Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product connector technology, and in particular to a side-insertion type-C connector with a reasonable structural design and high support strength. [Background Technology]

[0002] USB Type-C, also known as USBC or Type-C, is a brand-new hardware interface form of Universal Serial Bus (USB) (USB interfaces also include Type-A and Type-B). It emerged with the latest USB 3.1 standard and was released by the USB Developers Forum (USBIF) in August 2014. Type-C is a brand-new interface developed by the USB standardization organization to solve the long-standing drawbacks of inconsistent physical interface specifications and unidirectional power transmission in USB interfaces. Its most distinctive feature is that its top and bottom are completely identical, supporting insertion in both directions. Compared with MicroUSB, users no longer need to distinguish between the front and back of the USB. Furthermore, it integrates charging, display, and data transfer functions.

[0003] The existing Type-C connector structure has been greatly improved in terms of overall construction and smoothness of insertion and removal. For example, the design of the internal pins has been improved, which has improved the uniformity of force during insertion and removal. However, there are still many shortcomings, such as the problem of loose parts during insertion and removal. This can be attributed to the design of the internal structure to a certain extent.

[0004] For example, utility model patent application number 202321010708.6, entitled "A Type-C Connector with Enhanced Structural Strength," specifically discloses a Type-C connector with enhanced structural strength, including an insulating body, a first terminal group, a second terminal group, a middle clip, and a shielding shell. The insulating body includes a first insulating element, a second insulating element, and a tongue plate. The first terminal group and the second terminal group are respectively embedded and fixed together with the first insulating element and the second insulating element. The middle clip is sandwiched between the first insulating element and the second insulating element, and the shielding shell covers the insulating body. The front end of the middle clip has multiple clearance holes, and the front ends of the first contact portion of the first terminal group and the second contact portion of the second terminal group are respectively located above and below the corresponding clearance holes. The front end of the tongue plate has multiple reinforcing portions, which are embedded in the corresponding clearance holes. In this way, the connection between the middle clip and the tongue plate can be improved, and the structural strength of the tongue plate can be effectively enhanced, making it less prone to breakage, thereby helping to extend the overall service life of the product.

[0005] The existing technical documents described above have the aforementioned problems, and therefore, further improvements and enhancements are needed in the specific structural aspects. [Utility Model Content]
