Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, this embodiment provides a U-shaped spring clip seat connector, specifically comprising a seat 1 and a spring clip 2, wherein the seat 1 is U-shaped, and there are two spring clips 2, which are respectively mounted on the seat arm 12 of the seat 1. A positioning column 11 is provided at the bottom of the seat 1, and a through hole 13 is provided from the bottom to the top of the seat arm 12, so that the seat arm 12 forms an arm slot 122. When the abutting portion 22 of the spring clip 2 is compressed, the abutting portion 22 will be received in the arm slot 122. The spring clip 2 includes a welding portion 21, an abutting portion 22, a bent portion 23, and a fixing portion 24. The fixing portion 24 is mounted in the fixing slot 121 of the seat arm 12. The fixing portion 24 extends from the bottom of the seat 1 to form a welding portion 21. The two ends of the bent portion 23 are the top of the fixing portion 24 and the abutting portion 22, respectively. The abutting portion 22 is reset and rebounded through the bent portion 23.

[0036] like Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the fixing groove 121 extends from the bottom of the seat 1 to the seat arm 12, and the elastic piece 2 is installed from the bottom to the top of the seat 1. The top of the fixing groove 121 limits the fixing portion 24 of the elastic piece 2 from moving upward, so that the elastic piece 2 is fixed on the seat 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the contact portion 22 is semicircular, which can achieve large-area contact and prevent the contact device from loosening. The surface of the spring 2 is coated with a wear-resistant layer or a plating layer.

[0038] In actual use, the spring piece 2 is first bent and shaped to form a welding portion 21, abutting portion 22, a bent portion 23, and a fixing portion 24, and then the spring piece 2 is installed from the bottom of the seat 1 from bottom to top. Figure 2 、 3 As shown, until the top of the fixing groove 121 limits the fixing portion 24 of the spring 2 from moving upward. When the assembled connector is installed on the device, it is generally fixed on the PCB board, and the positioning column 11 of the base 1 is aligned with the positioning hole of the PCB board, and the welding portion 21 of the spring 2 is welded to the positive and negative electrodes or signal terminals of the circuit board to ensure that the connector is effectively fixed on the PCB board or other parts of the device. Figure 5 As shown, the device connection part 3 of other equipment abuts against the abutment part 22 of the spring 2, the bending part 23 bends under force, the abutment part 22 always maintains elastic force and abuts against the device connection part 3, and the surface of the spring 2 is coated with a wear-resistant layer or plating, which effectively extends the service life of the spring 2.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 6 、 7As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the end of the abutting portion 22 extends to form a limiting portion 25 parallel to the fixing portion 24, and the end of the limiting portion 25 abuts the through hole 13 to limit the abutting portion 22 from deviating toward the center of the seat 1. The resilience of the abutting portion 22 and the bending portion 23 can be made stronger, so that the abutting portion 22 always has a stronger reset performance, better contact, and a tighter clamping of the device connection portion 3.
