Abstract
The present disclosure provides a board-end connector for flexible connection with a PCB. According to the present disclosure, a board-end connector is provided. The board-end connector comprises: an insulating housing with openings at both ends; a locknut, to be used for mated installation with a first end of the insulating housing; and a cover, to be used for mated installation with a second end of the insulating housing by insertion, wherein the cover is configured to receive a first terminal having a soldering tail end and, the cover and the second end of the insulating housing, after the mated installation, are capable of sliding axially and being limited within a predetermined spatial range.

A board-end connector comprising:
- an insulating housing defining openings at a first end and a second end;
- a locknut configured to be used for mated installation with the first end of the insulating housing;
- and
- a cover configured to be used for mated installation with the second end of the insulating housing by insertion, wherein the cover is configured to receive a first terminal comprising a soldering tail end, and wherein the cover and the second end of the insulating housing, after the mated installation, are configured to slide axially limited within a predetermined spatial range;
- and
- wherein the second end of the insulating housing is provided with an annular boss, wherein a first limiting structure is disposed at an inner side of the cover and a mating second limiting structure is disposed at an outer side of the annular boss, and wherein, after the cover is sleeved and mounted onto the annular boss, a physical interference of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure prevents the cover from disengaging from the annular boss.
A photovoltaic inverting device, the device comprising:
- a device case;
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- and
- a board-end connector comprising:
- an insulating housing defining openings at a first end and a second end;
- a locknut configured to be used for mated installation with the first end of the insulating housing;
- and
- a cover configured to be used for mated installation with the second end of the insulating housing by insertion, wherein the cover is configured to receive a first terminal comprising a soldering tail end, and wherein the cover and the second end of the insulating housing, after the mated installation, are configured to slide axially limited within a predetermined spatial range;
- wherein, the PCB is configured to be positioned inside the device case, and wherein the soldering tail end of the first terminal of the board-end connector is configured to be soldered onto the PCB and the insulating housing of the board-end connector is configured to be mounted onto a panel of the device case;
- and
- wherein the second end of the insulating housing is provided with an annular boss, wherein a first limiting structure is disposed at an inner side of the cover and a mating second limiting structure is disposed at an outer side of the annular boss, and wherein, after the cover is sleeved and mounted onto the annular boss, a physical interference of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure prevents the cover from disengaging from the annular boss.
A board-end connector comprising:
- an insulating housing defining openings at a first end and a second end;
- a locknut configured to be used for mated installation with the first end of the insulating housing;
- and
- a cover configured to be used for mated installation with the second end of the insulating housing by insertion, wherein the cover is configured to receive a first terminal comprising a soldering tail end, and wherein the cover and the second end of the insulating housing, after the mated installation, are configured to slide axially limited within a predetermined spatial range;
- and
- wherein the soldering tail end of the first terminal is flat shaped, wherein the soldering tail end of the first terminal is larger in width than an insertion body of the first terminal, wherein the cover is provided with a terminal socket in a middle of the cover, and wherein the terminal socket is provided with a pin guiding and limiting structure therein configured to assist in installation guide of the insertion body of the first terminal and to limit an insertion depth of the soldering tail end of the first terminal.
