[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a wire end connector 10, which includes a wire end cap 100, an elastic latch 200, and a pull strap 300. The wire end cap 100 has a first pull strap mounting hole 110 and a mounting groove 120. The elastic latch 200 is engaged in the mounting groove 120 and has a second pull strap mounting hole 210. The elastic latch 200 has a reinforcing rib 220 on the side near the second pull strap mounting hole 210. The pull strap 300 passes through the first pull strap mounting hole 110 and the second pull strap mounting hole 210. Compared with the prior art, the elastic latch 200 in the wire end connector 10 provided in this application has a reinforcing rib 220 on the side near the second pull strap mounting hole 210, thereby improving the rigidity of the elastic latch 200 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210 and preventing deformation or breakage of the elastic latch 200 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210 during the pulling of the pull strap, thus improving the service life of the elastic latch 200.

[0025] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire connector 100 includes a base 130, a top cover 140, and a PCB board 150. The base 130 has a mounting groove 120 on its outer wall, and a spring-loaded latch 200 is engaged within the mounting groove 120. The base 130 also has a receiving groove 131, and the top cover 140 is positioned on top of the base 130 and engaged with it. The PCB board 150 is positioned within the receiving groove 131 and sandwiched between the base 130 and the top cover 140.

[0026] Furthermore, the wire connector 100 also includes an inner mold 160, which is formed by injection molding into the receiving groove 131 to encapsulate the PCB board 150 within the receiving groove 131.

[0027] The assembly process of the wire connector 100 is as follows: First, the PCB board 150 is placed in the receiving groove 131, then the top cover 140 is snapped into the top of the base 130 to limit the PCB board 150. Finally, the PCB board 150 is injected into the receiving groove 131 through the injection hole to form the inner mold 160, so that the inner mold 160 encapsulates the PCB board 150 in the receiving groove 131.

[0028] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the elastic latch 200 includes a latching part 230 and an unlocking part 240. The latching part 230 is engaged in the mounting groove 120 and is provided with a hook 250 for engaging with the board-end connector. The unlocking part 240 is connected to the latching part 230 and has the aforementioned second pull strap mounting hole 210. The pull strap 300 passes through the second pull strap mounting hole 210 so that when the pull strap 300 is pulled, the unlocking part 240 is pulled, causing the latching part 230 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby separating the hook 250 on the latching part 230 from the board-end connector, realizing the disassembly of the wire-end connector 10 from the board-end connector.

[0029] Furthermore, the locking part 230 is U-shaped, with one side of the locking part 230 engaging with the base 130, and the other side of the locking part 230 being connected to the unlocking part 240 and provided with the aforementioned hook 250.

[0030] Furthermore, a mounting plate 231 is provided on the side of the locking part 230 near the unlocking part 240, and a stop 132 is provided on the base 130 corresponding to the position where the mounting plate 231 is provided. When the pull strap 300 is not pulled, the mounting plate 231 abuts against the stop 132, thereby preventing the locking part 230 from sliding out of the mounting groove 120.

[0031] Optionally, the number of locking parts 230 can be multiple, and the multiple locking parts 230 are arranged in parallel at intervals, for example in... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this design, there are two locking parts 230, arranged in parallel and spaced apart. Unlocking parts 240 are connected to both locking parts 230 respectively. Correspondingly, there are also two mounting slots 120 on the base 130. The locking parts 230 are positioned within the corresponding mounting slots 120 and engage with the base 130, ensuring that the two locking parts 230 are properly engaged within the mounting slots 120. This facilitates the stamping of the mounting slots 120, ensuring stable production quality and high production efficiency. It also saves material used in manufacturing the elastic lock 200, making it lighter and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0032] Optionally, the unlocking part 240 includes a connecting piece 241 and an unlocking piece 242. The connecting piece 241 is bent and connected to the locking part 230 and the unlocking piece 242 respectively. The unlocking piece 242 has the aforementioned second pull strap mounting hole 210.

[0033] Furthermore, the unlocking piece 242 is provided with the aforementioned reinforcing rib 220 on the side away from the connecting piece 241, that is, the unlocking piece 242 is provided with the reinforcing rib 220 above the second pull strap mounting hole 210, so as to improve the rigidity of the unlocking piece 242 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210, and prevent the unlocking piece 242 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210 from deforming or breaking during the pulling of the pull strap, thereby improving the service life of the elastic buckle 200.

[0034] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib 220 is formed by the unlocking piece 242 being rolled away from the base 130, that is, the side of the unlocking piece 242 away from the connecting piece 241 is rolled counterclockwise to form the reinforcing rib 220. The reinforcing rib 220 can increase the contact area between the unlocking piece 242 and the pull strap 300, thereby making it easier for the locking part 230 to deform when the pull strap 300 is pulled, which facilitates the separation of the locking part 230 from the board end connector, that is, facilitates the separation of the wire end connector 10 from the board end connector.

[0035] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the reinforcing rib 220 may also be formed by the unlocking piece 242 protruding in a direction away from and / or close to the base 130, so as to increase the thickness of the unlocking piece 242 at the position above the second pull strap mounting hole 210, thereby improving the rigidity of the unlocking piece 242 at the position close to the second pull strap mounting hole 210.

[0036] Optionally, the length of the reinforcing rib 220 is greater than or equal to the length of the second pull strap mounting hole 210, and a reinforcing rib 220 is provided above each of the second pull strap mounting holes 210.

[0037] Furthermore, the unlocking piece 242 is provided with a rolled edge structure 245 on the outer edge of the second pull strap mounting hole 210. After the pull strap 300 passes through the second pull strap mounting hole 210, it smoothly abuts against the rolled edge structure 245. Therefore, during the process of pulling the pull strap 300, the rolled edge structure 245 will not damage the pull strap 300, thereby improving the service life of the pull strap 300 and indirectly improving the service life of the wire end connector 10.

[0038] exist Figure 3 In the middle, the rolled edge structure 245 is a slanted U-shape, and the bottom end of the slanted U-shape smoothly abuts against the pull belt 300 to prevent the pull belt 300 from being scratched during the pulling process.

[0039] This application also provides a connector, which includes a board-end connector and a wire-end connector 10 as described above. The wire-end connector 10 is detachably snapped onto the board-end connector 10 via a locking part 230. When it is necessary to separate the wire-end connector 10, simply pull the pull strap 300 to cause the locking part 230 to elastically deform, and the hook 250 on the locking part 230 will disengage from the board-end connector, thereby pulling the wire-end connector 10 out of the board-end connector.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the elastic latch 200 in the wire connector 10 provided in this application is provided with a reinforcing rib 220 on the side near the second pull strap mounting hole 210, thereby improving the rigidity of the elastic latch 200 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210 and preventing deformation or breakage of the elastic latch 200 near the second pull strap mounting hole 210 during the pulling of the pull strap, so as to improve the service life of the elastic latch 200.

Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
