Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a connector, in particular to a flat wire direct coupling connector which can be fixed on a fixing device and guide a flat wire to be directly coupled to a circuit board. [Background technology]

[0002] In some applications, the flat wire will be directly electrically connected to the circuit board, and the traditional method is to directly solder the flat wire to the circuit board through surface mounting technology.

[0003] However, although surface mount technology can electrically connect flat wires to circuit boards, if modifications are required, the flat wires must be detached from the circuit boards by desoldering, which makes maintenance and error correction inconvenient and complicated.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the present invention proposes a flat wire direct coupling connector, which is used to solve the defects caused by the traditional connector. [Summary of the invention]

[0005] The first object of the present invention is to provide a flat wire direct coupling connector, which can be directly snapped onto a fixing device, so that the flat wire can be connected to a circuit board through the connector.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to separate the flat wire direct coupling connector into a first connection part and a second connection part, and to tightly combine the first connection part and the second connection part by engaging the opening between the first connection part and the second connection part with the hook.

[0007] A third objective of the present invention is to provide alignment units on the first connection portion and the second connection portion, respectively, based on the flat wire direct coupling connector, so as to facilitate smooth connection.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned and other purposes, the present invention provides a flat wire direct coupling connector, which is clamped with a fixing device and applied to a flat wire. The flat wire direct coupling connector includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion forms a first opening, a second opening and a third opening. The first connecting portion has a first hook and a first alignment unit. The second connecting portion forms a second alignment unit. The second connecting portion has a diverging piece, a second hook, a third hook and an insert. The diverging piece forms a first insertion port and a second insertion port in the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion can be snapped onto the fixing device by the first hook, and after the first alignment unit and the second alignment unit are aligned and moved, the diverging piece passes through the third opening, the second hook is inserted into the first opening and the third hook is inserted into the second opening, so that the flat wire can be inserted from at least one of the first insertion port and the second insertion port to the side edge of the insert.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the flat wire direct coupling connector provided by the present invention can be directly set in the fixing device, so that the flat wire inside the fixing device can pass through the connector to be connected to the external circuit board.

[0010] The specific technology adopted by the present invention will be further described through the following embodiments and attached drawings.
