Therefore, repeated explanation of each such component, member, and the like is omitted. Further, the examples do not limit the invention. All features Combinations thereof are not necessarily essential to the invention.

Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an electric connector device 101 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, each of the forward, backward, upward, and downward directions is defined by an arrow indication. Figure 2 is a partial perspective plan view of the electrical connector device 101. Incidentally, the cross-sectional view taken from the line I-I illustrated in Fig. 2 corresponds to Fig. 1. The power connector device 101 according to the present invention is an inspection power connector device for inspecting a known HDMI terminal (i.e., an HDMI connector) provided on a television, a personal computer, or the like.

The power connector device 101 includes a main connector 11, a printed board 70, a communication connector 81, and a handle portion 90. The main connector 11 is fixed to one of the surfaces of the printed board 70. The communication connector 81 and the handle portion 90 are fixed to the other surface of the printed board 70. The handle portion 90 is expressed at substantially the same height as the main connector 11 in the up and down direction. The fixing of the main connector 11 or the handle portion 90 to the printed board 70 is performed by, for example, screws 251 to 253. The number of screw placements can be used as needed. The communication connector 81 is of the same type as the target connector. The fixing of the communication connector 81 to the printed board 70 is carried out by a general method such as soldering.

When the power connector device 101 is used, the communication connector 81 is connected to an inspection device (not shown) with a cable (in this case, an HDMI cable). Next, the main connector 11 is inserted into the target connector while grasping the handle portion 90. Then, perform the required inspections. The wiring pattern provided on the printed board 70 is electrically connected to the main connector 11 to the communication connector 81. A communication path between the target connector and the inspection device is established by inserting the main connector 11 into the target connector.

The main connector 11 includes a terminal holding member 20 made of, for example, an insulating resin, a metal terminal 30, and a guiding member 40 made of, for example, an insulating resin. The terminal holding member 20 includes, for example, a flat base portion 21, and support wall portions 22a, 22b. The support wall portions 22a, 22b are erected from the flat base portion 21 toward the front. Incidentally, the support wall portions 22a, 22b and the support wall portions (not shown) which are also erected from the flat base portion 21 are formed into four side surfaces like rectangular tubes, and are insertable (preferably, none Slotted into the size of the target connector. The groove portion (or excavation portion) 24 formed in the support wall portion 22b is intended to be avoided as a protruding portion of the maintenance mechanism as the target connector and will be described later (i.e., disabled by the maintenance mechanism). There is a through hole 25 formed in the support wall portion 22a so as to prevent the metal plate 27 from being detached from the terminal holding member 20 through the guide member 40.

The terminal 30 is such that the base end portion 31 is bent like a hook, and is hooked into the terminal hook hole 21b formed in the back surface of the base portion 21, and such that each terminal 30 extends through the terminal through hole 21a formed in the base portion 21 and from The base portion 21 is erected toward the front. The base end portion 31 is held by the base portion 21 and the printing plate 70 to be stably held. A plurality of terminals 30 are configured to correspond to the electrodes of the target connector, respectively. Incidentally, a single terminal through hole 21a and a single terminal hook hole 21b may be provided for each single terminal 30. Alternatively, a single terminal through hole 21a and a single terminal hook hole 21b may be provided for a plurality of terminals 30 in common.

The guiding member 40 includes guiding wall portions 41a to 41c, and a guiding wall portion (not shown) facing the guiding wall portion 41c, and the guiding wall portion is configured The four side surfaces of the rectangular tube are shown. The guide wall portion 41a extends between the support wall portion 22a and the terminal 30. The guide wall portion 41b extends between the support wall portion 22b and the terminal 30. The guide grooves 42 extending forward and backward are present on the inner surfaces of the guide wall portions 41a, 41b (relative to the support wall portions 22a and 22b, respectively) such that the number of the guide grooves 42 is equal to the number of the terminals 30. The terminals 30 extend in the guiding grooves 42, respectively. Each of the guiding grooves 42 has an inclined surface 43 on the base end side of the bottom surface thereof. Each of the inclined faces 43 is such that its height linearly increases forward. The terminals 30 facing each other in Fig. 1 have inclined portions which are inclined in the front-rear direction along the associated inclined faces 43, and are respectively placed in the guide grooves 42. Incidentally, the terminals 30 facing each other have a restoring force due to their own elasticity, and the elasticity acts in a direction in which their end openings are separated from each other. The terminal 30 is elastically contacted with the inner side of the guide wall portions 41a and 41b provided above and below the guide member 40, respectively.

