[0002] Wire-to-board connectors are used to transmit current and / or signals. They have a female terminal for connecting to cables or ribbon cables and a male terminal for mounting on a circuit board. Due to their flexible assembly, good transmission performance, and easy installation, wire-to-board connectors are widely used in electronic office equipment, power systems, and industrial automation systems.
[0003] The wire-to-board connector uses a TPA (terminal locking assembly) structure to assist in locking the terminal positions, ensuring that the terminals are fully seated inside the connector housing. To remove the terminals from the connector housing, the TPA must be removed first.

This structure can disperse stress, avoid concentrated and unidirectional forces during injection molding, and reduce local deformation. Simultaneously, it helps improve the structural rigidity of the first and second terminal locking members, helping to resist internal stress generated during injection molding and cooling, thereby effectively improving the problem of deformation of the first and second terminal locking members after injection molding, alleviating the difficulty of assembly with the housing caused by their deformation, reducing operational difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0032] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of this application. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of this application, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] In this application, when directions (up, down, left, right, front, and back) are described, it is only for the purpose of describing the technical solution of this application, and does not indicate or imply that the technical features referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on this application.
[0034] In this application, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," "exceeding," etc. are understood to exclude the stated number; "above," "below," "within," etc. are understood to include the stated number. In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or the order of the indicated technical features.
[0035] In this application, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral molding; they can refer to mechanical connection, electrical connection, or connection capable of mutual communication; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0036] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, 6, 8, and 9, embodiments of this application provide a wire-to-board connector, including a housing 1, a terminal assembly 2, and a terminal locking assembly. The housing 1 has an upper receiving cavity 11 and a lower receiving cavity 12. An opening groove 13 is provided at the front of the housing 1 between the upper receiving cavity 11 and the lower receiving cavity 12, and the opening groove 13 communicates with the upper receiving cavity 11 and the lower receiving cavity 12.
[0037] Terminal assembly 2 includes a first terminal 21 disposed in the upper receiving cavity 11 and a second terminal 22 disposed in the lower receiving cavity 12. Both the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are provided with pressing parts 23 extending into the opening slot 13. The pressing parts 23 are used to mate with the circuit board 3 to realize the electrical connection of signal or power. It is understood that the number of upper receiving cavities 11 and lower receiving cavities 12 can be reasonably set according to the actual number of terminals, and there is no limitation here.
[0038] The terminal locking assembly includes a first terminal locking member 41 mounted on the top of the housing 1 and a second terminal locking member 42 mounted on the bottom of the housing 1. The first terminal locking member 41 is used to restrict the movement of the first terminal 21 in the front-back direction, and the second terminal locking member 42 is used to restrict the movement of the second terminal 22 in the front-back direction. It can be understood that the first terminal locking member 41 is used to at least restrict the rearward movement of the first terminal 21, and the second terminal locking member 42 is used to at least restrict the rearward movement of the second terminal 22.
[0039] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the first terminal locking member 41 and / or the second terminal locking member 42 have alternating first outer surface 431 and second outer surface 432 along their length on the side facing away from the housing 1. The first outer surface 431 and the second outer surface 432 are at different heights, ensuring that the first outer surface 431 and the second outer surface 432 do not form a continuous plane, thus forming a rack-like or rack-like structure. This structure can disperse stress, avoid concentrated and unidirectional forces during the injection molding process, and reduce local deformation. At the same time, it helps to improve the structural rigidity of the first terminal locking member 41 and the second terminal locking member 42, which helps to resist the internal stress generated during injection molding and cooling, thereby effectively improving the problem of deformation of the first terminal locking member 41 and the second terminal locking member 42 after injection molding, improving the problem of difficulty in assembling with the housing 1 due to their deformation, reducing operational difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency.
[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5, the first outer surface 431 is a plane or a curved surface, and the second outer surface 432 is a plane or a curved surface. The first outer surface 431 and the second outer surface 432 are connected by a transition surface 433. In other words, both the first outer surface 431 and the second outer surface 432 are either planes or curved surfaces, which helps to reduce injection molding deformation. At the same time, planes and curved surfaces are also easy to process and produce, which helps to reduce production costs.
[0041] Further, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the housing 1 has a first snap-fit portion 141 on the left and right sides of the first terminal locking member 41, and a first protrusion 411 on the left and right sides of the first terminal locking member 41. The first snap-fit portion 141 abuts against the top of the first protrusion 411 and / or the outer side extending in the front-back direction, which plays a role in positioning and installation, and helps to restrict the first terminal locking member 41 from moving upward or in the left-right direction.
