Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical connection structure technology, specifically relating to a type-C connector. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid advancements in society and technology, the standardization and normalization of electronic components have become an industry trend, giving rise to the revolutionary USB Type-C interface standard. This innovative interface not only ended the chaotic situation of traditional USB interface design, but also quickly won market favor with its high efficiency in integrating charging and data transfer, as well as its compact size, fast charging speed, and reversible plug-in convenience.

[0003] In the design of the USB Type-C interface, a middle section is set, and terminal structures are set on both the upper and lower ends of the middle section. The upper and lower terminal structures are corresponding to ensure that the electrical connection can be guaranteed regardless of whether the Type-C plug is inserted from the front or the back. However, the existing USB Type-C interface has a relatively complex structure for setting the upper and lower terminals, and there are problems of material waste and difficulty in alignment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a Type-C connector to solve the issues of material waste and difficult alignment in existing USB Type-C interfaces. This Type-C connector is beneficial for improving production efficiency and saving material costs.

[0005] This utility model provides a Type-C connector, including a housing, a middle section, electrical connection terminals, and an insulating base. The insulating base is disposed in the housing, with its lower part protruding from the housing. The housing has a connector. The middle section is located inside the connector and is connected to the insulating base. Multiple electrical connection terminals are provided, with one end spaced apart on the middle section. The other end of each electrical connection terminal passes through the insulating base and protrudes below the housing. One end of each electrical connection terminal is bent inward through the middle section to form an annular portion. The annular portion includes a first contact edge and a second contact edge spaced apart from each other. The first contact edge is located on the upper surface of the middle section, and the second contact edge is on the lower surface of the middle section.

[0006] Furthermore, the type-C connector also includes a protective strip, which is connected to the end of the middle section located at the connector.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer casing is a metal casing.

[0008] This Type-C connector forms an annular portion by bending one end of the electrical connection terminal. The first and second contact edges of the annular portion extend to the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section, respectively. Thus, the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section can be electrically connected to the Type-C connector in both directions through a single annular portion. Compared with the traditional structure, this reduces the number of terminals by half, saving material costs. At the same time, the reduction in the number of terminals can effectively reduce the difficulty of alignment during production and improve production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] This utility model discloses a type-C connector that improves production efficiency and saves material costs.

[0014] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, what is described is only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0015] See Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a Type-C connector, including a housing 1, a middle section 2, electrical connection terminals 5, and an insulating base 6. The insulating base 6 is disposed in the housing 1, and the lower part of the insulating base 6 is exposed in the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a plug interface 3. The middle section 2 is located inside the plug interface 3 and is connected to the insulating base 6. There are multiple electrical connection terminals 5. One end of the multiple electrical connection terminals 5 is spaced apart on the middle section 2, and the other end of the multiple electrical connection terminals 5 passes through the insulating base 6 and is exposed below the housing 1. One end of the electrical connection terminal 5 is bent inward through the middle section 2 to form an annular portion 7. The annular portion 7 includes a first contact edge 8 and a second contact edge 9 that are spaced apart from each other. The first contact edge 8 is located on the upper surface of the middle section 2, and the second contact edge 9 is on the lower surface of the middle section 2.

[0016] The type-C connector also includes a protective strip 4, which is connected to the end of the middle section 2 located at the connector 3.

[0017] The outer casing 1 is a metal casing.

[0018] This Type-C connector forms an annular portion 7 by bending one end of the electrical connection terminal 5. The first contact edge 8 and the second contact edge 9 of the annular portion 7 extend to the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section piece 2, respectively. Thus, the upper and lower surfaces of the middle section piece 2 can be electrically connected to the Type-C connector in both directions through a single annular portion 7. Compared with the traditional structure, the number of terminals can be reduced by half, saving material costs. At the same time, due to the reduction in the number of terminals, the difficulty of production alignment can be effectively reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.
