Description

電連接器 Electrical connector

本發明係關於一種電連接器,其沿面方向電性連接分別安裝於並置之一對被連接構件上之導體連接部之間。 The present invention relates to an electrical connector that is electrically connected in a planar direction between two conductor pairs that are juxtaposed on a pair of connected members.

例如,於電極機器內部,配置組裝有複數個如印刷配線基板(PCB:printed circuit board)般之平板狀構件(基板)。揭示有將該等基板彼此對向配置時,用於電性連接2個基板之各種電連接器(例如,參照專利文獻1至3)。該等電連接器係夾於相對向之被連接基板之間。又,其成為相對於被連接基板面沿大致垂直方向進行電性連接之構造。 For example, a plurality of flat members (substrates) such as a printed circuit board (PCB) are disposed inside the electrode device. Various electrical connectors for electrically connecting two substrates when the substrates are opposed to each other are disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 to 3). The electrical connectors are sandwiched between oppositely connected substrates. Further, it has a structure in which electrical connection is made in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the surface of the substrate to be connected.

該類電連接器包含所需數目之包含彈性導體之接觸器,以於夾於相對向之2個被連接基板之間之狀態下,彈性接觸於配設於各基板面上之例如電路配線之導體連接部(連接焊盤)。該等接觸器於絕緣殼體之接觸器收納室中以特定間距排列。各接觸器包括:保持部,其固定於絕緣殼體上;及2個接觸部,其自絕緣殼體之2個主表面分別向2個被連接基板面側突出。又,藉由2個接觸部中之一個與一個被連接基板面之連接焊盤彈性接觸,另一個與另一個被連接基板面之連接焊盤彈性接觸,將該等被連接基板電性連接。此處,可反覆進行接觸器與連接焊盤之連接及分離。 The electrical connector includes a required number of contactors including elastic conductors for elastically contacting, for example, circuit wiring disposed on the surfaces of the substrates, in a state of being sandwiched between the two connected substrates. Conductor connection (connection pad). The contactors are arranged at a specific pitch in the contactor housing of the insulative housing. Each of the contactors includes a holding portion that is fixed to the insulating case, and two contact portions that protrude from the two main surfaces of the insulating case toward the two connected substrate surface sides. Further, one of the two contact portions is in elastic contact with the connection pad of the substrate surface to be connected, and the other is elastically contacted with the connection pad of the other substrate surface, and the connected substrates are electrically connected. Here, the connection and separation of the contactor and the connection pad can be repeated.

然而,根據電子機器之不同,例如有如液晶背光用基板般,水平地並置被連接基板而使該等之連接焊盤相對於其 基板面沿水平方向電性連接之情形。作為如此般之水平連接用連接器,揭示有各種電連接器(例如,參照專利文獻4、5)。但,相對於該基板面沿水平方向進行電性連接之先前之電連接器係將接觸器焊接固著於配設於各基板面上之連接焊盤上之構造。又,如此般之電連接器無法反覆進行該接觸器與連接焊盤之連接分離。且,與適用於上述對向配置之被連接基板之電連接器相比,其構造較複雜。 However, depending on the electronic device, for example, like a substrate for a liquid crystal backlight, the connected substrates are juxtaposed horizontally so that the connection pads are opposed to the substrate The case where the substrate faces are electrically connected in the horizontal direction. As such a horizontal connection connector, various electrical connectors are disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, the prior electrical connector that is electrically connected to the substrate surface in the horizontal direction is a structure in which the contactor is soldered to the connection pads disposed on the surface of each substrate. Moreover, such an electrical connector cannot repeatedly separate the connection between the contactor and the connection pad. Moreover, the structure is more complicated than that of the electrical connector suitable for the above-described oppositely disposed connected substrates.

Hereinafter, the drawings are schematic, and the ratios of the respective dimensions and the like are different from the actual ones. In the drawings, the same reference numerals will be given to the same or similar parts, and a part of the same reference numerals will be omitted.

(第1實施形態) (First embodiment)

參照圖1至圖3就本發明之第1實施形態之電連接器進行說明。 An electrical connector according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3 .

如圖1所示,本實施形態之電連接器10中,包含例如樹脂般之絕緣體之絕緣殼體11係大致扁平之大致長方體,且其為第1主面12與第2主面13相對向之構造。又,第1主面12形成殼體之一面,將印刷配線電路等2個被連接構件以相互對接而配置之方式抵接於該第1主面。第1主面12亦可有階差,2個被連接構件之配置位置為同一面或有階差之面;該等配置為同一平面方向即水平方向。於第1主面12側,並置有複數行所需數量(本實施形態中為5個)之例如線狀例如直線狀之狹縫狀之開口14。如圖2所示,該等開口14連通於設置於絕緣殼體11內之第1接觸器收納室15。於該等第1接觸器收納室15中,以沿收納室延伸之方式分別安裝有包含導體之第1接觸器16。 As shown in Fig. 1, in the electrical connector 10 of the present embodiment, the insulating case 11 including a resin-like insulator is a substantially flat substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and the first main surface 12 and the second main surface 13 are opposed to each other. Construction. Further, the first main surface 12 is formed on one surface of the casing, and the two connected members such as the printed wiring circuit are placed in contact with each other so as to be in contact with each other. The first main surface 12 may have a step, and the positions of the two connected members are the same surface or a stepped surface; the arrangement is the same plane direction, that is, the horizontal direction. On the first main surface 12 side, a plurality of slits 14 having a linear shape such as a linear shape, for example, in a plurality of rows (in this embodiment, five) are placed in parallel. As shown in FIG. 2, the openings 14 communicate with the first contactor housing chamber 15 provided in the insulating housing 11. The first contactors 16 including the conductors are respectively attached to the first contactor housing chambers 15 so as to extend along the housing chambers.

