[0076] The lower insulating housing 33 is used to position each lower signal terminal 311 .

[0077] Optionally, the lower insulating shell 33 may be made of insulating plastic.

[0078] Furthermore, the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the lower insulating housing 33 are interlocked with each other via the second interlocking structure 5 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the lower insulating housing 33 are interlocked with each other by the second interlocking structure 5 , so as to fix the spacing distance between each lower signal terminal 311 and each lower grounding terminal 312 .

[0080] Specifically, if Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the second interlocking structure 5 includes a first lower interlocking substructure 51 arranged on the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and a second lower interlocking substructure 52 arranged on the lower insulating shell 33. The lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the lower insulating shell 33 are positioned and combined with each other by means of the mutual interlocking of the first lower interlocking substructure 51 and the second lower interlocking substructure 52.

[0081] In this embodiment, one of the first lower embedding substructure 51 and the second lower embedding substructure 52 is a protruding block structure, and the other is a groove structure, but it is not limited thereto and can also be designed as an embedding structure with other structures.

[0083] In one embodiment, the joint structure 6 includes an upper joint substructure 61 and a lower joint substructure 62, wherein the upper joint substructure 61 is composed of an upper insulating housing 23 and an upper conductive terminal seat 22 that are interlocked with each other. Figure 5 and Figure 6 After the upper insulating shell 23 and the upper conductive terminal seat 22 are interlocked into one body, a plurality of upper joining substructures 61 can be formed. In this embodiment, the upper joining substructure 61 is a plurality of T-slots 63, but is not limited thereto. For example, the upper joining substructure 61 can also be a plurality of block structures.

[0084] Furthermore, if Figures 8 to 10 as well as Fig.11A and Fig. 11B As shown, the lower engaging substructure 62 is disposed on the lower conductive terminal seat 32. In this embodiment, the lower engaging substructure 62 is a T-block 64 adapted to the upper engaging substructure 61, but is not limited thereto. For example, the lower engaging substructure 62 may also be a plurality of groove-shaped structures.

[0085] Better, reference Fig. 12B The T-slot 63 also has a contact surface 631, and correspondingly, the T-block 64 has a contact portion 641, wherein the contact portion 641 is used to contact the contact surface 631 to prevent the upper connecting component 2 and the lower connecting component 3 from detaching from each other, and to facilitate the mating operation between the upper connecting component 2 and the lower connecting component 3.

[0086] See also Fig. 12A , Fig. 12B , Fig.13A , Fig. 13B , Fig. 13C When the upper connecting component 2 and the lower connecting component 3 are joined to each other by the upper joining substructure 61 and the lower joining substructure 62, the upper conductive terminal seat 22 of the upper connecting component 2 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32 of the lower connecting component 3 can be joined to each other to generate physical contact to provide an electrical connection between the upper connecting component 2 and the lower connecting component 3.

[0087] See also FIG. 14A to FIG. 14GIn another embodiment, the upper engaging substructure 61 is arranged on the upper insulating shell 23 and the lower engaging substructure 62 is arranged on the lower insulating shell 33, wherein the lower engaging substructure 62 is, for example, a T-block 64, and correspondingly, the upper engaging substructure 61 can be designed as a T-slot 63 adapted to the structure, so that the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the upper insulating shell 23 can be interlocked with each other, and the upper connecting component 2 and the lower connecting component 3 can be positioned and combined into one.

[0088] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the electrical connector 1 also includes an upper abutment structure 71 and a lower abutment structure 72, wherein the upper abutment structure 71 is arranged on the upper conductive terminal seat 22, and the lower abutment structure 72 is arranged on the lower conductive terminal seat 32. In this embodiment, when the upper engaging substructure 61 and the lower engaging substructure 62 are engaged with each other, the upper abutment structure 71 and the lower abutment structure 72 can contact each other to force the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32 to abut each other, thereby avoiding relative sliding of the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32, so as to maintain the electrical connection relationship between the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32.

[0089] Specifically, if Figure 14G As shown, when the upper engaging substructure 61 and the lower engaging substructure 62 are engaged with each other, a first opposite force F1 can be generated between the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32 by means of the upper abutting structure 71 and the lower abutting structure 72, and a second opposite force F2 is also generated between the upper engaging substructure 61 and the lower engaging substructure 62, thereby forcing the upper engaging substructure 61 and the lower engaging substructure 62 to be firmly engaged as a whole, thereby effectively preventing the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the lower conductive terminal seat 32 from sliding relative to each other, thereby avoiding the problem of poor electrical contact between the upper connector component 2 and the lower connector component 3 due to sliding.

[0090] The second embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing an electrical connector, which can be used to manufacture the electrical connector 1 described in the first embodiment. The method for manufacturing an electrical connector of the present application mainly includes the following steps: first, assemble the upper connection component 2 and the lower connection component 3 separately.

[0091] Specifically, the steps of assembling the upper connection component 2 include: first, positioning and electrically connecting each upper grounding terminal 212 by using the upper conductive terminal seat 22; then, the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the upper insulating shell 23 are mutually embedded by using the first interlocking structure 4 and each upper signal terminal 211 is positioned by using the upper insulating shell 23, so that the upper terminal group 21, the upper conductive terminal seat 22 and the upper insulating shell 23 constitute the upper connection component 2.

[0092] The steps of assembling the lower connection component 3 specifically include: first, positioning and electrically connecting each lower grounding terminal 312 by means of the lower conductive terminal seat 32; then, the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the lower insulating shell 33 are mutually engaged by means of the second interlocking structure 5, and at the same time, each lower signal terminal 311 is positioned by means of the lower insulating shell 33, so that the lower terminal group 31, the lower conductive terminal seat 32 and the lower insulating shell 33 constitute the lower connection component 3.

[0093] It should be noted that there is no restriction on the execution order of the assembly steps of the upper connection component 2 and the lower connection component 3. For example, the upper connection component 2 can be assembled first and then the lower connection component 3, or the lower connection component 3 can be assembled first and then the upper connection component 2. The assembly steps of the upper connection component 2 and the lower connection component 3 can also be executed simultaneously.

[0094] After the upper connection assembly 2 and the lower connection assembly 3 are assembled, the upper connection assembly 2 and the lower connection assembly 3 can be joined together by the joining structure 6 , and the lower conductive terminal seats 32 and the lower conductive terminal seats 32 can be electrically connected to each other.

[0095] In summary, the electrical connector and the manufacturing method thereof provided by the present invention can not only simplify the manufacturing process of the electrical connector and reduce the mold cost to reduce the manufacturing cost, but also increase the structural stability of the electrical connector by setting the first interlocking structure, the second interlocking structure and the joint structure to reduce the chance of displacement and misalignment of the ground terminal and the signal terminal. In addition, the electrical connector of the present application can also provide an upper ground terminal of the upper connecting component and a lower ground terminal of the lower connecting component for electrical connection, so the electrical connector of the present invention can electrically connect multiple ground terminals to meet the needs without a jumper.

[0096] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify and alter the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be as listed in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
