Type-C連接器之組裝結構Type-C connector assembly structure

本創作係有關於電連接器，尤指一種Type-C連接器之組裝結構。This creation is about an electrical connector, especially an assembly structure of a Type-C connector.

近年來電連接器市場上開發出新一代的USB 3.1規格，其中更以能夠支援10Gbps的傳輸速率的USB 3.1 Type-C規格最受到使用者的矚目。新規範的USB Type-C，其外觀上最大特點在於其上下端完全一致而在使用上並無方向性，提供使用者在傳輸大容量之檔案時能獲得更快速的傳輸速率，進而有效縮短傳輸時間。In recent years, a new generation of USB 3.1 specifications has been developed in the electrical connector market, and among them, the USB 3.1 Type-C specification capable of supporting a transmission rate of 10 Gbps is most attracting attention of users. The new specification of USB Type-C, its biggest feature is that its upper and lower ends are completely consistent and there is no directionality in use, which provides users with faster transmission rate when transmitting large-capacity files, thus effectively shortening the transmission. time.

再者，現有連接器的導接端子及絕緣座之間可採用射出成型的方式，或者是採用插接組裝的方式來結合。然而，採用射出成型的結合方式時，由於射出成型所需要的模具費用高，故不符成本所需。又，採用插接組裝方式時，則由於Type-C連接器的導接端子上下排同時存在，且端子之間的間隙較小，故不易組裝，且在組裝後容易發生較大誤差，進而影響成品良率。Furthermore, the connection terminal and the insulating seat of the conventional connector may be combined by injection molding or by plug-and-assembly. However, when the combination of injection molding is adopted, since the cost of the mold required for injection molding is high, it is not required for cost. Moreover, when the plug-in assembly method is adopted, since the upper and lower rows of the lead terminals of the Type-C connector are simultaneously present and the gap between the terminals is small, it is difficult to assemble, and a large error is likely to occur after assembly, thereby affecting Finished product yield.

有鑑於此，本創作人遂針對上述現有技術，特潛心研究並配合學理的運用，盡力解決上述之問題點，即成為本創作人改良之目標。In view of this, the creator has made great efforts to solve the above problems by focusing on the above-mentioned prior art, and has devoted himself to the application of the theory, that is, the goal of the creator's improvement.

本創作之一目的，在於提供一種Type-C連接器之組裝結構，以降低Type-C連接器成本，並提高產品的良率。One of the aims of this creation is to provide an assembly structure of Type-C connectors to reduce the cost of Type-C connectors and improve the yield of products.

為了達成上述之目的，本創作係為一種Type-C連接器之組裝結構，包括絕緣座體、複數導接端子及前接片；絕緣座體包含基座及自基座的前側向外延伸的舌板，舌板在相對二側面分別設有複數端子槽；複數導接端子分別自基座的後側對應***絕緣座體，並向前延伸至端子槽而外露在舌板上；前接片以射出成型的方式結合在舌板的外側周緣，導接端子透過前接片而定位在端子槽中。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an assembly structure of a Type-C connector, including an insulating base, a plurality of lead terminals and a front tab; the insulating base includes a base and an outer side extending from the front side of the base The tongue plate and the tongue plate are respectively provided with a plurality of terminal slots on opposite sides; the plurality of guiding terminals are respectively inserted into the insulating seat body from the rear side of the base, and extend forward to the terminal slot to be exposed on the tongue plate; the front connecting piece The outer peripheral edge of the tongue plate is coupled to the outer side of the tongue plate by injection molding, and the lead terminal is positioned in the terminal groove through the front tab.

相較於習知技術，本創作之Type-C連接器之組裝結構係將導接端子***絕緣座體，並向前延伸而外露在舌板上；另外，再將前接片以射出成型的方式結合在舌板的外側周緣，使前接片包覆外露在舌板外的導接端子，藉以將導接端子的ㄧ端結合在絕緣座體；由於導接端子是以插接方式穿置在絕緣基座，僅設置前接片的模具，故能大為降低整體的模具成本；此外， Type-C連接器透過插接與射出成型的結合而提高導接端子的準確定位，故能提高良率，增加本創作之實用性。Compared with the prior art, the assembled structure of the Type-C connector of the present invention inserts the lead terminal into the insulating seat body and extends forward to expose the tongue plate; in addition, the front tab is formed by injection molding. The method is combined with the outer periphery of the tongue plate, so that the front tab is covered with the guiding terminal exposed outside the tongue plate, so that the end of the guiding terminal is coupled to the insulating seat; since the guiding terminal is inserted through the plugging manner In the insulating base, only the mold of the front tab is provided, so that the overall mold cost can be greatly reduced; in addition, the Type-C connector improves the accurate positioning of the lead terminals by the combination of plugging and injection molding, thereby improving Yield, increasing the practicality of this creation.
