Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, and in particular relates to an electric connector socket. Background Art

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the electrical connector socket includes at least two groups of terminal assemblies 30 arranged in parallel, each group of terminal assemblies 30 includes two terminal boards, the terminal boards have a head 31 and a tail 33 that dock with the plug, the heads 31 of the two terminal boards are fitted without a gap, and there is a gap A between the tails 33, and the upper end surface of the tail 33 is provided with a plurality of fisheye structures 34, the fisheye structures 34 are used for matching the PCB board crimping, and in this embodiment, the fisheye structures 34 are provided with four;
[0033] The terminal board has a middle portion 32 located between the head portion 31 and the tail portion 33. The head portion 31 and the tail portion 33 are transitionally connected through the middle portion 32, so that the head portions 31 fit without a gap and there is a gap A between the tail portions 33. The middle portion 32 is set to an arc with a guiding function, which plays a guiding role when the connector is plugged in and out.
[0034] In the technical solution of the electrical connector socket, a plurality of fisheye structures 34 are provided on the upper end surface of the tail portion 33 to shunt the current, thereby achieving a large current and reducing the crimping force of a single fisheye structure 34, thereby reducing damage to the PCB board; the space originally occupied by the two terminals is greatly reduced by fitting the heads 31 of the two terminal boards together without a gap and providing a gap A between the tail portions 33.
[0035] By merging the head 31 and splitting the tail 33 in the terminal assembly 30, and providing a plurality of fisheye structures 34 on the upper end surface of the tail 33, while ensuring the pressure-bearing and flow-through capacity of the connector socket, effective use of the product space is achieved, thereby realizing miniaturization of the product.
[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the head 31 of each terminal assembly 30 has different lengths, and the tail end of each terminal assembly 30 is flush, so that the electrical connector socket has both long terminals and short terminals, thereby realizing hot plugging of the electrical connector.
[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the opposite side of the heads 31 of the two terminal boards is a plane for bonding, which reduces the gap between the two terminal boards, reduces the occupied space of the terminal assembly 30, and further realizes product miniaturization;
[0038] The side opposite to the head 31 of the two terminal boards is a sloped surface formed by a thinning process for guiding during insertion; the slope becomes thicker from the head end to the tail end of the head 31; the setting of the slope plays a guiding role when the connector is plugged in and out, thereby improving the convenience of plugging in and out. At the same time, the side opposite to the head 31 of the two terminal boards is processed by a thinning process to reduce the size of the head 31 and reduce the plugging and unplugging force generated during the plugging and unplugging of the connector.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the electrical connector socket further includes a base 10 and a cover plate 20. To improve the convenience of assembling the base 10, the cover plate 20 and the terminal assembly 30, the base 10 and the cover plate 20 are snap-fitted, wherein a slot 11 for accommodating the terminal assembly 30 is formed between the base 10 and the cover plate 20;
[0040] The fisheye structure 34 movably penetrates the cover plate 20 and cooperates with the PCB board.
[0041] To solve the problem of stabilizing the position of the terminal assembly 30 in the slot 11, as Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, a stop step 12 perpendicular to the length direction of the terminal assembly 30 is provided inside the slot body 11, and a stop surface 311 cooperating with the stop step 12 for positioning is provided at the lower end of the head 31;
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, a second stop surface 331 is provided at the upper end of the tail portion 33 at a position corresponding to the fisheye structure 34 . The second stop surface 331 passes through the through hole provided on the cover plate 20 and is positioned in contact with the side wall of the through hole.
[0043] When assembling the electrical connector socket, the terminal assembly 30 is installed from the tail of the base 10, the stop surface 1 311 contacts the stop step 12, the terminal assembly 30 is stopped, and the cover plate 20 is installed from the top of the base 10. The fisheye structure 34 and the stop surface 2 331 pass through the through hole, and the rear cover plate 20 is snap-fitted with the base 10. The cover plate 20 and the base 10 completely limit the terminal assembly 30. The stability of the position of the terminal assembly 30 in the slot body 11 is achieved through the cooperation between the stop step 12 and the stop surface 311, and the cooperation between the stop surface 2 331 and the through hole.
[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the lower end surface of the cover plate 20 extends longitudinally to form a support column 21, and the movable end of the support column 21 is inserted into the gap A to open the tail portion 33, so that the two side surfaces of the tail portion 33 are respectively in contact with the side walls of the slot body 11 and the support column 21; the cover plate 20 constrains the terminal assembly 30 through the support column 21 to ensure the stability of the position of the terminal assembly 30 inside the slot body 11, and when the PCB board is crimped, the terminal assembly 30 is evenly stressed and has a greater holding force in the base 10.
[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to realize the snap-fit arrangement between the base 10 and the cover plate 20, a snap hook 13 is arranged on the base 10, and the cover plate 20 extends downward to form a snap hook 22 snap-fitted with the snap hook 13;
[0046] When the cover plate 20 is installed, the second hook 22 contacts the first hook 13 and undergoes elastic deformation, and returns to its original position after passing over the first hook 13 , and engages with the first hook 13 .
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a card slot is provided at the rear end of the base 10, and a buckle 23 covering the card slot is provided at the rear end of the cover 20; after the base 10 and the cover 20 are snap-fitted and installed, the buckle 23 covers the card slot, thereby strengthening the rear structure of the base 10. The constraint of the cover 20 on the base 10 enables the socket as a whole to withstand a greater crimping force when the PCB board is crimped.
[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in order to solve the heat dissipation problem of the terminal during operation, a heat dissipation hole 15 for heat dissipation of the terminal is opened at a position corresponding to the head 31 on the base 10.
[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the stability and accuracy of the fisheye structure 34 when it is matched with the PCB board, a positioning column 14 for guiding before crimping the PCB board is provided at the upper end surface of the base 10.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it.
