Description

M306729 VIII. New description: [New technical field] The present invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular to a floating electrical connector combination in which a power supply sub-device is inserted horizontally or vertically. [Prior Art] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the applicant of the Republic of China No. 265798 discloses an electrical connector 1 comprising a joint 11 and a base 12 which are separately separable, and the base 12 is electrically connected to On the circuit board 19, a plurality of joint terminals 13 and a plurality of base terminals 14 are respectively formed in the joint 11 and the base 12. In order to avoid damage to the electrical connection between the mating electrical connector on the hard disk and the electrical connector on the circuit board 19, the electrical connector 1 on the circuit board 19 is of a two-piece design. When the mating electrical connector on the hard disk is plugged into the electrical connector 1 disclosed in the present case, the connector u and the base 12 can float 'and move with the hard disk to effectively dissipate stress. Although the electrical connector disclosed in the case adopts a two-piece design, in use, the connector 11 and the base 12 are assembled into a single piece, and then the mating electrical connector on the hard disk is inserted. The reason why the case is not suitable for first electrically connecting the connector u to the docking on the hard disk is electrically connected, and then the connector 11 to which the hard disk is bonded is inserted from the top to the bottom of the base 12 because the base terminal 14 is a clip. In the holding type, the contact portion 131 of the joint terminal 13 is easily bent by the misalignment, and because the contact portion 131 of the joint terminal 13 is suspended, if the resistance is encountered, the joint material 13 is easily damaged and cannot be formed. Good electrical connection. Therefore, the joint of the case "M306729 is not suitable for the action of plugging and unplugging into the base 12, but in real life, a hard disk failure often occurs and the hard disk must be replaced. The connector u and the base 12 may occur in the user's hand. Multiple plug-in, so how to maintain the floating float between the joint u and the base 12 taught by the Republic of China No. 265798 patent, and at the same time improve the disadvantage that the case is not suitable for inserting the joint u from the top to the bottom 12 It is the goal of the industry and inventors.

When the second terminals 6 are respectively mounted in a corresponding second terminal slot 52, the fixing portion 61 is fastened to the slot wall of the second terminal slot 52, and the contact portion 64 protrudes from the corresponding front opening 53. The fresh junction is located outside the second insulative housing 51; and when the second connector 5 is fixed on the circuit board 22, the soldering section 62 of the second terminal 6 is soldered to the circuit board 22 to form an electrical connection. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, when the electronic device 21 is to be electrically connected to the circuit board 22 through the floating electrical connector assembly 3GG, there are two types of plugging methods: inserting in the lateral direction and in the longitudinal direction (from the top) Draw down). When the field electronic device 21 is to be laterally inserted in the plugging direction 28, the first connector 3 is first plugged into the second connector 5 (see FIG. 9), that is, the upright rail 3 of the connector 3 5 slides into the chute 55 of the second connector 5 from top to bottom, and the protrusions 57 of the second connector 5 are also clamped in the rear well 382 (see FIG. 4), then the first connector The bottom surface of 3 is close to the rear end. 11 M306729 first pushes the contact section 64 of the second terminal 6 to move backward, so that the first terminal 4 and the transition section 44 are electrically connected to the contact section 64 of the second terminal 6, respectively. Since the transfer section 44 is supported against the rear end surface of the positioning member 37, the first connection is made! 3 When the second connector 5 is inserted, it is not damaged or deformed quickly by the pushing of the contact portion 64 of the second terminal 6. Then, the electronic device 21 is plugged into the plug connector 33 of the first connector 3 to make the lateral guide 36 of the first connector 3 enter the electrical connector 2 (four) slot 212 of the electronic device. The butt electrical connector 2 is electrically connected to the contact section 43 of the first terminal 4. When the electronic device 21 is to be inserted in the vertical direction (from top to bottom), the first connector 3_ is connected to the electronic device 21 (four) to the electrical connector hi, so that the electronic device 21 can be A connector 3 is inserted into the second connector 5 in the longitudinal direction (from top to bottom). Referring to FIG. 10, a second preferred embodiment of the present floating electrical connector assembly differs from the first preferred embodiment in that the floating electrical connector assembly 300 of the present embodiment, the first connector 3, is not positioned. Piece 37 (see Fig. 4), and Yinjing 38, not divided into front and rear wells, the protrusion π of the second connector 5 can be clamped in the entire shaft 38, in the middle of the present embodiment; The body is integrally formed, and has a plurality of protruding protrusions (f) 39 formed on the first insulating cover Μ, the rear wall surface 312', and the upright groove 372, the upright groove 372, is formed between the two matching ribs The number is the same as the number of terminals 4 and 4. In the first terminal 4, the first terminal slot 32 is inserted, and the angle between the fixing section 41 and the adapter section 44' is an acute angle in this embodiment, and is transferred after the first terminal slot 32' is inserted. The segment 44' is located in the upright slot milk, and is stretched by the rear wall surface 312 of the first insulating 12 M306729 housing 31', but can be placed close to the first because it has previously been subjected to pre-loading force The rear wall surface 312 of the insulating housing 31, at this time, the protruding ribs 39 cooperate to secure a corresponding transfer section 44. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the support section 44 is supported by the rear wall surface 312' of the first insulating housing 31'.

In summary, the terminals of the novel floating electrical connector assembly 300, 300 are divided into two groups, one of which is installed in the first connector 3, 3, and the first terminal 4, 4^ is set to be installed. The second terminal 6 in the second connector $, the second 'first connector 3, 3' has a plug-in π 33 disk lateral guide 36 for lateral insertion, and also has a longitudinal (top to bottom) insertion The upright guides are connected to the private wells 38, 38''. Therefore, the first connectors 3, 3 are first plugged in the second connection: =5 to make the first terminal 4, 4' first and the second terminal 6 electrically connected, the electronic, the 21 can be inserted laterally to the first connector 3, 3, to be electrically connected to the first terminal 4, 4'; or by the first connector 3, 3, first inserted Connected to the electronic device connection = electrical connector 2U 'to make the first terminal H, first connected with the docking electrical connection, then the electronic device 21 can be inserted into the first connector 3 On the second connector 5, through the first terminals 4, 4, the terminal 6 is electrically connected, so that two types of plug-in directions are available for electrical connection with the circuit board 22. Moreover, since the second transfer sections 44, 44 are at the rear end of the abutting position member 37, the contact portion 64 which pushes the second material 6 from the bottom surface of the first connection 113, 3' near the rear end moves backward. Therefore, the terminals 4, 4, and 6 are electrically connected, and the transfer sections 44 and 44 of the terminals 4 and 4 are not easily damaged or deformed by the pushing of the contact portion 64 of the second terminal 6 13 M 306729. Therefore, the electronic device u can be repeatedly inserted in the vertical direction, so that the purpose of the present invention can be achieved. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the implementation of the novel implementation, that is, the simple equivalent change and modification of the patent application scope and the new description content of the present invention. , are still within the scope of this new patent.
