Abstract

A connector, fixed on a circuit board for connecting to a signal line includes a base plate, a base body, a cover part and an elastic component. The base body is fixed on the base plate A circuit-board signal line at a bottom end of the base body is electrically coupled to the circuit board. The cover part, connected to the base body, can be opened or closed relative to the base body. The elastic component is for storing an elastic restoring force for engaging the cover part with the base body. By closing the cover part relative to the base body, the connector fixes the signal line in the base body such that the signal line is electrically coupled to the circuit-board signal line. When the cover part is opened relative to the base body, the signal line can be departed from the connector.

Dependent claims

A connector, fixed on a circuit board, for connecting to a signal line, the connector comprising:

a base plate, disposed on the circuit board;
a base body, fixed on the base plate, wherein a circuit-board signal line at a bottom end of the base body is electrically coupled to the circuit board;
a cover part, connected to the base body, and capable of being opened or closed relative to the base body, wherein the cover part comprises:
a first side plate, having a first fixing part at one end:
a second side plate, disposed corresponding to the first side plate, and having a second fixing part at one end;
and
a third side plate, connecting to the first side plate and the second side plate;
and
an elastic component, for storing an elastic restoring force and engaging the cover part with the base body, wherein the elastic component is disposed on the cover part;
wherein by closing the cover part relative to the base body, the connector fixes the signal line in the base body such that the signal line is electrically coupled to the circuit-board signal line;
wherein when the cover part is opened relative to the base body, the signal line is departed from the connector.
