AI Technical Summary
The connection terminals (PINs) of Mini USB connectors are easily affected by external forces during insertion or removal, causing warping, which affects the stability and service life of the connector. Existing methods of increasing the hardness of the PIN pins and improving the materials have limited effects.
A C-shaped rigid anti-warping restraint plate is used to press the connection terminal through the first horizontal limit plate to limit the vertical movement of the PIN foot and prevent warping. The embedded groove and inclined surface structure are used together in the design to ensure the connection effect.
Effectively prevent PIN pin warping, improve connector stability and service life, and reduce manufacturing costs.

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of USB connectors, and in particular relates to an anti-warping PIN structure of a Mini USB connector. Background Art
[0002] Mini USB connectors are a small USB interface standard, available in Type A, Type B, and Type AB. They are compact, portable, and durable. They are commonly used to connect devices such as mobile devices and digital cameras for data transfer and charging.
[0003] In common Mini USB connector designs, the pins (pins) are susceptible to external forces during insertion and removal, causing them to warp. This directly impacts the connector's stability and lifespan. Common solutions rely on increasing the pin's hardness or improving its material, but these methods often increase manufacturing costs and still struggle to prevent warping over time.
