[0094] The technical content of the present application is described below through specific embodiments, and those familiar with the technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present application can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. The details in this specification can be modified and changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application.

[0095] The present application provides an electrical connector, which can be used in conjunction with a circuit board, wherein the conductive terminals of the electrical connector include a plurality of abutment structures, and can provide sufficient abutment area to abut the circuit board, so as to solve the technical problem of poor contact caused by the electrical connector being used in conjunction with the circuit board on an electronic device.

[0096] For the technical concept of the electrical connector of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 34 The following are examples of embodiments.

[0097] At Figures 1 to 34 In the embodiment shown, an electrical connector 1 is disclosed. The electrical connector 1 is used in conjunction with a circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is, for example, a circuit board, a flexible circuit board, or a flexible flat cable. The electrical connector 1 includes: an insulating rubber core 11, a conductive terminal 12, a force-holding member 13, and an insulating cover 14.

[0098] like Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.17As shown, the two opposite sides of the insulating rubber core 11 are a rubber core main side S1 and a rubber core secondary side S2. The insulating rubber core 11 includes a rubber core plug-in slot 111, a rubber core abutment arm positioning structure 112, a rubber core main side penetration slot 113 and a rubber core secondary side penetration slot 114. The rubber core plug-in slot 111 provides a plug-in channel so that the circuit board 2 can be plugged into the electrical connector 1 through the rubber core plug-in slot 111. The rubber core main side penetration slot 113 is located on the rubber core main side S1, and the rubber core main side penetration slot 113 includes a rubber core main side deformation space 1130. The rubber core secondary side penetration slot 114 is located on the rubber core secondary side S2, and the rubber core secondary side penetration slot 114 includes a rubber core secondary side deformation space 1140. In addition, it should be noted that the rubber core inserting slot 111 can provide a limit for the circuit board 2 , thereby limiting the position of the circuit board 2 on the insulating rubber core 11 .

[0099] like Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.17 As shown, the conductive terminal 12 includes a terminal body 120, a terminal cover hook arm 121, a first terminal abutting arm 122 and a second terminal abutting arm 123. The terminal body 120 is respectively connected to the terminal cover hook arm 121, the first terminal abutting arm 122 and the second terminal abutting arm 123 to form a three-pronged structure. The terminal cover hook arm 121, the first terminal abutting arm 122 and the second terminal abutting arm 123 respectively include a terminal cover hook structure 1211, a first terminal abutting structure 1221 and a second terminal abutting structure 1231. The terminal body 120 is embedded in the insulating rubber core 11, so that the terminal cover hook arm 121 can enter the main side penetration groove 113 of the rubber core, and the first terminal abutment arm 122 and the second terminal abutment arm 123 can respectively enter the secondary side penetration groove 114 of the rubber core, so that the first terminal abutment structure 1221 and the second terminal abutment structure 1231 can respectively enter the rubber core plug-in groove 111.

[0100] It should be noted that if Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 , Fig.17 and Figure 23 to Figure 24 As shown, the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 is a C-shaped hooking structure and includes a hooking opening 12111 . The hooking opening 12111 can serve as a passage to allow the cover rotating shaft 141 to enter the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 .

[0101] It should be noted that when the terminal body 120 is embedded in the insulating rubber core 11, the terminal cover hook arm 121 and the first terminal abutment arm 122 are respectively deformable cantilevers, and the terminal cover hook structure 1211 and the first terminal abutment structure 1221 are respectively located at the free ends of the terminal cover hook arm 121 and the first terminal abutment arm 122 which are cantilevers. In this way, the terminal cover hook arm 121 and the first terminal abutment arm 122 can be deformed, so that the positions of the terminal cover hook structure 1211 and the first terminal abutment structure 1221 located at the free ends can be adjusted.

[0102] like Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.14 and Fig.18 As shown, the force holding member 13 is engaged with the insulating rubber core 11, and the force holding member 13 includes a force holding member shaft guide structure 131 and a force holding member shaft support structure 132. In the above embodiment, the force holding member 13 is a metal member, and the characteristics of the metal material can provide sufficient structural strength for the force holding member shaft guide structure 131 and the force holding member shaft support structure 132.

[0103] like Figure 6 to Figure 7 , Figures 9 and 10 , Figure 14 to Figure 15 and Figure 17 to Figure 18 As shown, the insulating cover 14 includes a cover shaft 141, a cover crimping structure 142 and a cover hooking channel 143. The insulating cover 14 can be installed on the insulating rubber core 11, so that the cover shaft 141 is located between the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 and the force holding member 13, so that the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 can hook the cover shaft 141, and the force holding member shaft guide structure 131 can guide the cover shaft 141 to rotate, so that the insulating cover 14 can be in a non-pressing state NPS (non-pressing state) and a pressing state PS (pressing state) after being subjected to force.

[0104] It should be noted that when the insulating cover 14 is installed on the insulating rubber core 11, the force-holding member shaft guide structure 131 can also guide the cover shaft 141 to move or rotate, so that the terminal cover hook structure 1211 can hook the cover shaft 141 through the cover hook channel 143. Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Figure 17 to Figure 18As shown, when the insulating cover 14 is installed on the insulating rubber core 11, the cover shaft 141 faces the hook opening 12111, so that the cover shaft 141 can enter the terminal cover hook structure 1211 through the hook opening 12111, so that the terminal cover hook structure 1211 can hook the cover shaft 141.

[0105] When the insulating cover 14 is in the non-crimping state NPS, the circuit board 2 can be inserted into the core inserting slot 111 .

