Abstract:
1. A probe connector, comprising: a base shell having a barrel of which a bottom is sealed up by a base board and a top is opened freely, a receiving chamber being defined in the barrel, a top periphery edge of the barrel having two opposite portions protruded upward to respectively form a pair of buckling arms spaced from each other, two top ends of each pair of buckling arms oppositely protruding sideward to form a pair of buckling barbs; an elastic element having a bottom end thereof inserted downward in the receiving chamber of the barrel and abutting against the base board, a top end of the elastic element stretching upward out of the barrel; and a probe pin having a support board of which a middle is punched upward to form a cylindrical touching portion having a top sealed up and a bottom opened freely, a receiving space being accordingly defined in the touching portion, the support board having two opposite portions which are projected beyond two opposite sides of the touching portion define a buckling slot respectively, a pair of resisting arms being provided at two opposite side edges of the support board and inclined towards each other in process of extending downward, wherein the probe pin is movably and removably coupled to the base shell with the top end of the elastic element being inserted in the receiving space and abutting against a top side of the receiving space, by means of each pair of buckling barbs passing through the corresponding bucking slot to make the pair of buckling arms inserted in the buckling slot for guiding the movement of the probe pin, the buckling barbs block over the support board to avoid the probe pin falling off from the base shell, and the resisting arms abut against two opposite outside faces of the barrel.
