Abstract

The present disclosure provides a housing for wire to board connectors. The housing comprises a main body, a first end cover, and a second end cover. The main body comprises an accommodating groove, the bottom of which is provided with a plurality of terminal openings disposed at intervals. A terminal module is disposed in the accommodating groove. A plurality of terminal groups are respectively inserted into the corresponding terminal openings. The first end cover disposed on one end edge of the main body comprises a plurality of first partition parts disposed at intervals. The second end cover disposed on the other end edge of the main body comprises a plurality of second partition parts disposed at intervals, and is opposite to the first end cover. The plurality of second partition parts and the plurality of first partition parts are alternately disposed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A housing on which at least one terminal module being installed, two sides of the terminal module being respectively provided with a hook, a plurality of terminal groups being provided on the lower side of the terminal module, the housing comprising:
a main body comprising an accommodating groove, the bottom of the accommodating groove being provided with a plurality of terminal openings disposed at intervals, the terminal module being disposed in the accommodating groove, the plurality of terminal groups being respectively inserted into the corresponding terminal openings;
a first end cover disposed on one end edge of the main body, the first end cover comprising a plurality of first partition parts disposed at intervals; and
a second end cover disposed on the other end edge of the main body, the second end cover being opposite to the first end cover, the second end cover comprising a plurality of second partition parts disposed at intervals, the plurality of second partition parts and the plurality of first partition parts being alternately disposed.

2. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the first end cover further comprises a plurality of first openings disposed in parallel on the plurality of first partition parts of the first end cover and in a plurality of gaps of the plurality of first partition parts; the second end cover further comprises a plurality of second openings disposed in parallel on the plurality of second partition parts of the second end cover and in a plurality of gaps of the plurality of second partition parts; the two hooks of the terminal module are respectively disposed in the first opening and the second opening corresponding to the first opening.

3. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first partition parts and the plurality of second partition parts further comprise a first embedding part; the plurality of gaps between the plurality of first partition parts and the plurality of gaps between the plurality of second partition parts further comprise a second embedding part.

4. The housing according to claim 3 , wherein the first embedding part comprises two first sidewalls and a first embedding groove disposed between the two first sidewalls; the two first sidewalls extend vertically toward the main body; the second embedding part comprises two second sidewalls and a second embedding groove disposed between the two second sidewalls; the two second sidewalls extend vertically toward the main body; the two second sidewalls are respectively adjacent to the corresponding first partition part or the second partition part.

5. The housing according to claim 4 , wherein the two end edges of the main body further comprise a plurality of buckles disposed at intervals; each of the buckles engages with and corresponds to the bottom of the second embedding groove.

6. The housing according to claim 4 , wherein two ends of the plurality of terminal modules are respectively installed in the plurality of first embedding grooves and the plurality of second embedding grooves when the number of terminal modules is more than one, so that the plurality of terminal groups of the plurality of terminal modules are alternately arranged.

7. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the two end edges of the main body further comprise two first engaging parts respectively; two sides of the first end cover further comprise a second engaging part; two sides of the second end cover further comprise a third engaging part; each of the second engaging parts is engaged with the corresponding first engaging part; each of the third engaging parts is engaged with the corresponding second engaging part.

8. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein each of the terminal groups of the terminal module comprises four terminals; the diameter of each of the terminal openings matches the size of each of the terminal groups, so that the four terminals are correspondingly inserted into the terminal opening.

9. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom surfaces of the first end cover and the second end cover are coplanar with the bottom surface of the main body.

10. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the main body is provided with a circuit board.
