FPC connectors come in various styles, including flip-top and drawer types, allowing users to select the appropriate connector type based on their specific needs.

[0003] Existing flip-top electrical connectors achieve a flip-and-tighten effect by cooperating with contact arms on the conductive terminals and a pressure plate. However, the contact arms are prone to wear and even deformation during long-term use, causing the connection between the connector and the circuit board to loosen and affect the connection stability. Therefore, the present invention provides a flip-top electrical connector with a stable connection. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The fixing assembly includes a slidable fixing block, a fixing sleeve fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft, and a return spring arranged between the fixing block and the rotating shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, a buckle is provided at one end of the fixing sleeve, and slots for cooperating with the buckle are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the fixing block is arc-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, the shell is provided with an elastic buckle for fixing the blocking piece.

[0012] Further, guiding structures for cooperating with the limiting block are respectively provided on the housing and the rotating pressure plate.

[0013] Further, a limiting edge for restricting the rotation angle of the retaining piece is provided on one side of the housing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Through the cooperation of the slidable fixing blocks at both ends of the rotating shaft and the through holes, the connection between the rotating shaft and the base is made more firm, improving the overall stability and durability of the connector.

Detailed Embodiments

[0023] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In this embodiment, with reference toFigures 1-7 A flip - type electrical connector with stable connection in its specific implementation, including a housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a rotatable rotating pressure plate 3 through a rotating shaft 2, and the rotating shaft 2 is integrally formed on one side of the rotating pressure plate 3. A conductive terminal 4 and a grounding terminal 5 are installed in the housing 1. Fixed components are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 2, and the housing 1 is provided with through - holes 1A corresponding to the fixed components. A rotatable retaining piece 6 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1. By rotating the retaining piece 6, the rotating pressure plate 3 is firmly pressed, preventing the rotating pressure plate 3 from loosening due to vibration or external force during use, which affects the connection stability between the circuit board and the electrical connector. The fixed component includes a slidable fixed block 7, fixed sleeves 8 fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 2, and a return spring 9 provided between the fixed block 7 and the rotating shaft 2. Through the cooperation of the fixed block 7 and the through - hole 1A, together with the conductive terminal 4, the pressure generated by the rotating pressure plate 3 is shared, avoiding deformation of the contact arm of the conductive terminal 4 after long - term use, thus ensuring the contact reliability of the electrical connector. The fixed sleeve 8 restricts the fixed block 7 within the rotating shaft 2 to prevent the fixed block 7 from falling off the rotating shaft 2. The return spring 9 is located between the fixed block 7 and the rotating shaft 2, ensuring that the fixed block 7 can cooperate with the through - hole 1A while making the installation simpler and more convenient. Thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire electrical connector.

[0025] Further, one end of the fixed sleeve 8 is provided with a buckle 8A, and both ends of the rotating shaft 2 are provided with slots 2A for cooperating with the buckle 8A. Through the cooperation of the buckle 8A and the slot 2A, a firm connection is formed between the fixed sleeve 8 and the rotating shaft 2, avoiding loosening between the fixed sleeve 8 and the rotating shaft 2 due to vibration or external force during use, which may cause the fixed block 7 to fall off the rotating shaft 2 and affect the use effect.

[0026] Further, one end of the fixed block 7 is arc - shaped. This arc - shaped design enables the fixed block 7 to slide more smoothly when cooperating with the through - hole 1A, thus significantly reducing the friction and wear between the two. In this way, the overall service life of the electrical connector is effectively extended, ensuring its stability and reliability during long - term use.

[0027] Further, the housing 1 is provided with an elastic buckle 1B for fixing the retaining piece 6. The elastic buckle 1B makes the installation of the retaining piece 6 easier. By aligning the retaining piece 6 with the elastic buckle 1B and pressing it in, the elastic buckle 1B deforms inward and returns to its original shape after the retaining piece 6 is installed in place, thus firmly fixing the retaining piece 6. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the fixing effect of the retaining piece 6, ensuring that the retaining piece 6 will not be displaced due to vibration or external force during use.

[0028] Furthermore, a stop block 6A is provided on one side of the baffle 6, and both the housing 1 and the transfer plate 3 are provided with a stop slot 10 that cooperates with the stop block 6A. The cooperation between the stop block 6A and the stop slot 10 firmly secures the position of the baffle 6 during use, preventing unnecessary movement of the baffle 6 due to vibration or external forces during use, thereby ensuring stable contact between the transfer plate 3 and the circuit board. The baffle 6 is made of a slightly deformable plastic material, which allows it to deform slightly when subjected to external forces, allowing it to better adapt to the rotation of the transfer plate 3. It also allows it to quickly reset upon reaching the stop slot 10, ensuring that the stop block 6A firmly fits the stop slot 10.

[0029] Furthermore, the housing 1 and the transfer plate 3 are each provided with a guide structure 11 for engaging with the stop block 6A. The cooperation between the stop block 6A and the guide structure 11 allows the baffle 6 to gradually deform upward along with the guide structure 11 during rotation. The stop block 6A can engage with the stop slots 10 on the housing 1 and the transfer plate 3 without the need for upward swinging. This prevents the baffle 6 from breaking due to excessive force when bending upward, thereby improving the overall durability and safety of the electrical connector.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting rib 1C is provided on one side of the housing 1 to limit the rotation angle of the baffle 6. This design prevents the baffle 6 from rotating outside the housing 1 and affecting the normal operation of other electrical components. It also prevents the baffle 6 from being damaged by external forces after rotating outside the housing 1, which could cause damage to the baffle 6 or other parts of the electrical connector. This ensures the safety and reliability of the electrical connector in various operating environments.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The slidable fixing blocks 7 at both ends of the rotating shaft 2 cooperate with the through-holes 1A to provide a more secure connection between the rotating shaft 2 and the base, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the connector. Furthermore, the rotatable retaining plate 6 firmly presses the transfer plate 3, preventing it from loosening during use, thereby ensuring stable contact between the connector and the circuit board.
