Connector and light source device

Abstract

The invention relates to a connector comprising an insulating seat, two electrode posts and two L-shaped electrode slices, wherein the insulating seat is provided with a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, a lower surface for connecting the first side surface with the second side surface and two through holes, and the two through holes penetrate through the insulating seat and extend to the second side surface from the first side surface; the two electrode posts respectively penetrate through the two through holes, each electrode post is provided with a first end and a second end which are opposite to each other, and the first end protrudes the first side surface; each L-shaped electrode slice comprises a bottom arranged on the lower surface and a connecting part connected to the bottom, and the connecting parts are arranged on the second side surface and are respectively connected to the second ends of the electrode posts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector, and in particular to a connector used for electrical connection. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of semiconductor technology, the power that can be achieved by light-emitting diodes (light-emitting diodes, LEDs) is getting higher and higher, and the intensity of the emitted light is getting higher and higher. In addition, light-emitting diodes also have the advantages of power saving, long service life, environmental protection, fast start-up, and small size. Therefore, light-emitting diodes are also widely used in lighting equipment, traffic signs, monitors, optical mice and other products, and there is a tendency to gradually replace traditional fluorescent tubes. [0003] In order to fix the LED lamp tube on the lamp holder of the traditional fluorescent lamp tube, a prior art is to fix the LED lamp tube on the lamp holder by using a fixing piece. However, the fixing member itself ha...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the fixture itself does not have the effect of conducting electricity, but only has the effect of fixing the lamp tube, so additional wires are needed to electrically connect the circuit board in the lamp tube and the lamp holder

The additional wires must be manually soldered to connect the circuit board and the lamp holder in the lamp tube, which will make the installation and disassembly of the LED lamp tube difficult, resulting in difficult and time-consuming replacement of the lamp tube

[0004] If in order to solve the problem of difficult installation and disassembly of the above-mentioned light-emitting diode lamp tube, the two electrode columns suitable for being inserted into the socket of the lamp socket of the traditional fluorescent lamp are directly welded on the circuit board by welding, and there will be structural strength. Insufficient and the parallelism of the two electrode columns is not high enough

Specifically, when the electrode column of the LED tube is inserted into the socket of the lamp socket in a manner similar to that of installing a traditional fluorescent tube, and the LED tube is rotated to the position, the torque of the rotating tube will easily make the electrode column and the circuit The solder joints between the boards can't bear it, causing the electrode post to fall off the circuit board

In addition, it is quite difficult to maintain the parallelism of the two electrode columns during the welding process, so this design method is likely to lead to low yield
