Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a socket connection intended to come and engage on the edge of a printed circuit board with contacts intended to take elastic support on the part and on the other side of the card to establish a direct connection with conductive connection pads of this menu.
  • the invention relates in particular to a socket connection of an accessory to be connected directly to the circuit board of a mobile phone, this phone mobile not having on its connector base input / output but a printed circuit (usually soldered to the input / output connector) directly accessible for connection to an external accessory or sheet.
  • document EP 0 036 933 describes a connector comprising a base without contacts intended to be fixed on the edge of the printed circuit board, this base having an opening for receiving a plug comprising two parallel rows of contact elements spaced by a recess, and intended to support elastically on either side of the map to establish a direct connection with beaches card connection conductors, after insertion of the plug in the opening of the base, elements elastic being provided to be compressed by the base and thus support the contact elements on the pads contact card.
  • the major technical problem posed with this type of application relates to degradation, or even destruction of the pins by the strongly edges abrasives of the printed circuit at the time of insertion, which has the effect of considerably limiting the number of connection / disconnection operations.
  • a second problem is to ensure a pressure of sufficient contact between the accessory contacts and the connection areas of the printed circuit.
  • the object of the invention is precisely to solve the two problems above.
  • the plug contacts do not rub on the outer edges of the map, when the engagement of the plug in the socket.
  • the friction on the connection pads is very limited.
  • the contacts are supported elastically on the connection areas of the card only when the plug is almost completely engaged on the edge of the card, without degradation of contacts when inserting the plug into the socket.
  • the base and the plug include means complementary to lock them together at the end of stroke for inserting the plug into the socket.
  • connection socket intended to engage on the edge 2 of a printed circuit board 1 has contacts 3, 4 intended to bear elastically on either side of card 1 to establish a direct connection with conductive pads of connection 5 of this card.
  • the socket comprises a base 6 devoid of contacts intended to be fixed on the printed circuit board 1 by lugs hook 20 (fittings).
  • This base 6 includes a opening 7 to receive a card 8 comprising two parallel rows of elastic contacts 3, 4 intended to be supported on the conductive pads 5, after insertion of plug 8 into opening 7 of base 6.
  • one 3 rows of contacts is carried by a first flexible part 9 of the plug 8 which can engage in the opening 7 of the base 6.
  • the other row of contacts 4 is carried by a second part 10 of sheet 8 separated from the first part 9 by a recess 11 and can engage under edge 2 of the circuit board printed 1.
  • the base 6 and the plug 8 include additional resources for lock together at the end of the insertion stroke of plug 8 in socket 6.
  • the means to move plug 8 upwards when insertion in the base 6 include two ramps risers 12 located inside the base 6 and protruding above a plane passing through the edge lower 13 of the opening 7 for inserting the plug 8 in the base 6. These ramps 12 cooperate with the end 14a of two guide beams 14 arranged on either side of flexible part 9 of sheet 8 to move it up.
  • Figure 4 also shows that the ramps 12 are located at a certain distance d from the edge lower 13 of the opening 7 for inserting the plug 8 in base 6.
  • the two ramps 12 are each located near a side edge 15 of the opening 7 for introducing sheet 8.
  • Means for bending down the flexible part 9 of the plug 8 during its insertion in the base 6 include two descending ramps 16 (see Figure 4) located inside the base 6 and protruding below a plane passing through the edge upper 17 of the opening 7 for inserting the plug 8. These ramps 16 cooperate with the end 9a of the flexible part 9 of the plug to bend it towards the bottom.
  • Additional means to lock together the base 6 and the plug 8 include a spout latching 18 (see Figures 2 and 3) formed on the upper side and near the end 9a of the part flexible 9 of the plug 8 cooperating with a lamella flexible 19 (see FIG. 4) formed in the base 6.
  • connection socket that we have just described works as follows:
  • the lower row 4 of contacts rests elastically on the ranges of connection 5 provided on the underside of the card.
  • the spout 18 located at the front of the flexible part 9 of the plug 8 snaps onto the end of the strip 19 located inside the base 6, thereby locking the plug 8 of the base 6.