The guiding member 40 can be relatively moved with respect to the terminal holding member 20 in a direction in which the support wall portions 22a and 22b are erected (front-rear direction). More specifically, the guide wall portion of the rectangular tube of the image forming terminal holding member 20 exists therein and is slidable relative to the guide wall portion of the rectangular tube of the assembly image terminal. The forward sliding range of the guide wall portion is restricted by using the metal plate 27 as the maintaining mechanism.

The metal plate 27 has two ends bent at right angles to each other in opposite directions. The bent portion 27a on one end side of the metal plate 27 is placed in the groove portion of the front surface of the base portion 21, and is fixed to the base portion 21 by screws 251. The screw 251 penetrates the bent portion 27a, the base portion 21, and the through hole in the printed board 70, and is fixed to the handle portion 90. In the screw hole. The curved portion 271 on the other end side of the metal plate 27 penetrates the through hole 25 in the support wall portion 22a and extends in the concave portion 411 of the guide wall portion 41a. Thus, the forward relative movement of the guiding member 40 is restricted to a position range in which the side surfaces of the curved portion 271 and the concave portion 411 abut each other.

The push rod 50 and the spring 92, which are used as the urging means, are provided in the concave portion 91 of the handle portion 90 at the back of the guiding member 40. The push rod 50 is pushed forward by the spring 92. The pusher 50 includes a base portion 51 and a shaft 52 that is integrally formed with each other, for example. The base portion 51 is disposed relative to the guide member 40 that passes over the printed board 70. The back surface of the base portion 51 is pushed forward by the spring 92. The shaft 52 extends forward from the central portion of the base portion 51, passes through the printing plate 70 and the base portion 21 of the terminal holding member 20, and abuts against the back surface of the guiding member 40. As such, the shaft 52 pushes the guiding member 40 forward until the front surface of the base portion 51 abuts against the printing plate 70, as shown in FIG. The relative position of the guiding member 40 at this time is defined as a "reference position". Further, the tilt state of the terminal 30 when the guiding member 40 is at the reference position is defined as a "reference state". In this reference state, each terminal 30 is located in the guiding groove 42.

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an example in which the guide member 40 in the electric connector device 101 is retracted with respect to the reference position illustrated in Fig. 1. When the respective guide members 40 retreat with respect to the reference position, the inclined portions of the respective terminals 30 are pushed by the guide wall portions 41a and 41b. Then, each terminal 30 is pushed from its position at the reference state illustrated in FIG. 1 to incline the center axis of the guiding member 40. So, facing each other The distance between the ends of the terminals 30 is narrowed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the case where the main connector 11 of the electric connector device 101 is inserted into the target connector will be explained.

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the main connector 11 is partially inserted into the target connector 801. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the end of the main connector 11 contacts the base end surface 814 of the target connector 801. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the main connector 11 is further pushed against the target connector 801 from the state illustrated in Fig. 5.

