[0002] A connector assembly is often required in electronic devices to transmit electrical signals. Generally speaking, a connector assembly is composed of multiple connectors. Through the plugging of the multiple connectors, multiple conductive terminals are overlapped to transmit electrical signals. However, existing connector assemblies have a trend of miniaturization design, which greatly reduces the size of the multiple connectors that constitute the connector assembly. As a result, it is easy for the multiple connectors to be difficult to plug in, and the overlapping relationship of the conductive terminals of the multiple connectors is difficult to maintain.

[0081] The present application provides a connector assembly capable of guiding insertion and maintaining the overlapping relationship of conductive terminals, and a master-end connector and a slave-end connector thereof. For the description of the embodiments disclosed in the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 17 .

[0082] At Figures 1 to 17In the illustrated embodiment, the connector assembly 1 comprises: a master-end connector 11 and a slave-end connector 12. The master-end connector 11 can be plugged into the slave-end connector 12 to transmit electrical signals in the electronic device.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the main-end connector 11 includes: a main-end conductive terminal 111, a main-end insulating rubber core 112, and a main-end metal shell 113. The main-end conductive terminal 111 has a main-end terminal head 1111 and a main-end terminal body 1112. The main-end insulating rubber core 112 is joined to the main-end terminal body 1112 to join the main-end conductive terminal 111 and the main-end insulating rubber core 112 into one body.

[0084] The main end metal shell 113 has a main end shell guide structure 1131, a main end shell clamping structure 1132, a main end shell shielding structure 1133 and a main end shell overlapping space 1134. In the above embodiment, the main end metal shell 113 is connected to the main end insulating rubber core 112, so that the main end terminal head 1111 is located in the main end shell overlapping space 1134 to provide overlapping with the slave end connector 12. In this way, the main end shell shielding structure 1133 can provide shielding for the main end shell overlapping space 1134 to reduce the degree of interference to the connector assembly 1 when transmitting signals, thereby optimizing the quality of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission to meet the special needs and development of electronic equipment.

[0085] In addition, the main-end shell guiding structure 1131 can guide the insertion of the slave-end connector 12, so that the main-end terminal head 1111 can overlap the slave-end connector 12 in the main-end shell overlapping space 1134, and the main-end shell clamping structure 1132 can clamp the slave-end connector 12 to maintain the overlapping relationship between the main-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12, and avoid the overlapping relationship between the main-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12 being easily released, thereby improving the reliability of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission and meeting the requirements of electronic equipment for signal transmission.

[0086] like Figures 7 and 8 In the embodiment shown, the main end insulating rubber core 112 comprises a main end terminal sub-rubber core 1121, a main end embedded sub-rubber core 1122, a main end clamping sub-rubber core 1123 and a main end rubber core overlap space 1124. The main end rubber core overlap space 1124 can be selectively located at the main end terminal sub-rubber core 1121, the main end embedded sub-rubber core 1122 or the main end clamping sub-rubber core 1123.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the main terminal sub-core 1121 is joined to the main terminal body 1112 to integrate the main terminal 111 and the main terminal sub-core 1121. The main terminal metal shell 113 is joined to the main terminal sub-core 1121 to integrate the main terminal metal shell 113 and the main terminal sub-core 1121.

[0088] In addition, the assembly of the main end metal shell 113 and the main end terminal sub-core 1121 is embedded in the main end embedded sub-core 1122 to integrate the assembly of the main end metal shell 113 and the main end terminal sub-core 1121 with the main end embedded sub-core 1122 into one.

[0089] like Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the main-end clamping sub-core 1123 has a main-end clamping sub-core guiding structure 11231, a main-end clamping sub-core clamping structure 11232 and a main-end clamping sub-core elastic arm structure 11233. In the above embodiment, the main-end clamping sub-core 1123 is engaged with the main-end embedded sub-core 1122, so that the main-end clamping sub-core 1123 and the main-end embedded sub-core 1122 are combined as a whole, so that the main-end terminal head 1111 is located in the main-end core overlap space 1124. Not limited to the above, the main-end embedded sub-core 1122 and the main-end metal shell 113 can be omitted, so that the main-end terminal sub-core 1121 is positioned by the main-end clamping sub-core 1123, so that the main-end terminal head 1111 is located in the main-end core overlap space 1124.

[0090] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the main-end snap-in sub-core guiding structure 11231 can guide the insertion of the slave-end connector 12, so that the main-end terminal head 1111 overlaps the slave-end connector 12 in the main-end glue core overlapping space 1124, and the main-end snap-in sub-core snap-in structure 11232 snaps the slave-end connector 12 to maintain the overlapping relationship between the main-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12, and avoid the overlap relationship between the main-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12 being easily released, thereby improving the reliability of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission and meeting the requirements of the electronic device for signal transmission. The main-end snap-in sub-core snap-in structure 11232 is, for example, a hook structure that can achieve snap-in connection with the slave-end connector 12.

[0091] In addition, in the above embodiment, the main-end clamping sub-rubber core elastic arm structure 11233 is connected to the main-end clamping sub-rubber core clamping structure 11232, so that the main-end clamping sub-rubber core elastic arm structure 11233 can be elastically deformed under force and force the main-end clamping sub-rubber core clamping structure 11232 to clamp the slave-end connector 12.

[0092] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 7 to 9 and Figure 16 to Figure 17In the embodiment shown, the main-end connector 11 also has a main-end stopping component 114, which can limit the elastic deformation degree of the main-end clamping sub-rubber core elastic arm structure 11233 by abutting the main-end clamping sub-rubber core elastic arm structure 11233 through the main-end stopping component 114, so as to effectively prevent the clamping state of the main-end clamping sub-rubber core clamping structure 11232 and the slave-end connector 12 from being easily released.

