Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an electric connection module, comprising a connector of the electric connection module and a connector assembly comprising the connector. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the power supply unit and the metal bar of the cabinet of the data center are electrically connected through a connector. In order to improve the current transmission capacity of the connector, in the prior art, the terminals of the connector usually adopt multi-layer staggered overlapping terminals, that is, the terminals include a plurality of terminal stacks stacked up and down. Each terminal stack is not only used to transmit current, but also has an elastic structure for providing elastic contact force, which leads to a complex structure of the terminal stack and difficulty in manufacturing, and also leads to excessive insertion force when inserting the mating terminal. Generally, the insertion force of the mating terminal is proportional to the cube of the thickness of the connector terminal.
[0003] In the prior art, a single connection plate is usually connected to the rear end of each terminal, and the terminal can be electrically connected to an electrical transmission member through the single connection plate, for example, to a connection end of a bus bar or a wire harness. The front end of each terminal is used to make electrical contact with a mating terminal. Since there is only a single connection plate at the rear end of each terminal of the existing connector, the current carrying capacity of the connector is poor, and there are also problems of poor heat dissipation and temperature rise. In addition, since there is only a single connection plate at the rear end of each terminal, the connector cannot be applied to a specific situation, reducing the versatility of the connector.
