[0026] The present application first provides a terminal, which can be applied to an electrical connector.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrical connector 1000 is used to electrically connect two electronic modules, for example, to electrically connect a chip module 2000 to a circuit board 3000. The electrical connector 1000 includes a terminal 100 and an insulating body 200. The insulating body 200 is provided with a first surface 201, a second surface 202 and a terminal groove 203. The terminal groove 203 penetrates the first surface 201 and the second surface 202. The terminals 100 are arranged in the terminal groove 203 one by one. The terminal groove 203 includes a receiving groove 2031 and a fixing groove 2032. The receiving groove 2031 and the fixing groove 2032 are connected to each other. It can be understood that in this embodiment, only one of the terminals 100 used for transmitting signals and the terminal groove 203 for receiving the terminal 100 are schematically shown. For example, in a chip connector, a plurality of terminals 100 can be provided, arranged in a matrix. Correspondingly, a plurality of terminal grooves 203 can also be provided, and the present application does not limit this.

[0028] The terminal 100 can be composed of a plurality of metal plates formed by integral stamping and bending. The terminal 100 has a first elastic arm portion 22 and a second elastic arm portion 32, wherein the first elastic arm portion 22 is exposed on the first surface 201 of the insulating body 200 to form an upper contact portion, and the second elastic arm portion 32 is exposed on the second surface 202 of the insulating body 200 to form a lower contact portion. When the electrical connector 1000 is located between two electronic modules, one of the electronic modules presses against the first elastic arm portion 22, and the other electronic module presses against the second elastic arm portion 32, so that the two electronic modules are electrically connected.

[0029] Please also see Figure 3For example, when in use, the electrical connector 1000 is located between the chip module 2000 and the circuit board 3000, the chip module 2000 moves downward to press the first elastic arm portion 22 from above, and the circuit board 3000 presses the second elastic arm portion 32 from below, so that the first elastic arm portion 22 and the second elastic arm portion 32 are deformed, and the chip module 2000 and the circuit board 3000 are electrically connected. The pressing direction is taken as an example of the Z-axis direction in the figure. It can be understood that the description of the orientation in this application, such as up, down, etc., is based on the posture of the product in actual application. If the posture of the product changes, the corresponding orientation may also change, and this application does not limit this.

[0030] Please also see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the terminal 100 includes two conductive members 10 that are independent of each other. Each conductive member 10 can be formed by integrally stamping and bending a metal plate. The two conductive members 10 are respectively a first conductive member 20 and a second conductive member 30. The first conductive member 20 has a first connecting portion 21, a first elastic arm portion 22, a first fixing portion 23 and a first extending portion 24. The first elastic arm portion 22 and the first fixing portion 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first connecting portion 21. The first elastic arm portion 22 is bent toward the direction close to the first extending portion 23, and the end of the first elastic arm portion 22 is spaced from the first extending portion 24.

[0031] The second conductive member 30 has a second connecting portion 31, a second elastic arm portion 32, a second fixing portion 33 and a second extending portion 34. The second elastic arm portion 32 and the second fixing portion 33 are respectively connected to two ends of the second connecting portion 31. The second elastic arm portion 32 is bent in a direction close to the second extending portion 34, and the end of the second elastic arm portion 32 is spaced apart from the second extending portion 34.

[0032] The first conductive member 20 is inserted from the upper surface of the insulating body 200, the first fixing portion 23 is inserted and fixed in the fixing groove 2032 by hard interference, and the first connecting portion 21 and the first elastic arm portion 22 are inserted into the receiving groove 2031. Similarly, the second conductive member 30 is inserted from the lower surface of the insulating body 200, the second fixing portion 33 is inserted and fixed in the fixing groove 2032 by hard interference, and the second connecting portion 31 and the second elastic arm portion 32 are inserted into the receiving groove 2031. After the first and second conductive members 20 and 30 are inserted, the first and second connecting portions 21 and 31 are arranged to abut each other left and right, and the first and second elastic arm portions 22 and 32 are arranged up and down.

[0033] Please also see Figure 5When the terminal 100 is located between two electronic modules, one of the electronic modules presses the first elastic arm portion 22, causing the end of the first elastic arm portion 22 to move toward the first extension portion 24 and abut against the first extension portion 24; the other electronic module presses the second elastic arm portion 32, causing the end of the second elastic arm portion 32 to move toward the second extension portion 34 and abut against the second extension portion 34.

