Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0035] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be explained that the orientation or position relation indicated by the terms "vertical direction", "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and the like is the orientation or position relation based on the drawing shown, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, "first", "second", "third", "fourth" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] In the description of the utility model, it also needs to be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrange", "mount", "connect", "connect" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrally connected, it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected, it can be directly connected, or it can be connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The anti-abrasion terminal provided by the embodiment of the application is fixedly inserted into a terminal hole of an insulating shell 12, and comprises a first holding part 112 and a first abutting part 111. The first holding part 112 is used for being clamped with the insulating shell. The first abutting part 111 is connected to the first holding part 112 in extension. The first abutting part 111 is bent towards one side to form an arc-shaped contact point, and is provided with a first abutting surface 1111 along the length direction, and a second abutting surface 1112 and a third abutting surface 1113 arranged on both sides of the first abutting surface 1111. The second abutting surface 1112 and the third abutting surface 1113 are arc surfaces protruding outward. When the anti-abrasion terminal 11 is arranged in parallel with a counter terminal, the first abutting surface 1111 elastically guides the counter terminal. When the anti-abrasion terminal 11 is inclined, the second abutting surface 1112 or the third abutting surface 1113 elastically guides the counter terminal.

[0038] It can be understood that, for a conventional terminal, the abutting surfaces on both sides thereof are right-angled side edges. When the terminal is inclined, the terminal can only abut against the contact surface of the counter terminal through the right-angled side edges. In this case, the plated layer of the contact surface of the counter terminal is easily scratched, and the contact resistance is easily increased due to the small contact area, thereby affecting the contact stability between the terminals. The anti-abrasion terminal 11 provided by the embodiment of the application can guide the counter terminal through the arc surfaces on both sides when the anti-abrasion terminal 11 is inclined by a certain angle. In this arrangement, the frictional resistance of the insertion of the two terminals is smaller, which is beneficial to the insertion. Moreover, the contact resistance is smaller due to the larger contact area, the contact reliability is improved, and the stability and reliability of the insertion and contact can be ensured.

[0039] Further, in some embodiments, the projection width of the second abutting surface 1112 and the third abutting surface 1113 on the first abutting surface 1111 is smaller than the width of the first abutting surface 1111. In this arrangement, the face-to-face contact area of the first abutting surface 1111 and the counter terminal can be ensured, and the contact reliability is improved. Preferably, the projection width of the second abutting surface 1112 or the third abutting surface 1113 on the first abutting surface 1111 is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the width of the first abutting surface 1111. In this range, the anti-abrasion terminal 11 can have more stable contact with the counter terminal, and the contact performance is improved.

[0040] Further, in some embodiments, the first holding part 112 comprises a first clamping structure 1121, and the first clamping structure 1121 comprises a plurality of protruding barbs. It can be understood that the plurality of barbs are arranged on at least one end surface in the width direction of the first holding part 112, and are used for interference clamping with the insulating shell 12. Preferably, the barbs are symmetrically arranged on both end surfaces in the width direction of the first holding part 112, so that the connection between the first holding part 112 and the insulating shell 12 is more stable, and the stress is more uniform during assembly, and the inclination is less likely to occur.

[0041] Further, in some embodiments, the first holding part 112 further comprises a second clamping structure 1122, which comprises a plurality of clamping points arranged in the thickness direction of the first holding part 112. It can be understood that the plurality of clamping points are arranged on at least one end surface in the thickness direction of the first holding part 112, and are used to be fixedly connected with the insulating shell 12 by interference in the thickness direction. As preferred, the plurality of clamping points are arranged on one end surface in the thickness direction of the first holding part 112, and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the end surface, so that the connection between the first holding part 112 and the insulating shell 12 is more stable, and the stress is more uniform during assembly.

[0042] It can be understood that the first clamping structure 1121 and the second clamping structure 1122 can also be other structures that can be fixedly connected with the insulating shell 12, which are not described in detail herein. The anti-wear terminal 11 of the embodiment of the application is fixedly connected with the insulating shell 12 by interference in both the width direction and the thickness direction, so as to increase the holding force of the insulating shell 12 on the anti-wear terminal 11 and improve the stability.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments, the anti-wear terminal 11 further comprises a first soldering leg 113 arranged at an end of the first holding part 112 away from the first abutting part 111, and is used to be soldered with an external PCB. The first soldering leg 113 is arranged to be bent at an end portion close to the first holding part 112, and is connected to a middle portion of the first holding part 112, so that the end portion of the first holding part 112 connected to the first soldering leg 113 forms two exposed first supporting points 1123. During assembly, the anti-wear terminal 11 can be inserted into the insulating shell 12 by the stress of the first supporting points 1123. This arrangement can avoid the stress deformation of the first soldering leg 113, which may otherwise cause poor soldering and affect the stability of the connector.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1-7 The embodiment of the application also provides a female seat 10, which comprises the anti-wear terminal 11 and the insulating shell 12, and the anti-wear terminal 11 is fixedly inserted into the insulating shell 12.

