  • Publication number: 20230074043
    Abstract: A thin type lock and unlock connector include a first shell, a second shell and an first insulator, which are buckled and combined with each other by the respective provided first fixing members to form a connector that can be connected to a flexible printed circuit board. The second shell provides a first locking member and a first elastic member to lock the flexible printed circuit board to the connector. When an external force is applied to the first pressing part of the first shell, it acts on the locking member to unlock the flexible printed circuit board that the flexible printed circuit board can be detached from the connector. The first insulator provides an action portion with a slope to be arranged corresponding to the first locking member, to determine the deformation stroke of the first locking member.

  • Publication number: 20220149565
    Abstract: The invention provides an easy lock connector with unlock structure applied to a flat wire and a circuit board. The flat wire has a notch and a ground wire on the two sides of a head end respectively. The easy-lock connector includes an upper housing, a lower housing, a rubber core and a terminal. After the notch of the flat wire is buckled by a stopper of the lower housing, by pressing a pressing member of the upper housing, the pressing member applies an external force to an elastic member of the lower housing to deform the elastic member. An extension arm of the lower housing is linked by the elastic member to cause the stopper to act in one direction so as to release the state of the stopper from locking the gap. In another embodiment, the easy-lock connector can also achieve an electromagnetic shielding effect by adding a shielding iron shell.
