Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal fitting and an electric connector for the same. The mobile terminal fitting comprises a case body, an electric connector and a circuit board. The case body includes a bottom plate and a side plate that can be separated from each other, with the mobile terminal disposed in an accommodating groove formed by the side plate and the bottom plate of the case body, wherein the side plate is deformable in shape to ensure that the case body is easy to be installed and removed. The electric connector, disposed on the case body, comprises a socket and a plug, and can guarantee the electrical connection between the charging cord/data cable of the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal in the case body of the mobile terminal fitting.

Claims

1. An electric connector for a mobile terminal fitting, comprising:

a plug provided with an inserting portion having a plurality of electrical contacts and a first pin portion having a plurality of pins, wherein the pins of the first pin portion are respectively electrically connected with the electrical contacts of the inserting portion, and the pins, after leading out from a rear end of the inserting portion, extend in a vertical direction, and then the pins extend in a horizontal direction toward a front end of the inserting portion and;

a socket, provided with an accommodating portion having a plurality of electrical contacts and a second pin portion having a plurality of pins, wherein the pins of the second pin portion are respectively electrically connected with the electrical contacts of the accommodating portion, and the pins extend in the horizontal direction from the rear end of the accommodating portion.

2. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein an inserting direction of the plug is parallel to an accommodating direction of the socket.

3. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein a portion of the pin of the first pin portion, extending in the vertical direction after leading out from the rear end of the inserting portion, is in a same plane with a front side of the accommodating portion of the socket.

4. The electric connector according to claim 1, further comprising a carrier plate, which provides an installation substrate for the plug and the socket to make them integrated with each other.

5. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein the inserting portion has one front end side and two lateral end sides, with a smooth transition formed at a junction between the front end side and the two lateral end sides;

the two lateral end sides comprise a lead-in slot, respectively, which is formed on one end into a depression on the lateral end side, and smoothly extends on the other end to the smooth transition of the front end side.

6. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein there is a gap in the vertical direction from the portion of the pin of the plug extending, in the horizontal direction toward the front end of the inserting portion to the portion of the pin of the socket extending in the horizontal direction;

the gap matches a thickness of a circuit board.

7. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein a portion of the pin of the plug extending in the horizontal direction toward the front end of the inserting portion and a portion of the pin of the socket extending in the horizontal direction are mutually stacked in the vertical direction;

the vertical distance extending after leading out from a rear end of the inserting portion matching a distance from a lower edge of an interface in a mobile terminal corresponding to the plug to a rear side of the mobile terminal.

8. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein the inserting portion has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the plurality of electrical contacts of the inserting portion are located on the lower surface.

9. The electric connector according to claim 1, wherein an inserting direction of the inserting portion is different from an opening direction of the accommodating portion.
