Floating guide plug connector

This creation is a technical field of connectors, in particular, a floating guide insertion connector with a large guide angle.

When the traditional circuit board provides the connection between the male connector and the female connector, the circuit board may block the line of sight and cannot be directly and smoothly connected, just like blind insertion.

Blind insertion may be caused during the insertion process, and there are reasons for misalignment, which may cause damage to the male head and the female seat, and even to the damage of the circuit board.

In view of this, this author proposes a floating guide plug connector to solve the lack of conventional technology.

The first objective of this creation is to provide a floating guide plug connector, which is applied to a circuit board and an electronic component to achieve the purpose of blindly connecting the circuit board and the electronic component.

The second purpose of this creation is to insert the connector according to the above floating guide, which allows a large tolerance of misalignment during the coupling and can smoothly couple the male head and the female seat within a certain range.

The third object of this creation is to insert the connector according to the above floating guide, which is capable of floating connection and can be disassembled and combined.

The fourth object of this creation is to insert the connector according to the above floating guide, by the outer edge of the housing of the female seat being less than or equal to the inner edge of the housing of the male head.

The fifth object of this creation is to insert the connector according to the above floating guide, and insert the tapered body of the female seat into the tapered accommodating space of the male head to electrically connect the electrodes of the male head and the female base.

The sixth object of this creation is to insert the connector according to the above floating guide, the female seat provides a fastener to fix on or detach from the circuit board.

In order to achieve the above purpose and other purposes, the present invention provides a floating guide insertion connector application circuit board and electronic components. The floating guide insertion connector includes a male head and a female seat. The male head includes a first casing, a third casing, a first electrode and a fixing member. The first housing forms a first through hole, a gap, a first accommodating space, a first opening and a first electrode slot. The first housing can be provided on the circuit board. The third housing further includes a locking head, a protrusion, a third through hole, a third accommodating space and a plug. The locking head passes through the first opening and rotates at an angle to allow the protrusion to be locked in the first accommodating space to combine the first housing and the third housing. The first electrode passes through the third accommodating space, the plug, the third through hole and the first electrode slot. The female seat includes a socket and a second electrode. The socket forms a second accommodating space and a sliding surface. One end of the second electrode is disposed in the socket and the other end of the second electrode is disposed in the second accommodating space to connect the electronic component. Wherein, the sliding surface is combined with the third accommodating space, so that the socket is combined with the plug to electrically connect the first electrode and the second electrode.
