Patent number: 8192215Abstract: A flat cable connector includes a casing, a plurality of terminals, and a pressing member. Each terminal has a fixing arm, a movable arm, and a connecting portion, the fixing arm having fixing and contact portions, the movable arm having bearing and pressing portions, and a recess formed on the fixing portion and having first and second shoulder portions. The pressing member forms a rotation shaft and a cam portion having a propping end and an actuation end, wherein the rotation shaft is pivotally disposed on the recess, the propping end props against the bearing portion whereby the pressing portion keeps a first distance from the contact portion. When the pressing member is being pressed, the actuation end rotates and props against the bearing portion whereby the pressing portion keeps a second distance from the contact portion, the second distance being shorter than the first distance.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sung-Tien Lin, Yen-Lin Chen

Patent number: 7931492Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing, a conductive terminal, and a pressing member. The conductive terminal is received and fixed in the housing. The conductive terminal includes a fixing arm and a depressed arm extending in the same direction and substantially parallel to each other. The depressed arm has an end forming a depressed portion. The fixing arm is fixed with respect to the housing. The fixing arm has a side forming an engaging portion for electrically engaging an electrical cable and an opposite side forming at least one abutment portion positioned against an inner wall of the housing. The pressing member includes a pivot, which is extended in a given direction to form a depressing portion that is operable to depress the depressed arm. The pressing member is movable to switch between an open condition and a clamped condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yen-Lin Chen

Patent number: 7887351Abstract: An electrical connector for a flat conductor that has a novel positioning and retaining structure is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a housing, a pressure member and a plurality of conductive terminals spaced with a certain interval and planted onto the housing. The electrical connector is characterized in a pair of prominences internally molded at two sides of a lower surface of the pressure member, and another pair of protrusions internally molded at two inner lateral walls of the housing near a front edge of the housing, namely the edge receiving the flat conductor. Thereby, when the flat conductor is inserted into the electrical connector, the flat conductor is firstly positioned by the protrusions of the housing, and then when the pressure member is closed to the housing, the flat conductor is engaged with the prominences of the pressure member.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shing-Sheng Wang, Yen-Lin Chen

Patent number: 7862370Abstract: A connector includes a housing, a flexible circuit board, a terminal and a pressing element. The flexible circuit board, two sides of which are formed respectively with a latching part, is electrically connected with the connector. The terminal includes a movable arm and a fixed arm which are extended toward a same direction and parallel provided. An end of the movable arm is a pushing part, and the other end is a pushed part. The fixed arm is fixed by using the housing and includes a snap part close to the pushing part. The pressing element has an abutting part to push the pushed part. Accordingly, when the pressing element is acted upon by a displacement operation to displace toward a pre-determined direction, the snap part of the fixed arm is engaged into the latching part of the flexible circuit board which is therefore effectively fixed at the connector.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2009Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yen-Lin Chen

Patent number: 7845962Abstract: The present invention discloses an aft-lift electric connector for a flexible circuit board. The electric connector includes a housing, a terminal and a pressing element. As a fixed arm is formed with a flange and a side edge of the pressing element is formed with a first notch and a second notch to accommodate the flange, therefore, before the electric connector operates, the first notch of the pressing element can be latched with the flange of the pushed part, so as to achieve a pre-operational positioning effect. On the other hand, after the electric connector has operated, the second notch of the pressing element can be latched with the flange of the pushed part, so as to achieve a post-operational positioning effect, allowing a user to verify that the electric connector has accomplished the pre-determined pushing operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yi-Hsing Chung, Sung-Tien Lin