[0034] Exemplarily, the two electronic modules may be a chip module 2000 and a circuit board 3000. Furthermore, when the electronic module presses against the first elastic arm portion 22 and the electronic module presses against the second elastic arm portion 32, the first extension portion 24 may contact and support the first elastic arm portion 22 to ensure stable contact between the electronic module and the first elastic arm portion 22, and at the same time, the second extension portion 34 may contact and support the second elastic arm portion 32 to ensure stable contact between the electronic module and the second elastic arm portion 32, and the first connection portion 21 is held against the second connection portion 31 to ensure electrical connection between the first elastic arm portion 22, the second elastic arm portion 32, the first extension portion 24 and the second extension portion 34. In this way, the terminal 100 structure can be mutually supported and electrically connected through multiple contact points, thereby improving the contact stability and electrical connection stability between the terminal 100 and the electronic module.

[0035] Please also see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the width of the first connecting portion 21 is smaller than the width of the corresponding first fixing portion 23 and is offset, so that a first accommodating space 25 is formed below the first fixing portion 23. The width of the second connecting portion 31 is smaller than the width of the corresponding second fixing portion 33 and is offset, so that a second accommodating space 35 is formed above the second fixing portion 33. The first connecting portion 21 is located in the second accommodating space 35, and the second connecting portion 31 is located in the first accommodating space 25. The width directions of the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 are both taken as examples in the Y-axis direction in the figure. It can be understood that the offset setting of the two components in the above description means that the projections of the two components in the corresponding directions have non-overlapping parts.

[0036] The first accommodating space 25 and the second accommodating space 35 can respectively accommodate the second connecting portion 31 and the first connecting portion 21, so that the second connecting portion 31 and the first connecting portion 21 can be compactly combined together, thereby reducing the occupied space volume and improving space utilization.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first connection portion 21 forms a first inclined surface 26 on its surface facing the first accommodation space 25, and the second connection portion 31 forms a second inclined surface 36 on its surface facing the second accommodation space 35, and the first and second inclined surfaces 26, 36 abut against each other. It can be understood that when the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 are pressed respectively, the first and second inclined surfaces 26, 36 press against each other along the first direction, and mutual support and electrical connection are formed between the first connection portion 21 and the second connection portion 31, thereby improving contact stability and electrical connection stability. The first direction is parallel to the pressing direction of the electronic module, and the Z-axis direction in the figure is used as an example.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first and second connecting portions 21 and 31 are both U-shaped and include two vertical portions and a horizontal portion connecting the two vertical portions. The vertical portion of the first conductive member 20 is provided with a first inclined surface 26 , and the vertical portion of the second conductive member 30 is provided with a second inclined surface 36 .

[0039] Exemplarily, the first connecting portion 21 includes two first vertical portions 211 and a first horizontal portion 212 connecting the two first vertical portions 211. One of the first vertical portions 211 is connected to the first elastic arm portion 22, and the other first vertical portion 211 is connected to the first fixing portion 23.

[0040] The second connecting portion 31 includes two second vertical portions 311 and a second horizontal portion 312 connecting the two second vertical portions 311. One of the second vertical portions 311 is connected to the second elastic arm portion 32, and the other second vertical portion 311 is connected to the second fixing portion 33.

[0041] In the example of the present application, the first vertical portion 211 and the second vertical portion 311 are parallel to the first direction, the first horizontal portion 212 and the second horizontal portion 312 are parallel to the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The second direction is exemplified by the X-axis direction in the figure.

[0042] In some embodiments, the width of the first vertical portion 211 gradually shrinks toward the direction close to the first horizontal portion 212 to form a first inclined surface 26, so that the first vertical portion 211 forms the first inclined surface 26 on its surface facing the first accommodation space 25. The width of the second vertical portion 311 gradually shrinks toward the direction close to the second horizontal portion 312 to form a second inclined surface 36, so that the second vertical portion 311 forms the second inclined surface 36 on its surface facing the second accommodation space 35.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first elastic arm portion 22 includes a first outward-turned section 221, a first protruding section 222, and a first inward-folded section 223, wherein one end of the first outward-turned section 221 away from the first protruding section 222 is connected to the first connecting portion 21, and one end of the first inward-folded section 223 away from the first protruding section 222 forms the end of the first conductive member 20. The first protruding section 222 is used for contact with the electronic module. The first inward-folded section 223 is used for contacting the first extension portion 24.

