[0006] A terminal, the terminal is fixed inside the connector housing, and the terminal is based on a terminal body. A first lead-out end is connected to the bottom end of the terminal body, and a second lead-out end is connected to the top end.

[0007] A vehicle part terminal, an inner hole is reserved at the bottom end of the vehicle part terminal, and the vehicle part terminal is press riveted outside the second lead-out end through the inner hole.

[0008] Further, the second lead-out end extends into the connector housing, and the first lead-out end extends outside the connector housing.

[0009] Further, the cross-section of the second lead-out end is a regular polygon structure, the cross-section of the inner hole is a circular structure, and the cross-section of the first lead-out end is a square structure.

[0010] Further, the connector housing includes a base, and mounting holes are reserved on both sides of the base.

[0011] Further, a plug-in shell is integrally connected to the middle of the base, and a clamping hole is reserved on the side wall of the plug-in shell.

[0012] Further, an annular groove is reserved at the top end of the base and around the plug-in shell, and a waterproof rubber ring is arranged inside the annular groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector housing is made of plastic material.

[0014] The present utility model provides an automotive headlight connector with a novel structure. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the terminal structure arranged inside the automotive headlight connector with this novel structure, both the first lead-out end and the second lead-out end can achieve movable contact with other elastic sheet terminals. Compared with the connection methods such as using screws and buckles in the prior art, this connector is more convenient to disassemble and is easy to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-7, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a car headlight connector with a new structure, which is composed of a connector housing 1, terminals 2 and vehicle part terminals 3. Among them, the connector housing 1 is made of MOLDING plastic material, and the connector housing 1 is wrapped around the outside of the terminals 2 by injection molding;

[0026] The connector housing 1 is based on a base 11. An insertion shell 13 is integrally connected to the upper part of the base 11. The insertion shell 13 is a hollow structure. Installation holes 12 are reserved on both sides of the base 11 and can be locked with screws to better fix the product. A clamping hole 14 is reserved on the side wall of the insertion shell 13 to form a self-locking structure with the buckle of the mating end to prevent the two from loosening. A circular groove 15 is reserved at the top of the base 11 and around the insertion shell 13. A waterproof rubber ring is arranged inside the circular groove 15 to enable the connector to achieve a waterproof function;

[0027] There are two groups of terminals 2, and each group is composed of a terminal body 21, a first lead-out end 22, and a second lead-out end 23. Among them, the terminal body 21 is a "U" - shaped structure. The first lead-out end 22 and the second lead-out end 23 are integrally connected to the top and bottom of the terminal body 21 respectively. An inner hole 31 is reserved at the bottom of the vehicle part terminal 3. The vehicle part terminal 3 is press - riveted to the outside of the second lead - out end 23 through the inner hole 31. The cross - section of the second lead - out end 23 is a regular polygon structure, the cross - section of the inner hole 31 is a circular structure, and the cross - section of the first lead - out end 22 is a square structure (the thickness of the first lead - out end 22 is thinned to form a square cross - section with equal material thickness and material width, which can achieve good and stable contact with the elastic sheet terminal of the mating end). The second lead - out end 23 extends vertically into the insertion shell 13. When the vehicle part terminal 3 is riveted to the outside of the second lead - out end 23, during the process of riveting the polygon and the circle together, due to the shape, the circular inner hole 31 will undergo a corresponding deformation, so that the riveting is more firm (utilizing the matching relationship formed by the inner hole 31 of the vehicle part terminal 3 and the second lead - out end 23, being riveted into one body. The smooth cylindrical structure of the vehicle part terminal 3 can achieve good and stable contact with the elastic sheet terminal of the mating end).
