Connector assembly and its male connector and male power terminal

Abstract

A connector assembly and its male connector and male power terminal are disclosed. The male power terminal includes a plurality of terminal materials, a pre-mating portion, and a post-mating portion. The terminal materials can extend in substantially different areas or spaces to transmit a power signal, thereby increasing the transmission range of the power signal and ensuring stable transmission. The pre-mating portion and the post-mating portion can be mated sequentially. Therefore, by detecting the mating status of the post-mating portion, it can be determined whether the male connector and the female connector are fully mated, preventing premature transmission of a power signal before full mating and ensuring that power signal transmission only occurs after full mating, thus improving the power signal transmission quality of the connector assembly.