[0044] Exemplarily, one end of the first outward-turned section 221 is connected to the first vertical portion 211, and the first outward-turned section 221 is bent relative to the first connecting portion 21 in a direction away from the first extending portion 24. The first protruding section 222 is connected to one end of the first outward-turned section 221 away from the first vertical portion 211, and the first protruding section 222 is bent relative to the first outward-turned section 221 in a direction close to the first extending portion 24. The first inward-folded section 223 is connected to one end of the first protruding section 222 away from the first outward-turned section 221, and the first inward-folded section 223 is bent relative to the first protruding section 222 in a direction close to the first extending portion 24.

[0045] It is worth noting that the above description is only based on the natural state of the first elastic arm 22. When the first elastic arm 22 is in the pressed state, the first elastic arm 22 may also undergo corresponding changes, and the present application does not limit this. The natural state is a state in which the first elastic arm 22 is not deformed by the electronic module. The pressed state is a state in which the first elastic arm 22 is deformed by the electronic module.

[0046] It can be understood that, through the bending arrangement between the first outward-turned section 221 and the first vertical section 211, the first elastic arm section 22 can be bent toward the first extension section 24 as a whole, so as to increase the deformation range of the first elastic arm section 22, so as to facilitate the first elastic arm section 22 to move toward the direction close to the first extension section 24 after being pressed by the electronic module. In addition, through the bending arrangement between the first outward-turned section 221 and the first protruding section 222, the first protruding section 222 can be protruded along the first direction, so as to facilitate the first protruding section 222 to contact the electronic module. In addition, through the bending arrangement between the first protruding section 222 and the first inward-folded section 223, the distance between the first inward-folded section 223 and the first extension section 24 can be shortened, so as to facilitate the first elastic arm section 22 to contact the first extension section 24 in time after being pressed by the electronic module.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connection between the first outward-turned section 221 and the first protruding section 222 is in an arc-shaped smooth transition. The end of the first inward-folded section 223 away from the first protruding section 222 is curved toward the first outward-turned section 221. This can reduce wear and tear and improve durability.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second elastic arm portion 32 includes a second outward-turned section 321, a second protruding section 322, and a second inward-folded section 323, wherein one end of the second outward-turned section 321 away from the second protruding section 322 is connected to the second connecting portion 31, and one end of the second inward-folded section 323 away from the second protruding section 322 forms the end of the second conductive member 30. The second protruding section 322 is used for contacting the electronic module. The second inward-folded section 323 is used for contacting the second extension portion 34.

[0049] Exemplarily, one end of the second outward-turned section 321 is connected to the second supporting section 311, and the second outward-turned section 321 is bent relative to the second connecting portion 31 in a direction away from the second extending portion 34. The second protruding section 322 is connected to one end of the second outward-turned section 321 away from the second supporting section 311, and the second protruding section 322 is bent relative to the second outward-turned section 321 in a direction close to the second extending portion 34. The second inward-folded section 323 is connected to one end of the second protruding section 322 away from the second outward-turned section 321, and the second inward-folded section 323 is bent relative to the second protruding section 322 in a direction close to the second extending portion 34.

[0050] It is worth noting that the above description is only based on the natural state of the second elastic arm portion 32. When the second elastic arm portion 32 is in the pressed state, the second elastic arm portion 32 may also undergo corresponding changes, and the present application does not limit this. The natural state is a state in which the second elastic arm portion 32 is not deformed by the electronic module. The pressed state is a state in which the second elastic arm portion 32 is deformed by the electronic module.

