AI Technical Summary
Existing TYPE-C connectors, while ensuring overall strength, are prone to short circuits between the upper and lower rows of conductive terminals. Insufficient thickness of insulating glue can also lead to glue shortages, affecting the connector's mating life and stability.
A steel sheet is placed between the upper and lower conductive terminals, and an insulating coating is applied to its isolation area to achieve insulation between the upper and lower conductive pins, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the connector and reducing the risk of short circuits.
The addition of an insulating coating improves the insertion and extraction life and overall strength of the electrical connector, reduces the risk of short circuits between the upper and lower rows of conductive terminals, and enhances the stability of the connector.

Abstract
Description

[0002] The electric connector is widely used in the electronic product field because of its stable electrical performance, and the TYPE-C connector becomes one of the widely used connectors because of its fast transmission speed, support for hot plug, no distinction between front and back and many other advantages.
[0003] In order to improve the plug-in life of the TYPE-C connector, a middle steel sheet needs to be arranged in the TYPE-C connector, and the arrangement mode of the middle steel sheet is divided into two kinds: the first kind is to arrange a whole middle steel sheet between the upper row of conductive terminals and the lower row of conductive terminals, although the overall strength of the connector is high, but since the middle steel sheet is a conductive material, short circuit is prone to occur between the upper and lower rows of conductive terminals in the middle position of the connector, therefore, insulating glue needs to be filled between the middle steel sheet and the conductive terminals, but the industry association currently stipulates that the thickness of the tongue piece of the TYPE-C connector is 0.7mm, after deducting the thickness of the upper and lower rows of conductive terminals and the middle steel sheet, the filling thickness of the insulating glue is only 0.12-0.18mm, and the glue deficiency phenomenon is prone to occur, and finally short circuit is prone to occur between the upper and lower rows of conductive terminals. The second kind is to arrange two independent middle steel sheets between the upper row of conductive terminals and the lower row of conductive terminals and close to the positions of the two side grounding terminals, this mode can increase the filling thickness of the insulating glue and avoid the glue deficiency phenomenon, but this will cause the overall strength of the connector to be reduced and the plastic to be easily deformed, finally resulting in poor contact stability.
