需要說明的是，由於該兩對接端子用插槽12是位於組裝有該兩載板2的該殼體1的柔性電路板組裝槽11之間，因此上方的載板2的第一面21是朝向下方，而下方的載板2的第一面21是朝向上方，也就是說，兩個載板是以不同的面向設置於該殼體1的柔性電路板組裝槽11，然而在其他實施態樣中，所述對接端子用插槽12對於組裝有載板2的柔性電路板組裝槽11的相對位置可以依照需求調整，舉例來說，位於下方的對接端子用插槽12也可以調整至組裝有下方柔性電路板組裝槽11的下方，此時下方的載板2的第一面21將朝向下方，且彈性壓片3與柔性電路板4的設置方式也將隨之對應調整。It should be noted that since the twomating terminal slots 12 are located between the flexible circuitboard assembly slots 11 of thehousing 1 in which the twocarrier boards 2 are assembled, thefirst surface 21 of theupper carrier board 2 is Facing downwards, and thefirst surface 21 of thelower carrier board 2 is facing upwards, that is, the two carrier boards are arranged in the flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11 of thehousing 1 with different faces. However, in other embodiments In this way, the relative position of thedocking terminal socket 12 to the flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11 on which thecarrier board 2 is assembled can be adjusted as required. For example, thedocking terminal socket 12 located below can also be adjusted to the assembly There is below the flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11, thefirst surface 21 of thelower carrier 2 will face downward, and the arrangement of the elasticpressing sheet 3 and theflexible circuit board 4 will be adjusted accordingly.

另外，在本第一實施例中，每一載板2還具有分別對應該等彈性指部32且上下地貫穿的多個穿槽26，該等彈性指部32分別穿過該等穿槽26以朝向該等對接端子用插槽12的方向施壓於該柔性電路板4。此外，每一載板2的第一面21的後側緣處還形成有朝遠離該第二面22的方向延伸出的一握持部27，該殼體1的後端上下側處還形成有分別且連通該兩柔性電路板組裝槽11且對應容置該兩載板2的握持部27的兩個容置凹部13，所述握持部27能於組裝時供組裝者握持操作，藉此方便組裝作業。In addition, in the first embodiment, eachcarrier plate 2 also has a plurality of throughslots 26 corresponding to theelastic fingers 32 and penetrating vertically, and theelastic fingers 32 respectively pass through the throughslots 26. Theflexible circuit board 4 is pressed in a direction toward thesockets 12 for the mating terminals. In addition, the rear edge of thefirst surface 21 of eachcarrier plate 2 is also formed with a grippingportion 27 extending away from thesecond surface 22, and the upper and lower sides of the rear end of thehousing 1 are also formed There are twoaccommodating recesses 13 respectively communicating with the two flexible circuitboard assembly grooves 11 and correspondingly accommodating the holdingparts 27 of the twocarrier boards 2. The holdingparts 27 can be used by the assembler to hold and operate during assembly , To facilitate assembly operations.

參閱圖1及圖4，在本第一實施例中，該電連接器100的殼體1適用於插置地裝設在一面板(圖未示)的一安裝孔(圖未示)。該殼體1還具有位於後端且分別朝該左右兩側凸出的兩靠抵部15，以及位於右側的靠抵部15前方且自該殼體1的前端朝後延伸且末端部朝右凸出的一彈扣條16。當該殼體1朝前地插入該面板的安裝孔時，該彈扣條16被該面板壓下後，越過該面板並靠抵於該面板的安裝孔右側的前側面部分，而該兩靠抵部15則靠抵於該面板的安裝孔左右兩側的後側面部分。換句話說，此時該兩靠抵部15與該彈扣條16共同夾持該面板，以使該電連接器100的殼體1裝設於該面板的安裝孔。另外，位於右側的靠抵部15形成有一穿孔151，該殼體還具有連接於該彈扣條16且朝後延伸地穿過該穿孔151的一操作桿17，當該電連接器100的殼體1裝設於該面板的安裝孔時，使用者可以朝左撥動該操作桿17以連動該彈扣條16被壓下，即可將該電連接器100的殼體1朝後退出該面板的安裝孔以解除安裝。1 and 4, in the first embodiment, thehousing 1 of theelectrical connector 100 is adapted to be insertedly installed in a mounting hole (not shown) of a panel (not shown). Thecasing 1 also has two abuttingportions 15 located at the rear end and protruding toward the left and right sides respectively, and afront abutting portion 15 located on the right side and extending rearward from the front end of thecasing 1 with the end portion facing the right. A protrudingelastic buckle 16. When thehousing 1 is inserted forwardWhen the panel is installed in the mounting hole, thespring fastener strip 16 is pressed down by the panel and crosses the panel and abuts against the front side part on the right side of the mounting hole of the panel, and the two abuttingportions 15 abut against the panel The rear side part on the left and right sides of the mounting hole. In other words, at this time, the two abuttingportions 15 and theelastic fastener strip 16 together clamp the panel, so that thehousing 1 of theelectrical connector 100 is installed in the mounting hole of the panel. In addition, theabutment portion 15 on the right side is formed with a throughhole 151, and the housing also has an operatingrod 17 connected to theelastic fastener 16 and extending backward through the throughhole 151. When the housing of theelectrical connector 100 When thebody 1 is installed in the mounting hole of the panel, the user can move the operatinglever 17 to the left to link thesnap bar 16 to be pressed down, and then thehousing 1 of theelectrical connector 100 can be withdrawn from the back of theelectrical connector 100. The mounting hole of the panel can be removed.

