The shells of the plug and the socket are provided with mutually engaging docking ports. The socket shell is provided with a plurality of rivet plates for fixing the base on a side away from the docking port. The socket shell is also provided with two positioning columns on the side of the rivet plates. The plug shell is fixedly connected to the base by a buckle.

[0005] Furthermore, the socket housing is connected to the rivet plate at a position lower than the side end face and lower than the thickness of the rivet plate, so that the rivet plate is flush with the end face after riveting.

[0006] Furthermore, the top edge of the riveting plate is rounded to facilitate riveting.

[0007] Furthermore, the two positioning posts are of different thicknesses.

[0008] Furthermore, the docking interface is in a trapezoidal shape, and the edges of the docking interface are chamfered.

[0009] Furthermore, the connector housing has a length of 16 mm, and a height of 4 mm after the plug and the socket are butt-jointed.

[0010] Furthermore, the rivet plates are arranged on both sides of the socket shell, the positioning column is arranged on the center line of the end surface of the socket shell, and the positioning column is located on the mid-vertical line of the rivet plate connection line.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning column is hingedly connected to the socket housing, and the positioning column can be tilted and rotated toward both sides of the rivet flap.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: the socket base of this low-profile connector is fixed in the shell by riveting, which can greatly reduce the height of the socket base, the plug base and the shell are fixed by snap connection, and a positioning column is provided to facilitate the installation of the connector.

[0021] The technical scheme of the present invention is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-6, a low-profile connector, including a plug and a socket, both of which are provided with a shell 2 and a base 3, a plurality of pin body fittings 1 are provided in the base 3, the shells 2 of the plug and the socket are provided with mutually engaged docking ports 4, the socket shell 2 is provided with a plurality of rivet plates 5 for fixing the base 3 on the side away from the docking port 4, the socket shell 2 is also provided with two positioning columns 6 on the side of the rivet plates 5; the plug shell 2 is fixedly connected to the base 3 by a snap. The docking ports 4 of the plug and the socket are mutually engaged for connection, the pin body fittings 1 are mutually conductive, and a wire is welded on the back of the pin body fittings 1 and then connected to the electronic device. The base 3 is made of insulating material, the pin body fitting 1 is installed in the base 3 and fixed in the shell 2, so the base 3 needs to be fixed in the shell 2.

[0023] like Figure 6 The pin body assembly 1 in the connector plug is a socket, and a claw spring is installed in the socket, so the base 3 of the plug is slightly thicker so that it can wrap the socket. The plug shell 2 and the base 3 can be fixedly connected by a snap fastener in the prior art. The plug shell 2 is provided with a ridge, and the base 3 is provided with a groove. When installing, the base 3 is slightly deformed before being inserted. After the base 3 is inserted into the shell 2, it is not easy to fall out.

[0024] like Figure 3 The pin body assembly 1 inside the connector socket is a plug pin, so the socket base 3 is thinner and only needs to wrap part of the plug pin. The thinner socket base 3 is not easy to fix in the housing 2. The snap-on fixation and gluing fixation generally used in the prior art will increase the thickness and cannot meet the design requirements. Therefore, this application uses a rivet plate 5 to rivet and fix the socket base 3. The rivet plate 5 is only 0.2mm thick, which can greatly reduce the thickness of the socket base 3. The height of the connector connection surface is further reduced from 6mm to 4mm.

[0025] The socket housing 2 is connected to the rivet plate 5 at a lower level than the side end face, and is lower than the thickness of the rivet plate 5, so that the rivet plate 5 is flush with the end face after riveting. If the rivet plate 5 is flush with the side end face, the connection of the rivet plate 5 will be higher than the side end face after riveting, causing the connector to be unevenly installed and easily damaged. The top edge of the rivet plate 5 is smooth, making it easy to rivet. The two positioning columns 6 are not consistent in thickness, which makes it easy to identify the installation direction of the connector and prevent reverse installation. The docking port 4 is trapezoidal in shape to prevent the connector plug from being connected reversely; the edge of the docking port 4 is chamfered, making the connector easy to plug and unplug and connect, easy to align and smoother to connect. The connector housing 2 is 16 mm long, and the height is 4 mm after the plug and socket are docked.

[0026] Example 2 After the socket housing 2 is installed in the base 3, the riveting plate 5 needs to be riveted. In the prior art, the riveting plate 5 can be pressed down by a tool, such as pliers, etc., but it is easy to cause the riveting surface to be uneven and damage the connector.

[0027] like Figure 7 In this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, the rivet plates 5 are arranged on both sides of the socket housing 2, the positioning column 6 is arranged on the center line of the end surface of the socket housing 2, and the positioning column 6 is located on the mid-perpendicular line of the connecting line of the rivet plates 5. The positioning column 6 is hingedly connected to the socket housing 2, and the positioning column 6 can be tilted and rotated toward both sides of the rivet plates 5.

[0028] After the base 3 is installed into the socket housing 2, a plate with corresponding positioning posts 6 is used to reserve holes for the docking port and the needle body assembly 1. The positioning posts 6 are inserted into the plate, and the riveting sheet 5 can be easily riveted while being inserted and swung left and right. The riveting surface can be kept flat with the end surface, and other parts of the connector will not be damaged. The height of the assembled connector can be reduced to 4mm after connection. The withstand voltage can reach 500AC, no breakdown for 5s, and the insulation resistance is greater than 1000MΩ @500VDC, which fully meets the size requirements of highly miniaturized equipment.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.

[0030] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
