[0062] The detailed description and technical content of this application are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0063] This application provides an electrical connector and its clamping terminals, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the electrical connector includes at least one pair of clamping terminals. Figures 1 to 6 The first embodiment of the clamping terminal 100a is shown, as follows: Figures 7 to 9 The following is a second embodiment of the clamping terminal 100b.
[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electrical connector of this application can be used for plugging in the plug terminal 900 (see...). Figure 6 The female connector includes a carrier 600a and at least a pair of clamping terminals 100a. The carrier 600a has two conductive plates 6 spaced apart from each other and arranged side by side.
[0065] The clamping terminal 100a includes a main beam 1, a spring arm assembly 2, and a fixing structure 5a. The main beam 1 has a length, and therefore the main beam 1 has a length direction L defined according to its length.
[0066] The spring arm assembly 2 is defined with a first elastic abutment direction D1 and a second elastic abutment direction D2 that are opposite to each other. In addition to being able to elastically abut against the plug terminal 900 in the first elastic abutment direction D1, the spring arm assembly 2 is also preferably able to elastically abut against the conductive plate 6 in the second elastic abutment direction D2.
[0067] The spring arm assembly 2 includes a plurality of first spring arms 21 and a plurality of second spring arms 22. The plurality of first spring arms 21 are connected to the main beam 1 at intervals along the length direction L, so as to form a gap space P between any two adjacent first spring arms 21, and each second spring arm 22 is connected to the main beam 1 along the length direction L corresponding to each gap space P.
[0068] Fixed structure 5a is connected to main beam 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first elastic arm 21 can preferably form the aforementioned gap space P between itself and the fixed structure 5a, so the second elastic arm 22 can also be formed in the gap space P between the first elastic arm 21 and the fixed structure 5a and connected to the main beam 1.
[0069] In addition to having a contact portion T1 for abutting the plug-in terminal 900, each first spring arm 21 and each second spring arm 22 preferably also has another contact portion T2 for abutting the conductive plate 6. In order for each first spring arm 21 and each second spring arm 22 to have a contact portion T1 and another contact portion T2, any adjacent first spring arms 21 and second spring arms 22 intersect each other in the length direction L, for example, intersecting in an X shape.
[0070] In detail, the main beam 1 has two long sides (component symbols not marked) facing each other. Each first elastic arm 21 and each second elastic arm 22 has a first segment S1 and a second segment S2. One end of all first segments S1 is obliquely connected to one of the long sides, and one end of all second segments S2 is obliquely connected to the other long side. Each first segment S1 of each first elastic arm 21 and each second segment S2 of each second elastic arm 22 has a contact portion T1, and by means of the aforementioned X-shaped or oblique connection, all contact portions T1 protrude relative to the main beam 1 in the aforementioned first elastic abutment direction D1. Each second segment S2 of each first elastic arm 21 and each first segment S1 of each second elastic arm 22 has another contact portion T2, and by means of the aforementioned X-shaped or oblique connection, all other contact portions T2 protrude relative to the main beam 1 in the aforementioned second elastic abutment direction D2.
[0071] Two pairs of clamping terminals 100a are symmetrically fixed to two conductive plates 6 by their fixing structures 5a, and the two clamping terminals 100a after fixing form a gap as shown in the figure. Figure 5 The clamping space C is shown. At this time, between the two pairs of clamping terminals 100a, all the contact portions T1 of one clamping terminal 100a and all the contact portions T1 of the other clamping terminal 100a face each other; as for all the other contact portions T2 of one clamping terminal 100a and all the other contact portions T2 of the other clamping terminal 100a, they elastically abut against the inner surfaces of the two conductive plates 6 (component symbols are not shown).
