Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a connector with a substrate. Background Technology

[0002] A compression-type connector is known in the past, which is pressed against a substrate or other connecting object for connection. For example, such a connector structure is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. Regarding the prior art compression-type connector disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, such as... Figure 26 As shown, the connector (1) is configured to include a contact (20) having a spring portion (23). Multiple contacts (20) are arranged in a neat configuration on the connector (1).

[0003] The contact (20) has a substrate connection portion (22) soldered to a first circuit board (30) and a contact portion (24) in contact with a second circuit board (40). A spring portion (23) with spring-like properties is provided between the substrate connection portion (22) and the contact portion (24). By pressing the second circuit board (40) from above the contact (20), which is mounted on the top of the first circuit board (30) by solder connection, the spring portion (23) of the contact (20) exerts its spring-like properties, generating contact pressure between the second circuit board (40) and the contact (20). Furthermore, parentheses are added to the symbols used in the description of prior art documents to distinguish them from embodiments of the present invention.

[0004] Furthermore, existing compression connectors utilize threaded fastening for mounting (fixing) with the substrate. Existing technical documents Patent documents

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-12123 Summary of the Invention (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] However, when using threaded fastening to secure a compression connector to a substrate, the common method is to install a nut on the substrate surface opposite the connector mounting surface and tighten a screw from the connector mounting surface. With this prior art, the operator needs to press the connector and nut by hand when tightening the screw, which presents a technical problem of difficulty in connector installation (fixation). In other words, in the prior art structure for fixing a compression connector to a substrate using threaded fastening, in addition to the screw, another component, namely the nut, is required, thus leading to problems such as the possibility of nut loss and wasted operation time.

[0007] That is, for existing compression connectors, there is a requirement to achieve a structure that improves the operability of installation and ensures reliable installation when mounting (fixing) with the substrate.

[0008] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to realize a structure in which the installation (fixing) operation of the connector is simple when the compression connector and the substrate are fixed, and the compression connector can be fixed to the substrate with fewer movements. (II) Technical Solution

[0009] Regarding the connector with a substrate of the present invention, its installation includes a compression type connector and a substrate that are pressed together to connect objects, characterized in that it has a compression connector having: a contact that contacts the substrate, a housing to which the contact is fixed, and a cover covering the upper surface of the housing, the cover having a vertical surface that is bent perpendicularly from the top of the cover arranged parallel to the substrate toward the substrate, and at least one fixing part formed on the substrate side of the vertical surface, the fixing part passing through a hole formed in the substrate and serving as an anti-disengagement component of the compression connector relative to the substrate.

[0010] That is, the present invention has a mechanism for mounting a compression-type connector and a substrate, and a simple and reliable fixing state is obtained by inserting the fixing part into a hole formed on the substrate.

[0011] Alternatively, in the connector with a substrate of the present invention, the fixing part may be formed having: a root portion which is formed to be connected to the substrate side of the vertical plane and is flat; an opening portion which is connected to the substrate side of the root portion and has an opening hole; and a front end portion which is formed to be connected to the substrate side of the opening portion and is flat.

[0012] Furthermore, in the connector with a substrate of the present invention, the opening may be formed to have a wider width than the root and the front end, thereby the fixing part is formed as a press-fit pin.

[0013] That is, when the fixing part is formed as a press-fit pin, the fixing part is pressed in the hole of the substrate, and the friction between the fixing part and the hole of the substrate can be used to hold the compression connector and prevent the compression connector from coming out of the substrate in the vertical direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the connector with a substrate according to the present invention may have an anti-detachment pin that is inserted into the opening hole of the opening portion, the anti-detachment pin having: a front end portion that is bent when inserted into the opening hole; an insertion portion that becomes an anti-detachment member of the compression connector relative to the substrate by being inserted into the opening hole; and a flange portion having a width dimension larger than the aperture of the opening hole.

[0015] That is, after the anti-loosening pin is inserted into the opening of the fixed part, it becomes an anti-loosening component by bending its front end, so it will not fall off or be lost like screws and nuts in the prior art. In addition, since the fixing mechanism uses the pin shape of the anti-loosening pin, the installation-related operation time is reduced, and there is no need for screw torque control as in the prior art.

