[0043] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0044] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0046] As used herein, "parallel" and "perpendicular" include the conditions described and conditions similar to the conditions described, and the range of the similar conditions is within an acceptable deviation range, wherein the acceptable deviation range is determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, wherein the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism can be, for example, a deviation within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, wherein the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity can also be, for example, a deviation within 5°.

[0047] It will be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers may be present therebetween.

[0048] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan views that are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thicknesses of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, variations in shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include deviations in shape due to, for example, manufacturing. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0049] Connector components generally include socket connectors and plug connectors, which are used in various mobile communication devices and various terminal devices (such as display screens, motherboards, memory, mobile hard drives, mobile phones, PDAs, GPS, cameras, game controllers, etc.) to achieve signal connection or transmission between various functional modules inside the terminal device or between external devices such as cables and other signal lines.

[0050] In one example, the receptacle connector is electrically connected to a functional module within the terminal device, while the plug connector is electrically connected to an external device such as a network cable or power cord. In this case, the electrical connection between the receptacle connector and the plug connector through plugging further enables electrical connection between the functional modules within the terminal device and the external device. In another example, the receptacle connector is electrically connected to one functional module within the terminal device, while the plug connector is electrically connected to another functional module within the terminal device. In this case, the electrical connection between the receptacle connector and the plug connector through plugging further enables electrical connection between the functional modules within the terminal device.

[0051] In related technologies, Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a connector assembly in some embodiments. Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a connector assembly in some other embodiments, wherein: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly in the unplugged state. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly in the plugged state. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector assembly includes a socket connector 2 and a plug connector 1. The plug connector 1 includes: a conductive member 12 and a plug-in member 11 electrically connected to one side of the conductive member 12 along its thickness direction; the conductive member 12 is used to electrically connect to the cable. The socket connector 2 includes: a mounting seat 21, a shielding wall 22 set on the mounting seat 21, and a connector 23. The shielding wall 22 is set around the connector 23. And, by Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference plane is located within the area surrounded by the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference plane.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a connector assembly in some other embodiments, specifically, Figure 3 It will Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the process of pulling out the plug connector 1 from the socket connector 2 in the connector assembly is shown. Figure 3 As shown, during the process of pulling out the plug connector 1 from the socket connector 2, the plug connector 11 in the plug connector 1 will Figure 3Point A in the diagram is the fulcrum, squeezing connector 23 in receptacle connector 2. Furthermore, the squeezing angle is large, which can easily cause deformation of connector 11 and / or connector 23. Optionally, connector 11 includes at least two plug strips 111, each of which includes a plurality of first connection terminals. Connector 23 includes at least two sockets 231, each of which includes a plurality of second connection terminals. After receptacle connector 2 and plug connector 1 are electrically connected through plugging, plug strips 111 and sockets 231 are plugged into one another in a one-to-one correspondence, electrically connecting the first and second connection terminals. Deformation of connector 11 and / or connector 23 caused by repeated use of receptacle connector 2 and plug connector 1 corresponds to deformation of the first and / or second connection terminals. With increasing plugging frequency, deformation becomes increasingly severe, ultimately causing damage to at least one of receptacle connector 2 or plug connector 1, thereby compromising the conductive transmission performance of plug connector 1 and / or receptacle connector 2, and further affecting the performance of the terminal device.

[0053] Furthermore, with technological advancements, to reduce RF (Radio Frequency) impacts and the space occupied by connector assemblies, plug connector 1 typically includes two connector strips 111, and receptacle connector 2 typically includes two connector sockets 231. Furthermore, the first connecting terminals in plug connector 1 and the second connecting terminals in receptacle connector 2 are also very small. Consequently, during the assembly, production, and testing of terminal devices before shipment, problems such as abnormal lighting in the terminal device and blackening of the circuit board often occur due to deformation of the first and / or second connecting terminals.

[0054] In order to at least alleviate or solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present disclosure provides a connector assembly. Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 9 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 10 It is a structural schematic diagram of the connector assembly in other embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0056] like Figures 4 to 10As shown, the connector assembly of the present disclosure includes a socket connector 2 and a plug connector 1. The plug connector 1 includes: a conductive member 12 and a plug connector 11 electrically connected to one side of the conductive member 12 along its thickness direction. The socket connector 2 includes: a mounting seat 21, a shielding wall 22 provided on the mounting seat 21, and a connector 23, wherein the shielding wall 22 is provided around the connector 23. The plug connector 11 and the connector 23 are pluggable. When the plug connector 11 and the connector 23 are plugged in, the orthographic projection of a portion of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface is located in the peripheral area of ​​the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface. The reference surface is a plane parallel to the plane where the mounting seat 21 is located.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by making the orthographic projection of a portion of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface be located in the outer area of ​​the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface, during the process of pulling out the connector 11 from the connector 23 connected to it, the connector 11 can use the end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum, thereby reducing the extrusion angle of the connector 11 on the connector 23, and further reducing the interaction pressure between the connector 11 and the connector 23, thereby avoiding deformation of the connector 11 and / or the connector 2 and causing damage.