[0072] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the plug terminal 900 is inserted into the clamping space C, such that all the first spring arms 21 and all the second spring arms 22 of one clamping terminal 100a elastically abut against one side of the plug terminal 900 with their contact portions T1, and all the first spring arms 21 and all the second spring arms 22 of the other clamping terminal 100a elastically abut against the other side of the plug terminal 900 with their contact portions T1 (one side and the other side of the plug terminal 900 are opposite to each other). In other words, the plug terminal 900 is elastically clamped by the two clamping terminals 100a in pairs.
[0073] In this way, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the clamping terminal 100a of this application can form a multi-contact design for making contact (the multi-contact includes multiple contact portions T1 for abutting the plug terminal 900 and multiple other contact portions T2 for abutting the conductive plate 6), and can also fix a corresponding number of clamping terminals 100a according to the length of the conductive plate 6. For example, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, three pairs of clamping terminals 100a are fixed side by side on the carrier 600a along the length of the conductive plate 6. Therefore, it has the effect that for carriers 600a of different specifications and sizes (different lengths of conductive plate 6), only the clamping terminals 100a of the same size of this application need to be manufactured (equivalent to manufacturing a standardized component), so that it can be used for carriers 600a of various specifications and sizes. It is no longer necessary to manufacture different clamping terminals for carriers 600a of different specifications and sizes, and the cost is greatly reduced.
[0074] It should be noted that if the width of the conductive plate 6 changes, the main beam 1 of the clamping terminal 100a can be lengthened or shortened accordingly. The number of the first spring arm 21 and the second spring arm 22 also needs to be increased or decreased accordingly, thus greatly improving the applicability of the clamping terminal 100a of this application.
[0075] In addition, such as Figure 2 and paired Figure 1 As shown, by means of the above structure, all contact portions T1 of the clamping terminal 100a of this application can form a plurality of first triangular contact groups TA1 composed of three contacts (three contact portions T1). Figure 2 (Only one set is shown for illustration), and all the other contact parts T2 can form multiple triangular second triangular contact groups TA2 composed of three contacts (three other contact parts T2). Figure 2 (Only one set is marked for illustration), therefore it has the effect of more stable and balanced force.
[0076] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the aforementioned fixing structure 5a of the clamping terminal 100a in this application can be any structure that can be fixed on the conductive plate 6. In this embodiment, the fixing structure 5a is described as having two fixing members 51. The two fixing members 51 are respectively connected to the two ends of the main beam 1, and the two fixing members 51 of each fixing structure 5a are respectively fixed to the two opposite sides of each conductive plate 6.
[0077] In detail, the two fasteners 51 of the fixing structure 5a are symmetrically connected to both ends of the main beam 1. Each fastener 51 has a first clamping plate 511, a second clamping plate 512, and a connecting plate 513 that are bent into a U-shape. The width of the connecting plate 513 corresponds to the thickness of the conductive plate 6, and its two opposite sides are respectively connected to one side of the first clamping plate 511 and one side of the second clamping plate 512, so that the first clamping plate 511 and the second clamping plate 512 are spaced apart and arranged side by side with the connecting plate 513 between them. The first clamping plate 511 and the second clamping plate 512 correspond to the two opposite surfaces of the conductive plate 6, and the length of the second clamping plate 512 in the longitudinal direction L is greater than that of the first clamping plate 511. The two ends of the main beam 1 are respectively connected to the other side of the first clamping plate 511 of the two fasteners 51. It should be noted that the clamping terminal 100a is elastically abutted against the inner side of the conductive plate 6 by all the other contact portions T2, so that the second clamping plate 512 and all the other contact portions T2 are clamped together on the two opposite sides of the conductive plate 6. At the same time, because the other contact portions T2 are elastically abutted against the conductive plate 6, the fixing member 51 can elastically clamp the conductive plate 6.
[0078] It should be noted that in other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the fastener 51 may not have a first clamping plate 511, that is, it may only have a second clamping plate 512 and a connecting plate 513 that are bent into an L-shape with each other. The connecting plate 513 is connected between the main beam 1 and the second clamping plate 512. The main beam 1 and the second clamping plate 512 are spaced apart and arranged side by side. The two ends of the main beam 1 are respectively connected to one side of the two connecting plates 513. In this way, the second clamping plate 512 and all the other contact parts T2 can also be clamped together on the two opposite sides of the conductive plate 6.
