Abstract

A socket for a quick-connector having a main housing has a top and bottom housing, and a non-connected wall having one side and the front wall of a recessed space are provided with a fastening peg corresponding to a peg slot provided at the bottom housing, allowing the two housings to be mounted and engaged such that the circuit board, the flexible circuit board, the terminal platform, the male or female socket and the locking bolt are contained therein, and the rear rotating section is formed by the top and the bottom rear section housing as a hollow pivotal shaft, which is engaged within the recessed space and the slot of the pivot, allowing a 0 to 180 degree rotation, the interior of the rear section is the cable mounting, for holding the cable which branches from the rear rotating section housing to form a hollow pivot shaft to the main housing; the terminal platform, the male or female socket and the flexible circuit board are soldered to form a connected component.

Claims

1. A quick connector comprising:

a main housing composed of a top housing and a bottom housing, said main housing being formed with a pivotal slot having a recessed space, said top housing having two opposite lateral sides and an inner end side which are each provided with a fastening peg which corresponds to a pegging slot of said bottom housing thereby allowing said top and bottom housings to be secured together;

a circuit board;

a terminal platform mounted on said circuit board and having a first terminal platform and a second terminal platform, said first terminal platform being provided with cable holes facing externally, said second terminal platform having cable holes and a sloping surface;

a socket connected with said circuit board via a flexible circuit board thereby enabling said socket to be adjusted in position;

a rear rotating section having a top rear rotating housing and a bottom rear rotating housing engaged with said top rear rotating housing to form a hollow pivotal shaft which is pivotally mounted on said recessed space of said pivotal slot;

a cable mounting mounted between said top rear rotating housing and said bottom rear rotating housing;

a pair of locking screw bolts extending through said main housing and said socket to engage with screws; and

a cable extending through said cable mounting to engage with said terminal platform.