參閱圖6至圖9，本發明電連接器100之一第二實施例與該第一實施例不同之處在於，每一柔性電路板組裝槽11的每一個導引軌道112內具有形成於內壁面且用以與對應的載板2的彈性扣持凸部23對應扣接的後扣持凹部116及前扣持凹部115。該殼體1具有形成於頂部與底部且分別連通於該兩柔性電路板組裝槽11以朝向該兩載板2的第二面22的兩個開窗14。如圖9所示，當該兩載板2的彈性扣持凸部23扣接於位於後方的所述後扣持凹部116，所述載板2並未完全插入對應的柔性電路板組裝槽11，且所述載板2的前端自對應的開窗14顯露出。此時，該柔性電路板4能自所述後插口111伸入該柔性電路板組裝槽11以設於該載板2的第一面21，且該柔性電路板4的翻摺部43自所述開窗14穿出該殼體1，這時組裝者能通過所述開窗14調整所述柔性電路板4的位置，以使所述載板2的定位柱25對準並穿伸於所述柔性電路板4的定位穿孔44。如圖6所示，接著，將該兩載板2繼續朝前推，使所述載板2的彈性扣持凸部23扣接於位於前方的所述前扣持凹部115，此時，所述載板2的定位柱25穿過所述定位穿孔44且插設於所述定位孔114，且該柔性電路板4的翻摺部43被壓入柔性電路板組裝槽11內，如此即完成組裝步驟。藉由該殼體1的後扣持凹部116與前扣持凹部115能構成兩段式組裝構造，組裝有該彈性壓片3的該載板2能藉由所述兩段式組裝構造預先組裝於該殼體1上，而該柔性電路板4能夠之後再插入至該殼體1並藉由該載板2組裝到該殼體1內，藉此使該電連接器100的製造組裝流程能針對各種情況有不同的應用。例如，針對不同的客戶能夠提供預先組裝好的半成品，以供客戶自行組裝尚未組裝的柔性電路板4部分，另外，藉由預先組裝好的半成品也能使在各製程間的運輸作業更為便利。6-9, the second embodiment of theelectrical connector 100 of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that eachguide rail 112 of each flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11 has an inner The wall surface is used to buckle the rear bucklingconcave portion 116 and the front bucklingconcave portion 115 corresponding to the elastic bucklingconvex portion 23 of thecorresponding carrier 2. Thecasing 1 has twoopenings 14 formed at the top and bottom and respectively connected to the two flexible circuitboard assembly grooves 11 to face thesecond surfaces 22 of the twocarrier boards 2. As shown in FIG. 9, when the elastic bucklingconvex portions 23 of the twocarrier boards 2 are buckled to the rear bucklingconcave portion 116 located at the rear, thecarrier board 2 is not completely inserted into the corresponding flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11 , And the front end of thecarrier board 2 is exposed from thecorresponding opening 14. At this time, theflexible circuit board 4 can extend from therear socket 111 into the flexible circuitboard assembly slot 11 so as to be disposed on thefirst surface 21 of thecarrier board 2, and the foldedportion 43 of theflexible circuit board 4 is free from The openingwindow 14 passes through thehousing 1. At this time, the assembler can adjust the position of theflexible circuit board 4 through theopening 14 so that the positioning posts 25 of thecarrier board 2 are aligned and extend through thehousing 1. Thepositioning hole 44 of theflexible circuit board 4. As shown in Figure 6, then, the twocarrier boards 2 continue to be pushed forward, so that the elastic bucklingprotrusions 23 of thecarrier board 2 are buckled in place.Thefront buckle recess 115 at the front, at this time, thepositioning post 25 of thecarrier board 2 passes through thepositioning hole 44 and is inserted into thepositioning hole 114, and the folded portion of theflexible circuit board 4 43 is pressed into the flexible circuitboard assembly groove 11, and the assembly step is completed in this way. Therear buckling recess 116 and the front bucklingrecess 115 of thehousing 1 can form a two-stage assembly structure, and thecarrier plate 2 assembled with the elasticpressing piece 3 can be pre-assembled by the two-stage assembly structure On thehousing 1, and theflexible circuit board 4 can be inserted into thehousing 1 and assembled into thehousing 1 by thecarrier board 2, thereby enabling the manufacturing and assembly process of theelectrical connector 100 There are different applications for various situations. For example, for different customers, we can provide pre-assembled semi-finished products for customers to assemble the unassembledflexible circuit board 4 parts by themselves. In addition, the pre-assembled semi-finished products can also make transportation between various processes more convenient. .

另外，在本第二實施例中，構造有所述彈性扣持凸部23的彈性臂28是直接自該載板2的左右兩側朝前延伸出。In addition, in the second embodiment, theelastic arm 28 configured with the elastic bucklingconvex portion 23 directly extends forward from the left and right sides of thecarrier board 2.
