Electrical connector

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrical connector. The electrical connector is electrically connected with a pair of connecting components. The electrical connector comprises: a body having a slot and two side walls located at two opposite sides of the slot, wherein slot is configured to allow the connecting components to be inserted in a connection direction; a plurality of terminals arranged at the body and protruded and stretching into the slot to connect with the connecting components; and a metal piece arranged at one side wall and configured to shield the corresponding side wall, wherein the metal piece is provided with at least one through groove obliquely arranged in the connection direction. By obliquely arranging the at least one through groove, the length of the through groove inthe direction being parallel to or perpendicular to the connection direction can be reduced to allow the metal piece to still keep the high intensity without easy deformation to facilitate arrangementof the metal piece on the body, and by obliquely arranging the through groove, the turbulent flow effect is easily generated in the process of discharging heat through an oblique through groove to allow the heat to be diffused outwards so as to obviously increase the speed and the flow of heat discharge and facilitate timely discharge of the heat to ensure the normal usage of the electrical connector.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular to a PCI-E connector for inserting an electronic card. Background technique [0002] At present, the industry provides an electrical connector for inserting an electronic card. The electrical connector includes: an insulating body, a number of terminals accommodated in the insulating body, and a metal part arranged in the insulating body , and an ear buckle located at one longitudinal end of the insulating body. The insulating body includes two side walls extending along its longitudinal direction and two end walls connecting the two side walls, the two side walls and the two end walls are surrounded to form a slot, and the slot is used for For inserting the electronic card along a mating direction. The metal part covers the insulating body to enhance the strength of the insulating body, and the metal part is provided with a plurality of through grooves corresponding to each of the side ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, since the through groove is arranged parallel to or perpendicular to the butt joint direction, the length of the through groove parallel to or perpendicular to the butt joint direction is too long, resulting in the through groove greatly reducing the The strength of the metal part causes the deformation of the metal part to be relatively large during the process of forming the through groove, which is not conducive to setting the metal part on the insulating body

And because the through grooves are arranged parallel to or perpendicular to the docking direction, the heat generated by the electrical connector during use can only be discharged in a single direction through the through grooves, which in turn leads to failure due to untimely heat discharge. Affect the normal use of the electrical connector