[0016] Furthermore, in the connector with a substrate of the present invention, the compression connector may include a bottom shell that covers the lower surface of the housing. (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] According to the present invention, a structure can be achieved in which the installation (fixing) operation of the connector is simple when fixing the compression connector and the substrate, and the compression connector can be fixed to the substrate with fewer movements. Therefore, according to the present invention, the operability of installing (fixing) the compression connector relative to the substrate can be improved and reliable installation can be achieved.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction are defined in the drawings. In this specification, the first direction is the front-to-back direction. In the drawings, the front-to-back direction is represented as the X direction. In particular, the front is designated as the +X direction, and the rear as the -X direction. Additionally, in this specification, the second direction is the left-to-right direction. In the drawings, the left-to-right direction is represented as the Y direction. In particular, the right is designated as the +Y direction, and the left as the -Y direction. Furthermore, in this specification, the third direction is the up-and-down direction. In the drawings, the up-and-down direction is represented as the Z direction. In particular, the top is designated as the +Z direction, and the bottom as the -Z direction. It should be noted that the first direction (X direction), the second direction (Y direction), and the third direction (Z direction) defined in this specification do not limit the direction in which the connector with a substrate in each embodiment is used. The connector with a substrate in each embodiment can be used in any direction.

[0020] Furthermore, the following embodiments do not limit the invention of each claim. Also, the combination of features described in each embodiment is not necessarily required for the technical solution of the invention.

[0021] (First Implementation) Reference Figures 1 to 13 The structure of the connector 10 with a substrate according to the first embodiment will be described. Figures 1-3 As shown, the connector 10 with a substrate in the first embodiment includes: a substrate 11 and a compression connector 31 mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 11.

[0022] The substrate 11 includes printed circuits (not shown) and is electrically connected to a compression connector 31 mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 11, thereby enabling it to transmit electrical signals, power, etc.

[0023] In addition, especially as Figure 3As shown, a plurality of holes 12 are formed on the substrate 11. Regarding the plurality of holes 12 (eight in the first embodiment), the compression connector 31 is fixed relative to the substrate 11 by inserting a plurality of press-fit pins 37 of the compression connector 31 described later. Furthermore, the plurality of press-fit pins 37 are formed as fixing portions of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 7-11 As shown, the compression connector 31 has: a contact 32 that contacts the substrate 11; a housing 33 on which the contact 32 is fixed; a cover 34 that covers the upper surface of the housing 33; and a bottom cover 35 that covers the lower surface of the housing 33.

[0025] In particular, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, multiple contacts 32 are arranged in a horizontal row in the left-right direction.

[0026] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, the multiple contacts 32 are fixed to the housing 33, and the front end 32a of the contacts 32 is shaped to have spring elasticity through bending. That is, the front end 32a of the contacts 32 is configured to protrude downward from the bottom surface of the bottom housing 35 when the compression connector 31 is not in contact with the substrate 11. Figure 11 (As shown in the diagram). Therefore, when the bottom surface of the base shell 35 constituting the compression connector 31 is pressed against the upper surface of the substrate 11 in the -Z direction, the front ends 32a of the plurality of contacts 32 protruding downward from the bottom surface of the base shell 35 are pressed into the bottom surface of the base shell 35 while a force based on spring elasticity is applied against the upper surface of the substrate 11. That is, the front ends 32a of the plurality of contacts 32 are subjected to a force in the +Z direction. Therefore, when the compression connector 31 is mounted against the substrate 11, since the plurality of contacts 32 are pressed against the upper surface of the substrate 11 by a force based on spring elasticity, for example, a stable and reliable connection can be maintained between the printed circuit (not shown) disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 11 and the plurality of contacts 32.

[0027] On the other hand, the rear end 32b of the contact 32 becomes a straight, extending line shape. Furthermore, as... Figure 11 As shown, a cable 36 is connected to the rear end 32b of the contact 32 using solder or the like. Therefore, electrical signals, power supplies, etc. from the outside are transmitted to the substrate 11 via the cable 36 and the contact 32.

[0028] Furthermore, regarding the components constituting the compression connector 31 in the first embodiment, the plurality of contacts 32 are made of a conductive metal material, and the housing 33 that fixes the plurality of contacts 32 is made of a non-conductive resin material or the like. Additionally, the cover 34 covering the upper surface of the housing 33 and the bottom shell 35 covering the lower surface of the housing 33 are combined vertically, with the housing 33 contained within each other, thereby forming the outline shape of the compression connector 31. The cover 34 and bottom shell 35 are configured to surround the periphery of the housing 33 in which the plurality of contacts 32 are embedded, thereby protecting the housing 33, which contains the plurality of contacts 32 that receive power from the cable 36. This protection includes not only physical protection against the external environment but also electromagnetic protection such as electromagnetic shielding.

