[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides an interface connector assembly, which includes: a female socket and a male plug, the female socket having a plurality of power interfaces 1 and a plurality of high-speed high-frequency interfaces 2, the male plug having a plurality of power terminals 3 and a plurality of high-speed high-frequency terminals 4, the plurality of power terminals 3 being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of power interfaces 1, and the power terminals 3 being able to be plugged into and matched with the power interfaces 1, the plurality of high-speed high-frequency terminals 4 being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of high-speed high-frequency interfaces 2, and the high-speed high-frequency terminals 4 being able to be plugged into and matched with the high-speed high-frequency interfaces 2. Such an arrangement adopts a multifunctional design, integrating the power interface 1 and the high-speed high-frequency interface 2 in the same connector, that is, integrating the power supply and high-speed data transmission functions in a limited space, optimizing the system architecture, realizing efficient coordinated transmission of power and signals, enhancing its compatibility, versatility and reliability, improving transmission efficiency, and being suitable for the requirements of intelligent and highly integrated electronic systems.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of power interfaces 1 is two, the number of high-speed and high-frequency interfaces 2 is eight, the two power interfaces 1 are arranged at intervals, and the center line connecting the two power interfaces 1 is used as the axis. The eight high-speed and high-frequency interfaces 2 are evenly divided into two groups, and the two groups of high-speed and high-frequency interfaces 2 are arranged symmetrically about the axis.

[0039] Optionally, in order to ensure a tight fit between the male end shell 6 and the female end shell 5 and improve the reliability and stability during plugging and unplugging, the female socket includes a female end shell 5, and several power interfaces 1 and several high-speed and high-frequency interfaces 2 are all opened in the female end shell 5. The male plug includes a male end shell 6, and the male end shell 6 has a socket and a plug-in slot connected to the socket, and the plug-in slot can be plugged and matched with the female end shell 5.

[0040] Optionally, the male plug further includes a PCB board 7, with one end of the power terminal 3 protruding from the plug socket and electrically connected to the PCB board 7. One end of the high-speed, high-frequency terminal 4 protruding from the plug socket and electrically connected to the PCB board 7. The other end of the power terminal 3 is positioned within the plug socket and plugs into and mates with the power interface 1. The other end of the high-speed, high-frequency terminal 4 is positioned within the plug socket and plugs into and mates with the high-speed, high-frequency interface 2. This arrangement, through direct electrical connection of the power terminal 3 and the high-speed, high-frequency terminal 4 to the PCB board 7, reduces the intermediate links in traditional cable connections, optimizes the transmission path, reduces impedance discontinuity and signal loss, and improves the integrity of high-speed signals.

[0041] It should be noted that the PCB can adopt a multi-layer design to separate the power layer from the signal layer to avoid interference of large current on high-frequency signals.

[0042] Optionally, the male plug further includes a protective plate 8 having a plurality of first and second through-holes defined therein. The plurality of power terminals 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first through-holes, with the power terminals 3 exposed outside the insertion slot and provided with the first through-holes. The plurality of high-speed and high-frequency terminals 4 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second through-holes, with the high-speed and high-frequency terminals 4 exposed outside the insertion slot and provided with the second through-holes. This arrangement ensures that the first and second through-holes on the protective plate 8 precisely position the exposed portions of the power terminals 3 and high-speed and high-frequency terminals 4, ensuring that they are accurately inserted into corresponding positions on the PCB 7. Furthermore, the protective plate 8 effectively protects the exposed portions of the power terminals 3 and high-speed and high-frequency terminals 4, further preventing them from skewing.

[0043] Optionally, in order to achieve a compact structural design and further improve space utilization, the protection plate 8 is supported on the PCB board 7 .

[0044] Optionally, a buckle 9 is provided on the inner wall of the plug-in slot, and a slot 10 is provided on the female housing 5, and the buckle 9 can be engaged with the slot 10. In this way, the engagement between the buckle 9 and the slot 10 can form a mechanical interlock, thereby preventing the female housing 5 and the male housing 6 from accidentally falling off.

[0045] Optionally, in order to avoid relative rotation between the female shell 5 and the male shell 6 during insertion and thus damage to the power terminal 3 and the high-speed high-frequency terminal 4, the inner wall of the plug-in slot is also provided with a limiting protrusion, and the outer wall of the female shell 5 is recessed with a limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion can be inserted into the limiting groove to limit the rotation of the female shell 5 relative to the plug-in slot.

[0046] Optionally, both the female housing 5 and the male housing 6 are made of plastic material. Further, both the female housing 5 and the male housing 6 are made of high-strength engineering plastic (such as PBT / PA66) or metal shielding shell to ensure mechanical strength and anti-electromagnetic interference capability.

[0047] Optionally, in order to ensure uniform stress distribution and improve the deformation resistance of the structure, the cross-section of the female end shell 5 is circular, and the circular shell naturally forms a uniform electromagnetic shielding layer, which can effectively reduce the radiation interference of high-frequency signals.

[0048] Optionally, the power terminal 3 and the high-speed high-frequency terminal 4 are both 90-degree bent or straight, and can be specifically configured according to actual needs, which is not further limited here.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
