Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of connectors, and particularly to a wiring connector. Background Art
[0002] As a core component for current and signal transmission in electronic devices, the quality of a wiring connector is crucial for ensuring the stability and performance of electronic device operation. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the types and application fields of wiring connectors continue to expand, covering multiple key fields such as computers, communication devices, automotive electronics, medical devices, industrial automation, aerospace, and military equipment, becoming an indispensable building block of modern electronic devices.
[0003] In the wave of technological innovation in wiring connectors, the utility model patent with the publication number CN212062767U proposed an innovative vertical or horizontal connector design. This connector achieves efficient and stable electrical connection through a precisely designed plastic part and plastic housing plug-in structure, combined with a unique contact pin and terminal wire harness connection method. In particular, the contact pin adopts a vertical or horizontal installation structure, and a U-shaped opening is cleverly set to firmly hold the terminal wire harness. At the same time, the terminal guide groove and support block design of the plastic housing further enhance the reliability of the connection.
[0004] However, when deeply evaluating this technical solution, we noticed a potential improvement point. Specifically, although this design can exhibit good connection performance under normal conditions, in the face of extreme usage conditions such as external tensile forces, the relevant hook fixing mechanism may appear to have insufficient tensile resistance. Long-term or sudden external forces may cause permanent deformation of the hook, thereby weakening the connection tightness between the wire harness and the plastic housing, ultimately affecting the overall performance and service life of the connector, and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a wiring connector to solve the problem that the internal hook of the wiring terminal structure may be permanently deformed when subjected to external traction in the above related technologies, resulting in weak tensile resistance and affecting the subsequent use performance of the wiring terminal.
[0006] A wiring connector provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A wiring connector includes a plastic housing body and a plurality of wiring terminals. The wiring terminals include a connecting portion connected to a cable and a plugging portion fixedly provided on one side of the connecting portion.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plugging portion is inserted into the installation cavity, after overcoming the extrusion force of the support plate, the support plate is slightly deformed, and then the locking buckle can be snapped into the locking notch along the guiding inclined surface; when an external force removes the plugging portion from the installation cavity, the retaining surface abuts tightly against the inner wall of the locking notch for limiting, and this fixing method makes the tensile performance of the plugging portion stronger.
[0009] Optionally, one side of the support plate is attached to the outer side surface of the plugging portion.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is used to further limit the plugging portion in the installation cavity, improving the assembly stability of the wiring terminal and the plastic housing body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the wiring terminal and the plastic housing body are installed, due to the arrangement of the guiding card strip and the guiding notch, the guiding card strip is inserted into the corresponding guiding notch, improving the installation stability of the plugging portion.
[0013] Optionally, the guiding card strip and the locking buckle are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is avoided that the locking buckle coincides and abuts against the guiding card strip when locking and plugging, and the space in the installation cavity is more reasonably arranged.
[0015] Optionally, a guiding inclined surface is provided on the side edge of the guiding card strip facing the opening of the installation cavity.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the arrangement of the guiding inclined surface, it is convenient for the plugging portion to slide along the guiding inclined surface towards the direction close to the guiding card strip, and the guiding card strip can be better inserted into the guiding notch.
[0017] Optionally, a relief sink is formed on the side of the guiding strip facing the inner wall of the guiding notch.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the provision of the relief sink, the raw materials required for the production of the plastic shell body are saved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0019] Optionally, an extended positioning piece is fixedly provided on the edge of the end of the insertion part far from the connection part.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the provision of the extended positioning piece, the contact area between the insertion part and the guiding strip is increased, and the assembly stability of the plastic shell body and the wiring terminal is improved.
[0021] Optionally, a positioning inclined surface is provided on the edge of the side of the extended positioning piece far from the insertion part.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for the extended positioning piece to slide along the positioning inclined surface to the fitting surface with the guiding strip.
[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. When the insertion part is inserted into the installation cavity, after overcoming the extrusion force of the support plate, the support plate is slightly deformed, and then the locking buckle can be snapped into the locking notch along the guiding inclined surface; when an external force removes the insertion part from the installation cavity, the anti-withdrawal surface abuts against the inner wall of the locking notch for limiting, and this fixing method makes the tensile property of the insertion part stronger.
