The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein, The joint sub-rubber core has a first lapping segment sub-rubber core combination structure and a second lapping segment sub-rubber core combination structure which combine the first lapping segment sub-rubber core and the second lapping segment sub-rubber core respectively, so that the joint sub-rubber core, the first lapping segment sub-rubber core and the second lapping segment sub-rubber core are combined into a sub-rubber core combination body.

8. The electrical connector of claim 7, wherein, The first lapping segment sub-rubber core combination structure and the second lapping segment sub-rubber core combination structure are concave-convex structures.

9. The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein, The first terminal lapping segment and the second terminal lapping segment each have a first terminal lapping segment joint and a second terminal lapping segment joint at one end thereof, the insulating rubber core has a first core hollow hole and a second core hollow hole, and the first terminal lapping segment and the second terminal lapping segment extend through the first core hollow hole and the second core hollow hole respectively, so that the first terminal lapping segment joint and the second terminal lapping segment joint are exposed.

10. The electrical connector of claim 9, wherein, The first terminal lapping segment joint and the second terminal lapping segment joint are crimping joints.

11. The electrical connector of claim 9, wherein, The electrical connector further comprises a liquid-proof rubber material which is filled into the first core hollow hole and the second core hollow hole respectively to prevent liquid from penetrating into the first core hollow hole and the second core hollow hole respectively.

12. The electrical connector of claim 9, wherein, The electrical connector further comprises a liquid-proof gasket which extends to a position adjacent to the first core hollow hole and the second core hollow hole to prevent liquid from penetrating into the first core hollow hole and the second core hollow hole respectively.

13. The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein, The first joint direction and the first lapping direction are substantially perpendicular and orthogonal, and the second joint direction and the second lapping direction are substantially perpendicular and orthogonal.

14. The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein, The first joint direction and the second joint direction are substantially the same, and the first lapping direction and the second lapping direction are substantially the same.
