ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coaxial connector for being securely connected to printed circuit boards. The connector has a casing with two prongs for connecting the board and a notch for receiving a side of the board.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In a conventional coaxial connector, there is a coaxial cable located in a center of the housing of the connector and the cable is to be connected to a circuit board by way of soldering, riveting or the any other methods that connects the coaxial cable to the board. In order to fixedly connect the cable to the board, the manufacturers have to put a lot amount of soldering material to the connection. However, too much soldering material will result in a less transportation of signals and the manufacturers will be incurred by a higher cost. On the other hands, if less soldering material is put to the connection, the coaxial cable could be disengaged from the board by vibration or the like. Besides, a typical connector includes a male connector and a female connector which receives the male connector for form the connector. In practice, inadvertent axial and/or rotational movement of a male connector body relative to a female connector body makes providing a satisfactory electrical connection difficult.
The present invention intends to provide a connector that has two prongs for clamp the circuit board securely and a notch for a side of the board to be engaged with. By this way, the connection between the coaxial connector and the circuit board is easy and reliable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a two prongs in the holes in the board and comprising a housing with a coaxial cable located in a center of the housing. Two prongs extend from two ends of a front end of the housing and extend toward a direction perpendicular to an axis of the coaxial cable. A lower portion extends from the housing and a gap is defined between the lower portion and the two prongs. An end facing the prongs of the lower portion has a notch defined therein for receiving an edge of a circuit board.
The object of the present invention is to provide a coaxial connector for connecting to a circuit board wherein the connector has a notch that receives an edge of a board which is then rotated to let two prongs on the connector be inserted into two holes in the circuit board.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
