AI Technical Summary
Existing FPC connectors are prone to flipping over on their own under external vibrations, causing the gold fingers to loosen and the terminals to not make good contact, thus failing to continuously clamp the FPC flexible board.
Design a self-locking FPC connector. By setting a first fixing block, a second connecting block, a spiral spring, and a locking block, the connector achieves self-locking, ensuring that the gold fingers are always pressed tightly on the connector. The stability is enhanced by limiting blocks and anti-slip sleeves.
It effectively prevents the gold fingers from loosening due to vibration, ensures good continuous contact with the terminals, and improves connection stability and reliability.
