Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PIN pins, in particular to a PIN pin with a multi-contact structure. Background Technique

[0002] A PIN pin is a metal substance used to complete the conductive transmission of electrical signals in a connector. It can also be regarded as the pin used for conducting electricity or transmitting electrical signals in various electronic components, such as the pins of SMT components, plug-in resistors, capacitors, switches, etc. The material of the PIN pin is mainly "tungsten carbide" raw material, that is, cemented carbide. This material has high hardness, strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is known as the "industrial tooth". As a key component for the normal use of the connector, its perfect processing technology and strict quality control are crucial for ensuring the stable transmission, good contact and proper insertion of the electronic connector. During the use of the PIN pin, in order to facilitate its unified management and adjustment, several required PIN pins are often arranged in a row for installation.

[0003] However, during the production process of the connector, each PIN pin will have a certain manufacturing tolerance, which may lead to slight differences in dimensions such as length and diameter of the PIN pin. These slight dimensional differences may cause the PIN pins not to be neatly arranged during assembly, or the number of PIN pins used cannot be accurately controlled. When the number of PIN pins cannot be accurately controlled, it may lead to mismatching of the contact points between the connector and the socket, thereby reducing the connection stability. The uneven arrangement of the PIN pins may cause uneven pressure distribution between the contact points, resulting in some contact points bearing excessive pressure while other contact points may have poor contact. This will increase the contact resistance, reduce the efficiency and quality of signal transmission, and may even cause overheating and damage to electronic components. Content of the Utility Model
