the middle of the receiving slot to Position the aforementioned electrical connector.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects: the electrical connector tray of the present invention can reduce the vertical height occupied by the storage of the storage device by the through hole provided therein and the hook structure of the electrical connector. It is beneficial to increase the storage density of the electrical connector.

Referring to the second figure, the electrical connector tray 100 of the present invention is used for packaging and transporting the electrical connector 5, and the electrical connector 5 includes an elongated insulating body 50 from the insulating body. Two card arms 54 extending perpendicularly from both ends of the longitudinal direction of the 50th and a plurality of terminals (not shown) interposed in the insulative housing 50. The insulative housing 50 has a bottom surface 501, and a fixing hook 511 and a limiting hook 513 extending perpendicularly from the bottom surface 501. The terminal is provided with a pin (not shown) extending perpendicularly from the bottom surface 501 of the insulating body 50. The electrical connector 5 is soldered to a circuit board (not shown).

Referring to the second to fourth figures, the electrical connector tray 100 includes a rectangular substrate 2, a first side wall 31 protruding from the substrate 2, a second side wall 32, and a plurality of partition walls 33, thereby forming an electrical connection for receiving The accommodating space 4 of the device 5. The electrical connector tray 100 has a plurality of pairs of ribs 311 protruding into the accommodating space 4 to divide the accommodating space 4 into a plurality of accommodating grooves 41. An opening 22 is formed between the accommodating grooves 41 for reducing the amount of materials used.

Referring to the fifth figure, the bottom plate of the accommodating groove 41 is provided with a limiting through hole 213 corresponding to the limiting hook 513 for positioning the electrical connector 5, corresponding to the structure of the limiting hook 513, and the limiting position is The hole 213 is also disposed away from the intermediate position of the accommodating groove 41. When the electrical connector 5 is placed in the receiving slot 41, if the limiting hook 513 and the limiting through hole 213 are offset from the same side, the electrical connector 5 can be stored in the receiving slot 41 in the correct direction. At this time, the limit hook 513 is inserted into the limit through hole 213; if the electrical connector 5 is taken in reverse or wrong, the limit hook 513 cannot be inserted into the limit through hole 213, thereby preventing the electrical connector 5 incorrectly placed, and the limit hook 513 passing through the limit through hole 213 is also beneficial for reducing the overall height of the electrical connector 5.

The accommodating groove 41 is provided with a convex portion 312 at a height higher than the height of the terminal pin of the electrical connector 5 and smaller than the height of the limiting hook 513; An edge through hole 211 corresponding to the fixing hook 511 of the electrical connector 5 is provided. When the electrical connector 5 is placed in the electrical connector tray 100 in the correct direction, the fixing hook 511 is worn. Through the edge through hole 211, the limit hook 513 passes through the limit through hole 213, the electrical connector 5 is held on the convex portion 312, and the terminal pin does not contact the electrical connector tray 100 for protection The function of the terminal; at the same time, the structure of the limiting through hole 213 or the edge through hole 211 reduces the material used, thereby saving cost.

Referring to the fourth figure, the first side wall 31, the second side wall 32 and the partition wall 33 are provided with a connected bottom 60 which is recessed inwardly so that the first side wall 31, the second side wall 32 and the isolation are separated. The walls 33 are each formed with an "n"-shaped structure, and the bottom portion 60 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing barriers 601, whereby the structural strength of the first side wall 31, the second side wall 32 and the partition wall 33 can be enhanced, and the insulating body 50 can be prevented from being formed. The process is warped and can reduce the material; the first side wall 31 and the second side wall 32 are further provided with a connected top portion 61, the top portion 61 is a convex structure, and the top 61 of the electrical connector tray 100 has the same The bottom of the other electrical connector tray of the structure may be formed into a convex-concave fit and assembled together. In actual use, the plurality of electrical connector trays 100 can be stacked together for packaging, storage, etc., to further increase their storage density.

The limiting through hole 213 of the electrical connector tray 100 of the present invention is biased toward one side of the receiving slot 41 to prevent the electrical connector 5 from being reversed or misplaced, and the material of the electrical connector tray 100 can be reduced; and the electrical connector The limit hook 513 and the fixed hook 511 of the fifth connector can be respectively inserted into the limiting through hole 213 and the edge through hole 211 of the electrical connector tray 100, thereby reducing the storage space occupied by each electrical connector 5 to improve the electrical connection. The storage density of the device 5, if so, reduces the cost of packaging materials and transportation costs required for the product.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to make equivalent modifications or changes in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