第1接觸器16包括板狀彈簧連結部161、及包含連結於該連結部161之兩側之可朝板面方向彈性變形之第1彈性部162a及第2彈性部162b之彈性部。連結部161連結第1彈性部162a及第2彈性部162b之各自之基端。連結部161具有朝絕緣殼體11之第2主面13側延伸之突設部161a。於上述彈性部162a、162b之各自之前端連結有一對接觸部163a、163b。即,於第1彈性部162a之前端連結第1接觸部163a;於第2彈性部162b之前端連結第2接觸部163b。再者,亦可於第1接觸部163a之肩部形成有突起部164。另,第1接觸 器收納室15可限制第1接觸器16之板厚方向之彎曲,而沿板面方向自由活動。突起部164位於第1彈性部162a之前端部,被收納室之內側壁所夾,並可使上述活動順暢。 The first contactor 16 includes a plate-shaped spring coupling portion 161 and an elastic portion including a first elastic portion 162a and a second elastic portion 162b that are coupled to both sides of the coupling portion 161 and elastically deformable in the plate surface direction. The coupling portion 161 connects the base ends of the first elastic portion 162a and the second elastic portion 162b. The connecting portion 161 has a protruding portion 161a that extends toward the second main surface 13 side of the insulating case 11. A pair of contact portions 163a and 163b are coupled to the respective front ends of the elastic portions 162a and 162b. In other words, the first contact portion 163a is connected to the front end of the first elastic portion 162a, and the second contact portion 163b is connected to the front end of the second elastic portion 162b. Further, a protrusion 164 may be formed on the shoulder of the first contact portion 163a. In addition, the first contact The accommodating chamber 15 can restrict the bending of the first contactor 16 in the thickness direction and freely move in the direction of the panel surface. The protruding portion 164 is located at the front end portion of the first elastic portion 162a, and is sandwiched by the inner side wall of the storage chamber, and the above-described movement can be smoothed.

又,第1接觸器16於第1接觸器收納室15之大致中間部,被固定在設置於絕緣殼體11之第2主面13側之具有孔之接觸器保持部17。此處,將連結部161之突設部161a壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17而予以保持。且,第1接觸部163a及第2接觸部163b自第1主面12側之開口14突出,分別彈性接觸於並置之被連接構件之連接焊盤。另,第1接觸部163a自設置於第1主面12上之突出部18之開口14突出。連結部161之對接觸器保持部17之壓入方向成為上述接觸部163a、163b彈性接觸於被連接構件之連接焊盤時彈性位移之位移方向M。 Further, the first contactor 16 is fixed to a contact holder holding portion 17 having a hole provided on the second main surface 13 side of the insulating case 11 at a substantially intermediate portion of the first contactor housing chamber 15. Here, the protruding portion 161a of the coupling portion 161 is press-fitted into the contactor holding portion 17 and held. Further, the first contact portion 163a and the second contact portion 163b protrude from the opening 14 on the first main surface 12 side, and are elastically brought into contact with the connection pads of the connected members that are juxtaposed. Further, the first contact portion 163a protrudes from the opening 14 of the protruding portion 18 provided on the first main surface 12. The pressing direction of the contact portion holding portion 17 of the coupling portion 161 is the displacement direction M of the elastic displacement when the contact portions 163a and 163b elastically contact the connection pads of the connected member.

例如,上述連結部161於絕緣殼體11內,沿自其第1主面12向第2主面13之位移方向M之方向延伸,且壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17之孔內。另,例如亦可與圖2之情形相反,使連結部161朝向第2主面13分為2支,將形成為棒狀之接觸器保持部17壓入並嵌合於連結部161之分支內。 For example, the connecting portion 161 extends in the direction of the displacement direction M from the first main surface 12 toward the second main surface 13 in the insulating case 11, and is press-fitted into the hole of the contact holder holding portion 17. Further, for example, in contrast to the case of FIG. 2, the connecting portion 161 may be divided into two toward the second main surface 13, and the contactor holding portion 17 formed in a rod shape may be press-fitted and fitted into the branch of the connecting portion 161. .

總之,藉由相對於接觸器保持部17,連結部161之壓入方向成為上述位移方向M,各第1接觸器16由接觸器保持部17穩定保持。此係因為於接觸部163a、163b彈性接觸於被連接構件之連接焊盤之狀態下,接觸部163a、163b之彈性接觸力之反作用力作用於連結部161,以使連結部161牢固地保持於接觸器保持部17之方式發揮作用。反之,第1 接觸器16之接觸部163a、163b對被連接構件之連接焊盤賦予穩定之彈性接觸力,從而可實現牢固之連接。 In short, the pressing direction of the coupling portion 161 becomes the displacement direction M with respect to the contactor holding portion 17, and each of the first contactors 16 is stably held by the contactor holding portion 17. Since the contact portions 163a and 163b elastically contact the connection pads of the connected members, the reaction force of the elastic contact force of the contact portions 163a and 163b acts on the connecting portion 161 so that the connecting portion 161 is firmly held by the connecting portion 161. The mode of the contactor holding portion 17 functions. On the contrary, the first The contact portions 163a, 163b of the contactor 16 impart a stable elastic contact force to the connection pads of the connected members, so that a firm connection can be achieved.

如此,第1接觸器16以簡單之構造安裝於絕緣殼體11內,電連接器10可成為極簡單之構造。又,即使於例如安裝於如PCB般之被連接構件上之電子零件之微細化得到發展之情形下,仍可充分滿足電連接器中之接觸器之窄間距化或其多芯化。且,電連接器之小型化變得容易。 Thus, the first contactor 16 is mounted in the insulative housing 11 in a simple configuration, and the electrical connector 10 can be constructed to be extremely simple. Further, even in the case where, for example, the miniaturization of electronic components mounted on a connected member such as a PCB is developed, the narrow pitch of the contactors in the electrical connector or its multi-core can be sufficiently satisfied. Moreover, the miniaturization of the electrical connector becomes easy.