[0051] It can be understood that, through the bending setting between the second outward-turned section 321 and the second supporting section 311, the second elastic arm portion 32 can be bent toward the second extension portion 34 as a whole, so as to increase the deformation range of the second elastic arm portion 32, so as to facilitate the second elastic arm portion 32 to move toward the direction close to the second extension portion 34 after being pressed by the electronic module. In addition, through the bending setting between the second outward-turned section 321 and the second protruding section 322, the second protruding section 322 can be protruded along the first direction, so as to facilitate the second protruding section 322 to contact the electronic module. In addition, through the bending setting between the second protruding section 322 and the second inward-folded section 323, the distance between the second inward-folded section 323 and the second extension portion 34 can be shortened, so as to facilitate the second elastic arm portion 32 to contact the second extension portion 34 in time after being pressed by the electronic module.

[0052] In some embodiments, the connection between the second outward-turned section 321 and the second protruding section 322 is in an arc-shaped smooth transition. The end of the second inward-folded section 323 away from the second protruding section 322 is curved toward the second outward-turned section 321. This can reduce wear and tear and improve durability.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 24 is extended along the first direction, and the first extension portion 24 is formed by extending upward from the first fixing portion 23. The first fixing portion 23 is connected to the first fixing section 212, and the first extension portion 24 is contacted by the first inward folding section 223. The first fixing portion 23 and the first elastic arm portion 22 are respectively provided with a downward first stop surface 27, and the first stop surface 27 is located beside the first connecting portion 21. The second connecting portion 31 is blocked below the first stop surface 27.

[0054] In some embodiments, the width of the first fixing portion 23 is greater than that of the first extending portion 24 , and the width of the first connecting portion 21 is less than that of the first extending portion 24 , so that the first fixing portion 23 can be inserted and fixed in the fixing groove 2032 .

[0055] In some embodiments, the first fixing portion 23 includes a first protrusion 231 and a second protrusion 232 on both sides thereof. The height of the first protrusion 231 is smaller than that of the second protrusion 232 , and the height direction is parallel to the first direction. The first blocking surface 27 is adjacent to the second protrusion 232 .

[0056] Please also see Figure 7 Two fixing grooves 2032 are disposed inside the insulating body 200. The two fixing grooves 2032 are respectively opened on the two side groove walls of the terminal groove 203. The first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 232 can be respectively inserted and fixed in the two fixing grooves 2032.

[0057] It can be understood that the fixing groove 2032 can limit the first conductive member 20 along the second direction and the width direction respectively through the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 232, so that the first conductive member 20 can be stably disposed in the insulating body 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second extension portion 34 is extended along the first direction, and the second extension portion 34 is formed by extending upward from the second fixing portion 33. The second fixing portion 33 is connected to the second fixing section 312, and the second extension portion 34 is contacted by the second inward folding section 323. The second fixing portion 33 and the second elastic arm portion 32 are respectively provided with a downward second stop surface 37, and the second stop surface 37 is located beside the second connecting portion 31. The first connecting portion 21 is blocked above the second stop surface 37.

[0059] In some embodiments, the width of the second fixing portion 33 is greater than the width of the second extension portion 34, and the width of the second connecting portion 31 is less than the width of the second extension portion 34, so that the second fixing portion 33 can be inserted and fixed in the fixing groove 2032. It can be understood that the first fixing portion 23 and the second fixing portion 33 can be inserted into the fixing groove 2032 from both ends of the insulating body 200, respectively.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second fixing portion 33 includes a first protrusion 331 and a second protrusion 332 on both sides thereof, the height of the first protrusion 331 is less than the height of the second protrusion 332, the height direction is parallel to the first direction, and the second blocking surface 37 is adjacent to the second protrusion 332. The first protrusion 331 and the second protrusion 332 can be respectively inserted and fixed in the two fixing grooves 2032.

[0061] It can be understood that the fixing groove 2032 can limit the second conductive member 30 along the second direction and the width direction respectively through the first protrusion 331 and the second protrusion 332, so that the second conductive member 30 can be stably disposed in the insulating body 200. At the same time, the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 are limited to each other along the first direction to achieve all-round limit fixation.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 have the same structure. Exemplarily, the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 are centrally symmetrical, and the center of symmetry is located on a straight line (i.e., Figure 5 Thus, the terminal 100 is equivalent to being composed of two conductive clips of the same structure that are inverted and combined with each other, and the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30 can adopt the same structure, which simplifies the production process of a single conductive member 10 and reduces the manufacturing cost.
