In addition, the first plugging portion 20 includes a first body portion 21 and a first protruding portion 22 protruding on the first body portion 21, and by setting the first protruding portion 22, the first plugging portion 20 can better abut against the circuit board assembly 210 when being plugged into the plugging hole 2121 of the circuit board assembly 210, so that the first plugging portion 20 is more firmly plugged into the circuit board assembly 210, and the electrical connector 100 is better electrically connected with the grounding pad 212 of the circuit board assembly 210. In addition, the electric connection connector is fixed by adopting a screw, if automatic assembly is to be realized, a larger space allowance is required around the grounding pad 212, otherwise, the circuit on the circuit board assembly 210 is easy to damage when the screw is assembled, and the electric connection connector is assembled by adopting a plug-in mode, and has no requirement on a reserved space on the circuit board assembly 210, so that a machine can be adopted for plug-in, automation is realized, and the assembly efficiency of the electric connection connector 100 is greatly improved.
Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, the housing 220 includes a first side wall 222 and a second side wall 223 disposed opposite to each other, the first side wall 222 has a first slot 2221 facing the accommodating cavity 221, the second side wall 223 has a second slot 2231 facing the accommodating cavity 221, and opposite ends of the circuit board assembly 210 are respectively inserted into the first slot 2221 and the second slot 2231.
It can be appreciated that the first card slot 2221 is disposed opposite to the second card slot 2231, and the first card slot 2221 and the second card slot 2231 are both communicated with the accommodating cavity 221.
Alternatively, the first card slot 2221 is parallel to the second card slot 2231, and both the first card slot 2221 and the second card slot 2231 extend along the extending direction of the housing 220.
When the electrical connector 100 is inserted into the plugging hole 2121 of the circuit board assembly 210 during assembly, at least a portion of the second electrical connection portion 30 protrudes out of the circuit board assembly 210, and when the circuit board assembly 210 is mounted on the housing 220, only the circuit board assembly 210 with the electrical connector 100 needs to be inserted into the first card slot 2221 and the second card slot 2231 from the opening of the housing cavity 221, and one end of the second electrical connection portion 30 close to the first electrical connection portion 10 is opposite to one end of the second electrical connection portion 30 facing away from the first electrical connection portion 10, compared with one end of the second electrical connection portion 30 facing away from the first electrical connection portion 10, into the housing cavity 221, and during the process of inserting the circuit board assembly 210 into the housing cavity 221, the second electrical connection portion 30 is extruded to be elastically deformed (bent) and always abuts against the first side wall 222 and the second side wall 223 under the elastic restoring force, so that the electrical connector 100 is always electrically connected with the housing 220.
In this embodiment, by providing the first card slot 2221 and the second card slot 2231 on the housing 220, opposite ends of the circuit board 211 are respectively disposed in the first card slot 2221 and the second card slot 2231, so that the circuit board assembly 210 can be fixed in the housing 220, the circuit board assembly 210 is prevented from shaking in the housing 220, and in addition, before the electrical connector 100 is assembled in the housing 220, the second electrical connection portion 30 protrudes out of the circuit board assembly 210, and the second electrical connection portion 30 can contact with the first side wall 222 or the second side wall 223 only by slightly having elasticity, thereby realizing the grounding effect. During assembly, the circuit board assembly 210 with the electric connector 100 is only required to be slightly pushed into the shell 220, so that the electric connection between the shell 220 and the electric connector 100 can be realized, manual screwing is not required, and the purpose of convenient and quick installation is achieved.
Optionally, the circuit board 211 further includes a grounding portion 213, where the grounding portion 213 has a through hole 2131, the through hole 2131 is located on a side of the circuit board 211 facing away from the plugging hole 2121, and the through hole 2131 is used to pass through the second plugging portion 40 of the other electrical connector 100, so that the grounding portion 213 is electrically connected to the second plugging portion 40.
Referring to fig. 11, an embodiment of the present application further provides an illumination apparatus 300, which includes an illumination light source 310 and the driving power supply 200 according to the embodiment of the present application, wherein the circuit board 211 of the driving power supply 200 is electrically connected to the illumination light source 310, and the driving power supply 200 is used for driving the illumination light source 310 to emit light.
Alternatively, the illumination source 310 may be, but is not limited to being, an LED lamp or the like.
Alternatively, the lighting device 300 may be, but is not limited to being, an LED lighting device 300 or the like.