At a stage in which the main connector 11 is inserted from the state illustrated in FIG. 4 to the state in FIG. 5, the guiding member 40 is not retracted from the reference position. Further, each terminal 30 is not inclined with respect to the reference state. Thus, each terminal 30 does not abut against the electrode on the substrate 811 of the target connector 801 and the electrode that does not abut against the substrate 811. On the other hand, if the main connector 11 is pushed against the target connector 801 from the state illustrated in FIG. 5 until the end of the terminal holding member 20 abuts against the base end surface 814, the guiding member 40 is guided by the target connector 801. The base end surface 814 is pushed and retracted against the urging force of the spring 92 with respect to the terminal holding member 20, as illustrated in Fig. 6. The guide wall portions 41a and 41b push the inclined portion of the terminal 30 to the side of the substrate 811. Thus, the terminal 30 is moved inwardly inclined and abuts against the electrodes on the substrate 811 (i.e., the substrate 811 is sandwiched by the ends of the terminals 30 facing each other). Thus, the inspection of the target connector 801 can be performed.

When the main connector 11 is retracted from the target connector 801, the state of the main connector 11 is sequentially changed from the state illustrated in Fig. 6 through the state illustrated in Fig. 5 to the state illustrated in Fig. 4. At this time, the terminal 30 is shaped like a rod. Shape or plate shape. Further, the ends of the terminals 30 facing each other have an electrical action in a direction in which their ends are separated from each other in the opening. When the state illustrated in FIG. 6 transitions to the state illustrated in FIG. 5, the terminal 30 is moved from the substrate 811 by the relative forward movement of the guiding member 40 with respect to the terminal holding member 20 by the thrust of the spring 92. The electrode automatically leaves. Thus, the tilt state of each terminal 30 returns to the reference state. Incidentally, the engagement of the guide member 40 with the holding projection 812 of the target connector 801 is prevented by the groove portion 24 formed on the support wall portion 22b. Therefore, the resistance of the insertion/exit of the main connector 11 is low (that is, the main connector 11 can be inserted and withdrawn with a small force).

According to the present invention, the following advantages can be obtained.

(1) The electric connector device according to the present embodiment has the following structure. That is, even if the main connector 11 is inserted into the target connector 801, each terminal 30 does not contact the electrode on the substrate 811 of the target connector 801 until the main connector 11 is in the state illustrated in FIG. 5 ( That is, before the guiding member 40 is relatively retracted from the reference position). Each of the terminals 30 is not in contact with the electrodes on the substrate 811 until the main connector 11 is inserted into the target connector 801 so as to be in the state illustrated in Fig. 6, and so as to be relatively retracted from the reference position. Thus, the friction between the terminals 30 and the electrodes on the substrate 811 can be reduced or eliminated when compared to the case of using an existing cable connector (i.e., when the terminals are inserted from the beginning and the electrodes rubbing against each other). As a result, the durability of the main connector 11 at the inspection is higher than that of the existing cable connector. In addition, the main connector 11 is lower in terms of cost and amount of waste. Although using existing cable connectors In this case, there is a risk of damage to the target connector 801 due to the upward turn-up of the terminal, but in the case where the main connector 11 is used, the risk is low.

(2) In the case of using the existing cable connector, since it is engaged with the holding projection 812 of the target connector 801, the resistance to insertion/exit of the existing cable connector is high. Therefore, existing cable connectors are not suitable for inspection. However, the use of the groove portion 24 avoids the hook between the main connector 11 and the retaining projection 812. Thus, the resistance to insertion/exit of the main connector 11 is low. Therefore, the inspection works well. In this way, high speed insert/exit can be performed.

Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an electrical connector device 102 in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 also illustrates the target connector 802. The state illustrated in Fig. 7 is a state immediately before the main connector 12 is inserted into the target connector 802, and the guide member 40 starts to retreat with respect to the terminal holding member 20. Figure 8 is a partial perspective plan view illustrating the electrical connector device 102.

