AI Technical Summary
In existing female connectors, the locking tab lacks restraint within the outer plastic shell of the connector when it is installed, which makes it easy for the terminals to wobble during insertion, affecting assembly stability and reliability.
A locking plate mounting structure was designed, including a main body, a fixing buckle group, a limiting protrusion and a stop head. The locking plate is fixed to the main body and the outer plastic shell through the snap-fit and limiting structure, ensuring the stable connection of the locking plate.
This achieves stable fixation of the locking piece within the outer plastic housing, improving the ease of terminal assembly and reliability, and ensuring the stability of the wiring harness terminals during vehicle operation.
