Description

Electrical connector

The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to a structure of an electrical connector shield housing.

For the prior art related to this creation, please refer to the Chinese Patent No. CN201440550U published on April 21, 2010, which discloses an electrical connector including an insulative housing and a mask housing surrounding the insulative housing. The mask housing has four side shrapnel stamped from the side shell wall at the interface between the front shell wall and the side shell wall, wherein the left side and the right side of the front shell wall each have two laterally outwardly extending side shrapnel. The mask shell is further provided with two upper elastic pieces stamped from the top shell wall at the interface between the front shell wall and the top shell wall, and each of the upper elastic sheets extends upward. The electrical connector is used to mount on the Xbox Microsoft game console, and the side shrapnel and the upper shrapnel are used to press against the casing of the Xbox Microsoft game console. The electrical connector slides obliquely from the upper right side along the sliding plate to the lower left side of the body, so the top contact portion of the upper elastic piece first contacts the casing, and then rotates the electrical connector to the left downward to an angle substantially parallel to the casing. At this time, the upper elastic piece and the side elastic piece are in close contact with the casing. Because the force arm of the upper elastic piece and the casing is small and the pressing force is large, the deformation of the upper elastic piece is easily caused, and the contact between the upper elastic piece and the casing is unstable.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an electrical connector that can be closely fitted to the mating casing.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical means of the present invention is an electrical connector having an insertion interface, an insulative housing, and a shielding shell coated on the insulative housing, the insulative housing having a front wall, the shielding housing The front wall of the casing is coated on the front side of the front wall, the insertion interface penetrates the front wall and the front wall of the casing, and the shielding casing further has a casing side wall on the left and right sides of the front wall of the casing, and the front wall of the casing has stamping a hole, and a spring piece located in front of the punching hole and extending in the left-right direction.

Compared with the prior art, the upper elastic piece is replaced by the front elastic piece on the front casing wall. During the installation process, the front elastic piece arm can be larger to form an elastic deformation, so that the front elastic piece can be in better contact with the casing.

Referring to the first figure, the front wall 811 of the casing has a punching hole 8111, and a spring piece 8112 located in front of the punching hole 8111 and extending in the left-right direction.

Four side elastic pieces 8131 punched from the shell side wall 813 are provided at a position where the front wall 811 of the shell and the side wall 813 of the shell are at the boundary. The front wall 811 of the casing is provided with a first opening 814 corresponding to the first receiving space 28 and a second opening 815 corresponding to the second receiving space 29. The first opening 814 forms a first port 31 with the first receiving space 28 , and the second opening 815 and the second receiving space 29 form a second port 32 . The electrical connector 100 has a plug-in interface 3 penetrating the front wall 21 and the front wall 811 of the casing, the plug-in interface 3 including a first port 31 and a second port 32 stacked on top of each other, the first port 31 for transmitting a universal serial The second port 32 is used to transmit a network signal. The front wall 811 of the casing has an upper portion 816 on the upper side of the first port 31, a portion 817 between the first port 31 and the second port 32, and a lower portion 818 on the lower side of the second port 32. As shown in the first embodiment of the first figure, the front elastic piece 8112 is disposed at the upper portion 816. As shown in the second embodiment of the fourth figure, the front elastic piece 8112 is disposed at the lower portion 818. One end of the front elastic piece 8112 is a free end, and the other end of the front elastic piece 8112 is connected to the front wall 811 of the casing, and the free end is provided with a contact portion 8113 for bonding with an external device (Xbox casing). Since the front elastic piece 8112 extends in the left-right direction, the distance of the contact portion 8113 from the junction of the front elastic piece 8112 and the front wall 811 is relatively large. When the electrical connector 100 is mounted to the Microsoft game console Xbox case, it can be relatively large The arm is so close that it can be in close contact with the case.
