[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the Type-C female electrical connector of this embodiment includes an insulating body 1000 and a metal housing 1001. The insulating body 1000 is provided with terminals. The terminals include a ground terminal 11, a ground terminal 13, and a positive power terminal 12. The ground terminal 11 includes a mating portion 112, a fixing portion 111, and a solder foot 113. One end of the fixing portion 111 of the ground terminal 11 is connected to its mating portion 112, and the other end of the fixing portion 111 of the ground terminal 11 is connected to its solder foot 113. The ground terminal 13 includes a mating portion 132, a fixing portion 131, and a solder foot 133. One end of the fixing portion 131 of the ground terminal 13 is connected to its mating portion 132, and the other end of the fixing portion 131 of the ground terminal 13 is connected to its solder foot 133. The end of the mating portion 112 of the ground terminal 11 away from its fixing portion 111 is bent to form a retaining portion 115. It should be noted that the mating portion 112 has two ends, one of which is connected to the fixing portion 111, and the other end is the end of the mating portion 112 away from the fixing portion 111. The end of the mating portion 132 of the grounding terminal 13 away from its fixing portion 131 is bent to form a retaining portion 135. By bending the mating portion of the grounding terminal to form a retaining portion for retaining the male connector, the Type-C female connector does not need to be equipped with a separate locking mechanism. Compared with a separate locking mechanism, this method is more convenient to manufacture, has a simpler and more compact structure, and lower cost.

[0025] In this embodiment, the Type-C female connector further includes a first connecting rod 19, which connects the retaining portion 115 of the grounding terminal 11 and the retaining portion 135 of the grounding terminal 13. By providing the first connecting rod 19, the two grounding terminals can be machined as one piece, and the strength of the retaining portion of the grounding terminal can be improved. By providing the first connecting rod 19, the strength of the insulating body 1000 can also be improved.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 19 is integrally formed with the grounding terminal 11 and the grounding terminal 13. By making the first connecting rod 19 integrally formed with the grounding terminal 11 and the grounding terminal 13, the manufacturing process can be made more convenient.

[0027] In the embodiment, the power supply positive terminal 12 is provided with a fixing part 121, two butt joints 122 and a soldering leg 123, one end of the fixing part 121 of the power supply positive terminal 12 is connected with the soldering leg 123 thereof, and the other end of the fixing part 121 of the power supply positive terminal 12 is connected with the two butt joints 122 thereof.

[0028] The butt joints of the terminals are located at the same side of the insulating body, and specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the butt joints of the terminals are located at the upper side of the insulating body 1000. By arranging the butt joints of the terminals at the same side of the insulating body, the production efficiency can be improved.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 the butt joints of the ground terminals 11 and 13 are bent downward to form the clamping parts, and as a simple modification of the embodiment, the butt joints of the ground terminals can also be bent upward to form the clamping parts.

[0030] As a simple modification of the embodiment, the Type-C female electric connector can also be provided with other terminals such as signal terminals.

[0031] Embodiment 2

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 the power supply positive terminal 22 of the Type-C female electric connector of the embodiment is provided with a fixing part 221, two butt joints 222 and a soldering leg 223, one end of the fixing part 221 of the power supply positive terminal 22 is connected with the soldering leg 223 thereof, and the other end of the fixing part 221 of the power supply positive terminal 22 is connected with the two butt joints 222 thereof. The difference between the embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the Type-C female electric connector is further provided with a second connecting rod 229, and the second connecting rod 229 connects the two butt joints 222 of the power supply positive terminal 22. By arranging the second connecting rod 229, the strength of the butt joints 222 of the power supply positive terminal 22 can be improved.

[0033] In the embodiment, the second connecting rod 229 is integrally formed with the power supply positive terminal 22.

[0034] Embodiment 3

[0035] As shown in Figures 4-6As shown, the Type-C female electrical connector of this embodiment includes terminals and an insulating body 3000. The terminals include an upper row of terminals and a lower row of terminals. In this embodiment, the upper row of terminals includes a ground terminal 31 and a ground terminal 33. The lower row of terminals includes a ground terminal 37 and a ground terminal 38. The ground terminal 31 includes a fixing part 311, a mating part 312, and a solder foot 313. The end of the mating part 312 away from the fixing part 311 is bent to form a retaining part 315. The ground terminal 33 includes a fixing part 331, a mating part 332, and a solder foot 333. The end of the mating part 332 away from the fixing part 331 is bent to form a retaining part 335. The Type-C female electrical connector also provides a third connecting rod 39, which connects the retaining part 315 and the retaining part 335. The third connecting rod 39 is integrally formed with the ground terminal 31 and the ground terminal 35.

[0036] As a simple variation of this embodiment, a retaining part can also be formed by bending the grounding terminal in the lower row of terminals; or a retaining part can be provided on the grounding terminals in both the upper and lower rows of terminals.

[0037] Example 4:

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: the Type-C female connector has only one grounding terminal 53, and the end of the mating part of the grounding terminal 53 away from its fixing part is bent to form a retaining part 535. The Type-C female connector also has a fourth connecting rod 59, one end of the fourth connecting rod 59 is connected to the retaining part 535 of the grounding terminal 53, and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 59 also has a retaining part 595.

[0039] By bending the mating part of the grounding terminal to form a retaining part for retaining the male connector, the Type-C female connector does not need to be equipped with a separate retaining lock. Compared with a separate retaining lock, it is easier to process, has a simpler and more compact structure, and is less expensive.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the present invention are covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention, and will not be listed here.
