Description

Electrical connector
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly, to an electrical connector capable of being used with a circuit material.
Background
Generally, the electrical connector maintains the engagement with the circuit material by an interference force (also called an engagement force) generated by the contact with the circuit material.
However, as electronic products are becoming thinner, the overall height of the circuit material used in the electronic products and the electrical connector used therewith is required to be reduced. Therefore, the problem of insufficient engagement force often occurs due to insufficient contact area (i.e., insufficient interference height) of the circuit material and the electrical connector used in cooperation therewith, so that the circuit material is easily separated from the electrical connector used in cooperation when being impacted by external force, thereby affecting the normal operation of the electronic product and even causing damage to the electronic product.

For the technical idea of the present application, please refer to the disclosure of fig. 1 to fig. 19 together.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the electrical connector 1 of the present application includes: the socket includes an insulating base 11, at least one sidewall terminal 12, at least one conductive terminal 13, and a cover 14.
The insulating base 11 can be used for carrying the circuit material 2, and preferably, the insulating base 11 has a limiting structure 112, such as a concave-convex structure, so as to limit the circuit material 2 by the limiting structure 112 and limit the moving range of the circuit material 2 on the insulating base 11.
As shown in fig. 11, the sidewall terminal 12 can be selectively provided with a sidewall terminal side plugging structure 123, the sidewall terminal side plugging structure 123 is used for plugging the insulating base 11 to position the sidewall terminal 12 by interference fit with the insulating base 11, and the sidewall terminal 12 is provided on the sidewall of the insulating base 11, however, without being limited thereto, the sidewall terminal 12 can be selectively positioned on the insulating base 11 in other non-plugging manner (e.g. elastic clamping). As shown in fig. 6, the sidewall terminal 12 has a sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 and a sidewall terminal side snap structure 122, the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 may be an elastic structure formed by bending metal, and the elastic structure may be elastically deformed so that the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 may have an open shape as shown in fig. 8 or a closed shape as shown in fig. 9.
Preferably, the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 has a force application mechanism 1211 exposed on the insulation base 11, and the force application mechanism 1211 can provide a force to force the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 to elastically deform. The side wall terminal-side clamping structure 122 is, for example, a clamping hole structure for clamping the gland 14.
As shown in fig. 10, the conductive terminals 13 are embedded in the insulating base 11 and have a conductive terminal side overlapping structure 131 and a conductive terminal side contact structure 132. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the terminal-side lap structure 131 has a C-shaped clamping mechanism 1311 for clamping the cover insulator-side lap structure 1411 by the C-shaped clamping mechanism 1311, so as to rotatably lap the cover insulator-side lap structure 1411. Preferably, the conductive terminals 13 are two conductive terminals 13 arranged in a staggered manner, the opening directions of the C-shaped clamping mechanisms 1311, 1311 'of the two conductive terminals 13 are the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, respectively, wherein the first direction D1 is different from the second direction D2, so as to prevent the capping insulator side overlapping structure 1411 from separating from the conductive terminal side overlapping structure 131 in the first direction D1 or the second direction D2, that is, the movement of the capping insulator side overlapping structure 1411 in the first direction D1 is stopped by the C-shaped clamping mechanism 1311' with the opening direction being the second direction D2, and similarly, the movement of the capping insulator side overlapping structure 1411 in the second direction D2 is stopped by the C-shaped clamping mechanism 1311 with the opening direction being the first direction D1.
The pressing cover 14 is used for pressing the circuit material 2. As shown in fig. 5, the pressing cover 14 has a pressing cover insulator 141 and a metal reinforcing member 142, and the metal reinforcing member 142 is embedded in the pressing cover insulator 141 to provide structural reinforcement to the pressing cover insulator 141 by the material strength of the metal material, so as to prevent the pressing cover insulator 141 from having insufficient structural strength to press the circuit material 2.
Preferably, the metal reinforcing member 142 extends on the long side of the capping insulator 141 (i.e., the side of the capping insulator 141 with a longer span) to provide structural reinforcement to the long side of the capping insulator 141, so as to prevent the long side of the capping insulator 141 from being deformed by a force and thus unable to effectively press the circuit material member 2. Furthermore, the metal reinforcing member 142 is made of a metal plate material, and the metal plate material can be bent to form a bending structure 1422 for providing structural reinforcement. As shown in fig. 14, the bending structure 1422 extends on the long side of the gland insulator 141, so that the long side of the gland insulator 141 can be prevented from being deformed by a force.

The cover insulator-side engaging structure 1411 rotatably engages the conductive terminal-side engaging structure 131, so that the cover 14 can be rotated to the pressing position P1 shown in fig. 2 to 3 or the non-pressing position P2 shown in fig. 16 to 18 by rotating the cover insulator-side engaging structure 1411 relative to the conductive terminal-side engaging structure 131.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 3, when the pressing cover 14 is located at the pressing position P1, the pressing structure 1412 on the insulator side of the pressing cover presses the circuit material 2 to force the circuit material 2 to approach the contact structure 132 on the conductive terminal side, so that the contact structure 21 on the circuit material side electrically contacts the contact structure 132 on the conductive terminal side, and the circuit material 2 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 1. At this time, if the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 is a closed body, the sidewall terminal side engaging structure 122 can engage with the metal reinforcement side engaging structure 1421 as shown in fig. 8, so as to limit the rotation range of the pressing cover 14 by the material strength of the metal material to maintain the state of the circuit material 2 electrically connected to the electrical connector 1.
Furthermore, when the sidewall terminal side switch structure 121 is an open-type structure, as shown in fig. 9, the sidewall terminal side engaging structure 122 can release the metal reinforcement side engaging structure 1421 from being engaged with, at this time, if the pressing cover 14 is located at the pressing position P1 as shown in fig. 2 to 3, the pressing cover 14 can be forced to rotate to the non-pressing position P2 as shown in fig. 16 to 18, so as to release the pressing of the pressing cover insulator side pressing structure 1412 on the circuit material 2, so that the circuit material 2 can leave the conductive terminal side contacting structure 132, so as to release the state that the circuit material 2 is electrically connected to the electrical connector 1.
In addition, as shown in fig. 14, the insulation seat 11 can be selectively provided with an insulation seat side plugging structure 111, when the pressing cover 14 is located at the non-pressing position P2, the insulation seat side plugging structure 111 is exposed on the insulation seat 11 to provide for plugging and unplugging of the circuit material member 2 on the insulation seat 11, as shown in fig. 19, when the pressing cover 14 is located at the pressing position P1, the pressing cover 14 shields at least a portion of the insulation seat side plugging structure 111 to provide a stop for plugging and unplugging of the circuit material member 2 on the insulation seat 11.
