Description

  The present invention relates to an electrical connector. In particular, the present invention relates to the structure of an electrical connector provided with a press contact for connecting the ends of electric wires by press contact.

  In recent years, office machines such as a copier, a facsimile machine, or a multifunction machine that integrates these machines have become widespread. These office equipments electrically connect a plurality of board connectors in which a wiring harness in which electric wires and connectors are integrally assembled is installed.

  The connector used for the wiring harness described above includes a press contact for connecting the end of the electric wire by press contact. In this press contact, a contact connection portion and a press contact connection portion connected to the mating contact are integrally formed.

  In general, the press contact connection portion has a slot having a pair of press contact blades. When the electric wire is inserted into the slot, the pair of press contact blades pushes away the insulating coating of the electric wire. The pair of press contact blades deforms a single-wire conductor (or a twisted strand) to enable solderless connection that provides electrical connection.

  As such a pressure contact and an electrical connector, a pressure contact that can secure an elastic contact state with the electrical connector even if the outer shape of the connector is very small and has a large number of poles, and an electrical connector using the same are invented. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

The press contact according to Patent Literature 1 includes press contact blades arranged in duplicate, and a pair of elastic contact pieces respectively connected to the outer side of one press contact blade. The two press contact blades are coupled and opposed on the base side so as to form a slot for receiving the electric wire on the inner side. When the electric wire is inserted into the slot, the two press contact blades cut the insulation coating and press the core wire. The elastic contact piece has an elastic pinching portion extending toward the opposite side to the opening of one slot. The elastic clamping portion has a pair of contact portions and is formed in a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward the contact portion.

  In the press contact according to Patent Document 1, press contact blades that are arranged in two stations to be a press contact portion and a pair of elastic contact pieces to be a contact connection portion are arranged coaxially. One pressure contact blade is disposed adjacent to the pair of elastic contact pieces. When the outer shape of the press contact contact configured as described above is further reduced, it is considered that the strain when the electric wire is pressed contacts the elastic contact piece.

  When the electric wire is inserted into the slot provided with the pair of press contact blades, the pair of press contact blades pushes away the insulation coating of the electric wire. Distortion occurs at the base of the press contact blade.

  In the press contact according to Patent Document 1, one press contact blade is disposed close to the pair of elastic contact pieces, so that the pair of elastic contact pieces can be deformed in the opening direction to maintain a predetermined contact pressure. There are concerns that it will be difficult. Therefore, there is a demand for an electrical connector including a minute pressure contact that does not affect the contact connection portion even when the electric wire is pressed. The above can be said to be the subject of the present invention.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector including a minute press contact that does not affect the contact connection portion even if the wire is pressed.

  In order to satisfy the above-mentioned object, the present inventors configure the contact connection portion with a fixed terminal (male terminal), and configure the contact connection portion and the pressure contact connection portion with an L-shaped plate member. Based on this, the inventors have invented an electrical connector having the following new pressure contact.

The third storage chamber is opened on the third side surface adjacent to the second side surface, and the first contact is press-fitted. The third storage chamber communicates with the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber.

  The first contact has a strip-shaped first pressure contact piece and a strip-shaped contact piece. The first press contact piece is provided with a pair of opposing first press contact blades at the tip.

The insulating coating can include either an insulating synthetic resin body or an insulating plating. The term “connecting an electric wire” means that the end of the electric wire is connected to the inside of the connector.

  The substrate can include either a printed circuit board or a substrate such as a panel. The printed circuit board may be a single-sided board, a double-sided board, a rigid board, or a flexible board. The substrate such as a panel may be a front panel, a back panel, or a part of a chassis or a frame.

  The second connector may be a so-called vertical mounting (also referred to as a top type) connector in which the first connector is coupled from a direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the printed circuit board. A so-called horizontal mounting type connector (also referred to as a side type) in which one connector is coupled from a substantially parallel direction may be used.

  The second connector may be arranged by through hole mounting in which the lead of the second contact is soldered to the through hole opened in the printed circuit board, and the lead of the second contact is soldered to a pad provided on the surface of the printed circuit board. You may arrange by surface mounting to attach. The second connector is arranged on the printed circuit board in either through-hole mounting or surface mounting.

It is preferable that the first and second housings have a shape that is formed by only a pair of opposed molds.

  The first and second contacts may be conductive, and the conductive contact may be a contact made of a conductive material. For example, a copper alloy plate is precisely stamped into the first contact. Then, the first contact having a desired shape can be obtained by bending. For example, the second contact can be obtained by precisely stamping a copper alloy plate to obtain a second contact having a desired shape. However, the first and second contacts are not limited to a copper alloy.
