A plurality of locking components 14 pass through the fixing portion 16 of the connector 10 to be installed in the locking holes 18 of the support frame 12 . Generally speaking, the fixing portion 16 is made of non-conductive material, such as plastic, to isolate the transmission cable of the connector 10 from the metal supporting frame 12 to avoid noise interference. The connector 10 utilizes a grounding cable 20 to electrically connect the transmission cable and the support frame 12 (or the circuit board disposed on the support frame 12 ), so as to protect the electronic components connected to the connector 10 from being damaged by excessive static electricity. However, the conventional connector 10 needs to use an external tool to be detached from the support frame 12 . For example, the user uses a screwdriver to rotate the fixing portion 16 to install or detach the connector 10 to the support frame 12 . In addition, the grounding cable 20 of the conventional connector 10 takes up more space for component configuration. The two ends of the grounding cable 20 are respectively electrically connected to the connector 10 and the circuit board, and the middle section of the grounding cable 20 is folded for storage, so the conduction path for using the grounding cable 20 to remove excess charges is relatively long, which is likely to cause noise interference . Therefore, how to design a connector that can be disassembled without tools and has both convenient assembly and grounding performance is one of the development goals of the related electronics industry.

In this way, when the conductive limiting part 42' is fixed on the base 38, the limiting part 52 can contact the part of the bridging part 50 exposed through the opening structure 46, and establish a charge removal path from the cable 40 to the housing 32 to effectively Suppresses electromagnetic interference. In addition, two ends of the base 38 can respectively protrude a connecting portion 64 . Each connecting portion 64 is provided with a protrusion 66 for penetrating a locking hole (not shown in the figure) of the housing 32 to limit the movement of the base 38 relative to the housing 32 along the X direction and the Y direction. On the other hand, the limiting part 52 presses the bridging part 50 and engages with the housing 32, so the conductive limiting part 42' can limit the movement of the base 38 along the Z direction, so that the connector mechanism 36 can be stably installed on the housing. body 32.

At this time, the limiting portion 52 straddles the covering member 44 and is placed on the housing 32 . Next, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , the user applies force to the first segment 54 and the third segment 58 of the limiting portion 52 to bend and deform them to be engaged with the housing 32 , and the limiting portion 52 The stored elastic restoring force can drive the second section 56 to contact and press the partially exposed bridge portion 50 . Therefore, the conductive limiting member 42' not only fixes the base 38 to the housing 32 in a quick release manner, but also provides a grounding path for the cable 40 to eliminate excess charges, which can effectively improve the operation convenience and safety of the connector mechanism 36 sex.

Furthermore, the clamping structure 421 and the detachable structure 423 of the first embodiment of the present invention are separate components from the bridging portion 50 and the limiting portion 52 of the second embodiment, so as to facilitate quick disassembly and quick assembly. However, the bridging portion 50 and the limiting portion 52 (or the clamping structure 421 and the detachable structure 423) can also be integrally formed, for example: the limiting portion 52 can be connected to the surface of the bridging portion 50 opposite to the guide rod 60, Alternatively, the surface of the bridging portion 50 may extend a rod-like structure similar in shape to the limiting portion 52 . Any component that can have both the functions of grounding and fixing the base, not limited to a single component or a module/unit composed of multiple components, belongs to the design category of the conductive limiting member of the present invention.
