[0036] The following refers to Figures 1 to 7 to describe the Type-C connector of the present application in detail.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the Type-C connector according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rubber core 100, a plurality of first connection terminals 200, and a plurality of second connection terminals 300.

[0038] An insertion port and a connection port are formed on the rubber core 100; a plurality of first connection terminals 200 are arranged at intervals along a first direction on the rubber core 100. The first connection terminal 200 includes a first insertion end 211 and a first connection end 221 that respectively extend to the insertion port and the connection port. The first insertion end 211 is used to connect to a socket port, and the first connection end 221 is used to be electrically connected to a circuit board; a plurality of second connection terminals 300 are arranged at intervals along the first direction on the rubber core 100. The second connection terminal 300 includes a second insertion end 311 and a second connection end 321 that respectively extend to the insertion port and the connection port. The second insertion end 311 is used to connect to a socket port, and the second connection end 321 is used to be electrically connected to a circuit board. The second insertion end 311 and the first insertion end 211 are distributed in a second direction, and the second direction is spaced at a certain angle from the first direction. Along the first direction, the second connection end 321 and the first connection end 221 are both located on the same straight line.

[0039] For example, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the first direction is the left-right direction, the second direction is the vertical direction. An insertion port is formed at the front end of the rubber core 100, and a connection port is formed at the rear end of the rubber core 100. A plurality of first connection terminals 200 are distributed at intervals along the left-right direction, and one end of the first connection terminal 200 extending to the insertion port forms a first insertion end 211, and one end of the first connection terminal 200 extending to the connection port forms a first connection end 221. A plurality of second connection terminals 300 are distributed at intervals along the left-right direction. One end of the second connection terminal 300 extending to the insertion port forms a second insertion end 311, and one end of the second connection terminal 300 extending to the connection port forms a second connection end 321. At the insertion port of the rubber core 100, the first insertion ends 211 are arranged in a row along the left-right direction, the second insertion ends 311 are arranged in a row along the left-right direction, and the first insertion ends 211 and the second insertion ends 311 are distributed in the vertical direction. At the connection port of the rubber core 100, the first connection ends 221 are arranged in a row along the left-right direction, the second connection ends 321 are arranged in a row along the left-right direction, and the first connection ends 221 and the second connection ends 321 are both located on the same straight line.

[0040] It can be understood that when the Type-C connector of the present utility model is applied to an electronic device, the first insertion ends 211 and the second insertion ends 311 at the insertion interface of the rubber core 100 are both used to connect with the terminals in the socket port, and the first connection ends 221 and the second connection ends 321 at the connection interface of the rubber core 100 are both connected to the circuit board in the electronic device; since the first connection ends 221 and the second connection ends 321 are both on the same straight line, the Type-C connector of the present utility model has a better shielding effect.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, along the first direction, the plurality of first connection ends 221 are divided into a plurality of first connection end groups, and the plurality of second connection ends 321 are divided into a plurality of second connection end groups. Each first connection end group includes at least one first connection end 221, and each second connection end group includes at least one second connection end 321. The first connection end groups and the second connection end groups are alternately distributed along the first direction.

[0042] For example, the plurality of first connection ends 221 are divided into three first connection end groups distributed along the left-right direction, and each first connection end group includes four first connection ends 221 spaced apart along the left-right direction. The plurality of second connection end groups are divided into three second connection end groups distributed along the left-right direction, and each second connection end group includes four second connection ends 321 spaced apart along the left-right direction, and the first connection end groups and the second connection end groups are alternately distributed along the left-right direction.

[0043] It can be understood that since the first connection end groups and the second connection end groups are alternately distributed along the left-right direction, a relatively large spacing distance can be provided between the first pin groups corresponding to the adjacent two first connection end groups on the circuit board, and a relatively large spacing distance can be provided between the second pin groups corresponding to the adjacent two second connection end groups on the circuit board, so as to reduce the probability of short circuit between the adjacent two first pin groups on the circuit board and reduce the probability of short circuit between the adjacent two second pin groups on the circuit board; wherein, the first pin group includes a plurality of first pins respectively used to connect with the first connection end 221, and the second pin group includes a plurality of second pins respectively used to connect with the second connection end 321.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first connection terminal 200 includes a first insertion section 210 and a first connection section 220 that intersect at a certain angle. One end of the first insertion section 210 and the first connection section 220 facing away from each other respectively form a first insertion end 211 and a first connection end 221; the second connection terminal 300 includes a second insertion section 310 and a second connection section 320 that intersect at a certain angle. One end of the second insertion section 310 and the second connection section 320 facing away from each other respectively form a second insertion end 311 and a second connection end 321; the planes where each first insertion section 210 is located and the planes where each second insertion section 310 is located are arranged in parallel, and the first connection section 220 and the second connection section 320 are arranged in the same plane.

