Patent number: 8827732Abstract: A flexible circuit board connector includes a dielectric housing having receiving slots for receiving terminals. Each of the terminals includes first and second contact arms, a biasing arm, a fixing arm, and a linking arm. A pressing element pivots on the fixing arm against the biasing arm so as to tilt the first contact arm towards the second contact arm to clamp a flexible circuit board, wherein each of the receiving slots is formed with a retention wall, each of the terminals includes a first engaging portion formed on the junction of the first contact arm and the biasing arm or on the junction of the second contact arm and the fixing arm, the first engaging portion is located in alignment with an axis of the linking arm, whereby the terminal is secured in the receiving slot by the first engaging portion and the retention wall.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Taiwan Suncagey Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sung-Tien Lin, Yen-Hsun Chen, Hsuan-Fu Huang

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: 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
