Abstract
A connector system with multiple groove structures includes a connector fixable to a circuit board and including a metal housing, an insulting body that can be mounted in the metal housing, and metal terminals that can be disposed in the insulting body. A first inner wall of the metal housing is provided with a blocking portion, and the blocking portion is spaced apart from the insulating body by a first groove. The left inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a left groove, and the right inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a right groove. Accordingly, by the design of the grooves, the connection between the connector and a mating connector is more convenient and more stable.
Claims20
A connector, comprising:
- an insulating body formed with at least one mating groove at a front side thereof;
- a plurality of metal terminals configured to be disposed in the insulating body, each having a front section configured to be exposed from the mating groove and a rear section configured to extend out of the insulating body and be fixed to a connection medium;
- and
- a metal housing formed with a front opening at a front side thereof and configured to be mounted with the insulating body therein,
- wherein the front opening is in communication with the mating groove;
- a first inner wall of the metal housing is provided with a blocking portion, and a side of the blocking portion that faces the insulating body is spaced apart from the insulating body by a first groove;
- and a left inner wall and a right inner wall of the metal housing face each other and are both adjacent to the first inner wall, the left inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a left groove, and the right inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a right groove.
A connector system, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- and
- a connector fixable to the circuit board, extending across or adjacent to an edge of the circuit board, and comprising:
- an insulating body formed with at least one mating groove at a front side thereof;
- a plurality of metal terminals configured to be disposed in the insulating body, each having a front section configured to be exposed from the mating groove and a rear section configured to extend out of the insulating body and be fixed to a connection medium;
- and
- a metal housing formed with a front opening at a front side thereof and configured to be mounted with the insulating body therein,
- wherein the front opening is in communication with the mating groove;
- a first inner wall of the metal housing is provided with a blocking portion, and a side of the blocking portion that faces the insulating body is spaced apart from the insulating body by a first groove;
- and a left inner wall and a right inner wall of the metal housing face each other and are both adjacent to the first inner wall, the left inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a left groove, and the right inner wall is spaced apart from the insulating body by a right groove.
