Abstract

The invention provides an LVDS connector with lock and unlock structure, which can connect a flexible flat cable and a printed circuit board, and includes a first component and a second component. The first component can be connected to a flexible cable. The second component can be connected to the printed circuit board. When the plug-in provided by the first component moves toward the action slot of the second component, the plug-in drives the pull rod of the second component to rotate in the first rotation direction until the plug-in locks the first component; and when the pull rod is driven by an external force, it moves opposite to the first component. When a rotation direction is a second rotation direction, the plug-in is pushed away by the pull rod, so that the first component is separated from the second component.

Description

LVDS connector with lock and unlock structure

This creation is the technical field of a connector, especially an LVDS connector with a locking and unlocking structure.

The traditional LVDS connector is unlocked through the unlocking device located at the cable end, which requires a larger space for operation, and because it is located at the cable end, it is impossible to clearly determine whether it has been unlocked or is still in a locked state. If the unlocking is not completed, the cable is forcibly pulled out, causing the lock of the locking structure to be broken.

In view of this, the author proposes an LVDS connector with a locking and unlocking structure to solve the conventional defects.

The structure of automatic locking and automatic pop-up unlocking can be realized by the lever structure, which can be easily identified Locked and unlocked state, and then easily lock the flexible cable to the printed circuit board or the flexible cable is separated from the printed circuit board.

The third objective of the present creation is based on the above-mentioned LVDS connector with a locking and unlocking structure. A foolproof structure is provided between the first component and the second component, which can avoid errors during assembly.

The fourth objective of this creation is to provide a spring sheet for electrically connecting the flexible cable to increase the grounding area based on the above-mentioned LVDS connector with the locking and unlocking structure, so as to optimize the high frequency performance and improve the crosstalk problem.

In order to achieve the above objectives and other objectives, the present invention provides an LVDS connector with a locking and unlocking structure capable of connecting a flexible flat cable and a printed circuit board. The LVDS connector with locking and unlocking structure includes a first component and a second component. The first component can be connected to a flexible cable. The first component further includes a first shell, a first rubber core and a second shell. The first shell includes a first body, an elastic piece and a plurality of pins. The elastic sheet is formed on a surface of the first body to be able to contact the printed circuit board and the pins are formed on two sides of the first body. The first rubber core includes a third body, a plurality of sockets and a plurality of plug-ins. The third body is provided on the first body. The third body is formed to include the plugs and each of the jacks is formed in each of the plugs. The jacks correspond to the pin settings.