[0093] Correspondingly, the main end clamping sub-core 1123 has a main end clamping sub-core positioning structure 11234 and a main end clamping sub-core moving track 11235. It should be noted that the main end clamping sub-core positioning structure 11234 is, for example, a clamping structure that can position the main end stop member 114, so that the main end stop member 114 abuts against the main end clamping sub-core elastic arm structure 11233 at a predetermined position to maintain the abutting relationship between the main end stop member 114 and the main end clamping sub-core elastic arm structure 11233; and the main end clamping sub-core moving track 11235 can guide the main end stop member 114 to move, so that the main end stop member 114 can move to a predetermined position to abut against the main end clamping sub-core elastic arm structure 11233.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the main end connector 11 also has a main end waterproof rubber ring 115, such as Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the main end waterproof rubber ring 115 is arranged on the main end embedded sub-rubber core 1122, so that water can be prevented from penetrating into the main end housing overlap space 1134, thereby preventing water from affecting the transmission of electrical signals by the connector assembly, and even preventing water from reducing the service life of the connector assembly. Not limited to the above, the main end waterproof rubber ring 115 can also be selectively arranged on the main end terminal sub-rubber core 1121.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the slave connector 12 includes: a slave conductive terminal 121, a slave insulating rubber core 122, and a slave metal shell 123.

The slave insulating rubber core 122 has a slave rubber core overlap space 1223, and the slave insulating rubber core 122 is connected to the slave terminal body 1212 to connect the slave conductive terminal 121 and the slave insulating rubber core 122 as a whole, and the slave terminal head 1211 is located in the slave rubber core overlap space 1223 to provide overlap with the master connector 11.

[0096] The slave metal shell 123 has a slave shell clamping structure 1231, a slave shell shielding structure 1232 and a slave shell guiding structure 1233. In the above embodiment, the slave metal shell 123 is engaged with the slave insulating rubber core 122, so that the slave shell shielding structure 1232 provides shielding for the slave rubber core overlap space 1223, so as to reduce the degree of interference to the connector assembly 1 when transmitting signals, thereby optimizing the quality of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission, so as to meet the special needs and development of electronic equipment.

[0097] In addition, the slave-end shell guiding structure 1233 can guide the plug-in main-end connector 11 so that the slave-end terminal head 1211 overlaps the main-end connector 11 in the slave-end rubber core overlapping space 1223, and the slave-end shell clamping structure 1231 clamps the main-end connector 11 to maintain the overlapping relationship between the slave-end terminal head 1211 and the main-end connector 11, and avoid the overlapping relationship between the main-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12 being easily released, thereby improving the reliability of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission and meeting the requirements of electronic equipment for signal transmission.

[0098] like Figures 5 and 6 In the embodiment shown, the secondary end insulating rubber core 122 comprises a secondary end terminal rubber core 1221 and a secondary end clamping rubber core 1222. The secondary end rubber core overlap space 1223 can be selectively located in the secondary end terminal rubber core 1221 or the secondary end clamping rubber core 1222.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the secondary terminal core 1221 has a secondary terminal core guide structure 12211. In addition, the secondary terminal core 1221 is joined to the secondary terminal body 1212, so as to join the secondary conductive terminal 121 and the secondary terminal core 1221 as one body. The secondary metal shell 123 is joined to the secondary terminal core 1221, so as to join the secondary metal shell 123 and the secondary terminal core 1221 as one body.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the slave-end clamping sub-core 1222 has a slave-end clamping sub-core guiding structure 12221 and a slave-end clamping sub-core clamping structure 12222. The slave-end clamping sub-core 1222 is joined to the slave-end metal shell 123, so that the slave-end clamping sub-core 1222 and the slave-end metal shell 123 are joined as one. Not limited to the above, the slave-end metal shell 123 can be omitted, so that the slave-end terminal sub-core 1221 is positioned by the slave-end clamping sub-core 1222, so that the slave-end terminal head 1211 is located in the slave-end core overlap space 1223.

[0101] It should be noted that the slave-end clamping sub-core guiding structure 12221 and the slave-end terminal sub-core guiding structure 12211 can guide the plug-in master-end connector 11, so that the slave-end terminal head 1211 overlaps the master-end connector 11 in the slave-end core overlapping space 1223, and the slave-end clamping sub-core clamping structure 12222 clamps the master-end connector 11, so as to maintain the overlapping relationship between the slave-end terminal head 1211 and the master-end connector 11, and avoid the overlapping relationship between the master-end terminal head 1111 and the slave-end connector 12 being easily released, thereby improving the reliability of the connector assembly 1 for signal transmission and meeting the requirements of electronic equipment for signal transmission. The slave-end clamping sub-core clamping structure 12222 is, for example, a block structure that can achieve clamping of the master-end connector 11.

[0102] In addition, it should be noted that in the above embodiment, when the master-end connector 11 is plugged into the slave-end connector 12, the master-end housing overlap space 1134 and the slave-end rubber core overlap space 1223 can be connected to form a connector assembly overlap space S, so that the master-end terminal head 1111 can overlap the slave-end terminal head 1211 in the connector assembly overlap space S. Not limited to the above, the master-end metal housing 113 and its master-end housing overlap space 1134 can be omitted, so that the connector assembly overlap space S is formed by connecting the master-end rubber core overlap space 1124 with the slave-end rubber core overlap space 1223.