[0045] For example, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the first connection terminal 200 includes a first insertion section 210 and a first connection section 220. The first insertion section 210 extends along the front-rear direction, and the first connection section 220 extends in a stepped manner along the vertical direction. The rear end of the first insertion section 210 is connected to the lower end of the first connection section 220. The front end of the first insertion section 210 forms a first insertion end 211, and the upper end of the first connection section 220 forms a first connection end 221; the second connection terminal 300 includes a second insertion section 310 and a second connection section 320. The second insertion section 310 extends along the front-rear direction, and the second connection section 320 extends in a stepped manner along the vertical direction. The rear end of the second insertion section 310 is connected to the lower end of the second connection section 320. The front end of the second insertion section 310 forms a second insertion end 311, and the upper end of the second connection section 320 forms a second connection end 321; the planes where each first insertion section 210 is located and the planes where each second insertion section 310 is located are arranged in parallel, and the first connection section 220 and the second connection section 320 are arranged in the same plane.

[0046] It can be understood that since a certain angle is formed between the first connection section 220 and the first insertion end 211, and a certain angle is formed between the second connection section 320 and the second insertion end 311, while the first insertion end 211 and the second insertion end 311 are distributed along the vertical direction, the first connection end 221 and the second connection end 321 can be located on the same straight line.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a plurality of first insertion channels, a plurality of second insertion channels, a plurality of first abutting surfaces, and a plurality of second abutting surfaces are formed on the rubber core 100. The first abutting surfaces and the second abutting surfaces are arranged in the same plane. The first insertion sections 210 are respectively inserted into the first insertion channels one by one, the first connection sections 220 are respectively attached to the first abutting surfaces one by one, the second insertion sections 310 are respectively inserted into the second insertion channels one by one, and the second connection sections 320 are respectively attached to the second abutting surfaces one by one.

[0048] It can be understood that by inserting the first insertion segments 210 into the first insertion channels one by one, the channel walls of the first insertion channels can limit and fix the first insertion segments 210; by fitting the first connection segments 220 to the first abutting surfaces, the first abutting surfaces can limit and fix the first connection segments 220; by inserting the second insertion segments 310 into the second insertion channels one by one, the channel walls of the second insertion channels can limit and fix the second insertion segments 310; by fitting the second connection segments 320 to the second abutting surfaces, the second abutting surfaces can limit and fix the second connection segments 320.

[0049] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a first avoidance groove 111 is provided between any two adjacent first abutting surfaces, and a second avoidance groove 121 is provided between any two adjacent second abutting surfaces.

[0050] It can be understood that when the Type-C connector of the present invention is installed on an electronic device, the first connection end 221 needs to be connected to the first pin on the circuit board, and the second connection end 321 needs to be connected to the second pin on the circuit board. By providing the first avoidance groove 111 and the second avoidance groove 121, the rubber core 100 can avoid the circuit board, so that the first connection end 221 can smoothly contact the first pin, and the second connection end 321 can smoothly contact the second pin.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the Type-C connector further includes a shielding case 400, and the shielding case 400 wraps the rubber core 100.

[0052] It can be understood that by providing the shielding case 400, on the one hand, the shielding case 400 can protect the rubber core 100 to reduce the impact of other structures on the rubber core 100. On the other hand, the shielding case 400 can play an electromagnetic shielding role for the rubber core 100, the first connection terminals 200 and the second connection terminals 300.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the Type-C connector further includes a middle clip 500. The middle clip 500 is provided on the rubber core 100 and is located between the first connection terminals 200 and the second connection terminals 300. The middle clip 500 is connected to the shielding case 400. The middle clip 500 includes an insertion plate corner 510. The insertion plate corner 510 is located at the connection port and is used for connection with the circuit board.

[0054] It can be understood that since the middle clip 500 is connected to the shielding case 400, and the insertion plate corner 510 of the middle clip 500 is used to connect to the circuit board, when the Type-C connector of the present utility model is applied to an electronic device, the insertion plate corner 510 can be connected to the circuit board to enhance the grounding effect of the Type-C connector of the present utility model, thereby reducing the noise to the limit value of the RFI Test or even lower.

[0055] In order to further enhance the grounding effect of the Type-C connector of the present utility model, in a further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 3 , the middle clip 500 includes a plurality of insertion plate corners 510, and the plurality of insertion plate corners 510 are spaced apart in the left-right direction.