上述接觸部163a、163b之接觸力依存於彈性部162a、162b之彈力。此處,彈性部162a、162b如圖2所示般形成例如S形彎曲或反S形彎曲般之適當形狀,從而可調節其彈力。此處,第1彈性部162a及第2彈性部162b之形狀例如根據第1接觸部163a及第2接觸部163b之彈性位移量而彼此相異。 The contact force of the contact portions 163a and 163b depends on the elastic force of the elastic portions 162a and 162b. Here, the elastic portions 162a, 162b are formed into an appropriate shape such as an S-shaped curved shape or an inverted S-shaped curved shape as shown in Fig. 2, so that the elastic force can be adjusted. Here, the shape of the first elastic portion 162a and the second elastic portion 162b differs from each other by, for example, the elastic displacement amounts of the first contact portion 163a and the second contact portion 163b.

再者,彈性部162a、162b為確保各接觸部163a、163b與各連接焊盤之加壓接觸,亦可對接觸部163a、163b賦予相對於連接方向即上述位移方向M成為垂直方向之位移(摩擦接觸)。此舉即使於被連接構件之連接焊盤上存在塵埃或氧化覆膜等異物之情形下,亦有利於使第1接觸器16可確實地電性連接於連接焊盤。另,自2個連接焊盤因摩擦接觸而受到之接觸部163a、163b之摩擦力於第1接觸部163a與第2接觸部163b沿反方向進行作用而大致相抵。伴隨於此,連結部161因相對於其位移方向M成為垂直方向之上述摩擦力變小,而受到上述接觸部163a、163b之對連接焊盤之彈性接觸力之反作用力。 Further, the elastic portions 162a and 162b ensure press contact between the respective contact portions 163a and 163b and the respective connection pads, and the contact portions 163a and 163b may be displaced in the vertical direction with respect to the connection direction, that is, the displacement direction M ( Friction contact). This is advantageous in that the first contactor 16 can be reliably electrically connected to the connection pad even when foreign matter such as dust or an oxide film is present on the connection pads of the connected member. Further, the frictional force of the contact portions 163a and 163b which are received by the two connection pads due to the frictional contact substantially acts against the first contact portion 163a and the second contact portion 163b in the opposite direction. As a result, the frictional force of the connecting portion 161 in the vertical direction with respect to the displacement direction M is reduced, and the reaction force of the elastic contact force of the connection pads of the contact portions 163a and 163b is affected.

絕緣殼體11中,作為其材料可較佳使用9T尼龍、液晶聚合物(liquid crystal polymer,LCP)、聚醚碸(polyether sulfone,PES)、聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯(polybutylene terephthalate,PBT)、聚苯硫(polyphenylene sulfide,PPS)等塑料。另,亦可為呈現高剛性且易成形加工之絕緣聚合物。作為樹脂亦可為熱塑性樹脂或熱硬化性樹脂中之任一種。包含上述塑料之絕緣殼體11可一體形成為所需之形狀。 In the insulating case 11, as a material thereof, 9T nylon, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyether sulfone (PES), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) can be preferably used. ), plastics such as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Alternatively, it may be an insulating polymer which exhibits high rigidity and is easy to form. The resin may be either a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin. The insulating case 11 including the above plastic can be integrally formed into a desired shape.

第1接觸器16中,作為其材料較佳使用呈現適度彈性之金屬材料。作為如此之金屬材料,可列舉磷青銅、鈹青銅等銅合金。例如,沿板厚方向對包含上述金屬材料之金屬板進行鑽孔加工,將連結部161、彈性部162a、162b及接觸部163a、163b形成為一體構造。另,亦可以其他素材製造該等並形成為該等之組合構造。可至少於接觸部163a、163b上,形成例如包含金、鉑等之鍍敷層以使其表面上不形成氧化覆膜。 In the first contactor 16, a metal material exhibiting moderate elasticity is preferably used as the material thereof. As such a metal material, a copper alloy such as phosphor bronze or beryllium bronze can be cited. For example, the metal plate including the above-described metal material is drilled in the thickness direction, and the joint portion 161, the elastic portions 162a and 162b, and the contact portions 163a and 163b are integrally formed. Alternatively, other materials may be fabricated and formed into the combined structure. A plating layer containing, for example, gold, platinum, or the like may be formed on at least the contact portions 163a and 163b so that an oxide film is not formed on the surface.

接著,就本實施形態之電連接器10之製造方法之一例,對其主要部分進行說明。絕緣殼體11例如由如LCP般之熱塑性樹脂之射出成形予以製作。第1接觸器16藉由鑽孔加工磷青銅之板金予以製作。第1接觸器16中,至少亦對接觸部163a、163b施以鍍金。又,自形成於絕緣殼體11之第1主面12之開口14,將第1接觸器16之連結部161***至第1接觸器收納室15。該***中,係使連結部161位置對準於圖1、2所示之接觸器保持部17之位置標示用之定位凹部 20。 Next, an essential part of the manufacturing method of the electrical connector 10 of the present embodiment will be described. The insulating case 11 is produced, for example, by injection molding of a thermoplastic resin such as LCP. The first contactor 16 is fabricated by drilling a sheet of phosphor bronze. In the first contactor 16, at least the contact portions 163a and 163b are also plated with gold. Moreover, the connection portion 161 of the first contactor 16 is inserted into the first contactor housing chamber 15 from the opening 14 formed in the first main surface 12 of the insulating case 11. In the insertion, the connecting portion 161 is aligned with the positioning recess for the position indication of the contactor holding portion 17 shown in FIGS. 20.

又,按壓該連結部161而壓入至接觸器保持部17,將連結部161壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17,並進行固定而予以保持。如此,對各第1接觸器收納室15安裝各個第1接觸器16,組裝電連接器10。 Moreover, the connection portion 161 is pressed and pressed into the contactor holding portion 17, and the connection portion 161 is press-fitted into the contactor holding portion 17, and fixed and held. In this manner, each of the first contactors 16 is attached to each of the first contactor housing chambers 15, and the electrical connector 10 is assembled.

