DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention is a locking clip electrical connector structure, which is used to lock on a panel 5 with a socket electrical connector 4, and the panel 5 defines a plurality of sockets 50 (such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 ), which comprises: a plug electrical connector 1, a colloid shell 2 and a covering member 3, wherein the plug electrical connector 1 has a cable 10, wherein a main body 20 defined by the colloid shell 2 is formed by insert molding (insert molding) The plug electrical connector 1 is covered with a spring-pressing member 200 formed on two corresponding short sides of the main body 20, wherein one end of the spring-pressing member 200 is connected to the main body and extends a hook portion 202 forward, and two sides adjacent to the hook portion 202 extend a top-receiving side wing 204 and a pressing portion 206 is provided adjacent to the top-receiving side wing 204. A limiting structure 22 is extended from two corresponding short sides of the main body 20 at the end of the plug electrical connector 1. The limiting structure 22 includes two limiting members 220 extending outward from the main body 20 and correspondingly provided. An actuating space 222 for the spring-pressing member 200 to pass through is defined between each limiting member 220, wherein the front end of each limiting member 220 is bent to form a top-receiving limiting portion 224 corresponding to the top-receiving side wing 204 for limiting. In addition, the covering member 3 is formed by insert molding. The cable 10 is covered with a molded plastic molding, and the spring members 200 on both sides of the main body 20 are passed through the socket 50 of the panel 5, and the hooks 202 are buckled on the panel 5, so that the plug electrical connector 1 is electrically connected to the socket electrical connector 4.

[0022] The hook portion 202 at the front end of the pressing portion 206 is beyond the front end of the main body 20 and is at the same height as the front end of the plug electrical connector 1. The hook portion 202 extends outward from the pressing portion 206 to pass through the socket 50 and be snapped onto the panel 5. In this way, when the hook portion 202 passes through the socket 50 and snaps onto the panel 5, the plug electrical connector 1 can be fully electrically connected to the socket electrical connector 4 without being too loose or too tight to cause incomplete connection.

[0023] In addition, a space 2240 is defined between the corresponding stopper portions 224 of each stopper 220. Through the space 2240, the stopper 220 and the stopper portion 224 can be more effectively formed during the injection molding of the entire colloid shell 2, and the pressing activity space 2060 defined on both sides of the main body 20 corresponding to the pressing portion 206 is provided for the pressing portion 206 to move.

[0024] For reference Figures 3 to 6 The figure shows the stereoscopic structure of the colloid shell formed on the plug electrical connector of the present invention, the stereoscopic structure of the cover part combined with the rear end of the main body, the operation structure of the pressing part pressing the latch part, and the stereoscopic structure of the plug electrical connector locking clip connecting the socket electrical connector. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the plug electrical connector 1 is mainly welded to the cable 10 and then a colloid seat 12 is formed at the welded portion of the plug electrical connector 1 and the cable 10 by insert molding. After the plug electrical connector 1 and the cable 10 are manufactured, a second insert molding is performed so that the main body 20 in the colloid shell 2 covers the plug electrical connector 1 and the covering member 3 covers the cable 10, thereby achieving overall fixation. Figure 5 and Figure 6After being pressed, the spring-pressing members 200 at the two corresponding short sides of the main body 20 can retract the original position of the hook portion 202 inwardly, and the position of the hook portion 202 at this time corresponds to the position of the socket 50 on the panel 5, so that the hook portion 202 can be easily withdrawn from the socket 50, so as to achieve the disconnection of the plug electrical connector 1 and the socket electrical connector 4. Conversely, the plug-in connection between the plug electrical connector 1 and the socket electrical connector 4 can be achieved by directly inserting the plug electrical connector 1 into the socket 50 and snapping it onto the panel 5. At this time, the operator can feel the sound and feel of the snapping. Another plugging method is to first press the spring-pressing member 200 to retract the hook portion 202 at its original position inwardly, and the position of the hook portion 202 at this time corresponds to the position of the socket 50 on the panel 5, so that the hook portion 202 can be easily inserted into the socket 50, so as to achieve the plug-in connection between the plug electrical connector 1 and the socket electrical connector 4, so that the plug electrical connector 1 can be stably electrically connected to the socket electrical connector 5 without loosening. In addition, the anti-slip pressing surface 2062 formed on the outer surface of the pressing portion 206 can allow the operator to have a better operating feel when pressing and avoid the operator's hand slipping during pressing, which may result in a poor pressing operation.

[0025] In addition, the limiting structure 22 includes two limiting members 220, an actuating space 222 and a top limiting portion 224. Each limiting member 220 extends outward from the main body 20 and is correspondingly arranged. The actuating space 222 is defined between each limiting member 220. The actuating space 222 can limit the pressing distance of the spring-pressing member 200 to prevent the spring-pressing member 200 from being deformed due to material fatigue caused by excessive pressing. The top limiting portion 224 is bent at the front end of the limiting member 220 and corresponds to the top wing 204 for limiting. The top limiting portion 224 is located on the outside of the top wing 204 and overlaps with it. Therefore, when the spring-pressing member 200 is hooked and pulled outward by an external force, the top limiting portion 224 can resist the top wing 204 on the spring-pressing member 200, so that the spring-pressing member 200 can be limited to the actuating space 222 without being pulled outward to cause deformation or even breakage.
