The present invention relates to Type C connectors, and more particularly, to a novel Type C female side connector.
With continuously growing data storage amount, the requirement on the transmission rate becomes higher, which represents, in the field of server storage, the increase of clock frequent and the rapid decrease of the rising time. Such change imposes higher demand for the manufacture of connectors. Due to a circular shape on two sides of the casing of female side connectors, current Type C side connectors have a relatively small area for a suction of a suck disc, causing the SMT suck disc to be incapable of sucking the product, such that the operation performance of collaborating technical equipment remains slow and fails to fulfill the higher requirement of a new generation of Type C connectors.
To improve the issues above, the present invention discloses a Type C female side connector comprising a suction portion, which is different from conventional connectors.
For achieving the aforementioned objectives, a novel Type C female side connector is provided, comprising a terminal part, a body part, a steel plate, and a casing part; the terminal part is inserted in the body part, and comprises a dual-row pins structure arranged in a “7” shape; wherein the body part is inserted in the casing part; wherein the steel plate is inserted in the body part; one side of the casing part comprises an opening, through which the pins of the terminal part protrude out; the opening comprises a “7” shaped fix foot on two sides thereof; the casing part comprises a suction portion formed in a flat plate structure on another side corresponding to the opening; a middle portion of the suction portion is integrated with the casing part; two sides of the suction portion expand to form a flat structure, which is to be sucked by a suck disc during manufacturing process; one end of the terminal part is inserted in the body part, with another end of the terminal part protruding out from the opening of the casing part.
Preferably, the body part is formed of a plastic material and comprises a protrusion member and a body casing; the protrusion member is integrated with one end of the body casing; one side of the body casing connected with the protrusion member comprises a recess; the body casing has a groove on one side thereof.
Preferably, the casing part comprises an inward engagement protrusion corresponding to the recess; the casing part comprises a first inward engagement tongue matching the groove; the casing part comprises a second inward engagement tongue abutting against the protrusion member; therefore, a triple fix mechanism is achieved for stably fixing the body part in the casing part.
Preferably, the suction part comprises a fix portion and an expansion portion; the expansion portion is formed on two sides of the fix portion; the fix portion is integrated with the casing part; the expansion portion is formed of a portion of the casing part which is cut and expanded flatly.
Preferably, an outer side of the suction portion is a smooth face.
With such configuration, the present invention achieves following advantages.
Compared with conventional arts, the novel Type C female side connector is added with a suction portion, which is stamped to form an area fulfilling the suction demand for the suck disc, achieving an automatic suction effect. The present invention is provided with a triple fix mechanism, thereby strengthening the stability of the body part and the casing part, and resolving the insufficient operation performance during manufacturing process of a Type C female side connector.
The aforementioned and further advantages and features of the present invention will be understood by reference to the description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings where the components are illustrated based on a proportion for explanation but not subject to the actual component proportion.
