Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector manufacturing technology, and in particular to a split-type IDC connector. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, various electronic devices are becoming increasingly miniaturized and integrated, placing higher demands on internal connectors. IDC connectors, as a highly efficient and reliable electrical connection method, are widely used in communications, computers, industrial control, automotive electronics, home appliances, and many other fields due to their ability to quickly establish electrical connections between wires and terminals without stripping wires.
[0003] In existing technology, IDC connectors typically consist of two main parts: a base and an insulating base. The base serves as the basic structure for fixing the terminals and guiding the insertion of wires, while the insulating base is responsible for applying pressure after the wires are inserted, ensuring a stable electrical connection between the terminals and the wires.
[0004] However, most IDC connectors on the market today use a one-piece manufacturing process for their insulating bases. This means the entire insulating base is a single, integrated structure with multiple slots or channels for fixing and crimping terminals. However, if any part of the insulating base becomes worn or deformed, due to its integrated nature, repair personnel have to replace the entire insulating base as a whole, increasing repair costs.
[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a split-type IDC connector is provided, including a base 10, a bracket 20, and an insulating base. The bracket 20 is disposed on the base 10.
[0038] The insulating base includes a first base 30 and two sets of second bases 40. The first base 30 is disposed on the bracket 20, and a first connecting part 11 for engaging connection is provided between the first base 30 and the base 10. The two sets of second bases 40 are symmetrically disposed at both ends of the first base 30, the second bases 40 are located on the base 10, and a second connecting part 12 for engaging connection is provided between the second bases 40 and the base 10.
[0039] By adopting a split-type design for the insulating base, when a part of the insulating base is worn or deformed, only the damaged first base 30 or the second base 40 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire insulating base, thus reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the first base 30 and the second base 40 are combined through the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 with the same structure, ensuring that each module can be disassembled independently, effectively shortening the repair time and further reducing maintenance costs.
[0040] Preferably, the first connecting part 11 is disposed inside the second connecting part 12. Both the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 are integrally formed with the base 10. This integral forming of the connecting parts with the base 10 avoids the loosening or detachment problems that may occur with separate connections, thus improving the structural stability of the base 10.
[0041] Furthermore, the first base 30 has first insertion cavities 31 at both ends for the first connecting part 11 to be inserted. A first fixing part is provided between the first connecting part 11 and the first insertion cavity 31. The top of the first insertion cavity 31 has a first protruding boss 32. In this embodiment, the first fixing part is a horizontal platform located outside the first insertion cavity 31, ensuring that the first connecting part 11 and the first insertion cavity 31 fit tightly together, improving the connection stability between the two. At the same time, by providing the first boss 32, it also locks the inner side of the top of the fixing frame 21 of the bracket 20, preventing the bracket 20 from easily detaching from the first insertion cavity 31, thus improving the connection stability between the two.
[0042] Furthermore, the first protrusion 32 has a trapezoidal structure. The top of the first protrusion 32 is provided with a first contact surface, and the bottom of the first protrusion 32 is provided with a first inclined surface. By setting the first contact surface and the first inclined surface, and by guiding the inclined surface, the fixing frame 21 of the bracket 20 can smoothly slide along the inclined surface to the limit position of the first insertion cavity 31, effectively avoiding the interference and jamming problems that may be caused by the traditional right-angle structure. At the same time, the first protrusion 32 forms a vertical abutment with the inner side of the fixing frame 21 of the bracket 20 through the first contact surface, realizing the locking function of the bracket 20, preventing the bracket 20 from easily detaching from the first insertion cavity 31, and improving the connection stability between the two.
[0043] Furthermore, the second base 40 has a limiting part 46 at its bottom end near the first base 30 for limiting the first base 30. The limiting part 46 has a "J"-shaped or "L"-shaped structure. The second base 40 has a second insertion cavity 41 at its end away from the first base 30 for the second connecting part 12 to be inserted. A second fixing part is provided between the second connecting part 12 and the second insertion cavity 41. In this embodiment, the second fixing part is a horizontal platform located outside the second insertion cavity 41, ensuring a tight fit between the second connecting part 12 and the second insertion cavity 41, improving the connection stability between them. Simultaneously, by providing the limiting part 46, after the first base 30 and the second base 40 are installed, they form an integral structure through the limiting part 46, avoiding the phenomenon of loosening of a single module of the first base 30 or the second base 40, further improving the overall structural stability of the insulating base.
[0044] Preferably, the bracket 20 has upwardly protruding fixing frames 21 at both ends, and the fixing frames 21 have a hollow structure inside. The fixing frames 21 are inserted into one end of the first base 30, and the fixing frames 21 are located between the first base 30 and the first connecting part 11. By setting the fixing frames 21, the first base 30 is fixed by the fixing frames 21, thereby improving the stability of the first base 30 on the base 10.
[0045] Furthermore, the bracket 20 is provided with multiple sets of equally spaced wire grooves 22, and a first wiring cavity 231 for fixing the wires is formed between the multiple sets of wire grooves 22 and the first base 30. A second wiring cavity 232 for the wires to pass through is provided between the bottom end of the bracket 20 and the base 10. The bottom end of the base 10 is provided with multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 24. By setting the first wiring cavity 231 and the second wiring cavity 232, the wires can be neatly arranged in them, improving the management effect of the wires. At the same time, the heat dissipation performance of the connector is enhanced by setting the heat dissipation holes 24.
[0046] Preferably, a limiting boss 33 is provided on the outer side of the first base 30. The first base 30 is provided with multiple sets of arrayed first mounting holes 34, and a first terminal 35 is provided in the first mounting holes 34.
[0047] The second base 40 has multiple arrayed second mounting holes 42. Second terminals 43 are located within the second mounting holes 42. Positioning posts 13 are provided between the second terminals 43 and the base 10. By providing positioning posts 13, the second terminals 43 can be quickly installed, improving installation efficiency and stability on the base 10. Simultaneously, the first base 30 has limiting bosses 33 to facilitate quick docking between the first base 30 and the connecting female, further improving installation efficiency.
[0048] Preferably, the structure of the first connecting part 11 is the same as that of the second connecting part 12, so only the first connecting part 11 will be described in detail. The first connecting part 11 includes a first connecting rod 111 and a first hook 112. The first connecting rod 111 is disposed on the base 10. The first hook 112 is disposed at the top of the first connecting rod 111 to form a "J"-shaped structure. By setting the structure of the first connecting part 11 with the second connecting part 12 with the "J"-shaped structure, the connection strength between the first connecting part 11 and the first base 30, and between the second connecting part 12 and the second base 40, is enhanced.
[0049] Preferably, the first base 30 has an inclined second slope 36 on its side near the top of the second base 40. The second base 40 has a corresponding abutment block 45 on one side. When both the first base 30 and the second base 40 are fixed to the base 10, the side of the abutment block 45 abuts against the second slope 36. By providing the second upper and the abutment block 45, a limiting structure is formed between them. The inner side of the second base 40 limits and fixes both ends of the first base 30, enhancing the structural stability between the first base 30 and the second base 40.
[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
