[0002] Electrical connectors, also often referred to as circuit connectors or electronic connectors, can be used to bridge two electrical components in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one component to another. Because electrical connectors can be easily manufactured as standardized components and have high electrical connection reliability, they are particularly suitable for modular components. In related technologies, vehicle-mounted connectors are generally exposed to frequent vibration during operation, and the impact of vehicle vibration on the connector can easily lead to connection failures.

The bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a plurality of mounting holes spaced apart and connected to the mounting groove. The connecting base protrudes from the side of the base away from the mounting groove and is provided with a connecting hole. The connecting base is used to abut against the circuit board, and the connecting hole is used to pass fasteners to fix the shell and the circuit board. The base terminal is passed through the mounting hole and extends into the mounting groove. During the assembly process of the electrical connector and the external circuit board, the connecting base can abut against the circuit board, and fasteners such as screws can pass through the circuit board and extend into the connecting holes of the connecting base to fix the shell and the circuit board.

[0029] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a four-sided contact terminal connector includes a connecting body 1, which is provided with a first inlet 11 and a second inlet 12, and a first outlet 21 and a second outlet 22; the first inlet 11 and the second inlet 12 are perpendicular to each other, and the first outlet 21 and the second outlet 22 are perpendicular to each other.
[0031] The first inlet 11 is electrically connected to the first outlet 21 , and the second inlet 12 is electrically connected to the second outlet 22 .
[0032] The first inlet 11 and the second inlet 12 are respectively provided with a locking structure 13. The locking structure 13 includes a connecting cylinder 14 formed on the connecting body 1. The connecting cylinder 14 is formed with radially arranged locking blocks 15. The locking blocks 15 can be radially bounced outward.
[0033] The use of two access ports and two access ports allows for four-sided connection. One connector can be connected to wiring harnesses in four directions, greatly reducing the number of connectors used and facilitating classification. When used for electrical connections in automobiles, it reduces space occupancy. In addition, during connection, the first access port 11 and the second access port 12 can improve the stability of the connection through the locking structure 13, prevent the wiring harness from falling off, and ensure the stability of conductivity.
[0034] Specifically, the connecting cylinder 14 includes a first cylinder 16 and a second cylinder 17, which are integrally formed and connected, wherein the outer diameter of the second cylinder 17 is smaller than that of the first cylinder 16. The first cylinder 16 is formed with an external thread structure 19, and the locking structure 13 is provided on the second cylinder 17. When connecting, the corresponding threaded cylinder can be connected to the connecting cylinder 14, and the external thread structure 19 of the first cylinder 16 can be matched to further improve the stability of the connection. Subsequently, the locking block 15 located in the first cylinder 16 can be radially ejected into the hole position of the threaded cylinder to achieve secondary positioning, further improving the stability of the connection.
[0035] Preferably, the locking structure 13 also includes a radial hole 18 radially formed on the first cylinder 16, and a compression spring is arranged in the radial hole 18 and is sleeved on the lower half of the locking block 15; the threaded cylinder is formed with a movable hole 30 coaxially aligned with the radial hole 18. When the threaded cylinder is connected to the external thread structure 19 of the first connecting cylinder 14, the radial hole 18 is coaxially aligned with the movable hole 30. At this time, the locking block 15 will be inserted into the movable hole 30 of the threaded cylinder under the elastic action of the compression spring, realizing secondary positioning and further improving the connection stability.
[0036] The first and second connection ports 21, 22 are each provided with a conductive structure 2, comprising a conductive port 25 formed in the connector body 1. The conductive port 25 is provided with a conductive contact. The conductive contact is a rod-shaped structure. When the connector is inserted into the conductive port 25, its conductive groove precisely contacts the conductive contact coaxially, achieving a conductive connection and signal connection.
[0037] Preferably, the conductive contact includes a first conductive rod 23 and a second conductive rod 24, and the second conductive rod 24 can swing around the end of the first conductive rod 23. A side guide port 26 is formed on the side wall of the conductive port 25, and the side guide port 26 is arranged perpendicular to the conductive port 25, and the second conductive rod 24 can swing to axially align with the side guide port 26. In this embodiment, when the conductive port 25 is close to the wall, it cannot be connected to the wiring harness connector. At this time, the second conductive rod 24 can be swung so that the second conductive rod 24 faces the side guide port 26. At this time, the wiring harness connector can be inserted into the side guide port 26 and conductively connected to the second conductive rod 24 located at the side guide port 26. The side guide port 26 can guide the wiring harness connector to prevent the wiring harness connector from shifting in the side guide port 26, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. The signal connection with the connection body 1 can be diversified.
[0038] Specifically, the first conductive rod 23 has a movable groove 27 formed at its end, and the second conductive rod 24 has a movable block 28 movably connected to the movable groove 27. The movable block 28 is rotatably connected to the movable groove 27. A movable hole 30 is formed transversely throughout the movable block 28. A connecting shaft 29 is mounted on the movable groove 27, and the connecting shaft 29 is connected to the movable hole 30 of the movable block 28. The second conductive rod 24 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 29 of the first conductive rod 23 via the movable block 28. The first conductive rod 23, the second conductive rod 24, and the connecting shaft 29 are all made of conductive metal materials to ensure the electrical conductivity of the first and second conductive rods 23 and 24.
[0039] In summary, it can be seen that the present invention has the above-mentioned excellent characteristics, which can enhance its performance unprecedented in the past and become a product with great practical value.
[0040] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