接著,參照圖3,就使用上述實施形態之電連接器10之2個被連接構件之水平方向上之電性連接之一例進行說明。如圖3所示,電連接器10之第1接觸部163a彈性接觸於例如包含PCB之第1構件21之第1連接焊盤22,第2接觸部163b同樣地彈性接觸於包含PCB之第2構件23之第2連接焊盤24。又,藉由利用包含第1接觸部163a及第2接觸部163b之第1接觸器16,第1連接焊盤22與第2連接焊盤24之間沿第1主面側之面方向電性連接。 Next, an example of electrical connection in the horizontal direction of the two connected members of the electrical connector 10 of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 . As shown in FIG. 3, the first contact portion 163a of the electrical connector 10 is elastically contacted with, for example, the first connection pad 22 including the first member 21 of the PCB, and the second contact portion 163b is elastically contacted to the second including the PCB. The second connection pad 24 of the member 23.

於圖3所示之情形下,雖作為被連接構件之第1構件21與第2構件23於第1主面12上彼此並置於水平方向,但該等之高度位置相異。因此,第1接觸部163a係根據上述高度位置之差,以來自第1主面12之突出量大於第2接觸部163b之突出量之方式而安裝。或,第2接觸部163b之容許彈性位移量大於第1接觸部163a之容許彈性位移量。另,於2個被連接構件以位於同一平面之方式並置於水平方向之情形下,電連接器10之第1接觸器16中,第1接觸部163a與第2接觸部163b以成為同等程度之突出量或容許彈性位移量之方式而安裝。 In the case shown in FIG. 3, the first member 21 and the second member 23 as the members to be connected are placed in the horizontal direction on the first main surface 12, but the height positions thereof are different. Therefore, the first contact portion 163a is attached such that the amount of protrusion from the first main surface 12 is larger than the amount of protrusion of the second contact portion 163b in accordance with the difference in the height position. Alternatively, the allowable elastic displacement amount of the second contact portion 163b is larger than the allowable elastic displacement amount of the first contact portion 163a. Further, in the case where the two connected members are placed in the horizontal direction so as to be in the same plane, the first contact portion 163a and the second contact portion 163b of the first contact 16 of the electrical connector 10 are equivalent to each other. The amount of protrusion or the amount of elastic displacement is allowed to be installed.

此處,上述電連接器10安裝於連接器固持器25上。又, 於第1構件21及第2構件23之特定位置上,雖未圖示,但例如形成有螺栓插通孔,該等構件分別藉由螺栓與螺帽緊固於連接器固持器25上。 Here, the above electrical connector 10 is mounted on the connector holder 25. also, At a specific position of the first member 21 and the second member 23, although not shown, for example, bolt insertion holes are formed, and the members are fastened to the connector holder 25 by bolts and nuts, respectively.

如此,電連接器10沿水平方向電性連接分別安裝於並置且安裝於連接器側之2個被連接構件上之連接焊盤之間。且,藉由自該等被連接構件上卸下上述連接器固持器25,可易於分離電連接器10之第1接觸器16與被連接構件之連接焊盤之連接。此處之連接焊盤係包含配線之引線端子或電路基板之電極端子者。 In this manner, the electrical connector 10 is electrically connected in the horizontal direction to be mounted between the connection pads that are juxtaposed and mounted on the two connected members on the connector side. Further, by detaching the connector holder 25 from the connected members, the connection between the first contact 16 of the electrical connector 10 and the connection pads of the connected member can be easily separated. Here, the connection pad is a lead terminal including a wiring or an electrode terminal of a circuit board.

本實施形態中,電連接器可利用其接觸器之彈性接觸,沿水平方向簡便地電性連接並置之被連接構件之連接焊盤之間。因此,無需如先前技術之水平連接用連接器般,將連接器之接觸器固著連接於連接焊盤。又,本實施形態之電連接器可反覆進行其接觸器與連接焊盤之連接及分離。 In the present embodiment, the electrical connector can be easily electrically connected to the connection pads of the connected members in the horizontal direction by the elastic contact of the contactors. Therefore, it is not necessary to fix the contactor of the connector to the connection pad as in the prior art horizontal connection connector. Further, the electrical connector of the present embodiment can repeatedly connect and disconnect the contactor and the connection pad.

再者,本實施形態之電連接器為簡單之構造,且可進行穩定之牢固連接。又,可易於進行連接器之小型化或多芯化,且可低成本化。 Furthermore, the electrical connector of the present embodiment has a simple structure and can be stably and firmly connected. Moreover, the connector can be easily miniaturized or multi-core, and the cost can be reduced.

(第2實施形態) (Second embodiment)

接著,參照圖4至圖8,就第2實施形態之電連接器進行說明。第2實施形態係1個絕緣殼體中具有接觸部之彈性位移量相異之2種接觸器之電連接器之情形。 Next, an electrical connector according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 8 . The second embodiment is a case in which one type of contactor has an electrical connector in which two types of contactors have different elastic displacement amounts in one insulating case.

如圖4所示,本實施形態之電連接器30於絕緣殼體31之相對向之第1主面12與第2主面13之中之第1主面12上形成有所需數量(本實施形態中為5個)之例如狹縫狀之開口14。 且,與第1實施形態所述同樣地,於絕緣殼體31上設置1個直線圖案形狀之第1接觸器收納室15,第1接觸器收納室15中收納有包含導體之第1接觸器16。 As shown in FIG. 4, the electrical connector 30 of the present embodiment is formed with a required number on the first main surface 12 of the first main surface 12 and the second main surface 13 opposite to the insulating case 31. In the embodiment, for example, five slits 14 are formed in a slit shape. In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the first contactor housing chamber 15 having one linear pattern is provided in the insulating case 31, and the first contactor including the conductor is housed in the first contactor housing chamber 15. 16.

