Abstract:
An auto termination PCB mount connector, comprising:a casing with a casing wall, being made of metal the casing wall providing a receiving groove and a small through hole, the receiving groove communicating with the through hole; a rear and a front insulators, being disposed in the casing respectively, the rear insulator proving a hole communicating with the small through hole in the casing wall; a fixing element, being made of metal and being in conjunction with an outer side of the casing wall; a spring plate with a conductive plate, being provided in the rear and the front insulators, having a tail section, a slant section, and a touch section, the slant section thereof extending a contact plate to contact with the conductive plate in a normal state, the tail section piercing the rear insulator and extending outward the casing, and the contact section thereof being to be touched by an insert end of any other connector; a resistor, being received in the receiving groove, passing over the small through hole and extending into the hole in the rear insulator; a third insulator, providing a central through hole fitting with the resistor, and being disposed in the small through hole to allow the resistor in a state of being not contacting with the casing, and a metal jacket, being placed in the receiving groove to urge toward an inner side of the casing so as to contact and press the resistor against the conductive plate; whereby, as soon as the spring plate at the contact section thereof contacts with the insert end of anodating connector and the insert end props up the touch section and the contact plate to keep the contact plate separate from the conductive plate; and as soon as the insert end is detached from the spring plate, the contact plate of the spring plate can spring back to an original position thereof.