[0029] like Figure 12 As shown, the cover 34 constituting the compression connector 31 in the first embodiment is configured to have: a top surface 34a, which is arranged parallel to the substrate 11; and a vertical surface 34b, which is bent vertically from the top surface 34a of the cover 34 towards the substrate 11. In addition, on the substrate 11 side of the vertical surface 34b, i.e., the side below the vertical surface 34b, eight press-fit pins 37 are provided as fixing parts. These press-fit pins 37 pass through holes 12 formed in the substrate 11 and serve as anti-detachment members for the compression connector 31 relative to the substrate 11.

[0030] On the cover 34 of the first embodiment, six of the eight press-fit pins 37 are arranged at approximately equal intervals on the front side of the cover 34, one is arranged on the right side near the rear side of the cover 34, and one is arranged on the left side near the rear side of the cover 34.

[0031] Regarding the specific shape of the press-fit pin 37 in the first embodiment, as follows: Figure 13As shown, the device is formed with: a root portion 37a, which is formed on the substrate 11 side connected to the vertical surface 34b and is flat; an opening portion 37b, which is formed on the substrate 11 side connected to the root portion 37a and has an opening hole 38; and a front portion portion 37c, which is formed on the substrate 11 side connected to the opening portion 37b and is flat. Furthermore, regarding the press-fit pin 37 of the first embodiment, the opening portion 37b is formed to have a wider width than the root portion 37a and the front portion portion 37c, and the width of the opening portion 37b is larger than the inner diameter of the hole 12 formed on the substrate 11. Therefore, when the press-fit pin 37 is inserted into the hole 12 formed on the substrate 11, the wide opening portion 37b is located inside the hole 12 of the substrate 11, and the opening portion 37b is pressed within the hole 12 of the substrate 11. At this time, due to the wide size of the opening 37b and the function of the opening hole 38, the opening 37b exerts a force to restore its original shape based on the elasticity of the metal material. Therefore, a frictional force is generated between the opening 37b of the press-fit pin 37 and the hole 12 of the substrate 11. Since the sum of this frictional force is greater than the sum of the forces based on spring elasticity applied by the plurality of contacts 32 relative to the upper surface of the substrate 11, this frictional force is used to hold the compression connector 31 in place and prevent the compression connector 31 from disengaging from the substrate 11 in the vertical direction.

[0032] As described above, regarding the connector 10 with a substrate in the first embodiment, the connection between the compression connector 31 and the substrate 11 can be easily achieved simply by inserting the press-fit pin 37 into the hole 12 formed on the substrate 11. In other words, the connector 10 with a substrate according to the first embodiment provides a structure where, when fixing the compression connector 31 and the substrate 11, the installation (fixing) operation of the connector is simple, and the compression connector 31 can be fixed to the substrate 11 with minimal movement. Therefore, the connector 10 with a substrate according to the first embodiment improves the operability of installing (fixing) the compression connector 31 relative to the substrate 11 and enables reliable installation.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the first embodiment above. Various modifications or improvements can be made to the first embodiment described above.

[0034] For example, in the first embodiment described above, eight press-fit pins 37 were used. However, the number and arrangement of the press-fit pins 37, which serve as the fixing parts of the present invention, can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the number of press-fit pins 37 can be one or more, and the arrangement of the press-fit pins 37 can be varied by considering the shape of the compression connector 31, the substrate 11, etc.

[0035] Furthermore, for example, in the first embodiment described above, when the press-fit pin 37 is inserted into the hole 12 formed on the substrate 11, the wide opening 37b is located inside the hole 12 of the substrate 11, and the opening 37b is pressed within the hole 12 of the substrate 11. However, in this invention, the press-fit pin 37 can also be used as an anti-detachment pin. That is, when the press-fit pin 37 is inserted into the hole 12 formed on the substrate 11, the wide opening 37b passes through the hole 12 of the substrate 11 and penetrates the interior of the hole 12, and is located at the bottom, so that the wide opening 37b hooks onto the lower entrance of the hole 12, thus acting as an anti-detachment component.

[0036] Reference above Figures 1 to 13 The structure of the connector 10 with a substrate according to the first embodiment has been described. Next, using... Figures 14-25 To illustrate: Another example of the substrate-based connector of the present invention is the substrate-based connector 100 of the second embodiment. Furthermore, in the following description, the same reference numerals are used for components that are the same as or similar to those described in the first embodiment above, and descriptions are omitted.

[0037] (Second Implementation) Reference Figures 14-25 The structure of the connector 100 with a substrate according to the second embodiment will be described. Figures 14-16 As shown, the connector 100 with a substrate in the second embodiment includes: a substrate 11 and a compression connector 31 mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 11.

