Embodiment Construction

[0029] will now refer to Figure 1 to Figure 8 Examples of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a cable connector connected to the main board M of a computer.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 , the cable connector shown in the figure includes: a connector 10, which is at the end of the cable 1, and is used to connect the cable 1 to a motherboard, a circuit board M of a computer or other electronic devices. The cable 1 and its connector 10 are fitted with a mating connector 20, and means for locking the connector 10 to the mating connector in the engaged state are included as part of the connector 10 and as means for disengaging the locking means. release mechanism.

[0031] Connector 10 includes: housing 11, wherein outer profile is substantially side-by-side rectangular (although other multiple configurations can be used), and described housing 11 has open front surface as connection part (see image 3 and...

Abstract

A mating connector for connecting a connector, locking means for securing the connector to the mating connector, and a release mechanism for the locking means are provided. The locking means includes a pair of hook members extending along respective opposite side surfaces of a housing, fulcrum portions rotatably supporting respective hook members with respect to the housing, engagement pieces provided on the hook members, engagement recesses provided to the mating connector side for engagement with the engagement pieces, and spring pieces provided on the hook members for urging the engagement pieces in a direction toward the engagement recesses. The release mechanism is arranged so that by movement of a slide cover slidable in an axial direction of a cable with respect to the housing, the hook members are rotated such that the engagement pieces are disengaged from the engagement recesses.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrical cable connectors, and more particularly to a high density electrical cable terminated to a connector having slidingly actuated engagement means engaged therein. [0002] Laid-open Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 6-208866 discloses a technique for increasing the mounting density of a plurality of cable connectors. This technology reduces the thickness of a locking device (removal protection mechanism) for a connector guide of a mating connector mounted on a motherboard, thereby reducing the size of the connector. This makes it possible to increase the mounting density of multiple cable connectors. This patent shows the use of pins which extend the length of the connector and are manipulable by the user. The described pins are difficult to scale to high density applications. [0003] A number of cable connectors can be plugged into the computer's motherboard. Recently, as computer processin...
