[0058] Through the arrangement, the convenience of soldering sheet installation and the stability of the connection with the base are further considered.

[0059] The soldering sheet 4 is provided with a stop protrusion 44, which limits the rotation of the lock body 31 to the first locking position when the lock body 31 is in the first active position.

[0060] Through the arrangement, the lock can be prevented from rotating to the first locking position in a state where the electronic board cable is not locked. The soldering sheet is a hardware, and the base is a plastic part. When locking is required, the user applies an external force to make the lock body pass the stop protrusion to reach the first locking position or the stop protrusion is pressed on the side end of the lock body and reaches the first locking position. In this embodiment, it is specifically in the form of passing the stop protrusion.

The stop protrusion 44 is located in the stop recess 311 when the lock body 31 is in the first locking position.

[0062] Through the arrangement, the lock body is not easy to rotate in the first locking position state. The front end of the limiting protrusion is defined as the end close to the first locking position in the rotation direction from the first active position to the first locking position.

[0063] The opposite inner walls of the two first recesses 103 in the X direction of the base 1 form limiting in the axial direction of the lock 3.

[0064] Through the arrangement, in the installation process, the first recess forms axial positioning of the lock, which improves the portability of assembly and the accuracy of installation, and in the use process, the lock is connected between the soldering sheet and the base more stably and is not easy to produce displacement in the axial direction.

[0065] Meanwhile, the entrance of the first groove 103 is provided with a chamfer, which is not easy to wear the lock catch convex shaft, and can guide the lock catch convex shaft into the first groove during installation.

[0066] The above only discloses the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and of course cannot limit the scope of the utility model, therefore, the equivalent changes made according to the utility model claim still belong to the range covered by the utility model.