[0058] Specifically, in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the orthographic projection of a portion of the conductive member 12 on the reference plane is located in the peripheral area to the left of the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference plane. Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly in some other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 11 As shown, Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the process of pulling out the plug connector 11 from the connector 23 from right to left is shown. Figure 3 The embodiment shown, Figure 11 In the embodiment shown, the connector 11 is no longer supported by point A, but by point B at the end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting base 21. The connector 11 is pulled upward on the right side to be removed from the connector 23. Figure 11 In the embodiment shown, the inclination angle of the connector 11 is much smaller than Figure 3 The tilt angle of the plug connector 11 in the illustrated embodiment can effectively prevent deformation or even damage of the plug connector 11 and / or the connector 2 due to excessive pressure between the plug connector 11 and the connector 2 .

[0059] exist Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the orthographic projection of a portion of the conductive member 12 on the reference plane is located in the peripheral area to the right of the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference plane. Figure 12 Schematic diagram of the structure of the connector assembly in some other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 12 As shown, Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, the process of pulling out the plug connector 11 from the connector 23 from left to right is shown. Figure 3 The embodiment shown, Figure 12 In the embodiment shown, the connector 11 is no longer supported by point A, but by point C at the end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting base 21. The connector 11 is pressed down from the right side to be pulled out of the connector 23. In this case, Figure 12 In the embodiment shown, the angle of inclination of the connector 11 is much smaller than Figure 3 The tilt angle of the plug connector 11 in the illustrated embodiment can effectively prevent deformation or even damage of the plug connector 11 and / or the connector 2 due to excessive pressure between the plug connector 11 and the connector 2 .

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the mounting base 21 extends along a first direction, that is, the mounting base 21 is a strip-shaped structure extending along the first direction. The shielding wall 22 includes a first wall 221 and a second wall 222 arranged opposite each other; the first wall 221 and the second wall 222 are arranged in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. When the connector 11 is plugged into the connector 23, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface includes a third projection area 125, as well as the first projection area and / or the second projection area. The third projection area 125 overlaps with the area enclosed by the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface. The first projection area includes a first portion 121. The first portion 121 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the first wall 221 on the reference surface away from the orthographic projection of the second wall 222 on the reference surface. The second projection area includes a second portion 122. The second portion 122 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the second wall 222 on the reference surface away from the orthographic projection of the first wall 221 on the reference surface.

[0061] For example, in Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface includes: a third projection area 125 and a first projection area, wherein the first projection area includes the first portion 121. For another example, in Figure 5In the embodiment shown, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface includes: a third projection area 125 and a second projection area. The second projection area includes the second portion 122. For another example, in Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface includes a third projection area 125 , a first projection area, and a second projection area, wherein the first projection area includes a first portion 121 , and the second projection area includes a second portion 122 .

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the connector 11 is plugged into the connector 23, the orthographic projection of the conductive member 12 on the reference plane includes the first part 121 and / or the second part 122, so that the conductive member 12 can be ensured to extend beyond the shielding wall 22 on at least one side of the second wall 222 away from the first wall 221 and the first wall 221 away from the second wall 222, thereby reducing the tilt angle of the connector 11 when it is pulled out of the connector 23, and effectively avoiding deformation or even damage of the connector 11 and / or the connector 2 due to excessive pressure between the connector 11 and the connector 2.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 to 10 As shown, there is no gap or a gap with a width less than 0.5 mm between the third projection area 125 and the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface. Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the conductive member 12 includes a third conductive portion 1201, a second conductive portion 1203, and / or a first conductive portion 1203. When the plug connector 11 is plugged into the connector 23, the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 on the reference surface is the third projection area 125, the orthographic projection of the second conductive portion 1203 on the reference surface is the first projection area, and the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface is the first projection area.

[0064] For example, in Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the conductive member 12 includes a third conductive portion 1201 and a first conductive portion 1202. The orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 on the reference plane, i.e., the third projection area 125, is located within the area enclosed by the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference plane, and there is no gap or a gap of less than 0.5 mm between the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 and the shielding wall 22 on the reference plane.

[0065] The orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface, i.e., the first projection area, includes a first portion 121 and a third portion 123. The third portion 123 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first wall 221 on the reference surface.

[0066] It should be noted that Figures 7 to 10The components of the conductive part 12 (the third conductive part 1201, the second conductive part 1203, the first conductive part 1202) and the components of the positive projection of the conductive part 12 on the reference plane (the first part 121, the second part 122, the third part 123, the fourth part 124) are marked at the same time. Those skilled in the art should understand the relationship and distinction between the aforementioned parts.

