[0004] The first needle connector is assembled on the circuit board by welding, and the welding process is not easy to meet the environmental protection standards, affects the physical and mental health of assembly workers, and is not easy to install, and the height cannot be made very low, and cannot meet the application environment of ultra-thin requirement, the internal spring is easy to be stuck, causing the circuit to be not connected, and the waterproof performance is poor.

[0005] The second elastic sheet connector is assembled on the circuit board by welding, and the welding process is not easy to meet the environmental protection standards, affects the physical and mental health of assembly workers, and is not easy to install, and the length or width direction cannot be made very small, and cannot meet the application environment of smaller installation area, the contact is easy to move under stress, causing the circuit to be not connected, and the waterproof performance is poor.

[0006] The third conductive foam or conductive rubber connector has low conductivity due to the insufficient density of conductive particles and the dispersed arrangement in the base material, which cannot meet the requirements of the connector, and if the base material is conductive foam, the contact point is unstable due to the small density of the base material, causing unstable conductivity, and if the base material is conductive rubber, the conductive particles that can be accommodated are relatively few, and the conductivity is not high, and the waterproof performance is poor, therefore, we propose an elastic connector to solve the above problems.

[0012] The connector bottom plate and the elastic shell are both insulating layers.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:

[0014] Through being provided with the connector bottom plate, the elastic shell, the silica gel conductive block and the conductive particle, all adopt the silicone rubber as the base material, which can have higher waterproofness, avoids the damage due to water contact, improves the waterproof performance, also has higher insulation, prevents the elastic shell from contacting each other and the elastic shell from contacting the surrounding conductive parts and being conducted.
