Abstract
A PCB direct connector including terminal members configured to have a pair of contact portions elastically contacting an upper surface and a lower surface of the circuit board and be electrically connected to conductive patterns disposed on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface, and a connector housing configured to accommodate the terminal members therein and allow a connector connection portion formed at one side of an end of the circuit board to be fitted into and released from the connector housing.
Claims13
A printed circuit board (PCB) direct connector, wherein the PCB direct connector is directly mounted to a circuit board, the PCB direct connector comprising:
- a plurality of terminal members, each terminal member having a pair of contact portions configured to elastically contact an upper surface and a lower surface of the circuit board, respectively, such that the terminal member is electrically connected to conductive patterns disposed on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface;
- and
- a connector housing configured to accommodate the terminal members therein and to allow a portion of an end of the circuit board to be fitted into and released from the connector housing wherein the connector housing includes:
- a lower plate;
- and
- a first upper plate;
- a second upper plate, wherein front portions of the first and second upper plates are spaced apart from the lower plate by at least a thickness of the circuit board so that the portion of the end of the circuit board is capable of being inserted between the lower plate and the first and second upper plates to a predetermined depth;
- and
- a latch positioned on an upper surface of the lower plate and between the first upper plate and the second upper plate.