[0067] The disclosed embodiment illustrates a situation where there is no gap between the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 on the reference surface and the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface. To prevent damage caused by collision between the third conductive portion 1201 and the shielding wall 22 during insertion and removal, a gap of a certain size can be left between the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 on the reference surface and the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface, depending on the actual situation. For example, the width of the gap can be 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.45mm, or 0.5mm.

[0068] The disclosed embodiment enables the plug 11 to be removed from the connector 23 by using the second conductive portion 1202 with point B at the end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum, thereby effectively reducing the tilt angle of the plug 11 during the insertion and removal process, effectively preventing excessive pressure between the plug 11 and the connector 2, which could cause deformation or even damage to the plug 11 and / or the connector 2. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1201 on the reference surface in the disclosed embodiment lies within the area enclosed by the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface, and there is no gap between the orthographic projection of the shielding wall 22 on the reference surface. Due to the presence of the shielding wall 22, the plug 11 can remain as perpendicular to the connector 23 as possible during the insertion and removal process, further reducing the tilt angle of the plug 11 during the removal process. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment further reduces the tilt angle of the plug 11 during the insertion and removal process, reduces the pressure between the plug 11 and the connector 2, and prevents deformation or even damage to the plug 11 and / or the connector 2.

[0069] For example, in Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the conductive member 12 includes a third conductive portion 1201 and a second conductive portion 1203. The orthographic projection of the second conductive portion 1203 on the reference plane, i.e., the second projection area, includes a second portion 122 and a fourth portion 124. The fourth portion 124 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second wall 222 on the reference plane.

[0070] The embodiment of the present disclosure can pull the connector 11 out of the connector 23 by using the second conductive portion 1203 with point C at one end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum. At the same time, due to the presence of the shielding wall 22, the connector 11 can remain as perpendicular to the connector 23 as possible during the plugging and unplugging process. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can further reduce the inclination angle of the connector 11 during the plugging and unplugging process, reduce the pressure between the connector 11 and the connector 2, and avoid deformation or even damage to the connector 11 and / or the connector 2.

[0071] For example, in Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the conductive element 12 includes a third conductive portion 1201, a second conductive portion 1203, and a first conductive portion 1202. The second conductive portion 1203 and the first conductive portion 1202 are respectively located on opposite sides of the third conductive portion 1201 in the second direction.

[0072] The embodiment of the present disclosure can pull out the connector 11 from the connector 23 by using the first conductive portion 1202 with point C at one end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum, and can also pull out the connector 11 from the connector 23 by using the second conductive portion 1202 with point B at one end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum. At the same time, due to the presence of the shielding wall 22, the connector 11 can remain as perpendicular to the connector 23 as possible during the plugging and unplugging process. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can further reduce the inclination angle of the connector 11 during the plugging and unplugging process, reduce the pressure between the connector 11 and the connector 2, and avoid deformation or even damage of the connector 11 and / or the connector 2. Moreover, the embodiment of the present disclosure can pull out the connector 11 from the connector 23 by using the first conductive portion 1202 with point C at one end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum, and can also pull out the connector 11 from the connector 23 by using the second conductive portion 1202 with point B at one end of the shielding wall 22 away from the mounting seat 21 as a fulcrum. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can meet the needs of plugging and unplugging in multiple directions and can meet the needs of multiple application scenarios.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the thickness H3 of the second conductive portion 1203 is smaller than at least one of the thickness H1 of the third conductive portion 1201 and the thickness of the first conductive portion 1202 .

[0074] For example, in Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the thickness H3 of the second conductive portion 1203 is less than the thickness H1 of the third conductive portion 1201. Figure 9 and Figure 10In the illustrated embodiment, the thickness H3 of the second conductive portion 1203 is less than the thickness H1 of the third conductive portion 1201 and the thickness of the first conductive portion 1202 , wherein the thickness H1 of the third conductive portion 1201 and the thickness of the first conductive portion 1202 are equal.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figures 8 to 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the thickness H3 of the second conductive portion 1203 is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm, and the thickness H1 of the third conductive portion 1201 and the thickness of the first conductive portion 1202 are both greater than or equal to 0.4 mm.

[0076] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of at least one of the second conductive portion 1203 and the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference plane is an asymmetric shape, wherein the asymmetric shape does not satisfy at least one of axial symmetry and central symmetry.

[0077] For example, in Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface is an asymmetric shape. In one example, the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface is a non-centrosymmetric shape. In another example, the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface is a non-axisymmetric shape. In another example, the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference surface is both a non-axisymmetric shape and a non-centrosymmetric shape. For another example, the orthographic projection of the third conductive portion 1203 on the reference surface is an asymmetric shape.

