Thinned connector

Abstract

The invention discloses a thinned connector, which comprises a shell and at least one terminal, wherein the shell has a first groove surface and a second groove surface on which an insertion groove is formed; the insertion groove is exposed on a first side face; the terminal is arranged in the shell and has a reverse hook and an inclined surface; the reverse hook springs in the insertion groove; the inclined surface is pressed against the second groove surface; and a distance between the inclined surface and the first groove surface is gradually reduced along the insertion direction of the insertion groove through the first side face. Therefore, by using the single-arm-type reverse hook, a required springing space is reduced, and requirements for thinning are met; and the reverse hook is matched with the inclined surface to force a plate piece to be gradually inserted into the insertion groove, so that the aim of stabilizing the plate piece can be fulfilled under the condition of reducing insertion resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connector, in particular to a thinned connector for inserting a board. Background technique [0002] refer to figure 1 , figure 2 , taking a connector 2 generally used for inserting a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 1 as an example, it mainly includes a housing 21 and a metal terminal 22 inserted in the housing 21 . The housing 21 has a slot 211 . The terminal 22 has two elastic buckles 221 relatively elastic in the slot 211 . Thereby, when the flexible printed circuit board 1 is inserted into the slot 211 of the casing 21, it will first push the aforementioned elastic buckle 221 to spring outward, and wait for the flexible printed circuit board 1 to be inserted into the slot. After 211, the aforementioned elastic buckle 221 utilizes its own elastic force to pinch the flexible circuit board 1 inward, so that the flexible circuit board 1 is positioned and electrically connected to the terminal 22 . [0003] However,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Since the aforementioned elastic buckle 221 will spring relatively, therefore, the slot 211 of the casing 21 must have enough space, so that the aforementioned elastic buckle 221 can spring outward or move outward without hindrance. The inner side is clamped, and the design of expanding the slot 211 will keep the height of the housing 21 at least 2mm-3mm and cannot be reduced

[0005] 2. The clamping method of the aforementioned elastic buckle 221 with both arms will form a large obstacle to the inserted flexible circuit board 1, causing the user to apply a large external force to successfully complete the insertion. more laborious and inconvenient

[0006] 3. The flexible circuit board 1 is limited by the clamping method of the double-armed elastic buckle 221, and can only be inserted in the middle of the connector 2, so that it is impossible to change the position of the housing 21 during design. The position of slot 211 has the disadvantage of limited use