[0038] The substrate 11 includes printed circuits (not shown) and is electrically connected to a compression connector 31 mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 11, thereby enabling it to transmit electrical signals, power, etc.

[0039] In addition, especially as Figures 17-19 As shown, a plurality of holes 12 are formed on the substrate 11. Regarding the plurality of holes 12 (six in the second embodiment), the compression connector 31 is fixed relative to the substrate 11 by inserting the plurality of fixing legs 137 of the compression connector 31 described later. Furthermore, the plurality of fixing legs 137 are formed as fixing portions of the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 20-25 As shown, the compression connector 31 has: a contact 32 that contacts the substrate 11; a housing 33 on which the contact 32 is fixed; a cover 34 that covers the upper surface of the housing 33; and a bottom cover 35 that covers the lower surface of the housing 33.

[0041] In particular, such as Figure 21 , Figure 22As shown, multiple contacts 32 are arranged in a horizontal row in the left-right direction.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 24 As shown, the multiple contacts 32 are fixed to the housing 33, and the front end 32a of the contacts 32 is shaped to have spring elasticity through bending. That is, the front end 32a of the contacts 32 is configured to protrude downward from the bottom surface of the bottom housing 35 when the compression connector 31 is not in contact with the substrate 11. Figure 24 (As shown in the diagram). Therefore, when the bottom surface of the base shell 35 constituting the compression connector 31 is pressed against the upper surface of the substrate 11 in the -Z direction, the front ends 32a of the plurality of contacts 32 protruding downward from the bottom surface of the base shell 35 are pressed into the bottom surface of the base shell 35 while a force based on spring elasticity is applied against the upper surface of the substrate 11. That is, the front ends 32a of the plurality of contacts 32 are subjected to a force in the +Z direction. Therefore, when the compression connector 31 is mounted against the substrate 11, since the plurality of contacts 32 are pressed against the upper surface of the substrate 11 by a force based on spring elasticity, for example, a stable and reliable connection can be maintained between the printed circuit (not shown) disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 11 and the plurality of contacts 32.

[0043] On the other hand, the rear end 32b of the contact 32 becomes a straight, extending line shape. Furthermore, as... Figure 24 As shown, a cable 36 is connected to the rear end 32b of the contact 32 using solder or the like. Therefore, electrical signals, power supplies, etc. from the outside are transmitted to the substrate 11 via the cable 36 and the contact 32.

[0044] Furthermore, regarding the components constituting the compression connector 31 in the second embodiment, the plurality of contacts 32 are made of a conductive metal material, and the housing 33 that fixes the plurality of contacts 32 is made of a non-conductive resin material or the like. Additionally, the cover shell 34 covering the upper surface of the housing 33 and the bottom shell 35 covering the lower surface of the housing 33 are combined vertically, with the housing 33 contained within each other, thereby forming the outline shape of the compression connector 31. The cover shell 34 and the bottom shell 35 are configured to surround the periphery of the housing 33 in which the plurality of contacts 32 are embedded, thereby protecting the housing 33, which contains the plurality of contacts 32 that receive power from the cable 36. This protection includes not only physical protection against the external environment but also electromagnetic protection such as electromagnetic shielding.

[0045] like Figures 20-25As shown, the cover 34 constituting the compression connector 31 in the second embodiment is configured to have: a top surface 34a, which is arranged parallel to the substrate 11; and a vertical surface 34b, which is bent vertically from the top surface 34a toward the substrate 11. Furthermore, on the substrate 11 side of the vertical surface 34b, i.e., the side below the vertical surface 34b, six fixing legs 137 are provided as fixing parts. These fixing legs 137 pass through holes 12 formed in the substrate 11 and serve as anti-detachment components for the compression connector 31 relative to the substrate 11.

[0046] In the second embodiment, three of the six fixing legs 137 are arranged at approximately equal intervals on the front side of the cover 34, and three are arranged at approximately equal intervals on the rear side of the cover 34. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the fixing legs 137 arranged at the front and the fixing legs 137 arranged at the rear are arranged in a way that they overlap in the front view, and are configured such that the front and rear fixing legs 137 form a group, resulting in a total of three groups of fixing legs 137.

[0047] Furthermore, regarding the specific shape of the fixed leg 137 in the second embodiment, as follows... Figures 20-25 As shown, the connector 100 with a substrate is formed as follows: a root portion 137a, which is flat and connected to the substrate 11 side of the vertical surface 34b; an opening portion 137b, which is connected to the substrate 11 side of the root portion 137a and has an opening hole 138; and a front end portion 137c, which is flat and connected to the substrate 11 side of the opening portion 137b. Furthermore, in the substrate-supported connector 100 of the second embodiment, an anti-detachment pin 140 is provided, which can be inserted into the opening hole 138 of the opening portion 137b formed on the fixing leg portion 137.

