Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a universal energy storage connector. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are commonly used connectors in cable connection work. Different cables are electrically connected through two different connections. Connectors generally include a plug assembly and a socket assembly. The socket assembly can extend into the plug assembly to electrically connect the male terminal to the cable.

[0003] When using connectors, during the wiring process, the connection direction between the terminal and the cable does not remain constant, and often needs to be adjusted as the environment changes. However, the position of the cable inlet of the connector between the terminal and the cable is fixed. Therefore, the cable may bend or get stuck because the connector cannot change with the angle. After a long period of bending and getting stuck, the cable may break or the connector may be damaged. In order to solve this problem, a connector that can adjust the cable interface angle is needed.
