[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of board-end connectors, in particular to a board-end connector with an anti-condensation function. Background Art

[0002] In the new energy vehicle sector, the battery management system (BMS) monitors battery status, protects battery safety, calculates remaining charge, and balances battery cells. BMS connectors, key components connecting the battery and controller, are often exposed to harsh operating environments, such as extreme temperatures and high humidity. These conditions can easily cause condensation on the connector surface, potentially leading to short circuits or corrosion, affecting the proper functioning of the BMS.

[0003] In the prior art, although sealed connectors can prevent condensed water from penetrating, they are expensive and have poor heat dissipation performance, making them difficult to repair and replace.

[0004] The patent with publication number CN 212571489 U discloses a connector structure, including a shell, a pin module, and a limit plate; the pin module includes a pin end extending from the rear end of the shell and bent at a right angle, and a limit hole suitable for the pin end to pass through is provided on the limit plate. The side walls and bottom surface of the shell are provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, and fixing plates are clamped and installed in the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove. When the pin module is inserted into the circuit board, the fixing plates are in surface contact with the circuit board, and the patch welding process is used to achieve welding and fixing with the circuit board.

[0005] The above-mentioned connector structure adopts a non-sealed structure. Although it makes the connector have the advantages of low cost, good heat dissipation and easy maintenance, the connector lacks an effective anti-condensation solution.

A second guide structure 44 is provided on the positioning plate 4, and a second guide groove is provided on the sheath shell 1. The second guide structure 44 is slidably matched with the second guide groove; the second guide structure 44 and the second hook 41 are arranged in the same direction. The cooperation between the second guide structure 44 and the second guide groove guides the installation of the positioning plate 4, facilitating the rapid installation of the positioning plate 4 on the sheath shell 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the first pin 2 and the second pin 3 are inserted into the sheath housing 1, and both the first pin 2 and the second pin 3 are provided with a barb structure.
