For example, an element, structure, article, or apparatus that comprises a plurality of elements is not limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such element, structure, article, or apparatus. In addition, unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or".

Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a connector according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. In fig. 1, the connector 10 may be used to connect circuit boards.

The connector 10 includes a female end 20 and a male end 30. In fig. 1, the female end 20 is shown on the top and the male end 30 is shown on the bottom.

In the top view of fig. 1, a first body 22 is provided at the female end 20, and the first body 22 is opened to assemble a first terminal 24. The female terminal 20 is illustrated as a rectangular parallelepiped, but in other embodiments, the female terminal 20 may be other shapes. A retaining wall 222 extends from each end of the first body 22. The first body 22 forms a first guiding element 224, a first fastening element 226 and a third fastening element 228. The first guide 224 is formed at the intersection of the first body 22 and the retaining wall 222. The first fastener 226 is formed on the first body 22 and the third fastener 228 is formed on the retaining wall 222.

In the bottom view of fig. 1, the male end 30 provides a first body 32, and the second body 32 is opened to assemble a second terminal 34. Here, the male end 30 is illustrated as a rectangular parallelepiped, and in other embodiments, the male end 30 may be other shapes. An elastic portion 326 extends from both ends of the second body 32. The second body 32 forms a second guiding member 322, a second fastening member 324 and a fourth fastening member 328.

The second guide 322 is formed at the intersection of the second body 32 and the elastic portion 326. The second fastener 324 is formed on the second body 32 and the fourth fastener is formed on the elastic portion. When the first guide 226 is coupled to the second guide 322, the male end 30 and the female end 20 form an included angle (e.g., the included angle ranges from 25 degrees to 60 degrees), as shown in the upper diagram of fig. 2. Further, by reducing the included angle, the first fastener 224 and the second fastener 324 and the third fastener 228 and the fourth fastener 328 are fastened in sequence until the elastic portion 326 is fastened to the wall portion 222, as shown in the lower diagram of fig. 2.

Herein, the first guides 226 are cylinders and the second guides 322 are circular grooves, the size of the circular grooves can be used for accommodating the cylinders, and the number of the first guides 226 is the same as that of the second guides 322 and is also 2, and the first guides 226 are symmetrically formed between the first body 22 and the retaining wall portion 222, and the second guides 322 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the second body 32; or in another embodiment, the first guiding element 226 may be a circular groove, so that the second guiding element 322 is changed into a cylinder. The first guide 226 is disposed corresponding to the second guide 322.

Here, the first fasteners 224 are the openings formed in the first body 22 and the second fasteners 324 are the first bumps formed in the second body, and the number of the first fasteners 224 is the same as the number of the second fasteners 324, which are 2, and are symmetrically and respectively formed on the first body 22 and the second body 32; or in another embodiment, the first guiding element 226 may be a first protrusion, so that the second guiding element 322 is changed into an opening. Wherein, the opening is arranged corresponding to the first bump.

Herein, the third fasteners 228 are the stoppers formed on the retaining wall portion 222 and the fourth fasteners 328 are the second bumps formed on the elastic portion 326, and the number of the third fasteners 228 is the same as the number of the fourth fasteners 328, and is 2, and the third fasteners are symmetrically and respectively formed on the retaining wall portion 222 and the second body 32; alternatively, in another embodiment, the third fasteners 228 can also be the second protrusions formed on the retaining wall 222 and the fourth fasteners 328 can be the stops formed on the elastic portion 326. Wherein, the stop block is arranged corresponding to the second bump. It is noted that, referring to the middle drawing of fig. 3, the stopper (i.e., the third fastener 228) has a first inclined surface 2262, and the second protrusion (i.e., the fourth fastener 328) has a second inclined surface 3282, when the third fastener 228 and the fourth fastener 328 are fastened together, the elastic portion 326 is pressed to deform, and the second inclined surface 3282 moves along the first inclined surface 2262 until the second inclined surface 3282 is separated from the first inclined surface 2262, so that the elastic portion 326 is released from the pressing deformation and is fastened to the wall blocking portion 222.

For example, referring also to the top view of fig. 2, the male end 30 is inserted into the female end 20 at an angle such that the first guide 226 couples with the second guide 322 due to the cylindrical body and circular groove. Thus, after the cylinder is coupled to the circular recess, the male end 30 can be rotated against the female end 20 in a manner that is also illustrated in the upper drawing of fig. 3. Then, after the male end 30 is inserted into the female end 20, the angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is changed, for example, the angle of the angle is reduced, so that the male end 30 is gradually parallel to the direction of the female end 20, and herein, it is rotated downward. When the included angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is reduced to a certain angle, the second fastening member 324 is fastened to the first fastening portion 224 in advance, that is, the second fastening member 324 is inserted into the first fastening portion 224, and the lower diagram of fig. 3 is also shown. When the included angle between the male end 30 and the female end 20 is further reduced to approximately 0 degree or 0 degree, the elastic portion 326 slides into the wall portion 222, so that the elastic portion 326 recovers the elastic force to lock the second protrusion on the stopper, as shown in the middle diagram of fig. 3. Finally, the male end 30 is retained in the female end 20, as also shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 2.

Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it should be understood that various changes in the form, construction, features, methods and quantities described in the claims may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and therefore the scope of the present disclosure should not be limited by the claims appended hereto.