進而,如圖4(b)所示,平行於第1接觸器收納室15而配置有4個第2接觸器收納室35。第2接觸器收納室35上形成有與第1接觸器收納室35之開口同寬之開口14、及與其相比開口寬度增大之加寬開口34。又,第2接觸器收納室35中分別收納有包含導體之第2接觸器36。此處,位於電連接器30之側面側之接觸器收納室35之加寬開口34以使開口之寬度於絕緣殼體31之中央側增大之方式形成。藉由朝向中央側增大開口之寬度,可於特定之絕緣殼體31之寬度內有效形成開口14及接觸器收納室35,從而可使電連接器30小型化。因此,本實施形態中,夾著第1接觸器16之2個第2接觸器36之第2接觸器收納室35之形狀係以第1接觸器16為中心而成線對稱。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4(b), four second contactor housing chambers 35 are disposed in parallel to the first contactor housing chamber 15. The second contactor housing chamber 35 is formed with an opening 14 having the same width as the opening of the first contactor housing chamber 35 and a widened opening 34 having an increased opening width. Further, a second contactor 36 including a conductor is housed in each of the second contactor housing chambers 35. Here, the widened opening 34 of the contactor housing chamber 35 on the side surface side of the electrical connector 30 is formed such that the width of the opening increases toward the center side of the insulating case 31. By increasing the width of the opening toward the center side, the opening 14 and the contactor housing chamber 35 can be effectively formed in the width of the specific insulating case 31, so that the electrical connector 30 can be miniaturized. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the shape of the second contactor housing chamber 35 sandwiching the two second contactors 36 of the first contactor 16 is linearly symmetrical about the first contactor 16.

此處,相對於第1接觸器收納室15及第1接觸器16與第1實施形態所述者相同,第2接觸器收納室35則除包括加寬開口34之外,亦包括接觸器卡合部37、接觸器定位部38。且,第2接觸器36與第1接觸器16同樣地,包括連結部361、及包含連結於該連結部361之兩側且可彈性變形之第1彈性部362a與第2彈性部362b之彈性部。連結部361在第1彈性部362a及第2彈性部362b之各自之基部連結。且,於第1彈性部362a之前端連結第1接觸部363a,於第2彈性部362b之前端連結第2接觸部363b。此處,可於第1接觸部 363a之肩部形成突起部364。 Here, the first contactor housing chamber 15 and the first contactor 16 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and the second contactor housing chamber 35 includes a contactor card in addition to the widened opening 34. The joint portion 37 and the contactor positioning portion 38. Similarly to the first contactor 16, the second contactor 36 includes the coupling portion 361 and the elasticity of the first elastic portion 362a and the second elastic portion 362b that are elastically deformable and coupled to both sides of the coupling portion 361. unit. The connecting portion 361 is coupled to each of the base portions of the first elastic portion 362a and the second elastic portion 362b. Further, the first contact portion 363a is connected to the front end of the first elastic portion 362a, and the second contact portion 363b is connected to the front end of the second elastic portion 362b. Here, at the first contact The shoulder of the 363a forms a protrusion 364.

與第1實施形態所述同樣地,第2接觸器36與第1接觸器16皆各自固定在設置於絕緣殼體31之第2主面13側之具有孔之接觸器保持部17。即,第2接觸器36中將連結部361壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17而予以保持。又,第1接觸部363a自第1主面12之加寬開口34突出,第2接觸部363b自第1主面12之開口14突出。該等接觸部363a、363b分別彈性接觸於並置之被連接構件之連接焊盤。又,連結部361之朝向接觸器保持部17之壓入方向成為接觸部363a、363b彈性接觸於被連接構件之連接焊盤時進行彈性位移之位移方向M。 In the same manner as in the first embodiment, each of the second contactor 36 and the first contactor 16 is fixed to the contactor holding portion 17 having a hole provided on the second main surface 13 side of the insulating case 31. In other words, in the second contactor 36, the coupling portion 361 is press-fitted into the contactor holding portion 17 and held. Further, the first contact portion 363a protrudes from the widened opening 34 of the first main surface 12, and the second contact portion 363b protrudes from the opening 14 of the first main surface 12. The contact portions 363a, 363b are in elastic contact with the connection pads of the connected members that are juxtaposed. Further, the pressing direction of the connecting portion 361 toward the contactor holding portion 17 is a displacement direction M in which the contact portions 363a and 363b are elastically displaced when they are in elastic contact with the connection pads of the connected member.

第2接觸器36之彈性部362a、362b與圖2(a)所示之第1接觸器16同樣地,例如形成如S形彎曲或反S形彎曲般適當之狀態,從而可調節其彈力。即使於該情形下,第1彈性部362a及第2彈性部363b之形狀亦形成為例如根據第1接觸部363a及第2接觸部363b之接觸力或彈性位移量而各不相同。且,彈性部362a、362b如第1接觸器16之情形下所述般,可對接觸部163a、163b賦予所需之摩擦接觸量。 Similarly to the first contactor 16 shown in Fig. 2(a), the elastic portions 362a and 362b of the second contactor 36 are formed in an appropriate state such as an S-shaped curved shape or an inverted S-shaped curved shape, and the elastic force can be adjusted. Even in this case, the shapes of the first elastic portion 362a and the second elastic portion 363b are different depending on, for example, the contact force or the elastic displacement amount of the first contact portion 363a and the second contact portion 363b. Further, the elastic portions 362a and 362b can impart the required frictional contact amount to the contact portions 163a and 163b as in the case of the first contactor 16.

另,如圖4(a)所示,於電連接器30未接觸於被連接構件之連接焊盤之狀態下,第1接觸器16之第1接觸部163a自第1主面12算起之突出量大於第2接觸器36之第1接觸部363a。另一方面,第1接觸器16之第2接觸部163b之上述突出量與第2接觸器36之第2接觸部363b大致相同。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the first contact portion 163a of the first contactor 16 is counted from the first main surface 12 in a state where the electrical connector 30 is not in contact with the connection pad of the member to be connected. The amount of protrusion is larger than the first contact portion 363a of the second contactor 36. On the other hand, the amount of protrusion of the second contact portion 163b of the first contactor 16 is substantially the same as that of the second contact portion 363b of the second contactor 36.

