The existing FPC connectors do not provide sufficient clamping force for the ribbon cable. When the ribbon cable is pulled by external force, the cover is easily flipped outward, causing the FPC to detach from the FFC and resulting in poor contact.
A connector with a flip-out interference structure is designed, including an insulating body, a flip cover and conductive terminals. The flip-out interference structure is formed by positioning blocks, interference components and snap-fit structures to ensure that the FPC cable is stably fixed when the flip cover is rotated and installed, and electromagnetic shielding is achieved by grounding plates.
It improves the stability of the connector, prevents the cover from being accidentally opened, ensures stable contact between the FPC cable and the conductive terminals, reduces loosening and poor contact caused by external forces, and enhances the reliability of the electrical connection.
