DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a connector 10 is provided, comprising a connecting body 100, a first fixing member 210, and a second fixing member 310. The connecting body 100 is provided with a first side surface 111, a bottom surface 112, and two end surfaces 113. The first side surface 111 is provided with at least one first socket 120; and both end surfaces 113 are provided with a second socket 130. Each first socket 120 is spaced apart between the two end surfaces 113 along the normal direction of the end surface 113, and one end of each first socket 120 close to the first side surface 111 and one end of each second socket 130 close to the corresponding end surface 113 extend to the bottom surface 112. The number of first fixing members 210 is the same as the number of first sockets 120, and one end of each first fixing member 210 is correspondingly plugged and fixed to each first socket 120, while the other end extends from the edge of the bottom surface 112. The number of the second fixing members 310 is the same as the number of the second sockets 130 . One end of each second fixing member 310 is plugged and fixed to a corresponding second socket 130 , and the other end extends from the edge of the bottom surface 112 .

[0041] When the connector 10 in the above embodiment is used, after the connector 10 is placed on the circuit board 20, the connecting body 100, the first fixing member 210 and the second fixing member 310 are respectively welded to the circuit board 20 to form a whole, ensuring that the connector 10 can be firmly and reliably fixed on the circuit board 20, and electrically connected to the circuit board 20 to be able to transmit signals, currents and voltages. Compared with the connector in the prior art, the number of welding positions and the uniformity of position distribution between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20 in this application are increased, and the connection strength between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20 is also increased. The thickness of the first fixing member 210 and the thickness of the second fixing member 310 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the sinker height and the packaging height of the connector 10, meeting the user's requirements for a lower sinker height and a lower packaging height. In addition, please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is understood that the connection strength between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20 is increased, so that the connector 10 can be assembled on the circuit board 20 by either board mounting or sunken board mounting, thereby improving the practicality of the connector 10.

[0042] The connecting body 100 can be configured as any conventional connection structure for electrically connecting the flat cable and the circuit board 20. Both the first fixing member 210 and the second fixing member 310 can be configured as fixing plates. The number of first fixing members 210 and second fixing members 310 can be flexibly adjusted based on actual usage needs. Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the two end surfaces 113 is provided with a second socket 130, and the first side surface 111 is provided with seven first sockets 120.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, both second sockets 130 further extend to the first side surface 111, and the insertion direction of the second fixing member 310 is the same as the insertion direction of the first fixing member 210. In this way, the first fixing member 210 and the second fixing member 310 can be correspondingly inserted into the connecting body 100 while the connecting body 100 remains in the same posture, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the connector 10.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first socket 120 has a first avoidance groove 121 and a first insertion groove 122. The first avoidance groove 121 is provided on the first side surface 111 and extends to the bottom surface 112. The first insertion groove 122 is provided on the bottom wall of the first avoidance groove 121. The first fixing member 210 includes a first plug-in portion 211, a first bent portion 212, and a first fixing portion 213 connected in sequence. The first plug-in portion 211 is plugged and fixed to the first insertion groove 122. The first bent portion 212 is located within the first avoidance groove 121 so that the first fixing portion 213 protrudes from the edge of the bottom surface 112. In this way, the first fixing member 210, except for the first fixing portion 213 used for welding to the circuit board 20, can be hidden within the first socket 120, ensuring that the first fixing member 210 does not interfere with the circuit board 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0045] Specifically in this embodiment, along the normal direction of the end surface 113, a first protrusion is provided on at least one of the two opposing sides of the first plug-in portion 211. The first protrusion is configured to abut against the inner sidewall of the first slot 122 when the first plug-in portion 211 is inserted into the first slot 122. This generates sufficient friction between the first protrusion and the inner sidewall of the first slot 122 to ensure that the first fixing member 210 is stably and reliably fixed to the connecting body 100, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0046] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5 ,and Figure 6As shown, the second socket 130 further has a second avoidance groove 131 and a second insertion groove 132. The second avoidance groove 131 is provided on the end surface 113 and extends to the bottom surface 112. The second insertion groove 132 is provided on the inner wall of the second avoidance groove 131. The second fixing member 310 includes a second plug-in portion 311, a second bent portion 312, and a second fixing portion 313 connected in sequence. The second plug-in portion 311 is plugged and fixed to the second insertion groove 132. The second bent portion 312 is located within the second avoidance groove 131 so that the second fixing portion 313 protrudes from the edge of the bottom surface 112. In this way, the second fixing member 310, except for the second fixing portion 313 used for welding to the circuit board 20, can be hidden within the second socket 130, ensuring that the second fixing member 310 does not interfere with the circuit board 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second avoidance groove 131 and the second slot 132 both extend to the first side surface 111. Along the normal direction of the end surface 113, a second protrusion is provided on at least one of the two opposing sides of the second plug-in portion 311. The second protrusion is configured to abut against the inner sidewall of the second slot 132 when the second plug-in portion 311 is inserted into the second slot 132. This generates sufficient friction between the second protrusion and the inner sidewall of the second slot 132 to ensure that the second fixing member 310 is stably and securely fixed to the connecting body 100, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0048] Specifically in this embodiment, a groove is provided on one side of the second fixing portion 313 away from the second bending portion 312. In this way, the edge length of the second fixing portion 313 is increased to increase the welding length between the second fixing portion 313 and the circuit board 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0049] like Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, optionally, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the two sides of each first fixing portion 213 and the two sides of each second fixing portion 313 are located on opposite sides of the bottom surface 112. In this way, when the connector 10 is assembled on the circuit board 20 using a sinker mounting method, the sinker height of the connector 10 is equal to the thickness of the first fixing portion 213 or the thickness of the second fixing portion 313, thereby providing a lower sinker height and package height.

