electrical connector

Abstract

An electric connector includes a metal shell, an insulating body and a plurality of terminals. The metal shell has a top wall, two side walls, a bottom wall, a plurality of tear-type fixed feet and a plurality of extended fixed feet. The top wall, two side walls and the bottom wall together form an accommodation space, a first opening and a second opening. Opening, each tear-type fixing foot forms a broken groove on the side wall, and each extension-type fixing foot extends outwards from the side edge of the side wall at the second opening relative to the side wall, and the width of the tear-type fixing foot is smaller than the extension fixed foot width. In this creation, the traditional blanking-type fixing feet, which are located close to the first opening of the front end of the electrical connector in the metal shell, are changed to tear-type fixing feet, and the tear-off fixing feet are formed on the side wall of the metal shell. The slot width is extremely small, which meets the requirements of safety regulations, and there is no need to stick adhesive tape on the broken slot, which can save costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular to an electrical connector with tear-off fixing feet. Background technique [0002] Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of a traditional electrical connector. See Figure 5 , the traditional electrical connector includes a metal shell 1', an insulating body 2' and a plurality of terminals 3'. The metal shell 1' has an accommodating space 10', a plurality of blanking-type fixing feet 15' and a plurality of extending-type fixing feet 16'. The insulating body 2' is disposed in the accommodating space 10' of the metal shell 1'. Each of the terminals 3' is disposed on the insulating body 2' and one end protrudes from the rear end of the electrical connector out of the accommodating space 10'. The blanking-type fixing feet 15' and the extending-type fixing feet 16' can be plugged into insertion holes provided on a circuit board (not shown) and the electrical connector is fixed on t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the blanking-type fixing feet 15' will form a large broken groove 101' on the side wall of the metal shell 1', and the cutting-type fixing feet 15' and the resulting broken grooves 101' are located close to the front end of the electrical connector At the opening, after the electrical connector is set on the circuit board and assembled on the electronic product, the broken groove 101' can be seen from the opening of the electrical connector, so sharp foreign objects may penetrate into the electronic product from the opening of the electrical connector through the broken groove 101' It may cause electric shock to the user, damage to the internal components of the electronic product or short circuit in the circuit, so it does not meet the safety requirements

In order to meet the requirements of safety regulations, traditional electrical connectors also need an additional process of affixing Mylar tape 4' to the broken groove 101', and the assembly cost is high.