如圖4至圖7所示,上述之接觸器卡合部37以堵塞加寬開 口34之一部分之方式形成於第2接觸器收納室35之加寬開口34之側壁,並卡合於第2接觸器36之第1彈性部362a。且,上述接觸器定位部38以堵塞加寬開口34之一部分之方式形成於加寬開口34之另一側壁,並定位第2接觸器36之例如突起部364或第1接觸部363a。另,加寬開口34自接觸器保持部17至上述接觸器定位部38逐漸加寬。關於該等接觸器卡合部37及接觸器定位部38,其之詳細內容將於後述,可將第2接觸器36收納於第2接觸器收納室35內。 As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, the contactor engaging portion 37 described above is opened with a jam. One of the ports 34 is formed in the side wall of the widened opening 34 of the second contactor housing chamber 35, and is engaged with the first elastic portion 362a of the second contactor 36. Further, the contactor positioning portion 38 is formed on the other side wall of the widened opening 34 so as to block a portion of the widened opening 34, and positions the protrusion 364 or the first contact portion 363a of the second contactor 36, for example. Further, the widened opening 34 is gradually widened from the contactor holding portion 17 to the above-described contactor positioning portion 38. The details of the contactor engagement portion 37 and the contactor positioning portion 38 will be described later, and the second contactor 36 can be housed in the second contactor accommodation chamber 35.

接觸器卡合部37係以自第1主面12側向第2主面13側加壓之方式卡合第2接觸器36之第1彈性部362a,將第1接觸部363a上推至第2主面13側。藉此,於電連接器30例如未與圖3之作為被連接構件之第1構件21之連接焊盤22接觸之狀態下,第1接觸部363a之自第1主面12算起之突出量小於第1接觸器16之第1接觸部163a之上述突出量。然而,於該等接觸部以特定接觸力接觸於連接焊盤之狀態下,第1接觸部163a與第1接觸部363a之接觸力變得相同。 The contactor engagement portion 37 engages the first elastic portion 362a of the second contactor 36 so as to pressurize from the first main surface 12 side toward the second main surface 13 side, and pushes the first contact portion 363a to the first portion 2 main side 13 side. Therefore, in the state in which the electrical connector 30 is not in contact with the connection pad 22 of the first member 21 as the member to be connected in FIG. 3, the amount of protrusion of the first contact portion 363a from the first main surface 12 is increased. It is smaller than the above-described amount of protrusion of the first contact portion 163a of the first contactor 16. However, in a state where the contact portions are in contact with the connection pads with a specific contact force, the contact force between the first contact portion 163a and the first contact portion 363a becomes the same.

接觸器定位部38係以其側壁抵接並定位於第2接觸器36之前端部即例如第1接觸部363a或突起部364之方式而形成。利用該接觸器定位部38,對第2接觸器進行引導,以使該第2接觸器夾於該接觸器定位部38與突出部18壁之間而僅可朝板之面方向活動。藉此,第2接觸器36不朝板厚方向彎曲而翹曲,可防止經卡合之第1彈性部362a自接觸器卡合部37脫離。 The contactor positioning portion 38 is formed such that its side wall abuts and is positioned at a front end portion of the second contactor 36, that is, for example, the first contact portion 363a or the protruding portion 364. The contactor positioning portion 38 guides the second contactor such that the second contactor is interposed between the contactor positioning portion 38 and the wall of the protruding portion 18 and is movable only in the direction of the surface of the plate. Thereby, the second contactor 36 is not warped in the thickness direction and warped, and the engaged first elastic portion 362a can be prevented from being detached from the contactor engagement portion 37.

絕緣殼體31可如第1實施形態所述般,例如由塑料一體 成形為所需之形狀。另,該絕緣殼體31中,例如倒角加工開口14、加寬開口34、定位凹部20等之邊緣之角部而形成有倒角部33。 The insulating case 31 can be integrally formed of plastic as described in the first embodiment. Formed into the desired shape. Further, in the insulating case 31, for example, a chamfered portion 33 is formed at a corner portion of the edge of the chamfered processing opening 14, the widened opening 34, the positioning recessed portion 20, and the like.

再者,第1接觸器16及第2接觸器36由與第1實施形態所述者相同之包含具有彈性之金屬材料之金屬板形成。此處,鑽孔加工金屬板,使第1接觸器16之連結部161、彈性部162a、162b及接觸部163a、163b形成為一體構造。同樣地,第2接觸器36之連結部361、彈性部362a、362b及接觸部363a、363b形成為一體構造。又,第1接觸器16及第2接觸器36可以相同之材料及相同之形狀予以製造。且,可至少於接觸部163a、163b、363a、363b上,形成例如包含金、鉑等之鍍敷層,以使其表面上不形成氧化覆膜。 Further, the first contactor 16 and the second contactor 36 are formed of a metal plate including a metal material having elasticity as in the first embodiment. Here, the metal plate is drilled, and the connecting portion 161, the elastic portions 162a and 162b, and the contact portions 163a and 163b of the first contactor 16 are integrally formed. Similarly, the coupling portion 361, the elastic portions 362a and 362b, and the contact portions 363a and 363b of the second contactor 36 are formed in an integral structure. Further, the first contactor 16 and the second contactor 36 can be manufactured from the same material and the same shape. Further, a plating layer containing, for example, gold, platinum, or the like may be formed on at least the contact portions 163a, 163b, 363a, and 363b so that an oxide film is not formed on the surface.

接著,就本實施形態之電連接器10之製造方法之一例,說明其主要部分。如第1實施形態所述,絕緣殼體31例如由如LCP般之熱塑性樹脂之射出成形而以低成本製造。第1接觸器16及第2接觸器36係由磷青銅之板金之鑽孔加工而製造成同一形狀。 Next, an essential part of the manufacturing method of the electrical connector 10 of the present embodiment will be described. As described in the first embodiment, the insulating case 31 is produced by, for example, injection molding of a thermoplastic resin such as LCP at a low cost. The first contactor 16 and the second contactor 36 are formed into the same shape by drilling a plate of phosphor bronze.