[0078] Specifically, in Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the first conductive portion 1202 includes a main body, and first and second branch portions located on opposite sides of the main body in the first direction, wherein a length W1 of the first branch portion in the second direction is smaller than a width W2 of the second branch portion in the second direction.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the orthographic projection of at least one of the second conductive portion 1203 and the first conductive portion 1202 on the reference plane as an asymmetric figure, it is possible to help identify the relative directions of the plug connector 1 and the socket connector 2 when they are plugged in and out, thereby avoiding damage to the plug connector 1 and / or the socket connector 2 due to the wrong plugging direction.

[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the first wall 221 includes a first wall portion, and the orthographic projection of the first wall portion on the reference surface is located within the orthographic projection range of the conductive member 12 on the reference surface. Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first wall portion on the reference plane is the third portion 123. The height h1 of the first wall portion is less than the height h2 of the second wall portion 222.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the length L1 of the first portion 121 in the second direction is greater than the length L2 of the second portion 122 in the second direction.

[0082] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 21 has a first edge 211 and a second edge 212 disposed opposite each other. The orthographic projection of the first wall 221 on the mounting base 21 is located between the first edge 211 and the orthographic projection of the second wall 222 on the mounting base 21, and the orthographic projection of the second wall 222 on the mounting base 21 is located between the second edge and the orthographic projection of the first wall 221 on the mounting base 21. The distance D1 between the first wall 221 and the first edge 211 is greater than the distance D2 between the second wall 222 and the second edge 212.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the length L1 of the first portion 121 in the second direction is greater than the distance D2 between the first edge and the first wall 221 in the second direction.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the connector 11 includes at least two plug-in strips 111 arranged along the second direction. The plug-in strips 111 extend along the first direction and include a plurality of first connecting terminals. The connector 23 includes two sockets 231 arranged along the second direction. The plug-in strips 111 extend along the first direction and include a plurality of second connecting terminals. The plug-in strips 111 and the sockets 231 are plugged into each other in a one-to-one correspondence to electrically connect the first connecting terminals to the second connecting terminals.

[0085] Optionally, the connector 23 further includes a support member 232 . The support member 232 is fixed on the mounting seat 21 and is used to support and fix the plug socket 231 .

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the connection between the plug-in component 11 and the connector 23 is electrically connected to each other through multiple first connecting terminals and multiple second connecting terminals. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, slowing down the tilt angle of the plug-in component 11 when it is pulled out of the connector 23 is actually more about reducing the extrusion angle between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal, so as to reduce the pressure between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal, thereby effectively avoiding the deformation or even damage of the first connecting terminal and / or the second connecting terminal due to excessive pressure between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal.

[0087] The technical solutions and effects of the present disclosure are further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0088] In some embodiments, as Figure 10As shown, the total length W3 of the conductive member 12 in the second direction is 20 mm, the length W4 of the second conductive portion 1203 in the second direction is 1.5 mm, and the distance W5 between the first retaining wall 221 and the second retaining wall 222 in the second direction is 3.5 mm. The length W1 of the first branch of the first conductive portion 1202 in the second direction is 5.5 mm, and the width W2 of the second branch of the first conductive portion 1202 in the second direction is 2.75 mm.

[0089] In the disclosed embodiment, the length W4 of the second conductive portion 1203 in the second direction is 1.5 mm, which enables pull-up plugging and unplugging. The first conductive portion 1202 of the conductive member 12 enables push-down plugging and unplugging, which can effectively reduce deformation caused by pull-up plugging and unplugging. At the same time, the third conductive portion 1201 can effectively reduce deformation caused by left-right diagonal plugging and unplugging. In addition, considering that the conductive member 12 fits too tightly against the shielding wall 22, dimensional errors in the production process may cause the conductive member 12 to be attached upside down, resulting in the plug connector 1 being unable to be inserted. Therefore, the widths of the first branch portion and the second branch portion in the second direction are designed to be different to determine the plugging direction.

[0090] Furthermore, the same pull-up technique was used to Figure 10 and Figure 2 The connector assembly shown was repeatedly plugged in and out, and the following were found through comparison of the verification scheme: Figure 2 The connector assembly shown deformed after an average of 40 pulls. Figure 10 The connector assembly shown deformed after an average of 300 pulls, and its stability improved by 750%. Figure 10 The connector assembly shown deforms after being pressed 200 times on average, with a 500% improvement in stability.

[0091] In summary, the technical solution of the present disclosure significantly reduces the risk of deformation of the receptacle and / or plug connectors in various operational scenarios, minimizing production yield losses. Furthermore, the present disclosure improves only the connectors within the plug connector, thus simplifying and facilitating efficient manufacturing, thereby reducing development costs.

[0092] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments for illustrating the principles of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit and substance of the present disclosure, and such modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
