Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A female header connector (also known as a female connector or female busbar connector) is a type of connector commonly used in electronic and electrical equipment, typically for connecting different circuits or electronic components. It is a type of connector used to achieve electrical or signal transmission. Female header connectors are used in conjunction with male plugs to provide a stable connection and easy disconnection.

[0003] In the existing female connector, after installation, the pin header is inserted into the socket and connected to the connecting component in the main body. The connection between the two is secured by a fastening section at the top of the connecting component. However, due to metal fatigue during use, the connection between the two may loosen. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of female connector.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel female connector includes a body with multiple sets of sockets. A connecting component is installed in each socket. Protective components are provided on both sides of the socket facing the connecting component. Each protective component includes a boss fixed on the body. A slot is formed in the boss. A support shaft is installed in the slot. A roller is rotatably connected to the outside of the support shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the roller is smaller than the diameter of the slot, and the outer side of the roller is located in the middle of one side wall of the boss.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting piece and a fastening section, with the fastening section located above the connecting piece.

[0009] Preferably, the fastening section has an inclined structure, and the back end of the fastening section faces the roller.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the connecting piece is provided with an external piece, and the external piece is located outside the body.

[0011] Preferably, the outer piece, the connecting piece, and the fastening section are made of the same material.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting piece structure is adapted to the socket structure.

[0013] Preferably, the outer piece is horizontally connected to the connecting piece, and the connection between the connecting piece and the body has a sealing structure.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this technology are:

[0015] By setting up a protective component, when the pin header and the female connector are connected, the pin header contacts the fastening section. At this time, the fastening section deforms under force and contacts the roller in the boss. When the roller contacts, it rotates along the support shaft in the slot through friction, thus ensuring smoother insertion of the pin header. After insertion, the roller applies pressure to the fastening section, so that the fastening section tightly locks the pin header, thereby making the connection between the two tighter and improving the stability of the connection.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a novel pin header connector, including a body 1. The body 1 has multiple sets of sockets 2. A connecting component 3 is installed in the body 1 through the sockets 2. The connecting component 3 is installed in the sockets 2. Protective components 4 are provided on both sides of the sockets 2 facing the connecting component 3. The protective components 4 include a boss 401 fixed on the body 1. The boss 401 can support the support shaft 403. A slot 402 is provided in the boss 401 to facilitate the rotation of the roller 404. The support shaft 403 is installed in the slot 402 and can support the roller 404. The roller 404 is rotatably connected to the outside of the support shaft 403. When the roller 404 contacts, it rotates along the support shaft 403 in the slot 402 through friction, thereby ensuring smoother insertion of the pin header. After insertion, the roller 404 applies pressure to the fastening section 302, thereby making the fastening section 302 tightly hold the pin header.

[0023] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the diameter of roller 404 is smaller than the diameter of slot 402, and the outer side of roller 404 is located in the middle of one side wall of boss 401, which facilitates contact between roller 404 and pin header.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the connecting component 3 includes a connecting piece 301 and a fastening section 302, with the fastening section 302 located above the connecting piece 301. The fastening section 302 can fasten the pin header, thereby facilitating the connection of the connecting component 3 to the pin header.

[0025] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the fastening section 302 has an inclined structure, and the back end of the fastening section 302 faces the roller 404, which can clamp the pin pack.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, an external connector 5 is provided at the bottom of the connecting piece 301, and the external connector 5 is located on the outside of the main body 1, so that the main body 1 can be connected to external devices through the external connector 5.

[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the outer piece 5, the connecting piece 301, and the fastening section 302 are made of the same material, which facilitates electrical conductivity through the connecting component 3 and the outer piece 5.

[0028] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the structure of the connecting piece 301 is adapted to the structure of the socket 2, so that the connecting piece 301 can be installed in the socket 2.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the external connector 5 is horizontally connected to the connector 301, and the connector 301 has a sealing structure at the connection point with the body 1, which can prevent external solder from entering the socket 2 during connection.

[0030] The working principle of this device is as follows: When using this device, the operator installs the connecting component 3 into the socket 2 and positions the external piece 5 at one end of the connecting component 3 on the outside of the main body 1. After installation, the external piece 5 is welded to the external device. After welding, the pin is connected to the main body 1 and inserted into the socket 2 on the main body 1. During insertion, the pin contacts the fastening section 302. At this time, the fastening section 302 deforms under force and contacts the roller 404 in the boss 401. When the roller 404 contacts, it rotates along the support shaft 403 in the slot 402 through friction, thereby ensuring smoother insertion of the pin. After insertion, the roller 404 applies pressure to the fastening section 302, thereby making the fastening section 302 tightly hold the pin, thus making the connection between the two tighter and improving the stability of the connection.

[0031] The above are merely further embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
