Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising:a) a terminal seat made of electrically insulating material, the terminal seat having opposite ends with an embedding seat on each end, each embedding seat having a hollow interior, a pair of guide grooves extending into the hollow interior from an upper side, a pair of pivot holes opening inwardly into the hollow interior, each pivot hole having a depth insufficient to extend through outer surfaces of the embedding seat, and first and second obliquely inclined surfaces spaced from and facing each other within the hollow interior; and,b) an embedding piece pivotally mounted on each embedding seat, each embedding piece having a first body portion with a first lateral width, a second body portion with a second lateral width less than the first lateral width, a buckling piece extending outwardly from opposite lateral sides of the first body portion so as to engage the pair of guide grooves, a pillar extending outwardly from opposite lateral sides of the second body portion and located so as to engage the pair of pivot holes, third obliquely inclined surfaces on the first body portion located on opposite lateral sides of the second body portion and a pulling portion extending from the first body portion, whereby the embedding piece is pivotally movable with respect to the associated embedding seat between a first position, wherein the first body portion is out of contact with the first and second obliquely inclined surfaces and the third obliquely inclined surface is out of contact with the embedding seat, and a second position in which the first body portion contacts the first and second obliquely inclined surfaces, and the third obliquely inclined surface contacts the embedding seat to limit further pivotal movement of the embedding piece.
