[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a perspective view of the electrical connector terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 2 is a sectional view of the insertion housing 110 of the electrical connector terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. In Figure 1 and Figure 2Among them, the electrical connector terminal 100 includes a mating housing 110. The mating housing 110 of the electrical connector terminal 100 has a mating socket 112, a limiting member 114 away from the mating socket 112, and an elastic member 116 adjacent to but separated from the limiting member 114. For example, the mating socket 112 and the limiting member 114 of the mating housing 110 are located on opposite sides, and the elastic member 116 of the mating housing 110 is located between the mating socket 112 and the limiting member 114. The elastic member 116 of the mating housing 110 includes a first portion 1161 inclined with respect to the length direction D2 of the mating housing 110, a second portion 1162 extending in the upright direction D1, and a third portion 1163 extending in the length direction D2 of the mating housing 110. The upright direction D1 is perpendicular to the length direction D2.
[0058] In some embodiments, the second portion 1162 of the elastic member 116 is connected between the first portion 1161 and the third portion 1163. It should be noted that the second portion 1162 and the third portion 1163 of the elastic member 116 present an L shape. The limiting member 114 of the mating housing 110 includes a limiting portion 1142 extending in the length direction D2 of the mating housing 110 and an auxiliary portion 1144 inclined toward the first portion 1161 of the elastic member 116. The limiting portion 1142 of the limiting member 114 is connected to the auxiliary portion 1144 of the limiting member 114. The auxiliary portion 1144 of the limiting member 114 is used to abut against the end of the first portion 1161 of the elastic member 116.
[0059] In some embodiments, the mating housing 110 has a contact member 118. The contact member 118 of the mating housing 110 is located between the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110 and the elastic member 116 of the mating housing 110. In addition, the auxiliary portion 1144 of the limiting member 114 of the mating housing 110 further has a bent portion 1145 bent toward the contact member 118. The bent portion 1145 of the auxiliary portion 1144 is bent toward the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110. The contact member 118 of the mating housing 110 has a first convex portion 1182 protruding away from the bent portion 1145, that is to say, the contact member 118 has a first convex portion 1182 protruding toward the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110. It should be noted that the first convex portion 1182 protruding toward the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110 of the contact member 118 is separated from the bent portion 1145 bent toward the contact member 118 of the auxiliary portion 1144 to define a moving space A1 for the first convex portion 1182 to move in the upright direction D1.
[0060] In some embodiments, the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110, the contact member 118, and the limiting member 114 define a space for the conductive male pin 300 (in Figure 6Description) The inserted mating space A2. Specifically, the mating port 112 of the mating housing 110 can be used to receive the male conductive pin 300, so that the tip of the male conductive pin 300 enters the mating space A2. After the tip of the male conductive pin 300 enters the mating space A2, the first convex portion 1182 of the abutting member 118 protruding toward the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110 can be used to abut against the male conductive pin 300, so that the male conductive pin 300 can be stably connected to the electrical connector terminal 100. In addition, when the male conductive pin 300 is inserted into the mating housing 110, the moving space A1 of the mating housing 110 allows the first convex portion 1182 of the abutting member 118 to move in the vertical direction D1.
[0061] In addition, the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110 has a second convex portion 113 protruding toward the abutting member 118. It should be noted that the position of the first convex portion 1182 of the abutting member 118 of the mating housing 110 corresponds to the position of the second convex portion 113 of the bottom 111 of the mating housing 110 in the vertical direction D1. The first convex portion 1182 and the second convex portion 113 protruding toward each other can provide a fixing effect, so that after the tip of the male conductive pin 300 enters the mating space A2, the male conductive pin 300 can be stably connected to the electrical connector terminal 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the wiring base body 120 is disposed on a side of the mating housing 110 away from the mating port 112. The wiring base body 120 is used to receive the signal line 400. For example, the signal line 400 can be disposed on the wiring base body 120 and wired, so that the signal line 400 is stably connected to the wiring base body 120. When the male conductive pin 300 is inserted into the mating housing 110, the male conductive pin 300 is electrically connected to the signal line 400 through the configuration of the mating housing 110 and the wiring base body 120 of the electrical connector terminal 100 to complete the signal transmission between the male conductive pin 300 and the signal line 400.
[0064] In addition, the electrical connector structure 200 includes the above-mentioned electrical connector terminal 100 and an electrical connector housing 210. The electrical connector housing 210 of the electrical connector structure 200 has a main body 212. The main body 212 of the electrical connector housing 210 has a chamber 214, a partition block 216 disposed on the main body 212, and a first snap zone 217 and a second snap zone 218 located on opposite sides of the partition block 216.

In addition, the electrical connector housing 210 has a mating end 2111. When the electrical connector terminal 100 is firmly fixed in the chamber 214 of the electrical connector housing 210, the mating end 2111 of the electrical connector housing 210 is aligned with the mating socket 112 of the electrical connector terminal 100.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the electrical connector terminal 100 connecting the conductive male pin 300 and the signal line 400 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 7 FIG. is a cross-sectional view of the conductive male pin 300 inserted into the electrical connector structure 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. In Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the electrical connector housing 210 further has a snap positioning member 211. One end of the snap positioning member 211 of the electrical connector housing 210 has a first snap portion 213, and a second snap portion 215 is provided in the middle of the snap positioning member 211. It should be noted that when the snap positioning member 211 of the electrical connector housing 210 is snapped to the main body 212, the second snap portion 215 of the snap positioning member 211 is located in the second snap zone 218 of the main body 212, and the first part 1161 of the elastic member 116 of the electrical connector terminal 100 is partially located in the first snap zone 217 of the electrical connector housing 210.
[0066] In summary, the electrical connector terminal 100 of the electrical connector structure 200 has an elastic member 116, and the second portion 1162 and the third portion 1163 of the elastic member 116 present an L shape. The L-shaped portion of the elastic member 116 of the electrical connector terminal 100 can be used to contact the partition block 216 of the electrical connector housing 210. In addition, the electrical connector terminal 100 further has a limiting member 114 separate from the elastic member 116, and the limiting member 114 can be used to contact the second snap region 218 of the electrical connector housing 210 (as Figure 4 shown), so that in addition to being used to receive the conductive male pin 300, the electrical connector terminal 100 can also be fixed in the cavity 214 of the electrical connector housing 210 to achieve electrical connection between multiple electronic devices and complete signal transmission. Simply put, through the above design method of the electrical connector terminal 100, when the size of the used electrical connector structure 200 is reduced, under the limitation of the spatial structure, the above electrical connector terminal 100 can still be fixed in the electrical connector structure 200.