The target connector 802 and the communication connector 82 according to the present embodiment are USB ports (USB connectors). Thus, the terminal 30 provided on the upper side illustrated in Fig. 1 is omitted. When compared with the connector device illustrated in FIG. 1, the guide wall portion 41a is retracted so that the protruding portion 824 of the target connector 802 can be pushed into the main connector 12. The retaining screw 27b is screwed into the screw retaining hole of the guide wall portion 41a. The relative movement range of the retaining screw 27b, that is, the relative movement range of the guide member 40 before and after is restricted by the elongated hole 25a of the support wall portion 22a of the terminal holding member 20. By the way, each terminal 30 has a restoring force due to its own elastic force, which is toward the terminal 30. The tip is moved laterally away from the direction of the electrode 828 of the target connector 802. Each of the terminals 30 is in elastic contact with the top surface of the guide wall portion 41b of the guiding member 40.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an exemplary state in which the main connector 12 is additionally pushed from the state illustrated in FIG. 7 to the target connector 802. The guiding member 40 pushes the main connector 12 against the target connector 802 in this manner to push against the protruding portion 824 of the target connector 802. The guiding member 40 is retracted to resist the thrust of the spring 92 with respect to the terminal holding member 20. Therefore, the inclined surface 43 of the guide wall portion 41b pushes the inclined portion 30a of the terminal 30 upward. The terminal 30 then moves and slopes inwardly to abut the electrode 828 of the target connector 802. In this way, the check of the target connector 802 can be performed. Incidentally, when the main connector 12 is withdrawn, the state of the main connector 12 is sequentially changed from the state illustrated in FIG. 9 to the state illustrated in FIG. That is, the guiding member 40 performs relative forward movement with respect to the terminal holding member 20 using the thrust of the spring 92. The terminal 30 automatically returns to the reference state due to its own elastic force (that is, the state illustrated in Fig. 7), similar to the first embodiment. The cutout portion 24a is provided in the support wall portion 22a. The groove portion 24b is provided on the support wall portion 22b. Thus, the retention tab 812 of the target connector 802 is avoided (i.e., remains disabled). Other aspects of the invention are similar to the related aspects of the first embodiment. The second embodiment has advantages similar to those of the first embodiment.

Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing an electrical connector device 103 in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 also illustrates the target connector 803. The target connector 803 has electrodes on the inside surface 829. Therefore, the main connector 13 according to the present embodiment is grouped such that when the main connector 13 is inserted into the mesh When the connector 803 is marked, the terminal 30 is opened outward (i.e., opened up and down, respectively).

The terminal holding member 20 has a support wall portion 22c that stands forward from the base portion 21 between the support wall portions 22a and 22b. The guiding member 40 is formed in a rectangular tube shape around the support wall portion 22c. Each of the guide wall portions 41a and 41b extends between the support wall portion 22c and one of the associated terminals 30. The retaining screw 27c is fixed into a screw hole formed in the support wall portion 22c. The relative movement range of the retaining screw 27c, that is, the relative movement of the guide member 40 before and after is restricted by the elongated hole 413 of the guide wall portion 41b. The terminals 30 facing each other have a restoring force due to their own elasticity, and the elasticity acts in a direction in which the distance between the ends of the terminals 30 is narrowed. The terminal 30 is in elastic contact with the guide wall portions 41a and 41b of the guiding member 40, respectively.

Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing an exemplary state in which the main connector 13 is pushed against the target connector 803 to the end thereof. The guiding member 40 pushes against the base end surface 814 of the target connector 803 by pushing the main connector 13 against the target connector 803 in this manner. Thus, the guiding member 40 performs a relative retreat with respect to the terminal holding member 20 against the thrust of the spring 92. The guide wall portions 41a and 41b push the inclined portion of the terminal 30 upward. Thus, the terminals 30 are moved up and down (i.e., the ends of the terminals 30 facing each other are separated from each other). Therefore, the terminal 30 abuts against the electrode on the inner side surface of the target connector 803. In this way, the inspection of the target connector 803 can be performed. Incidentally, when the main connector 13 is retracted, the state change of the main connector 13 is changed from the state illustrated in Fig. 11 to the state illustrated in Fig. 10. That is, the guiding member 40 uses the thrust of the spring 92 to implement the phase The relative movement of the terminal holding member 20 is relatively forward. The terminal 30 returns to the reference state (the state illustrated in Fig. 10), similar to the first embodiment. Incidentally, if the target connector 803 has the retaining projection, the retaining projection can be avoided by providing the recessed portion or the cutout portion in at least one of the support wall portions 22a and 22b, similar to the first An embodiment. Other aspects of the third embodiment of the present invention are similar to those of the first embodiment. The third embodiment has advantages similar to those of the first embodiment.

Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of an electrical connector device 104 in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 also illustrates the target connector 804. The target connector 804 and the communication connector 84 are D terminals (D connectors). Figure 13 is a plan view of the electrical connector device 104.

The support wall portions 22a and 22b have extension portions 22d, 22e, respectively, which extend in an L-shaped cross section. The terminal pressing plate 225 is inserted into a through hole that extends in the direction in which the terminals 30 are formed in the extending portions 22d and 22e, respectively. The terminal portion of one of the terminal clamps 225 abuts the terminal 30. The guiding member 40 includes an inner guiding wall portion 441 and an outer guiding wall portion 442. The inner guide wall portion 441 is configured such that the terminal 30 extends between the support wall portions 22a and 22b. Each of the outer guiding walls 442 extends to the opening of one of the associated wall portions 22a and 22b (in the end, the opening 222a of the supporting wall portion 22a appears in Fig. 13), so that the inclined faces 442a abut each other. The end of one of the associated end plates 225. Each of the inclined faces 442a extends forward from the inside to the outside so as to be inclined in the up and down direction. In this case, the inner guide wall portion 441 is a portion separated from each of the outer guide wall portions 442. The base end portion of the inner guide wall portion 441 A concave portion 443a provided at a substantially central portion of the base portion 443 extending to the outer guide wall portion 442 is placed. In this seating state, the joint tip 414 penetrates and joins the base portion 443 and the inner guide wall portion 441. Incidentally, the base portion 443 and the inner guide wall portion 441 may be coupled to each other without providing the joint tip 414. The terminals 30 facing each other have a restoring force due to their own elasticity, and the elasticity acts in a direction in which the distance between the ends of the terminals 30 increases. The terminal 30 and the terminal pressing plate 225 are in elastic contact with each other.

Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing an exemplary state in which the main connector 14 is pushed against the target connector 804 to the end thereof. In the state illustrated in Fig. 12, each terminal 30 is inclined to the inner guide wall portion 441 by one of the associated terminal platens 225 and placed in the associated guide groove 42. When the main connector 14 is pushed against the target connector 804 to cause the guiding member 40 to retreat against the thrust of the spring 92 with respect to the terminal holding member 20, as illustrated in Fig. 14, the inclined surface of the outer guiding wall portion 442 442a retreats. Thus, the terminal pressing plate 225 moves in the direction away from the inner guiding wall portion 441 due to the elastic force of the terminal 30. Therefore, the ends of the terminals 30 are opened outwardly apart from each other such that the terminals 30 are in contact with the electrodes 848 of the target connector 804, respectively. In this way, the check of the target connector 804 can be performed.

When the main connector 14 is withdrawn, the state of the main connector 14 is sequentially changed from the state illustrated in Fig. 14 to the state illustrated in Fig. 12. That is, the guiding member 40 is relatively moved forward relative to the terminal holding member 20 due to the thrust of the spring 92. Each terminal 30 is inclined toward the inner guiding wall portion 441 by the associated terminal pressing plate 225 (each terminal 30 is associated The terminal crimping plate 225 is pushed toward the inner guiding wall portion 441) and returns to the inclined state illustrated in Fig. 12. Other aspects of this embodiment are similar to the related aspects of the first embodiment. The fourth embodiment has advantages similar to those of the first embodiment.

In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described by way of illustrative embodiments. However, it should be understood that various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to the components and processes in accordance with the present embodiments. These changes are described below.

In various embodiments, the inspection cable can be directly connected to the main connector. In this case, a printed board and a connection connector are not required.

In the third and fourth embodiments, in some electrode configurations of the target connector, the terminals may be disposed only on one of the upper and lower sides of the connector.