[0048] like Figures 17-19 As shown, the anti-detachment pin 140 of the second embodiment is configured to include: a pin tip 140a, which is bent when inserted into the opening hole 138; an insertion portion 140b, which, by inserting into the opening hole 138, becomes an anti-detachment member for the compression connector 31 relative to the substrate 11; and a flange portion 140c, which has a width dimension larger than the diameter of the opening hole 138. Furthermore, in Figures 16-19 as well as Figure 25 The image depicts the pin tip 140a as bent, but for the anti-detachment pin 140 in the pre-installation stage, the pin tip 140a is in the same shape as the insertion portion 140b, extending straight in the front-back direction.

[0049] Next, the method for installing the connector 100 with a substrate according to the second embodiment will be described. First, from Figures 17-19From the state shown, the retaining leg 137 of the compression connector 31 is inserted into the hole 12 of the substrate 11. From this state, three anti-detachment pins 140 are inserted into the openings 138 formed in the openings 137b of the retaining leg 137. Furthermore, as described above, the six retaining legs 137 of the compression connector 31 in the second embodiment are arranged in pairs of three, with the retaining legs 137 on the front side and the retaining legs 137 on the rear side overlapping in the front view. Therefore, there are also three sets of openings 138 formed in the openings 137b of the six retaining legs 137, arranged in pairs of two. The three anti-detachment pins 140 are then inserted into these three sets of paired openings 138. At this time, the anti-detachment pin 140 is inserted into the front end portion 137c from the rear side toward the front side relative to the opening hole 138. It continues until the flange portion 140c of the anti-detachment pin 140 contacts the opening hole 138 of the fixing leg portion 137 located on the rear side, then... Figure 25 As shown, the insertion portion 140b of the anti-detachment pin 140 is mounted on a set of openings 138 that overlap in the front view, and the pin tip 140a of the anti-detachment pin 140 passes forward through the opening 138 of the opening 137b formed on the fixing leg 137 on the front side. In this state, the pin tip 140a of the anti-detachment pin 140 is bent downwards to complete the insertion. Figure 25 The settings are shown below.

[0050] When completed Figure 25 In the shown configuration, the forces applied by the multiple contacts 32 relative to the upper surface of the substrate 11 based on spring elasticity will exert a force in the separation direction between the substrate 11 and the compression connector 31. However, since the anti-detachment pin 140 is provided on the fixing leg 137 of the compression connector 31 to clamp the substrate 11, the anti-detachment pin 140 will be subjected to the force based on spring elasticity, thereby holding the compression connector 31 and preventing the compression connector 31 from coming off the substrate 11 in the vertical direction.

[0051] As described above, regarding the connector 100 with a substrate in the second embodiment, the connection between the compression connector 31 and the substrate 11 can be easily achieved simply by inserting the fixing leg 137 into the hole 12 formed in the substrate 11 and inserting the anti-detachment pin 140 into the opening hole 138 formed in the fixing leg 137 for fixation. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the anti-detachment pin 140, after being inserted into the opening hole 138 of the opening 137b of the fixing leg 137, becomes an anti-detachment element by bending the pin tip 140a, thus preventing it from falling off or being lost like screws and nuts in the prior art. Moreover, since the fixing mechanism utilizes the pin shape of the anti-detachment pin 140, installation-related operation time is reduced, and screw torque control is not required as in the prior art.

[0052] In other words, the connector 100 with a substrate according to the second embodiment achieves a structure in which the installation (fixing) operation of the connector is simple when the compression connector 31 and the substrate 11 are fixed, and the compression connector 31 can be fixed to the substrate 11 with fewer movements. Therefore, the connector 100 with a substrate according to the second embodiment can improve the operability of installing (fixing) the compression connector 31 relative to the substrate 11 and perform reliable installation.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the second embodiment above. Various modifications or improvements can be made to the second embodiment described above.

[0054] For example, in the second embodiment described above, the following structure is adopted: for the openings 138 formed on the openings 137b of the six fixed legs 137, three sets of openings 138 are prepared in pairs, and three anti-detachment pins 140 are respectively inserted into these three sets of paired openings 138. However, the number, arrangement, and combination method of the fixed legs 137, the anti-detachment pins 140, and the fixing parts of the present invention can be arbitrarily changed.

[0055] This modified or improved method can also be included within the technical scope of the present invention, as can be clearly seen from the description of the scope of the claims.
