AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing electrical connector assemblies have insufficient stability at the fixed end during insertion and removal, which makes the circuit module structure prone to deformation or the solder joints to detach. This is especially true for larger circuit boards or circuit boards with non-fixed size and shape, where the housing design is difficult to adapt, affecting the manufacturing process and cost.

Method used

A protective sleeve is used to fit the electrical connector and engage with the circuit board. This sleeve includes a deformable metal plate. Through the interlocking and embedding of component one and component three into the circuit board, a stable structural connection is formed, covering the solder joint between the electrical connector and the circuit board and enhancing the structural strength.

Benefits of technology

It improves the structural connection strength and stability of electrical connector assemblies, protects the solder joints between the circuit board and the electrical connector, enhances durability, and adapts to circuit boards of different sizes and shapes.

Abstract

The present application is an electrical connector assembly for electronic devices. The electrical connector assembly includes a circuit board, an electrical connector, and a protector. The electrical connector is soldered to a side edge of the circuit board. The protector is fitted over the electrical connector at the side edge and engages the circuit board to cover the soldered joint of the electrical connector and the circuit board. The side edge has a dimension greater than a dimension of the protector.
