For the technical idea of the electrical connector of the present application, please refer to the embodiments of fig. 1 to 34 together.

In the embodiments shown in fig. 1 to 34, an electrical connector 1 is disclosed, wherein the electrical connector 1 is used with a circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is, for example, a circuit board, a flexible circuit board or a flexible flat cable. The electric connector 1 comprises an insulating rubber core 11, a conductive terminal 12, a holding piece 13 and an insulating cover 14.

As shown in fig. 7, 10, 15 and 17, opposite sides of the insulating core 11 are a main core side S1 and a sub core side S2, respectively. The insulating rubber core 11 comprises a rubber core inserting groove 111, a rubber core abutting arm positioning structure 112, a rubber core main side penetrating groove 113 and a rubber core secondary side penetrating groove 114, wherein the rubber core inserting groove 111 is provided with an inserting channel so that the circuit board 2 can be inserted into the electric connector 1 through the rubber core inserting groove 111.

In addition, it should be noted that the rubber core inserting groove 111 can provide a limit for the circuit board 2, so as to limit the position of the circuit board 2 on the insulating rubber core 11.

As shown in fig. 7, 10, 15 and 17, the conductive terminal 12 includes a terminal body 120, a terminal cover hooking arm 121, a first terminal abutting arm 122 and a second terminal abutting arm 123. The terminal body 120 is connected to the terminal cover hooking arm 121, the first terminal abutting arm 122 and the second terminal abutting arm 123 respectively to form a three-fork structure. The terminal cover hooking arm 121, the first terminal abutting arm 122 and the second terminal abutting arm 123 respectively include a terminal cover hooking structure 1211, a first terminal abutting structure 1221 and a second terminal abutting structure 1231. The terminal body 120 is embedded in the insulating rubber core 11, so that the terminal cover hooking arm 121 can enter the main side penetrating groove 113 of the rubber core, the first terminal abutting arm 122 and the second terminal abutting arm 123 can respectively enter the secondary side penetrating groove 114 of the rubber core, and the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 can respectively enter the plug-in groove 111 of the rubber core.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 7, 10, 15, 17 and 23 to 24, the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 is a C-shaped hooking structure and includes a hooking opening 12111, and the hooking opening 12111 can be used as a channel to allow the cover rotating shaft 141 to enter the terminal cover hooking structure 1211.

When the terminal body 120 is embedded in the insulating core 11, the terminal cover hooking arm 121 and the first terminal abutting arm 122 are respectively deformable cantilevers, and the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 and the first terminal abutting structure 1221 are respectively located at free ends of the terminal cover hooking arm 121 and the first terminal abutting arm 122, which are cantilevers, so that the terminal cover hooking arm 121 and the first terminal abutting arm 122 can be deformed, and positions of the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 and the first terminal abutting structure 1221 at the free ends can be adjusted.

As shown in fig. 6, 9, 14 and 18, the force-holding member 13 is engaged with the insulating rubber core 11, and the force-holding member 13 includes a force-holding member rotating shaft guiding structure 131 and a force-holding member rotating shaft supporting structure 132. In the above embodiment, the force-holding member 13 is a metal member, and can provide sufficient structural strength for the force-holding member rotation shaft guiding structure 131 and the force-holding member rotation shaft supporting structure 132 by the characteristics of the metal material.

As shown in fig. 6 to 7, 9 to 10, 14 to 15, and 17 to 18, the insulating cover 14 includes a cover rotating shaft 141, a cover crimping structure 142, and a cover hooking channel 143. The insulating cover 14 can be mounted on the insulating rubber core 11, so that the cover rotating shaft 141 is located between the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 and the force holding member 13, the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 can hook the cover rotating shaft 141, and the force holding member rotating shaft guiding structure 131 can guide the cover rotating shaft 141 to rotate, so that the insulating cover 14 can be in a non-pressure welding state NPS (non-PRESSING STATE) and a pressure welding state PS (pressing state) after being stressed.

It should be noted that, when the insulating cover 14 is mounted on the insulating rubber core 11, the force-holding member rotating shaft guiding structure 131 can also guide the cover rotating shaft 141 to move or rotate, so that the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 can hook the cover rotating shaft 141 via the cover hooking channel 143. In addition, as shown in fig. 7, 10, 15 and 17 to 18, when the insulating cover 14 is mounted on the insulating rubber core 11, the cover rotating shaft 141 faces the hooking opening 12111, so that the cover rotating shaft 141 can enter the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 through the hooking opening 12111, and the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 can hook the cover rotating shaft 141.

When the insulating cover 14 is in the non-pressure state NPS, the circuit board 2 can be inserted into the rubber core insertion groove 111.

When the insulating cover 14 is in the press-connection state PS, the force-holding member rotating shaft supporting structure 132 supports the cover rotating shaft 141, so that the cover rotating shaft 141 can push against the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 to force the terminal cover hooking arm 121 to deform in the main side deformation space 1130 of the rubber core, so as to adapt to the size of the circuit board 2 and adjust the position of the cover press-connection structure 142, and the cover press-connection structure 142 can press-connect the main side S1 of the rubber core into the circuit board 2 of the rubber core inserting groove 111.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 6 to 7 and 17 to 18, when the insulating cover 14 is in the press-connection state PS, the force-holder rotating shaft supporting structure 132 supports the cover rotating shaft 141 toward the hooking opening 12111, and at this time, the force-holder rotating shaft supporting structure 132 can stop the cover rotating shaft 141 from leaving the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 through the hooking opening 12111, so as to avoid an unexpected release of the state that the terminal cover hooking structure 1211 hooks the cover rotating shaft 141.

When the cover pressing structure 142 presses the circuit board 2, the circuit board 2 can push against the first terminal pressing structure 1221 to force the first terminal pressing arm 122 to deform in the glue core secondary side deformation space 1140, so as to adjust the position of the first terminal pressing structure 1221, the glue core pressing arm positioning structure 112 can position the second terminal pressing arm 123, so that the position of the second terminal pressing structure 1231 is in line with expectations, the first terminal pressing structure 1221 and the second terminal pressing structure 1231 can adapt to the size of the circuit board 2 and press against the circuit board 2 on the glue core secondary side S2 respectively, so that the conductive terminals 12 of the electrical connector 1 can provide a sufficient pressing area for pressing against the circuit board 2, and poor contact between the conductive terminals 12 of the electrical connector 1 and the circuit board 2 due to insufficient pressing area is avoided.

It should be noted that, since the first terminal abutting structure 1221 and the second terminal abutting structure 1231 can abut against the circuit board 2 respectively, the conductive terminal 12 and the circuit board 2 can form a signal transmission circuit to transmit an electrical signal or a power signal in an electronic device.