又,如第1實施形態所述,自形成於絕緣殼體31之第1主面12上之開口14,將第1接觸器16之連結部161***至第1接觸器收納室15。又,按壓該連結部161並壓入至接觸器保持部17,將連結部161壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17,並進行固定而予以保持。 Further, as described in the first embodiment, the connection portion 161 of the first contactor 16 is inserted into the first contactor housing chamber 15 from the opening 14 formed in the first main surface 12 of the insulating case 31. Moreover, the connection portion 161 is pressed and pressed into the contactor holding portion 17, and the connection portion 161 is press-fitted into the contact holder holding portion 17, and fixed and held.

同樣地,自形成於絕緣殼體31之第1主面12之開口14及加寬開口34,將第2接觸器36之連結部361***至第2接觸 器收納室35。該***係使連結部361位置對準於圖4、5所示之定位凹部20。 Similarly, the connection portion 361 of the second contactor 36 is inserted into the second contact from the opening 14 formed in the first main surface 12 of the insulating case 31 and the widened opening 34. The storage compartment 35. This insertion system positions the coupling portion 361 in alignment with the positioning recess 20 shown in FIGS.

此處,雖未圖示,但利用***輔助用固持器,自第1主面12側向第2主面13側按壓第1彈性部362a,直至***輔助用夾具之前端抵接至按壓止動凹部39為止。第1彈性部362a因該按壓而稍微彈性變形,藉由圖6及圖7所示之接觸器卡合部37之卡合部傾斜面37a而引導至第2接觸器收納室35內。同時,成為第1彈性部362a之前端之第1接觸部363a及突起部364藉由接觸器定位部38之接觸器引導面38a之傾斜面而引導至第2接觸器收納室35內。如此,第2接觸器36順滑地***至接觸器收納室35內。此處,如圖6及圖7所示,卡合部傾斜面37a及接觸器引導面38a係以使加寬開口34自第1主面12向第2主面13變窄之方式而形成之傾斜面。另,圖中,在引導面上畫上斜線以易於分辨傾斜方向。 Here, although not shown, the first elastic portion 362a is pressed from the first main surface 12 side toward the second main surface 13 side by the insertion assist holder until the front end of the insertion assisting jig abuts against the pressing stopper. The recess 39 is up. The first elastic portion 362a is slightly elastically deformed by the pressing, and is guided into the second contactor housing chamber 35 by the engaging portion inclined surface 37a of the contactor engagement portion 37 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 . At the same time, the first contact portion 363a and the projection portion 364 which are the front ends of the first elastic portion 362a are guided into the second contactor housing chamber 35 by the inclined surface of the contactor guiding surface 38a of the contactor positioning portion 38. In this manner, the second contactor 36 is smoothly inserted into the contactor housing chamber 35. Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the engaging portion inclined surface 37 a and the contactor guiding surface 38 a are formed such that the widened opening 34 is narrowed from the first main surface 12 to the second main surface 13 . Inclined surface. In addition, in the figure, a diagonal line is drawn on the guiding surface to easily distinguish the oblique direction.

又,與第1接觸器16之情形同樣地,按壓第2接觸器36之連結部361而壓入至接觸器保持部17,將連結部361壓入卡合於接觸器保持部17,並進行固定而予以保持。如上,於第1接觸器收納室15中安裝第1接觸器16,於各第2接觸器收納室35中安裝第2接觸器36,以組裝電連接器10。另,若如上述般於開口14及加寬開口34上形成有倒角部33,則可順利進行將各連接器安裝於接觸器收納室內之作業。其原因在於可抑制各連接器掛上接觸器之開口14及加寬開口34之緣邊。該效果於接觸器寬度愈接近開口寬度時愈為顯著。 In the same manner as in the case of the first contactor 16, the connecting portion 361 of the second contactor 36 is pressed and pressed into the contactor holding portion 17, and the connecting portion 361 is press-fitted into the contactor holding portion 17, and is carried out. Fixed and kept. As described above, the first contactor 16 is attached to the first contactor housing chamber 15, and the second contactor 36 is attached to each of the second contactor housing chambers 35 to assemble the electrical connector 10. Further, if the chamfered portion 33 is formed in the opening 14 and the widened opening 34 as described above, the operation of attaching each connector to the contactor housing chamber can be smoothly performed. The reason for this is that it is possible to suppress the opening of the opening 14 of the contactor and the widening of the opening 34 of each connector. This effect is more pronounced as the contactor width approaches the opening width.

接著,參照圖8,就使用本實施形態之電連接器30之2個被連接構件之水平方向上之電性連接之一例進行說明。該電性連接中,被連接構件之第1構件例如為如印刷機裝置之墨盒般自如地反覆進行連接與分離者。又,第2構件例如為印刷機裝置之托架上之墨盒收納部,且通常為連接於電連接器30之接觸器之狀態。 Next, an example of electrical connection in the horizontal direction of the two connected members of the electrical connector 30 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the electrical connection, the first member of the connected member is connected and disconnected repeatedly, for example, like an ink cartridge of a printing press device. Further, the second member is, for example, an ink cartridge accommodating portion on a holder of the printing press device, and is usually in a state of being connected to a contactor of the electrical connector 30.

如圖8所示,例如於印刷機裝置之墨盒收納部之框體構件41上形成複數個連接器收納部42,於各連接器收納部42上固定安裝有本實施形態之電連接器30。此處,例如形成有與墨水顏色之數量對應之複數個連接器收納部42。 As shown in FIG. 8, for example, a plurality of connector accommodating portions 42 are formed in the frame member 41 of the ink cartridge accommodating portion of the printing press device, and the electrical connector 30 of the present embodiment is fixedly attached to each of the connector accommodating portions 42. Here, for example, a plurality of connector housing portions 42 corresponding to the number of ink colors are formed.

