The connecting plate is connected to the rear of the insulating body, and the gripping plate is suspended above the insulating body.

[0008] In addition, the surface mount pin header male connector that facilitates automated production according to the above-described technical solution of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features: Optionally, the insulating body has interlocking portions on both sides.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom of the insulating body where the right-angle terminal is assembled is provided with a plurality of grooves, so that the right-angle terminal is locked in the grooves.

[0010] Optionally, the insulating body is provided with side connectors on both sides, and the bottom surface of the side connectors is provided with an electrical connection plate.

[0011] Optionally, the right-angled bottom surface of the right-angled terminal is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the electrical connection plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the product is equipped with a right-angle gripping cap that is easy for mechanical gripping during the production process, and the robotic arm or solenoid valve vacuum suction tube can easily grip and transport it, thereby realizing the automation of the entire production process, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or components / elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0016] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a surface mount pin header male connector that facilitates automated production according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a surface mount pin header male connector that facilitates automated production, provided by one embodiment of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a front view of a surface mount pin header male connector that facilitates automated production, provided by another embodiment of this utility model (with the right-angle gripping cap removed). Figure 3This is a top view (with the right-angle gripping cap removed) of a surface mount pin header male connector that facilitates automated production, provided by another embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1-3 As shown, this surface mount pin header male connector, which is convenient for automated production, includes: an insulating body 1, a row of mounting through holes in the middle of the insulating body 1, and right-angle terminals 2 respectively mounted in the mounting through holes; a right-angle gripping cap 3 is connected to the rear of the insulating body 1; wherein, the right-angle gripping cap 3 is composed of a connecting plate 31 and a gripping plate 32; the connecting plate 31 and the gripping plate 32 are perpendicularly connected to each other, the connecting plate 31 is connected to the rear of the insulating body 1, and the gripping plate 32 is suspended above the insulating body 1.

[0018] Specifically, in the production of this surface mount pin header male connector, which facilitates automated production, the insulating body 1 is first placed upside down on the production line. The machine tool controls the insertion of the right-angle terminal 2 into the insulating body 1 being transported on the production line. Then, at the next station, the insulating body 1 is flipped over. Since the insulating body 1 can be directly injection molded with the right-angle gripper cap 3 in one step, or the right-angle gripper cap 3 can be pre-attached to the insulating body 1 through a thermoforming process, the machine tool can move it above the right-angle gripper cap 3 using a robotic arm or a vacuum suction tube controlled by a solenoid valve. The robotic arm grasps the right-angle gripper cap 3, or the vacuum suction tube holds the right-angle gripper cap 3, thereby lifting the entire product and moving it to the next station. The next station can be a cutting station, where the gripper plate 32 or the entire right-angle gripper cap 3 is cut off using a cutting blade, exposing the inner right-angle terminal 2. The next station can be for image quality inspection. After passing the inspection, the image can be placed into a carrier belt or tray using the same method, and then packaged and shipped.

[0019] According to this utility model, the surface mount pin header male head facilitates automated production. The product has a right-angle gripping cap that is easy for mechanical gripping during the production process. The robotic arm or solenoid valve vacuum suction tube can easily grip and transport the product, thereby realizing the automation of the entire production process, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the insulating body 1 is provided with interlocking portions 11 on both sides.

[0021] Specifically, when the insert 11 is used to connect to the female connector of the product, the part corresponding to the insertion into the female connector has a "foolproof" protection structure.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of grooves 12 are provided at the bottom of the insulating body 1 where the right-angle terminal 2 is assembled, so that the right-angle terminal 2 is locked in the grooves 12.

[0023] Specifically, the groove 12 can reduce the longitudinal dimension of the male connector and limit the position of the right-angle terminal 2 to ensure the correct position of the terminal.

[0024] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the insulating body 1 is provided with side connectors 13 on both sides, and the bottom surface of the side connectors 13 is provided with an electrical connection plate 131.

[0025] Specifically, in addition to the right-angle terminal 2 which can be surface-mounted, this product can also be surface-mounted using electrical connection plates 131 on both sides. Furthermore, as... Figure 1-3 As shown, a conductor can also be provided above the side connector 13. This conductor and the electrical connection plate 131 are integral parts or electrically connected to each other. The lower electrical connection plate 131 and the right-angle terminal 2 are surface-mounted to connect to the circuit board, and the upper conductor connects to another circuit board.

[0026] Figure 4 This is a mounting position diagram of a surface mount pin header male connector, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, which facilitates automated production. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the dashed line represents the outline of the product viewed from below, and the section with the cross-section line is the part of the circuit board where surface mounting is performed.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the right-angled bottom surface of the right-angled terminal 2 and the bottom surface of the electrical connection plate 131 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0028] Specifically, the right-angle terminal 2 and the electrical connection plate 131 are on the same horizontal plane, which can ensure the reliable execution of the surface mount process and prevent welding failures such as poor soldering after mounting.

[0029] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this application. In addition, this application can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this application are within the protection scope of this application.
