Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] An automotive multi-terminal connector, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a shell 1, and one end of the shell 1 is provided with multiple groups of connection ports 2, and the other end is provided with multiple groups of installation ports 15, the multiple groups of installation ports 15 are respectively connected with the multiple groups of connection ports 2, and terminals are plugged into the multiple groups of installation ports 15. Side ports 5 are provided on both sides of the shell 1, a snap-on component is fixedly connected to one side of the shell 1, and a sealing strip 3 is snap-on at one end of the shell 1, and the multiple groups of connection ports 2 are all located in the sealing strip 3.

[0025] The connection port 2 of the shell 1 is convenient for plugging and connecting an external connector with the present connector. The inner wall of the installation port 15 fits with the side wall of the terminal, and water does not enter between the inner wall of the installation port 15 and the terminal. A sealing strip 3 is installed at one end of the shell 1 where the connection port 2 is opened. The sealing strip 3 is not easy to move against the shell 1, so that there is no gap between the connector and the external connector when the connector is in use, thereby avoiding water ingress damage to the connector and reducing the loss caused by water ingress into the car.

[0026] The plurality of connection ports 2 are arranged in a rectangular array, and the shapes of the plurality of connection ports 2 are all set to be rectangular, and the shape of the sealing strip 3 is set to be rectangular.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of groups of connection ports 2 are arranged in two rows, and the connection ports 2 in each row are arranged in an orderly manner. The rectangular connection ports 2 facilitate plug-in connection between an external connector and the connector.

[0028] The sealing strip 3 is made of rubber material, and a mounting strip 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing strip 3 . A mounting groove 4 is opened at one end of the shell 1 . The mounting groove 4 is located at one side of the connecting port 2 , and the mounting strip 7 is snap-fitted with the mounting groove 4 .

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the sealing strip 3 made of rubber material has good elasticity, insulation and corrosion resistance, and the mounting strip 7 is installed in the mounting groove 4, so that the sealing strip 3 is installed on the housing 1 and prevents the sealing strip 3 from moving.

[0030] Both ends of the sealing strip 3 are fixedly connected with fixing blocks 8 , and the two groups of fixing blocks 8 are respectively engaged with the two groups of side openings 5 ​​. The fixing blocks 8 are made of rubber material, and the side walls of the fixing blocks 8 fit with the inner walls of the side openings 5 ​​.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the fixing block 8 fills the side opening 5 to prevent water from entering the housing 1 through the side opening 5 .

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the rounded block 14 facilitates the extrusion deformation of the plug board 12, and the tilting block 9 not only prevents external components from directly extruding the shell 1 from both sides of the shell 1, but also can be connected with the external connector by snapping, further increasing the connector plugging stability.

[0036] The working principle of the automotive multi-terminal connector provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0037] The connection port 2 of the shell 1 facilitates plug-in connection between an external connector and the connector, the inner wall of the mounting port 15 fits with the side wall of the terminal, and water does not enter between the inner wall of the mounting port 15 and the terminal. A sealing strip 3 is installed at one end of the shell 1 where the connection port 2 is opened, and the sealing strip 3 is not easy to move against the shell 1, so that there is no gap between the connector and the external connector when the connector is in use, thereby avoiding water ingress damage to the connector and reducing the loss caused by water ingress to the car.

[0038] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model.
