Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a lightweight flexible terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, many electronic product components require increasingly higher performance, smaller size, and lighter weight. As electronic connectors, the connection terminals must also adapt to this development. While ensuring the reliability of electrical connections, they must be miniaturized and lightweight. However, due to space constraints, miniaturization is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a terminal that can meet the requirements of electrical connection in limited and complex spaces. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightweight flexible terminal that, by setting a conductive connector to connect the metal shielding shell and the external mounting panel, can effectively form a full-angle shielding effect, effectively resist electromagnetic interference, and at the same time meet the requirements of high voltage and high current use; in addition, the metal shielding shell can also effectively avoid damage caused by physical collision.

[0004] A lightweight flexible terminal includes: a first wiring portion, a second wiring portion, and a connecting portion; both the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion are connected to FPC cables, one end of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the first wiring portion, the other end of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the second wiring portion, and the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion are located on different planes.

[0005] Furthermore, the connecting portion includes a first connecting end, a second connecting end, and a third connecting end. One end of the second connecting end is fixedly connected to the first connecting end, and the other end is connected to the third connecting end.

One end of the connecting portion 3 is fixedly connected to the first wiring portion 1, and the other end of the connecting portion 3 is fixedly connected to the second wiring portion 2. The first wiring portion 1 and the second wiring portion 2 are located on different planes.

[0025] This invention connects the FPC cable 4 to the first wiring portion 1 and the second wiring portion 2, making the terminal flexible, allowing it to be bent and folded at will, thus making the terminal suitable for installation in complex spatial environments.

More preferably, there are several fixed conductive portions 12 located on one side of the support portion 11, and these fixed conductive portions 12 are spaced apart, thus increasing the conduction area between the fixed conductive portions 12 and the FPC cable 4. The fixed conductive portions 12 located on both sides of the support portion 11 are staggered or symmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, there are two fixed conductive portions 12 located on one side of the support portion 11.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower end face of the support portion 11 is provided with a groove for positioning and fixing the terminal during processing.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper surface of the support portion 11 is provided with a protrusion to increase the friction between the support portion 11 and the FPC cable 4, thereby better fixing the FPC cable 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the second wiring portion 2 includes a conductive portion 21 and a snap-fit ​​portion 22 disposed on the upper end of the conductive portion 21. The FPC cable 4 is fixed to the conductive portion 21, and the snap-fit ​​portion 22 is used to better fix the terminal after it is inserted into the socket, preventing the terminal from retracting. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​portion 22 is a spring piece integrally formed with the conductive portion 21.

[0032] Furthermore, the guide portion 21 includes a hollow frame 211 and a clamping mechanism 212 disposed within the hollow frame 211.
