FPC connector

Abstract

An FPC connector comprises a plastic main body, a plurality of terminals and a flap. The terminals are inserted into the plastic main body side by side, the plastic main body is a cuboid and form a concave part, the flap is covered on the concave part, wherein at least more than two terminals are respectively provided with an upper arm, and a downward semi-open type axle hole is formed on each upper arm, a notch corresponding to each upper arm is formed on one side of the flap and a spindle corresponding to each axle hole is formed on each notch, and in virtue of buckling the spindle to the semi-open type axle hole, the flap can be covered on the concave part of the plastic main body in a pivot way. To avoid the flap from shedding at the outside, the two ends of the flap are respectively provided with a boss, the two ends of the plastic main body are respectively provided with a fixing sheet with a check block at the upper part, and the check blocks block the two bosses to fix and limit the flap. The FPC connector of the invention can effectively reduce the volume thereof, thus laying foundation for microminiaturization of electronic products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an FPC connector, in particular to a PFC connector with reliable and firm flip cover assembly and miniaturized volume. Background technique [0002] FPC connectors are used in various civil mobile communication equipment and various personal terminal equipment (such as mobile phones, PDA, GPS, MP3 / MP4, digital cameras, handheld game consoles, various CD players, etc.). It is to realize the connection or transmission of signals between various functional modules inside such equipment or with external equipment, as well as the connection between equipment and power supply or signal source, and finally realize the connection scheme of equipment power supply / signal. like figure 1 As shown, the existing PFC connector includes a plastic main body 7, and its structure is designed as a circular (or almost circular) rotating shaft 81 on both sides of the flip cover 8. On both sides of the plastic main body 7, a pair of correspondingly ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. The height of the connector must be greater than a certain value (minimum not less than 1.5mm), otherwise there is no space to design a groove-shaped notch and an undercut structure on the plastic body; or after design, due to space constraints, the structure is too weak and prone to structural damage ;

[0004] 2. The clamshell will be stressed during the assembly process and undergo a deformation process (when the clamshell shaft crosses the plastic body and the groove-shaped notch, it will be deformed due to the resistance of the plastic body), and there are certain requirements for the strength of the clamshell itself;

[0005] 3. The flip shaft needs to have a certain strength, and also needs space guarantee

[0006] It can be seen from the above that the existing FPC connector has certain requirements for its size. If the size is too small, the structure of the existing FPC connector product is difficult to realize because there is no guarantee of space.

Therefore, when the existing FPC connector is difficult to apply to smaller products
