Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector for a circuit board includes an insulated housing, two narrow metal brackets, and a plurality of conductive contacts. The insulated housing has a connection plate, a raised portion, and two coupling portions at two opposite sides of the raised portion. The raised portion defines a plurality of contact grooves. Each coupling portion is formed in front of the raised portion. The two narrow metal brackets are provided for mounting with the coupling portions of the insulated housing. Each narrow metal bracket has a main plate, front and rear interference tabs for being interfered with one coupling portion of the insulated housing, and at least one positioning tab for being fixed onto the circuit board. The conductive contacts are fitted through the contact grooves of the raised portion.

1. An electrical connector for a circuit board, comprising:
an insulated housing comprising:
a connection plate;a raised portion; andtwo coupling portions extended from two sides of the raised portion and positioned at two opposite sides of the connection plate, wherein the connection plate, the raised portion and two coupling portions together define a recess which is open in a direction perpendicular to and away from the attachment face of the connection plate and is also open in a direction parallel to the attachment face of the connection plate, and wherein each of the coupling portions comprises an upright support protruded upwardly from the connection plate and an engaging recess defined at bottom of the upright support and extended inwardly from a front surface of the upright support; a pair of narrow metal brackets each corresponding to one of the coupling portions, wherein each of the narrow metal brackets comprises:
a main plate being L-shaped and comprising a bottom plate and a side plate bent from the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate is disposed on a bottom surface of the corresponding coupling portion, and the side plate is attached to the outer-side surface of the corresponding coupling portion;a front interference tab comprising an extending section and an inserting section, wherein the extending section is extended from the bottom plate and bent upwardly, and the inserting section is extending from the extending section and bent toward the raised portion to insert into the engaging recess of the corresponding coupling portions;a rear interference tab extended from the bottom plate and coupled to the corresponding coupling portion; and at least one positioning tab disposed at an outer side of the main plate and adapted for engagement with the circuit board; and a plurality of conductive contacts secured in the raised portion along a longitudinal direction.