[0079] like Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 As shown, to enhance the fixing strength of the fastener 51, the conductive plate 6 is provided with a first fixing component F1, and the fixing structure 5a is provided with a second fixing component F2 (or vice versa). The first fixing component F1 and the second fixing component F2 can be fixed to each other. In detail, the first fixing component F1 includes at least two locking blocks 61 protruding from the outer side of the conductive plate 6, and one side of the locking block 61 forms a slope 611. The second fixing component F2 includes at least two fastening holes 5121 opened in the second clamping plate 512, and each locking block 61 can be fastened to each fastening hole 5121.
[0080] In this process, due to the reaction force of all other contact parts T2 elastically abutting against the inner side of the conductive plate 6, the second clamping plate 512 can be elastically pressed against the outer side of the conductive plate 6. In addition, the ramps 611 of all the clips 61 protruding from the outer side face the direction in which the clamping terminal 100a is to be fixed. Therefore, when the clamping terminal 100a is fixed to the conductive plate 6 by its fixing structure 5a, the second clamping plate 512 will be elastically supported by the ramps 611. This facilitates the smooth locking of each clip 61 into each snap hole 5121 during the process of pushing the clamping terminal 100a, thus achieving the goal of fixing the clamping terminal 100a to the conductive plate 6 by its fixing structure 5a.
[0081] Furthermore, when the electrical connector of this application includes at least two pairs of clamping terminals 100a, at least two clamping terminals 100a on each conductive plate 6 will be adjacent to each other side-by-side with their second clamping plates 512, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this allows any two adjacent clamping terminals 100a to be positioned relative to each other using side-by-side adjacent second clamping plates 512.
[0082] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the clamping terminal 100b of this application. The second embodiment is generally the same as the first embodiment described above, except that the clamping terminal 100b includes at least two main beams 1, at least two spring arm assemblies 2 and a fixing structure 5b. At least two spring arm assemblies 2 are defined with a first abutting direction D1 and a second abutting direction D2 that are opposite to each other.
[0083] At least two spring arm assemblies 2 have the same structure as in the first embodiment, and at least two main beams 1 also have the same structure as in the first embodiment. The way in which each spring arm assembly 2 is connected to the main beam 1 is also the same as in the first embodiment. Any two adjacent main beams 1 are spaced apart and arranged side by side. All main beams 1 are connected by the same fixing structure 5b, and the fixing structure 5b is different only in that its length is greater than that of the first embodiment. The rest of the structure of the fixing structure 5b is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0084] The carrier 600b also has two conductive plates 6 identical to those in the first embodiment, except that the length of the conductive plates 6 in the second embodiment is greater than that in the first embodiment.
[0085] Therefore, when fixing it to a longer conductive plate 6, it can be fixed with a smaller number of clamping terminals 100b, that is, it can be fixed as follows: Figure 9 As shown, two pairs of clamping terminals 100b of the second embodiment are fixed side by side adjacent to each other on the carrier 600b along the length of the conductive plate 6, instead of fixing four pairs of clamping terminals 100a of the first embodiment.
[0086] Furthermore, the second embodiment of the clamping terminal 100b of this application also has all the effects of the first embodiment described above.
[0087] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, only one clamping terminal 100b of the second embodiment may be fixed on each conductive plate 6 of the carrier 600b, without the need to fix two clamping terminals 100a of the first embodiment side by side.
[0088] In summary, the electrical connector and its clamping terminals of this application can indeed achieve the intended use and effect, and can solve the shortcomings of the prior art. Therefore, this patent application is filed.
[0089] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the scope of this application. All equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of this application are also included within the scope of this application and are hereby declared.