[0042] The housing 1 has second latching portions 142 on the left and right sides of the second terminal locking member 42, and second protrusions 421 on the left and right sides of the second terminal locking member 42. The second latching portions 142 abut against the bottom of the second protrusions 421 and / or the outer side extending in the front-back direction, which serves to position and install the second terminal locking member 42, thereby restricting the second terminal locking member 42 from moving downward or in the left-right direction.
[0043] Further, referring to Figures 2, 5, 6 and 8, both the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 have a connecting body 241, and the pressing part 23 is connected to the connecting body 241. The top and bottom of the housing 1 are provided with first connecting holes 15, the upper receiving cavity 11 is connected to the first connecting hole 15 located at the top, and the lower receiving cavity 12 is connected to the first connecting hole 15 located at the bottom.
[0044] The connecting body 241 has a first notch 242 at a position corresponding to the first connecting hole 15, and a first baffle 243 is provided in front of the first notch 242. The first terminal locking member 41 and the second terminal locking member 42 both have a first limiting part 434 that passes through the first connecting hole 15 and extends into the first notch 242. The front end of the first limiting part 434 abuts against the first baffle 243. The first limiting part 434 of the first terminal locking member 41 limits the first baffle 243 of the first terminal 21, thereby restricting the first terminal 21 from moving backward. The first limiting part 434 of the second terminal locking member 42 limits the first baffle 243 of the second terminal 22, thereby restricting the second terminal 22 from moving backward. This ensures that when the housing 1 is snapped onto the circuit board 3, the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 do not move, thereby ensuring the stability of current and / or signal input and output.
[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figures 2, 5, 7 and 8, both the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 include signal terminals. The housing 1 has power terminal receiving cavities 16 on the left and right sides of the signal terminals, and a second connecting hole 17 is provided on the top of the power terminal receiving cavity 16.
[0046] The housing 1 has a power terminal 25 inside the power terminal receiving cavity 16. The front part of the power terminal receiving cavity 16 is connected to the opening groove 13, so that the pressing part 23 of the power terminal 25 for abutting against the circuit board 3 can extend into the opening groove 13 to realize electrical connection.
[0047] The power terminal 25 has a second notch 251 at a position corresponding to the second connecting hole 17, and a second baffle 252 is provided in front of the second notch 251. The first terminal locking member 41 has a second limiting part 412 that passes through the second connecting hole 17 and extends into the second notch 251, and the front end of the second limiting part 412 abuts against the second baffle 252. By limiting the second baffle 252 of the power terminal 25 through the second limiting part 412 of the first terminal locking member 41, the power terminal 25 is restricted from moving backward, ensuring that the power terminal 25 does not shift when the housing 1 is snapped onto the circuit board 3, thereby ensuring the stability of current input and output.
[0048] Furthermore, referring to Figures 2, 4, and 5, the top and bottom of the housing 1 are provided with abutment grooves 18. The first terminal locking member 41 and the second terminal locking member 42 are each provided with a first buckle 435 extending into the abutment groove 18 on the side near the housing 1. The inner side of the top of the abutment groove 18 is provided with a protruding edge 181. The first buckle 435 is engaged with the protruding edge 181, which restricts the first terminal locking member 41 from falling out upward and the second terminal locking member 42 from falling out downward. This helps to enhance the stability of the connection between the first terminal locking member 41 and the second terminal locking member 42 and the housing 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the signal terminal and the power terminal 25 and the circuit board 3, and effectively ensuring that the signal and current can be stably input and output.
[0049] Further, referring to Figures 1, 3 and 9, the housing 1 is provided with a first mounting portion 191 and a second mounting portion 192 that extend forward and are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The front part of the upper receiving cavity 11 passes through the first mounting portion 191, and the front part of the lower receiving cavity 12 passes through the second mounting portion 192. An opening groove 13 is formed between the first mounting portion 191 and the second mounting portion 192.
