Abstract

An electrical connector is disclosed and includes a body and a cover. The body has a first through hole and an area for conducting and accommodating solder between the first through hole and the edges of the body. The cover is movably disposed on the body. The color of the cover is lighter than that of the body. The cover has a second through hole and an area for accommodating pins between the second through hole and the edges of the cover. The second through hole corresponds to the first through hole. The second through hole has a first rim, a second rim, a third rim, and a fourth rim. The third rim and the fourth rim are parallel to a movement direction of the cover. When the cover is at an open state on the body, the area for accommodating pins and the area for conducting and accommodating solder are disengaged, the projection of the first rim and the second rim of the second through hole vertically on the body does not lie in the first through hole. It solves the problem of making mistakes in inspection.

Claims

1. An electrical connector, comprising:

a body, having a first up-and-down through hole and an area for conducting and accommodating solder between the first through hole and the edges of the body; and

a cover, movably disposed on the body, the color of the cover being lighter than that of the body, the cover having a second up-and-down through hole and an area for accommodating pins between the second through hole and the edges of the cover, the second through hole corresponding to the first through hole, the area for accommodating pins corresponding to the area for conducting and accommodating solder, wherein the second through hole has a first rim, a second rim, a third rim, and a fourth rim, the third rim and the fourth rim are parallel to the movement direction of the cover, and when the cover is at an open state on the body, the area for accommodating pins and the area for conducting and accommodating solder are disengaged, a conducting circuit is at an open state, and the projection of the first rim and the second rim of the second through hole vertically on the body does not lie in the first through hole.

2. The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein the first through hole and the second through hole respectively are rectangle holes.

3. The electrical connector of claim 2, wherein the body has an area for accommodating driving device at a side of the area for conducting and accommodating solder, the cover has a driving area at a side of the area for accommodating pins correspondingly to the area for accommodating driving device, a driving device driving the cover to move on the body is disposed at the area for accommodating driving device and the driving area, and a distance from the first rim of the second through hole to the driving device is longer than the distance from the second rim of the second through hole to the driving device.

4. The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein a center of the first through hole lies at a center of the area for conducting and accommodating solder, and a center of the second through hole departs from a center of the area for accommodating pins and away from the driving device at the movement direction of the cover, so that the projection of the first rim vertically on the body does not lie in the first through hole.

5. The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein a center of the second through hole lies at a center of the area for accommodating pins, and a center of the first through hole departs from a center of the area for conducting and accommodating solder and toward the driving device at the movement direction of the cover, so that the projection of the first rim vertically on the body does not lie in the first through hole.

6. The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein a center of the first through hole departs from a center of the area for conducting and accommodating solder and toward the driving device at the movement direction of the cover, and a center of the second through hole departs from a center of the area for accommodating pins and away from the driving device at the movement direction of the cover, so that the projection of the first rim vertically on the body does not lie in the first through hole.

7. The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein the driving device is a cam driving device.

8. The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein the body has a plurality of up-and-down accommodating holes at the area for conducting and accommodating solder, each of the accommodating holes accommodates a tin ball and a conductive terminal, the cover has a plurality of pin holes penetrating the cover at the area for accommodating pins, and each of the pin holes corresponds to one of the accommodating holes.
