Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector and in particular, the present invention relates to a power module header connector. .
  • Header connectors are used in electronics devices and systems for establishing electrical connections between different function modules for transmission of electrical power and/or signals.
  • One type of such connectors is for electrically connecting two printed circuit boards (PCB) to each other.
  • PCB printed circuit boards
  • the contact terminals of such connectors are configured with larger physical dimensions and with more solder tails for mounting to the PCBs. It is therefore desirable to provide a header connector which is suitable for mounting to PCB with relatively high strength and reliability.
  • a header connector includes a housing and first and second sets of terminals disposed in the housing.
  • the housing has a front side, a rear side, a mating face at the front side, a mounting face perpendicular to the mating face, and a first and second sets of slots in which one of the first and second sets of terminals is disposed.
  • Each one of the first set of slots has a shoulder portion at a back end thereof, and the shoulder portion faces the front end.
  • Each one of the first set of terminals has a front end disposed adjacent to the mating face, a bottom end disposed adjacent to the mounting face and a locating end engaged to the shoulder portion to prevent said one of the first set of terminals from moving backwards relative to the housing.
  • the shoulder portion has a projection formed thereon, the projection extends towards the mating face and engages the locating end to prevent the first set of terminals from moving away from the housing towards the mounting face.
  • the locating end of each of the first set of terminals has a notch into which the projection is received such that correct position of each of the first set of terminals is ensured in a corresponding slot and meanwhile, the engagement between the projection and the notch prevents movement of the first set of terminals relative to the housing towards the mounting face.
  • each of the first set of slots opens to the mounting face, and the projection is positioned between the mounting face and the locating end, to prevent the first set of terminals from moving away from the housing towards the mounting face.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a header connector according to one embodiment of the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is a front view of Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 3 is a partial cross sectional view of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a header connector of Fig. 1 to be mated with a corresponding receptacle connector;
  • Fig. 6A is a partial cross sectional perspective view along A-A of Fig. 2 showing assembly status of one of a first set of terminals in the housing;
  • Fig. 6B is a partial enlarged view of Fig. 6A;
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective view of Fig. 6A before insertion of the one of the first set of terminals into the housing;
  • Fig. 8 is a partial cross sectional perspective view along B-B of Fig. 2 showing assembly status of one of a second set of terminals in the housing;
  • Fig. 9 is a perspective view of Fig. 8 before insertion of the one of the second set of terminals into the housing.
  • a header connector 100 includes a housing 110 and first and second sets of terminals 120, 130 disposed in housing 110.
  • Housing 110 has a front side 102 and a rear side 104 opposite to front side 102. At front side 102 there is a mating face 106 for mating with a counterpart connector 200.
  • housing 110 has a mounting face 108 positioned perpendicular to mating face 106, for mounting connector 100 to a printed circuit board (PCB, not shown).
  • Housing 110 has a first set of slots 1120 and a second set of slots 1130. First set of slots 1120 are located closer to mounting face . 108.
  • Second set of slots 1130 are located away from mounting face 108.
  • First and second sets of slots 1120, 1130 maybe staggered with respect to each other (Fig. 4) and accordingly, first and second sets of terminals 120 and 130 are disposed in housing 110 in a staggered manner, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
  • each one of the first set of terminals 120 has a front end 122, a bottom end 128 and a locating end 124 linked together to a middle portion 123 to form an integral structure.
  • Front end 122 is offset from middle portion 123 towards bottom end 128.
  • Each one of the first set of terminals 120 is inserted into a corresponding one of first slot 1120 of housing 110 from front side 102 towards rear side 104, i.e. along direction 1202 (Fig. 7).
  • front end 122 of terminal 120 is position at, and becomes accessible from, mating face 106, for establishing electrical connection with counterpart connector 200.
  • Bottom end 128 passes through mating face 106 during the insertion process, and extends through mounting face 108 upon completion of the insertion process.
  • First slots 1120 open to mounting face 108 such that when first terminals 120 are inserted into first slots 1120, mounting ends 128 are fully exposed from housing 110, for mounting to an underneath PCB (not shown).
  • locating end 124 of each of the first terminals 120 acts against shoulder portion 114 of a corresponding slot 1120. By this engagement, terminal 120 is prevented from moving further towards rear side 104 of housing 110.
  • at locating end 124 of each of the first terminals 120 there is formed a notch 126 and at shoulder portion 114 of each of the first slot 1120, there is formed a projection 116 facing front side 102 of housing 110.
  • terminal 120 When terminal 120 is inserted into slot 1120, projection 1 16 is placed in notch 126. By the engagement of projection 116 and notch 126 in this manner, terminal 120 is prevented from moving out of housing 110 through mounting face 108. Accordingly, terminals 120 are securely retained in slot 1120 and will not be detached from housing 110 even during the process of removing connector 100 from the PCB.
  • each of the second set of terminals 130 has a front end 132 and a bottom end 138 linked together to a middle portion 133 to form an integral structure.
  • Each of the second set of terminals 130 is inserted into a corresponding slot 1130 of housing 110 along direction 1302, i.e. from rear side to front side.
  • Each of the second set of terminals 130 has a middle portion 133 of relatively longer dimension and likewise, each of the set of slots 1130 has a longer slot dimension.
  • a housing which has a first set of slots and a second sets of slots (step 1702).
  • a shoulder portion In each one of the first set of slots there is formed a shoulder portion and a projection extending from the shoulder portion towards a front side of the housing.
  • a first set of terminals and a second set of terminals are formed.
  • Each of the first set of terminals has a locating end and a notch formed at the locating end.
  • each of the first set of terminals is inserted into a corresponding one of the first set of slots, along a direction from the front side of the housing to a rear side of the housing.
  • the locating end of each of the first set of terminals acts against the shoulder portion.
  • the projection is placed in the notch.
  • each of the second set of terminals is inserted into a corresponding one of the second set of slots, along a direction from the rear side to the front side of the housing.