[0050] Optionally, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the side of each first fixing portion 213 close to the end surface 113 and the side of each second fixing portion 313 close to the end surface 113 are located in the same plane and are both arranged parallel to the bottom surface 112. Figure 4It is understood that when the connector 10 is assembled on the circuit board 20 by means of a sunken plate installation method, all the first fixing parts 213 and all the second fixing parts 313 can be in surface contact with the circuit board 20, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the first fixing part 210 and the circuit board 20, and between the second fixing part 310 and the circuit board 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0051] Optionally, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the side of each first fixing portion 213 away from the end surface 113 and the side of each second fixing portion 313 away from the end surface 113 are located in the same plane and are both arranged parallel to the bottom surface 112. Figure 3 It is understood that when the connector 10 is assembled on the circuit board 20 by means of on-board mounting, all the first fixing portions 213 and all the second fixing portions 313 can be in surface contact with the circuit board 20, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the first fixing member 210 and the circuit board 20, and between the second fixing member 310 and the circuit board 20, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically in this embodiment, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the thickness of the first fixing portion 213 and the thickness of the second fixing portion 313 are the same. The minimum height of the sinker of the connector in the prior art is about 0.6mm, and the minimum height of the LED lamp bead 30 is about 0.4mm. The height of the sinker of the connector 10 in this application is 0.3mm (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The length shown in a in FIG) is suitable for common LED lamp beads 30 currently available on the market, while also providing a lower package height.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the first slot 122 includes a first slot section 1221 connected to the first avoidance slot 121, and a second slot section 1222 connected to an end of the first slot section 1221 away from the first avoidance slot 121. Along the normal direction of the end surface 113, the width of the first slot section 1221 is greater than the width of the second slot section 1222. The first plug-in portion 211 includes a first plug-in section 2111 that plugs and mates with the first slot section 1221, and a second plug-in section 2112 that plugs and mates with the second slot section 1222. In this way, the bottom wall of the first slot section 1221 can position the first plug-in section 2111, allowing the first fixing member 210 to be quickly, accurately, and reliably inserted into the first socket 120, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the connector 10.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, optionally, along the normal direction of the end surface 113, first guide portions 2113 are provided on both sides of the end of the second plug-in section 2112 away from the first plug-in section 2111. The first guide portions 2113 are configured to guide the second plug-in section 2112 when it is inserted into the second slot section 1222. In this way, the second plug-in section 2112 can be smoothly inserted into the second slot 132 under the guidance of the first guide portions 2113, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the connector 10.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, optionally, along the normal direction of the end surface 113, the two inner side walls of the second slot section 1222 near the end of the first slot section 1221 are each provided with a second guide portion 1223. The second guide portion 1223 is configured to guide the second plug section 2112 when it is inserted into the second slot section 1222. In this way, the second plug section 2112 can be smoothly inserted into the second slot 132 under the guidance of the second guide portion 1223, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the connector 10.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, optionally, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, third guide portions 1224 are provided on both inner sidewalls of the first slot section 1221 near one end of the first avoidance slot 121. The third guide portions 1224 are configured to guide the second plug-in section 2112 when it is inserted into the first slot section 1221. In this way, the second plug-in section 2112 can be smoothly inserted into the first slot 122 under the guidance of the third guide portions 1224, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the connector 10.

[0057] Specifically in this embodiment, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the thickness of the first plug portion 211, the thickness of the second plug portion 311, the height of the first slot 122, and the height of the second slot 132 are all the same. The first guide portion 2113 can be configured as a guide arc surface. The second guide portion 1223 and the third guide portion 1224 can both be configured as guide inclined surfaces.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, optionally, along the normal direction of the end surface 113, the two inner side walls of the first avoidance groove 121 are inclined toward the first groove section 1221 and are correspondingly connected to the two inner side walls of the first groove section 1221. In this way, the two inner side walls of the first avoidance groove 121 can guide the first plug-in section 2111, ensuring that the first plug-in section 2111 can smoothly pass through the first avoidance groove 121 and be correspondingly inserted into the first groove section 1221, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the connector 10.

[0059] Specifically in this embodiment, the three inner side walls of the first avoidance groove 121 are all inclined toward the first groove section 1221 .