[0106] When the insulating cover 14 is in the crimping state PS, the force-bearing member shaft support structure 132 supports the cover shaft 141, so that the cover shaft 141 can push against the terminal cover hook structure 1211 and force the terminal cover hook arm 121 to deform in the deformation space 1130 on the main side of the rubber core, thereby adjusting the position of the cover crimping structure 142 to adapt to the size of the circuit board 2, so that the cover crimping structure 142 can be crimped into the circuit board 2 in the rubber core plug-in slot 111 on the main side S1 of the rubber core.

[0107] It should be noted that if Figure 6 to Figure 7 and Figure 17 to Figure 18 As shown, when the insulating cover 14 is in the crimping state PS, the force-holding member shaft support structure 132 supports the cover shaft 141 toward the hooking opening 12111. At this time, the force-holding member shaft support structure 132 can stop the cover shaft 141 from leaving the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 through the hooking opening 12111, thereby preventing the state in which the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 is hooked to the cover shaft 141 from being unexpectedly released.

[0108] When the cover crimping structure 142 is crimped onto the circuit board 2, the circuit board 2 can push against the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and force the first terminal abutting arm 122 to deform in the deformation space 1140 on the secondary side of the rubber core, thereby adjusting the position of the first terminal abutting structure 1221. The rubber core abutting arm positioning structure 112 can position the second terminal abutting arm 123, so that the position of the second terminal abutting structure 1231 meets expectations, allowing the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 to adapt to the size of the circuit board 2 and abut against the circuit board 2 at the secondary side S2 of the rubber core respectively, so that the conductive terminal 12 of the electrical connector 1 can provide sufficient abutting area for the abutment of the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding poor contact between the conductive terminal 12 of the electrical connector 1 and the circuit board 2 due to insufficient abutting area.

[0109] It should be noted that, since the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 can respectively abut the circuit board 2, the conductive terminal 12 and the circuit board 2 can form a signal transmission circuit to transmit electrical signals or power signals in the electronic device.

[0110] Can selectively, such as Figure 7 and Fig.17 As shown, the insulating rubber core 11 further includes a rubber core hook arm deformation limiting structure 115, and the rubber core hook arm deformation limiting structure 115 is located in the rubber core main side deformation space 1130. It should be noted that when the insulating cover 14 is in the crimping state PS, the rubber core hook arm deformation limiting structure 115 can limit the deformation degree of the terminal cover hook arm 121 in the rubber core main side deformation space 1130, so as to prevent the deformation degree of the terminal cover hook arm 121 from exceeding expectations.

[0111] Can selectively, such as Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.17 As shown, the second terminal abutting arm 123 further includes a terminal first abutting arm deformation limiting structure 1232, and the terminal first abutting arm deformation limiting structure 1232 is located in the secondary side deformation space 1140 of the core. It should be noted that when the cover crimping structure 142 is crimped to the circuit board 2, the terminal first abutting arm deformation limiting structure 1232 can limit the deformation degree of the first terminal abutting arm 122 in the secondary side deformation space 1140 of the core, so as to prevent the deformation degree of the first terminal abutting arm 122 from exceeding expectations.

[0112] Can selectively, such as Fig.15 and Fig.17 As shown, when the terminal body 120 is embedded in the insulating rubber core 11, the second terminal abutting arm 123 is a deformable cantilever, and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 is located at the free end of the second terminal abutting arm 123 which is a cantilever. In this way, when the cover body crimping structure 142 is crimped against the circuit board 2, the circuit board 2 can also push against the second terminal abutting structure 1231 and force the second terminal abutting arm 123 to deform in the deformation space 1140 on the secondary side of the rubber core, thereby adjusting the position of the second terminal abutting structure 1231 located at the free end, so that the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 can adapt to the size of the circuit board 2 and abut against the circuit board 2 respectively, so that the conductive terminal 12 of the electrical connector 1 can provide sufficient abutting area for the abutment of the circuit board 2, thereby avoiding poor contact between the conductive terminal 12 of the electrical connector 1 and the circuit board 2 due to insufficient abutting area.

[0113] Can selectively, such as Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.17 As shown, the insulating rubber core 11 further includes a rubber core second abutment arm deformation limiting structure 116, and the rubber core second abutment arm deformation limiting structure 116 is located in the rubber core secondary side deformation space 1140. It should be noted that when the cover body crimping structure 142 is crimped to the circuit board 2, the rubber core second abutment arm deformation limiting structure 116 can limit the deformation degree of the second terminal abutment arm 123 in the rubber core secondary side deformation space 1140, so as to prevent the deformation degree of the second terminal abutment arm 123 from exceeding expectations.

[0114] like Fig.17 As shown, the second terminal abutting structure 1231 is located between the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the cover crimping structure 142, wherein when the insulating cover 14 is in the crimping state PS, the circuit board 2 can swing with the second terminal abutting structure 1231 as a fixed fulcrum, so that the cover crimping structure 142 can crimp the circuit board 2, and the first terminal abutting structure 1221 can also abut the circuit board 2. In addition, as Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.14 and Fig.18 As shown, the cover body shaft 141 includes a shaft crimping structure 1411. It should be noted that when the insulating cover body 14 is in the non-crimping state NPS, the shaft crimping structure 1411 leaves the force-holding member shaft support structure 132, and when the insulating cover body 14 is in the crimping state PS, the shaft crimping structure 1411 crimps the force-holding member shaft support structure 132.
