Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a mating opening for a connector, and in particular to a locking mechanism for a stacking connector that is suitable for preventing the stacking connector from being pulled out and preventing the stacking connector from being partially inserted. .

[Conventional technology]

The conventional connector locking mechanism was developed by Utility Model Publication No. 60-14557.
As described in Publication No. 1, the lock opening/closing direction was the same as the connector mating direction.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology has a problem in that when electronic circuit packages are stacked, the lock opening/closing mechanism section is hidden behind the electronic circuit package, making it impossible to open and close the lock mechanism.

An object of the present invention is to enable lock opening/closing operations even in a method for stacking electronic circuit packages.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object is achieved by making it possible to open and close the lock from a direction perpendicular to the connector mating direction.

[For production]

The stacking connectors mounted on the two electronic circuit packages (upper and lower) are connected properly for the first time.
A constant dimension between connectors can be obtained.

Utilizing this constant dimension between the connectors in the normally mated state, the protrusion of the locking mechanism enters the groove part previously provided in the upper and lower stacking connectors between the upper and lower electronic circuit packages.

In addition, the lock can be opened and closed between the two upper and lower electronic circuit packages by locking the hook made of an elastic material so as to wrap around the stacking connector so that the protrusion of the locking mechanism does not come off.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows stacking connectors 2, 2' mounted on electronic circuit packages 1, 1', and grooves 3.degree. 3' are provided in the stacking connectors 2, 2'.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention;
The figure shows the A view of FIG. 2, and shows the electronic circuit package 1.
, 1' are stacked and the stacking connectors 2, 2' are pressed together.

In FIG. 4, when the stacking connectors 2 and 2' are properly mated, the distance between the grooves 3 and 3' becomes a constant dimension a, which is the same as the dimension a into which the protrusion 9 fits, and the stacking connectors 2 and 2' is locked by the protrusion 9,
The catch pawl 8 wraps around the stacking connectors 2, 2' and the locking mechanism is locked. In case of unlocking,
By pushing the elastic plate 7 inward, the hooking pawl 9 is released.
The locking mechanism can be removed.

According to this embodiment, even if the electronic circuit package is large and the lock mechanism is hidden, the lock can be opened and closed easily.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, locking can be performed between stacked electronic circuit packages, so the lock can be opened and closed regardless of the size of the electronic circuit package, and the lock cannot be locked when the stacking connector is partially inserted. Since there is no such thing, it also has the effect of preventing half-insertion.
