Socket connector and electric connector assembly

Abstract

The invention discloses a socket connector comprising an insulation body, a plurality of functional terminals, and a switch mechanism. The insulation body has an insertion cavity for cooperation with a plug of a plug connector; the multiple functional terminals that are held in the insulation body are suitable for realizing electric contact with the plug inserted into the insertion cavity; and the switch mechanism held in the insulation body is capable of generating a system starting trigger signal under the drive of the plug inserted into the insertion cavity. To be specific, the switch mechanism is configured to generate a system starting trigger signal under the drive of the end portion of the plug after the multiple functional terminals are in electric contact with the plug inserted into the insertion cavity. Therefore, wrong determination by a system can be avoided and the misoperation can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a socket connector and an electrical connector assembly including the socket connector, in particular to an audio socket connector and an audio electrical connector assembly. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, the audio socket connector generally includes an insulating body, an insertion cavity is formed in the insulation body, and a plurality of functional terminals and switch mechanisms are arranged on the inner wall of the insertion cavity. A plurality of functional terminals are arranged at intervals along the axis of the insertion cavity on the inner wall of the insertion cavity, and protrude into the insertion cavity for electrically contacting multiple functional contact areas on the plug of the audio plug connector inserted into the insertion cavity. touch. Usually, the plurality of function terminals include a microphone terminal, a ground terminal, a right channel terminal and a left channel terminal. W...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art, the switch mechanism is generally arranged at the longitudinal middle part or the later part of the inner peripheral wall of the insertion cavity, which will cause the plug of the audio plug connector to be inserted into the insertion cavity of the audio jack connector. Before the multiple functional terminals of the audio socket connector are all in electrical contact with the plug of the audio plug connector, the switch mechanism has been triggered prematurely by the plug, making the audio system prone to misjudgment and misoperation
