[Prior Art] 液晶 Liquid crystal display panels have been widely used in various 3C products such as information, communication and consumer electronics. However, since the liquid crystal itself does not have luminescent characteristics in the liquid crystal display panel. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect, a liquid crystal display panel needs to be provided with a light source device. In the prior art, a liquid crystal display panel having a backlight module is well known, and its function is to provide a surface light source having a sufficient brightness and uniform distribution to the liquid crystal display panel. The design of the φ-like backlight module is such that a plurality of lamps are disposed on one side of the back plate. The two ends of the lamp are respectively fixed on a connector, and the connector is disposed on the back plate. Since the structure of the lamp is relatively fragile, it is easy to cause damage when a slight pressure is applied to the glass tube. Excessive pressure on the glass tube must be avoided when performing the dressing operation. In addition, when performing maintenance on a liquid crystal display using a lamp, it must be carefully touched and damaged. Therefore, the lamp must be fixed by a connector. The connector is generally composed of an insulating body having an opening and two pairs of flexible conductive elastic sheets disposed in the opening 201024619, and are sleeved at both ends of the lamp. And the metal shouts, and then inserts the metal shell into the gap of the conductive elastic piece to hold the metal sleeve by the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic piece, and one end of the metal shell is sleeved on the tube 'On the electrode' to make electrical conduction between the lamp electrode and the conductive dome. However, due to the presence of a gap between the end of the metal sheath and the electrode of the tube, in order to prevent electrical contact failure between the metal sheath and the electrode of the tube, the method of welding is generally used in the metal sheath. A fixed bond is formed with the tube electrode. Therefore, the structural disadvantage of such a connector is that it is necessary to put a metal casing on both ends of the lamp tube and to form a fixed joint between the metal casing and the electrode of the lamp by means of welding. This process not only makes the production time and cost Increase, and production yield will also decrease. [Invention] The conventional connector needs to form a welded and fixed joint between the metal sleeve and the tube electrode, and then the metal shell can be inserted into the gap between the conductive elastic sheets of the connector to make the tube and the connection. There is a connection between the devices, but this production process has problems of reduced production yield and increased production costs. Therefore, there is a need to develop a low-cost, simple installation method for the assembly process of the lamp and a connector for the method 201024619. The connector of the present invention includes an insulative housing and a conductive terminal, wherein the insulative housing has a receiving slot and two guiding slots for connecting the receiving slot and a slot, and the insertion opening of the receiving slot and the insertion slot of the two guiding slots In the same direction. The conductive terminal is mounted in the receiving groove of the insulating body, wherein the conductive terminal has a body, two opposite front clamping arms, two opposite rear clamping arms and one pin, and the second rear clamping arm is connected to the body and the second rear A channel is formed between the clamping arms and a notch is formed on the channel. The two rear clamping arms are respectively provided with a positioning portion, wherein the positioning portion is inserted into each of the two guiding grooves, and the two front clamping arms are located at the two rear clamping frames. In front of the arm, the pin is connected to the body and is located below the two rear clamp arms, the slot is for a circuit board to be inserted, the two front clamp arms are for holding a light tube, and the second rear clamp arms are for clamping And electrically connected to the electrode of the lamp. The method for connecting a lamp tube by using the above connector includes: providing a lamp tube, wherein one end of the lamp tube has an electrode; and mounting the lamp tube on the two front clamp arms of the conductive terminal, wherein the electrode system of the lamp tube Moving along the channel between the two rear clamp arms to the notch; and fixing the electrode of the lamp tube to the gap between the two rear clamping arms of the conductive terminal. The effect of the connector of the present invention is that the design of the guiding groove of the arm and the insulating body before and after the transmission of the conductive terminal is such that the connection between the conductive terminal and the lamp tube does not require a metal casing and a welded fixed system 201024619. The state that the lamp tube and the connector are stably held and electrically connected can be achieved, which can effectively solve the problem that the conventional connector production yield is reduced and the production cost is increased. [Embodiment] Referring to the first to ninth drawings, the present invention provides a connector for connecting and fixing a lamp tube 4, wherein the lamp tube 4 can include a cold cathode tube (CCFL), heat. The cathode tube (hcfl)* has an electrode tube. In this embodiment, the tube 4 is described by a cold cathode tube, and the connector is mounted on the backlight module I back plate (not shown).