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting body 100 includes an insulating body 110, a terminal 140 and a lock 150. The insulating body 110 is provided with a first side surface 111, a bottom surface 112, two end surfaces 113, and a second side surface 114 arranged opposite to the first side surface 111. The first side surface 111 is also provided with an interface 160. Each first socket 120 is located on the side of the interface 160 close to the bottom surface 112. The second side surface 114 is provided with a third socket 170 connected to the interface 160. The terminal 140 is plugged into the third socket 170. The lock 150 is movably connected to the insulating body 110 and is configured to press the cable tightly against the insulating body 110 when the cable is inserted into the interface 160, and is electrically connected to the terminal 140. In this way, the four sides of the insulating body 110 can be respectively fixed to the circuit board 20 by welding through the terminals 140, the first fixing member 210 and the second fixing member 310, thereby increasing the number of welding positions and the uniformity of position distribution between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20, and increasing the connection strength between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20. The thickness of the first fixing member 210 and the thickness of the second fixing member 310 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the sinker height and package height of the connector 10, meeting the user's requirements for a lower sinker height and a lower package height. In addition, the increased connection strength between the connector 10 and the circuit board 20 allows the connector 10 to be assembled on the circuit board 20 either by board mounting or by sinker mounting, thereby improving the practicality of the connector 10.

[0061] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, optionally, the terminal 140 includes an end body 141 and a first force arm 142 and a second force arm 143 spaced apart on the end body 141. A first contact point 144 is provided at one end of the first force arm 142 away from the end body 141. A second contact point 145 is provided at a side of the second force arm 143 away from the end body 141. Both the first contact point 144 and the second contact point 145 are configured to be located within the interface 160 when the end body 141 is plugged into the third socket 170, and are used to electrically connect to the cable inserted into the interface 160. In this way, the terminal 140 adopts dual force arms and dual contact points, and any one of the first contact point 144 and the second contact point 145 can achieve line transmission effect by contacting the cable, and the performance is more stable and reliable.

[0062] like Figure 11As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the first lever arm 142 and the second lever arm 143 extend in the same direction and are both arranged parallel to the bottom surface 112. The first contact point 144 and the second contact point 145 are spaced apart. The end of the first contact point 144 away from the bottom surface 112 and the end of the second contact point 145 away from the bottom surface 112 are both located in a plane parallel to the bottom surface 112.

[0063] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, optionally, the third socket 170 includes a third slot 171 provided on the second side 114 and connected to the interface 160, and a fourth slot 172 and a fifth slot 173 spaced apart on the bottom wall of the third slot 171. The terminal 140 also includes a third plug-in portion 146 and a fourth plug-in portion 147 spaced apart on the end body 141. When the end body 141 is plugged into and mated with the third slot 171, the third plug-in portion 146 is correspondingly plugged into and mated with the fourth slot 172, and the fourth plug-in portion 147 is correspondingly plugged into and mated with the fifth slot 173. In this way, by increasing the number of contact surfaces between the terminal 140 and the insulating body 110, it is ensured that the terminal 140 can be stably and reliably fixed to the insulating body 110, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, at least one third protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the terminal body 141. Each third protrusion is configured to abut against the inner wall of the third slot 171 when the terminal body 141 is inserted into the third slot 171. This creates sufficient friction between the third protrusion and the inner wall of the third slot 171 to ensure that the terminal 140 is stably and securely fixed to the insulating body 110, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0065] Specifically in this embodiment, at least one fourth protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the fourth plug portion 147. Each fourth protrusion is configured to abut against the inner wall of the fifth slot 173 when the fourth plug portion 147 is inserted into the fifth slot 173. Thus, sufficient friction is generated between the fourth protrusion and the inner wall of the fifth slot 173 to ensure that the terminal 140 is stably and reliably fixed to the insulating body 110, thereby improving the reliability of the connector 10.

[0066] Specifically in this embodiment, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112 and away from the side of the bottom surface 112 , the fourth plug portion 147 , the second lever arm 143 , the first lever arm 142 and the third plug portion 146 are sequentially spaced apart on one side of the end body 141 .

[0067] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the third slot 171 optionally extends to the bottom surface 112. The terminal 140 further includes a third fixing portion 148 located at one end of the terminal body 141 near the bottom surface 112. The third fixing portion 148 is configured to extend from the edge of the bottom surface 112 and be located outside the insulating body 110 when the terminal body 141 is plugged into and mated with the third slot 171. Along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112, the thickness of the third fixing portion 148 is less than or equal to the thickness of the second fixing portion 313. This provides a lower sink height and package height.

[0068] Specifically in this embodiment, along the normal direction of the bottom surface 112 , the thickness of the third fixing portion 148 , the thickness of the second fixing portion 313 , and the thickness of the first fixing portion 213 are all the same.

[0069] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, optionally, a side of the end body 141 away from the first side surface 111 is further provided with an avoidance groove 149. In this way, the connector 10 will not short-circuit with the aluminum substrate when installed on the aluminum substrate, thereby improving the reliability and practicality of the connector 10.

[0070] It should be noted that the connector 10 can be used on a PCB board or an aluminum substrate.
