Description

Connector assembly and circuit module applied thereto

The present invention relates to a connector assembly and a circuit module to which the same is applied.

According to the current, the electrical connector is focused on the stable connection of the docking connector or the cable and other interfaces to provide stable telecommunications transmission. Conventional flexible cable or circuit board is connected with the connector in a tight fit mode. If it is shaken or pulled slightly, it will cause detachment and affect the transmission.

For example, U.S. Patent No. 8,192,219 discloses the installation of a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a flexible flat cable (FFC) and a pair of connectors. As shown in Figures 1 and 11, the flexible flat panel has electronic circuitry, and a plurality of circuit contacts are exposed on one end of the mating connector. The docking connector includes a second recess for inserting the flexible flat panel cable, and the second slot further includes a rotational actuator pivoted therein.

In this way, when the flexible flat cable has one end of the circuit contact inserted into the second slot, the starting device is pulled, so that the second arm disposed at one end of the starting device can tightly press the second slot. The soft plate prevents the flexible flat panel cable from easily coming off the docking connector.

However, as electronic products are moving toward light, thin, short, and small trends, if the connector having the starting device has a certain volume, it still occupies an area available for the circuit board, and has an improved space.

In addition, each time the assembler inserts the flexible flat panel cable into the second slot of the docking connector, the starting device must be operated reliably to prevent the flexible flat panel cable from being disconnected from the docking connector described above, which not only lengthens the operation. Time does not ensure that the assembler successfully operates the starter, which may also increase the cost of future repairs.

Therefore, how to develop and improve the shortcomings of the above connectors is a goal that the relevant industry needs to work hard to develop.
