Socket and connector assembly

Abstract

The invention provides a socket and a connector assembly. The socket comprises a socket insulator and jack contact members which are arranged on the socket insulator. The jack contact members are provided with jacks. The jack contact members are provided with through channels enabling the jacks and the external part of the jack contact members to be communicated. The through channels are internally provided with drainage channels in a penetrating way, and the drainage channels are matched with the jack contact members in an insulating way and used for draining water in the jacks in the plugging process. The drainage channels are provided with channel internal end openings which are communicated with the jacks. The periphery of the channel internal end openings is provided with drainage channel sealed matching surfaces. When the plugging ends of pin contact members stretch into the jacks, water in the jacks is directly drained out of the socket via the drainage channels without bringing plugging resistance to the plugging ends of pins. When the pin contact members are unplugged out of the jacks of the jack contact members, water can reversely flow into the jacks of the jack contact members from the external part of the socket via the drainage channels so that pressure of the left and right ends of the pin contact members is enabled to be balanced and thus plugging is relatively laborsaving.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conductive connection device, in particular to a socket and a connector assembly. Background technique [0002] With the development of submarine power transmission, the application of underwater connectors is becoming more and more extensive, and its role is becoming more and more important. The main technical problem of the underwater electrical connector is how to ensure the conductive seal, especially the problem of ensuring that there will be no water accumulation between the plug and the socket during the insertion process. [0003] The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN101106230A and the announcement date of January 16, 2008 discloses a plug-in sealing structure for underwater electrical connector contacts. A drainage groove is set between the insulating sleeve on the top and the socket insulator, that is, the mating surface on the socket insulator to achieve the purpose of draining the water betw...

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN101106230A and the announcement date of January 16, 2008 discloses a plug-in sealing structure for underwater electrical connector contacts. A drainage groove is set between the insulating sleeve on the top and the socket insulator, that is, the mating surface on the socket insulator to achieve the purpose of draining the water between the two when the plug and socket are inserted, although such a mating sealing structure can Drain the accumulated water between the plug and the socket, but there is no way to discharge the water that enters the socket socket contact before insertion, so that the water in the socket contact occupies a certain insertion space, resulting in resistance to insertion Very large, it is difficult to insert into the insertion position, that is, the insertion end of the pin contact is located at the bottom of the socket of the socket contact, which seriously affects the use of the connector, and the forced insertion will easily cause the pin The plug-in end of the contact or the socket of the socket contact is damaged and deformed, and even the seal fails and the conductive connection cannot be realized, and it cannot be used normally
