Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technology of connector field, in particular to a reliable turning needle structure with high current and low plugging and pulling force. Background Art

[0002] An electronic connector, also often called a circuit connector or electrical connector, is a conductive device that bridges two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. An electronic connector is a mechanical system that provides a detachable interface for connecting two sub-electronic systems. Simply put, a component that completes the electrical connection between circuits or electronic devices is called a connector, or the bridge between them. Examples include power plugs / sockets, IC sockets, and telephone line plugs. Electronic connectors are widely used in various electrical circuits, connecting or disconnecting current or signals. These connections can be temporary, easily pluggable, or permanent, between electrical devices or wires.

[0003] Many electronic connectors involve contact structures. Beyond meeting general performance requirements, contact structures must also ensure good contact, reliable operation, and easy maintenance. This reliability directly impacts the proper functioning of circuits and the safety of the entire host computer. Consequently, host circuits place stringent demands on the quality and reliability of electronic connectors. This high quality and reliability of contact structures have led to their widespread adoption in various systems. Common classification methods include appearance, structure, and application.

[0004] The current needle structure generally includes a male needle and a female needle. When plugging, the male needle is inserted into the female needle for connection. Since the male and female needles are in contact connection, in order to achieve better contact performance, the size of the female needle is generally made smaller than the size of the male needle. This will cause the insertion and removal force between the male and female needles to be too large, which brings inconvenience to the user. In addition, the current needle structure generally uses phosphor copper as the material of the female needle. Although it can achieve the function of conductive connection of the needle structure, the conductivity of phosphor copper is poor, resulting in the product being unsuitable for the passage of large currents, poor product quality, insufficient connection stability, unreliable circuit connection, easy damage to circuits and electrical appliances, and a large safety hazard. The product has a short service life and cannot meet existing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to improve the current needle structure. Utility Model Content
