The connector allows rigid alignment between pin arrays as a part of the connector moves slightly in the left-right or front-rear direction depending on the degree of engagement between corresponding pins when coupled to a counterpart connector.
Claims15
A connector, comprising:
- a pin array assembly with connector pins arranged;
- a base mold on which a lower end of the pin array assembly is mounted and supported;
- a top mold in which a middle portion of the pin array assembly is inserted and supported;
- and
- a fastening means configured to couple the base mold to the top mold, and to support rigid alignment by relatively moving the top mold with respect to the base mold according to a degree of engagement between corresponding pins when the connector is coupled to a counterpart connector,
- wherein the fastening means comprises:
- a rigid fastening part formed to protrude in a vertical direction from a side of one of the base mold and the top mold;
- and
- a rigid insertion part formed wider than a cross-sectional length of the rigid fastening part on a side of a remaining one of the base mold and the top mold for the rigid fastening part to be inserted and fastened.
