Definitions

  • This invention relates to a socket for a printed circuit board into which an edge portion of a printed circuit board is directly inserted to directly form a connector.
  • such a connector has a header portion having a plurality of spring contacts.
  • the spring contacts are arranged in a housing made of an insulating material and forming a socket.
  • the contact portions of the spring contacts are project into an insertion opening for a printed circuit board which is called a daughter board.
  • These contact portions form contact rows arranged at predetermined intervals in the axial direction of the insertion opening.
  • a clearance for fitting the edge portion of the printed circuit board is formed between the contact rows.
  • the insertion opening side have grooves which are alternately arranged at predetermined intervals, at a pair of opposed walls forming the insertion opening of the header portion. The tops of the contact portions project from the grooves, retreating in the grooves and applying a spring force to the edge portion.
  • the contact portions can come back to their initial positions when the edge portion of the printed circuit board is fitted in the insertion opening. For this reason, the contact portions of the spring contacts certainly contact the contact portion of the printed circuit board and hold the printed circuit board at the header portion by an entire spring force of the spring contacts.
  • a pair of guide portions are arranged close to both longitudinal ends of the insertion opening.
  • the guide portions guide three surfaces of the printed circuit board along the sides thereof and prevent the edge portion and the header portion from being aligned erroneously.
  • the guide portions guides the three surfaces along the both sides of the printed circuit board.
  • the top edge portion of the printed circuit board is inserted, at desired attitude and in desired position, into the insertion opening. Since the contact portions of the spring contacts work as resistors to the edge portion inserted in this manner, the printed circuit board needs to be pushed down with a very strong force against the urging force of the spring contacts.
  • the printed circuit board since the printed circuit board is guided by the guide portions, it can be reliably pushed down at its predetermined position, without causing erroneous alignment, even when it is pushed with such a strong force.
  • a connector has been developed which incorporates an eject mechanism.
  • a printed circuit board is guided between a pair of guide portions. It needs to be extracted parallel with the guide portions. Eject mechanism are therefore provided at both guide portions for guiding the sides of the printed circuit board.
  • the connector becomes complicated in structure and comes to have a large size.
  • the eject mechanisms In order to extract the printed circuit board in parallel, the eject mechanisms must be operated simultaneously. If one eject mechanism is operated prior to the other, the printed circuit board will be inclined between the guide portions. In the worst case, the board will be fixed between the guide portions and will no longer be able to be extracted without difficulty.
  • This invention has been made in consideration of the above matter. Its object is to provide a simple socket for a printed circuit board, in which the board can be reliably fitted and from which the board can be easily and readily extracted by a simple operation.
  • a socket for a printed circuit board comprises: a header portion having an insertion opening provided between a pair of opposing walls, for allowing a plurality of contacts to project and for receiving the printed circuit board; a pair of guide portions extending from portions close to longitudinal ends of the insertion opening of the header portion, for guiding sides of the printed circuit board in the inserting and extracting direction thereof; and eject lever arranged at one of the guide portions, for extracting one end of the printed circuit board from the insertion opening; and an elastic guide arm arranged at the other guide portion, for guiding a side of the other end of the printed circuit board.
  • the eject lever extracts one end of the printed circuit board from the insertion opening, the guide arm is pressed and elastically deformed on the side of the other end of the printed circuit board, to allow the printed circuit board to rotate between the pair of guide portions.
  • the guide portions comprise a pair of walls extending in the inserting and extracting direction of the printed circuit board, a pair of guide rails extending from the walls in opposite directions to guide the sides of the printed circuit board, and an eject lever container arranged outside the guide rails between the walls.
  • the eject lever comprise an operation portion axially coupled to the walls in the eject lever container and a hook portion provided on a header side of the operation portion to extract the printed circuit board from the insertion opening when the operation portion is rotated.
  • the eject lever have swelling portions projection from the operation portion toward the walls.
  • the swelling portions are held by protruding portions which projects from the walls in the opposite directions when the printed circuit board is fitted in the insertion opening.
  • the pair of guide rails form a guide groove communicating with the insertion opening and guiding three surface along the sides of the printed circuit board, extend along part of the walls and restrict the angle through which the eject lever is rotated.
  • the other guide portion comprise a pair of walls extending in the inserting and extracting direction of the printed circuit board and defining a gap containing the guide arm, and a pair of guide rails projecting from the walls in the opposite directions and forming, together with the guide arm, a guide groove communicating with the insertion opening.
  • the other guide portion comprises a connection wall connecting the walls at the side remote from the guide groove, and a clearance is formed between the connection wall and the guide arm.
  • a pair of guide portions guides its side when the printed circuit board is fitted. Even if great force is applied as an edge portion of the printed circuit board is inserted into the insertion opening against an urging force of the spring contacts, the guide portions guide both sides of the board, respectively. The printed circuit board is thereby reliably guided to a predetermined position without causing any erroneous alignment.
  • the eject lever provided at one of the guide portions is operated, extracting and one end of the printed circuit board from the insertion opening.
  • the guide arm of an elastic structure arranged at the other guide portion is elastically deformed while pressed at the other side of the board.
  • the guide arm is then rotated between the pair of guide portions. No unnecessary force is applied between the printed circuit board and the guide portions, and the force the spring contacts applies to the printed circuit board whose one end is extracted from the insertion opening is reduced by half since one end of the board has already been extracted. The entire board can be easily extracted from the insertion opening.
  • One of the guide portions may have an eject lever container located between a pair of walls and adjacent to a pair of guide rails.
  • the eject lever is contained compact design the eject lever container.
  • a pair of guide rails may form a guide groove for guiding three surfaces along the sides of the printed circuit board, extending along parts of the walls and restricting the rotary range of the eject lever. If so, the guide rails accurately guide the sides of the printed circuit board, and the eject lever is always rotated in a predetermined range.
  • the other guide portion may have a pair of guide rails extending from a pair of wall portions and forming a guide groove together with the guide arm. In this case, the printed circuit board is guided between the guide rails and rotated stably.
  • the other guide portion has a connection wall for connecting the pair of wall portions and a clearance is formed between the connection wall and the guide arm, the guide arm is prevented from being significantly deformed and further protected from damage resulting from contact members.
