Electrical connector

The present invention provides an electrical connector, in particular, a positioning mechanism above the seat body is pivotally connected with a rotating body, which can be rotated and rotated by the rotating body, and is pressed against the rear of the rotating body. The elastic component is inserted into the socket body through the plug connector, thereby achieving the effects of stable structure, simple assembly and low cost.

According to the rapid development of electronic technology today, electronic devices such as notebook computers and tablet computers have become commonplace in all corners of the society, and because of the rapid development of the Internet, users are required to obtain instant information, transfer files or mail. You can connect to the Internet to work through electronic devices, and use the Internet to search for various information, instant messaging or online games.

Furthermore, as the development trend of notebook computers and tablet PCs tends to be thin and light, the electronic components on the internal circuit board of the electronic device must be reduced and more precise, and the overall structural strength needs to be followed. It is reinforced, and the general electronic device uses a connector to connect to the circuit board, and the connector can be connected to the network plug and connected to the plurality of signal terminals, thereby transmitting the signal through the circuit board to In the control circuit, the electronic device is connected to the network for work.

With the smaller and smaller size of electronic devices, various types of connectors have been developed, and the plug types can be generally classified into telephones, fax machines, and the like. The RJ-11 plug and the RJ-45 plug for electronic devices connected to the network, multi-function machine, etc., but because the RJ series of connectors are standard specifications and have a certain volume, today's notebook computers, tablets The thickness design requirements of electronic devices such as computers are smaller than those of the RJ series, making the overall thickness of the electronic device impossible to be thinner.

Therefore, some manufacturers have designed a sturdy electrical connector. Please refer to the distorted diagram of the conventional electrical connector as shown in Figure 12. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the conventional electrical connection The device includes an insulating body A, a plurality of terminals B fixed on the insulating body, a cover plate C, and a connecting component D connected to the cover plate C.

It is elastically deformed on the cover C.

However, when the electrical connector is not plugged into the external plug, the cover C can be automatically closed and has an easy-to-use effect, but the cover C is assembled to the required space on the insulative housing A through the connection assembly D. Larger, the electrical connector will occupy more space as a whole, and the number of parts of the connecting component D is large, so that the assembly requirements become higher, the structure is unstable, and the assembly time and cost are relatively improved. When the cover C is opened, it is connected through the component D. Rotating upwards at an oblique angle, the external plug can be inserted obliquely into the electrical connector, and the external plug is positioned between the cover C and the insulative housing A, but the cover C is made of plastic material. When the user applies excessive force when inserting the external plug, the cover C may be damaged or destroyed due to too much slamming force, and the convenience of the overall structural design and assembly is considered. There is still much room for improvement in cost, and those who are still in the industry are redesigned to effectively solve it.
