Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, and in particular relates to a connector with a gear shifting function. Background Art
[0002] With the development of aviation, aerospace, communications, military electronic countermeasures, and other fields, especially the application of BMS battery management systems, the functional requirements of electrical connectors are constantly increasing. Multiple signal transmission functions need to be integrated into a single connector, and each system is becoming increasingly miniaturized. How to solve the problem of manually switching the state of the connector in a limited space is a technical challenge that needs to be solved. The high reliability and state switching requirements of the connector require a design that realizes internal circuit conversion. The internal circuit switching action is realized through external screwing operation to achieve the state switching function.
[0003] Existing circular connectors only meet single-connection conduction requirements. When power-on, power-off, and short-circuit protection are required on an external interface within the limited space outside the battery, conventional threaded, snap-on, or push-pull quick-lock circular connectors are insufficient. To meet model development requirements, a circular shift connector capable of state switching within a limited space is of practical significance.

The connector sets the button contact in the plug-in hole of the insulating mounting assembly, so that the receiving end of the button contact protrudes from the plug-in hole, and then presses down the receiving end through the printed circuit board to transmit the signal to the wire; when the receiving end is pressed down, the button in the button contact is compressed to achieve the function of axial floating of the button contact, thereby avoiding damage to the connector due to the insertion force when the button contact is welded.