[0050] The first mounting portion 191 and the second mounting portion 192 are provided with mounting grooves 193 corresponding to each other in the vertical direction. The housing 1 is provided with a second buckle 194 in the mounting groove 193. The second buckle 194 extends from the mounting groove 193 of the first mounting portion 191 to the mounting groove 193 of the second mounting portion 192. The second buckle 194 includes a buckle body 1941 and a buckle seat 1942 provided at the bottom of the buckle body 1941. The buckle seat 1942 is provided with inclined top surfaces 1943 on the left and right sides of the buckle body 1941. The inclined top surfaces 1943 are inclined from front to back and upward to guide the circuit board 3 to move along the inclined top surfaces 1943 towards the housing 1, that is, backward.
[0051] Referring to Figure 9, when the wire-to-board connector is inserted into the circuit board 3, before the bottom of the circuit board 3 reaches the rear end of the inclined top surface 1943, the bottom of the circuit board 3 abuts against the inclined top surface 1943 and presses the retainer 1942 downward. The inclined top surface 1943 guides the circuit board 3 to move backward. At the same time, the latch body 1941 passes through the guide groove 31 of the circuit board 3 and moves towards the reset groove 32. When the circuit board 3 moves backward to the position where its bottom is disengaged from the rear end of the inclined top surface 1943, the retainer 1942 can fully enter the reset groove 32 of the circuit board 3 and reset to achieve upward movement. In its natural state, the rear end of the inclined top surface 1943 is higher than the top surface of the second mounting part 192. When the retainer 1942 resets, the circuit board 3 and the retainer 1942 coincide in the height direction, thereby restricting the movement of the circuit board 3 relative to the wire-to-board connector in the front-back direction, preventing separation between the two, and ensuring the stability of current and signal input and output.
[0052] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the wire-to-board connector also includes a latching locking element 5. The housing 1 has two second latches 194 spaced apart along the left-right direction. The tops of the two second latches 194 are connected by a connecting seat 195, which is located above the first mounting portion 191. When the circuit board 3 needs to be removed from the wire-to-board connector, the connecting seat 195 needs to be pressed, causing the second latches 194 to move downwards. The top of the latch 1942, i.e., the rear end of the inclined top surface 1943, is lower than the top surface of the second mounting portion 192, thus preventing interference with the forward and backward movement of the circuit board 3 and facilitating operation.
[0053] A latching locking member 5 is disposed between the connecting seat 195 and the first mounting part 191, and engages with the first mounting part 191 in the front-to-back direction to ensure that the latching locking member 5 is stably connected to the housing 1. A locking seat 51 is provided at the rear of the latching locking member 5. The locking seat 51 has a limiting surface 511 for abutting against the bottom of the connecting seat 195 to restrict the downward movement of the connecting seat 195, thereby restricting the downward movement of the second latch 194. The latching locking member 5 locks the second latch 194, preventing it from springing back up or down, thus ensuring that the circuit board 3 is stably connected to the wire-to-board connector. When it is necessary to remove the circuit board 3, simply remove the latching locking member 5 and press the connecting seat 195, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the circuit board 3.
[0054] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the wire-to-board connector also includes a circuit board 3, which is mounted in the opening slot 13 to abut against the pressing portion 23 of the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 to realize the input and output of power and signals.
[0055] Referring to Figures 3 and 9, in some embodiments, the circuit board 3 has a latching groove 33 on the side near the housing 1. The latching groove 33 includes a connecting guide groove 31 and a reset groove 32. The guide groove 31 is located in front of the reset groove 32 and is used to allow the latching body 1941 to pass through and enter the reset groove 32. The projection of the reset groove 32 in the vertical direction is not less than the projection of the latch 1942 in the vertical direction. In other words, the projection of the reset groove 32 in the vertical direction completely covers the projection of the latch 1942 in the vertical direction, so that the latch 1942 can be reset upward after the latching body 1941 enters the reset groove 32. The projection of the guide groove 31 in the front-back direction is less than the projection of the latch 1942 in the front-back direction. That is, the projection of the guide groove 31 in the front-back direction partially covers the projection of the latch 1942 in the front-back direction. In other words, the minimum width of the guide groove 31 in the left-right direction is less than the minimum width of the latch 1942 in the left-right direction. When the card holder 1942 enters the reset slot 32, the card holder 1942 cannot pass through the guide slot 31 and come out, thereby restricting the circuit board 3 from moving forward and effectively preventing the circuit board 3 from coming out of the wire-to-board connector.
[0056] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the wire-to-board connector also includes a rear cover 6, which is detachably mounted on the rear of the housing 1 to shield the upper receiving cavity 11 and the lower receiving cavity 12 from the front-to-back direction, thereby protecting the terminals.

[0058] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