又,雖未圖示,但利用設置於框體構件41上之螺栓等之緊固部43,固定安裝第2構件,使其第2連接焊盤彈性接觸於圖8所示之電連接器30之第2接觸部163b、363b。該等第2接觸部163b、363b除裝置之保養作業外,一直連接於第2構件之第2連接焊盤。 Further, although not shown, the second member is fixedly attached by the fastening portion 43 such as a bolt provided on the frame member 41, and the second connection pad is elastically contacted to the electrical connector 30 shown in FIG. The second contact portions 163b and 363b. The second contact portions 163b and 363b are always connected to the second connection pads of the second member except for the maintenance work of the device.

又,例如將如墨盒般之第1構件安裝於墨盒收納部之情形下,於該框體構件41中,第1構件之第1連接焊盤彈性接觸於圖8所示之電連接器30之第1接觸部163a、363a。另,例如第1構件為墨盒之情形下,利用該電連接器30,於水平方向電性連接第1構件與第2構件之連接焊盤,例如經由第2構件,將墨水剩餘量資訊或匣盒之辨別資訊發送給印刷機裝置之主體側。 Further, for example, when the first member such as an ink cartridge is attached to the ink cartridge accommodating portion, the first connecting pad of the first member elastically contacts the electrical connector 30 shown in FIG. 8 in the frame member 41. First contact portions 163a and 363a. Further, for example, in the case where the first member is an ink cartridge, the connection pad of the first member and the second member is electrically connected in the horizontal direction by the electrical connector 30, and the remaining amount of ink information or information is transmitted, for example, via the second member. The identification information of the cartridge is sent to the main body side of the printing press device.

如上所述,電連接器30中,第1接觸部163a相較於第2接觸部363a,其絕緣殼體31之自第1主面12算起之突出量較 大。因此,第1構件之安裝中,首先將第1接觸部163連接於與其對應之第1連接焊盤,稍後將第1接觸部363a連接於與其對應之第1連接焊盤。反之,第1構件之拆卸中,首先自與其對應之第1連接焊盤分離第1接觸部363a,稍後自與其對應之第1連接焊盤分離第1接觸部163a。 As described above, in the electrical connector 30, the first contact portion 163a has a larger amount of protrusion from the first main surface 12 of the insulating case 31 than the second contact portion 363a. Big. Therefore, in the mounting of the first member, first, the first contact portion 163 is connected to the first connection pad corresponding thereto, and the first contact portion 363a is later connected to the first connection pad corresponding thereto. On the other hand, in the detachment of the first member, first, the first contact portion 363a is separated from the first connection pad corresponding thereto, and the first contact portion 163a is separated from the first connection pad corresponding thereto.

此處,若將第2接觸部163b連接於第2構件之固定在接地電位之第2連接焊盤,則於第1構件之上述裝卸中,例如藉由使用者抓住第1構件,而易於由接地電位除去第1構件所帶之靜電。因此,於第1構件與第2構件之水平方向即相同面方向之電性連接中,可自由地反覆進行其連接與分離之情形下,可由使用者除去全部所帶之靜電之影響。 When the second contact portion 163b is connected to the second connection pad of the second member that is fixed to the ground potential, the first member is easily grasped by the user, for example, by the user. The static electricity carried by the first member is removed by the ground potential. Therefore, in the electrical connection between the first member and the second member in the horizontal direction, that is, in the same plane direction, the connection and separation can be freely repeated, and the influence of all the static electricity can be removed by the user.

第2實施形態中,獲得與第1實施形態中所述者相同之效果。且,本實施形態中,即使電連接器中混合存在彈性位移量相異之2種接觸器,仍可利用簡單方法,於被連接構件間之電性連接中,使對該等之連接焊盤之彈性接觸力一致相同。如此,於本實施形態之電連接器中,可保持簡單之構造而實現穩定之連接。 In the second embodiment, the same effects as those described in the first embodiment are obtained. Further, in the present embodiment, even if two kinds of contactors having different elastic displacement amounts are mixed in the electrical connector, the connection pads can be made in the electrical connection between the connected members by a simple method. The elastic contact force is the same. As described above, in the electrical connector of the present embodiment, a stable connection can be realized while maintaining a simple structure.

以上,雖已就本發明之較佳之實施形態予以說明,但上述實施形態並非係限定本發明者。對本領域技術人員而言,於具體實施形態中,在不脫離本發明之技術思想及技術範圍之前提下,可進行各種變形及變更。 Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above embodiments are not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.

例如,本發明之電連接器之絕緣殼體中,如突出部18、接觸器卡合部37、接觸器定位部38般之一部分之構成部分亦可分別成形並固定安裝於絕緣殼體主體上。此處,接觸 器卡合部37或接觸器定位部38於將第2接觸器36安裝於第2接觸器收納室35內後,例如亦可藉由接著等而使其接合於特定位置。 For example, in the insulating case of the electrical connector of the present invention, the components such as the protruding portion 18, the contactor engaging portion 37, and the contactor positioning portion 38 may be separately formed and fixedly mounted on the insulating housing main body. . Here, contact After the second contactor 36 is attached to the second contactor housing chamber 35, the second engagement device 37 or the contactor positioning portion 38 can be joined to a specific position by, for example, being attached.

再者,接觸器卡合部37之接觸器之接觸部之彈性位移量或其接觸部之接觸力之調節可針對電連接器內之所需接觸器適當進行。 Furthermore, the amount of elastic displacement of the contact portion of the contactor of the contactor engaging portion 37 or the contact force of the contact portion thereof can be appropriately adjusted for the desired contactor in the electrical connector.

再者,雖已以直線之線狀圖案說明接觸器收納室及接觸器,但亦可形成為曲線狀之線狀圖案,例如於接觸器之連結部沿第1主面之面方向以特定角度彎曲之圖案。該例適用於第1構件與第2構件之連接焊盤之排列間距相異之情形等。 Further, although the contactor housing chamber and the contactor have been described in a straight line pattern, they may be formed in a curved linear pattern, for example, at a specific angle in the direction of the first main surface of the joint portion of the contactor. Curved pattern. This example is applicable to the case where the arrangement pitch of the connection pads of the first member and the second member is different.