[0045] Specifically, the insulating shell 12 is provided with a plurality of arrays of first terminal holes 121, and an inner wall of the first terminal hole 121 is provided with a first insertion slot 122 along the length direction thereof. The first holding part 112 is inserted into the first insertion slot 122, and the first clamping structure 1121 and the second clamping structure 1122 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the first insertion slot 122 by interference, so as to fix the anti-wear terminal 11. At this time, the first abutting part 111 is bent towards the middle portion of the first terminal hole 121 to form an arc-shaped contact point. The first soldering leg 113 is arranged outside the first terminal hole 121 and is soldered with an external PCB.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1-7The application also provides a connector, which comprises a male seat 20 and a female seat 10. The male seat 20 comprises a male seat shell 22 and a male seat terminal 21 fixedly arranged in the male seat shell 22. The first abutting part 111 elastically abuts against the male seat terminal 21 in the state of the male seat 20 and the female seat 10 being oppositely arranged.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments, the insertion end of the male seat terminal 21 is provided with a guide part 211, which is bent towards the side away from the wear-resistant terminal 11 and is arranged in an arc shape. In this way, the guide part 211 can play a guiding function when the male seat 20 and the female seat 10 are oppositely arranged, effectively reducing the resistance of the opposite arrangement and avoiding the terminal from being pulled out.

[0048] Further, in some embodiments, the male seat shell 22 is provided with a second terminal hole 221, and an inner wall of the second terminal hole 221 is provided with a second insertion slot 222, and the male seat terminal 21 is arranged in the second insertion slot 222.

[0049] Further, the male seat terminal 21 is also provided with a second holding part 213, which is provided with a clamping structure for interference connection with the second insertion slot 222, so as to increase the holding force of the male seat shell 22 on the male seat terminal 21 and avoid the male seat terminal 21 from being pulled out due to the plugging and unplugging. It can be understood that the clamping structure of the second holding part 213 can be the same as the first clamping structure 1121 or the second clamping structure 1122, or can be a combination of the first clamping structure 1121 and the second clamping structure 1122, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Further, in some embodiments, the guide part 211 is bent towards the middle part of the second terminal hole 221 and completely immersed in the inside of the second terminal hole 221. In this way, the male seat terminal 21 can be prevented from being bent and deformed due to the contact of the female seat 10 during the plugging process, so as to affect the connection performance of the male seat terminal 21 and the wear-resistant terminal 11.

[0051] Further, in some embodiments, the male seat terminal 21 further comprises a second abutting part 212 arranged between the guide part 211 and the second holding part 213. As an option, the second abutting part 212 is in a planar sheet shape, and the second abutting part 212 is guided to any one of the first abutting surface 1111, the second abutting surface 1112 or the third abutting surface 1113 in the state of the male seat 20 and the female seat 10 being oppositely arranged, so as to more stably connect with the wear-resistant terminal 11 and improve the contact stability of the connector.

[0052] Further, in some embodiments, the male seat terminal 21 further comprises a second soldering leg 214 connected to the second holding portion 213 away from one end of the second abutting portion 212, for welding with an external PCB. The second soldering leg 214 is bent near one end of the second holding portion 213 and connected to the middle of the second holding portion 213, so that the end of the second holding portion 213 connected to the second soldering leg 214 forms two exposed second support points 2131. During assembly, the male seat terminal 21 can be inserted into the male seat shell 22 by force through the second support points 2131. This arrangement can avoid deformation of the second soldering leg 214 due to stress, which can affect the stability of the connector.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are:

[0054] (1) The anti-wear terminal provided by the embodiments of the present application can reduce the frictional resistance of plugging by arranging the arc-shaped second abutting surface and third abutting surface on both sides of the first abutting surface, which is conducive to plugging. Moreover, the contact area of the two terminals to be plugged is increased, the contact resistance is reduced, the contact reliability is improved, and the stability and reliability of plugging and contact can be ensured.

[0055] (2) By arranging the first clamping structure in the width direction and the second clamping structure in the thickness direction, the holding force of the insulating shell on the anti-wear terminal is increased from both the width and thickness directions, and the stability of the female seat is improved.

[0056] (3) By arranging the exposed support points, the stress deformation of the soldering leg during assembly can be avoided, which can affect the stability of the connector.

[0057] (4) By arranging the arc-shaped guide portion at the insertion end of the male seat terminal, the guide function is achieved when plugging with the female seat, which can effectively reduce the plugging resistance and avoid the problem of terminal PIN withdrawal.

[0058] (5) By immersing the guide portion into the second terminal hole, the bending deformation of the male seat terminal caused by the contact of the female seat during plugging can be effectively avoided.

[0059] The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, some modifications and improvements can be made, and the present application also intends to include these changes and modifications.
