Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, and in particular relates to a connector with a novel short pin structure. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors, also known as plugs and sockets, are the common term for electrical connectors in China. They are devices that connect two active components to transmit current or signals. Connectors bridge gaps in circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function. They are indispensable components in electronic devices, simplifying assembly and mass production while improving the ease of maintenance and upgrades.
[0003] As a type of connector, the size of the mating gap between the male and female terminals of a high-speed connector is crucial to the signal integrity of the entire system. If the mating gap between the male and female terminals is too large, it will lead to an increase in differential impedance, which in turn will affect the accurate transmission of high-speed signals.

[0024] The following drawings will disclose several embodiments of this utility model. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these physical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.
[0025] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0026] This embodiment provides a connector with a novel short pin structure. The connector with the novel short pin structure has a monitoring short pin 30 provided in the female terminal 20. After the monitoring short pin 30 contacts the spring sheet 11 of the male terminal 10, it can effectively monitor the mating angle and gap of the connector so as to make subsequent adjustments. This effectively avoids the situation where the differential impedance increases, thereby affecting the accurate transmission of high-speed signals.
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the connector with a novel short pin structure in this embodiment includes a male terminal 10, a female terminal 20, and a monitoring short pin 30. After the male terminal 10 and the female terminal 20 are engaged, the connector is connected. The monitoring short pin 30 is located inside the female terminal 20 to monitor the mating angle and gap of the connector.
[0028] In this embodiment, the male terminal 10 is provided with a plurality of spring sheets 11 and a male protrusion 40. The number of male protrusions 40 is several and they are evenly distributed on the male terminal 10. The male protrusions 40 are integrally formed with the male terminal 10. The spring sheets 11 are evenly distributed on both sides of the male protrusions 40 for insertion. The female terminal 20 is provided with a plurality of fitting structures 21. The fitting structures 21 cooperate with the spring sheets 11 to connect the connector. When the male terminal 10 is inserted into the female terminal 20, the spring sheets 11 will enter into the female terminal 20 and contact the fitting structures 21, thereby realizing the conduction of the connector.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the female terminal 20 is provided with an embedding groove 50, and the fitting structure 21 is located in the embedding groove 50. After the male end protrusion 40 is inserted into the embedding groove 50, the spring sheet 11 contacts the fitting structure 21 to connect the connector. In this embodiment, the fitting structure 21 includes a plurality of contact springs. When the spring sheet 11 enters the embedding groove 50 of the female terminal 20, the spring sheet 11 will contact the contact springs to realize the conduction of the connector.
[0030] Combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the monitoring pins 30 are located in the insertion groove 50. There are at least four monitoring pins 30, located at the four corners of the female terminal 20. When the connector is connected, the monitoring pins 30 contact a spring sheet 11. The end of the monitoring pin 30 is provided with a monitoring part 31. After the end of the monitoring pin 30 contacts the spring sheet 11, the monitoring part 31 determines the mating angle and gap of the connector. In this embodiment, there are four monitoring pins 30, located at the four corners of the female terminal 20. When the male terminal 10 of the connector is inserted into the female terminal 20, the connector is in a connected state. The monitoring pins 30 located in the insertion groove 50 monitor the mating angle and gap of the connector under the monitoring of the monitoring part 31, so as to make subsequent adjustments, thereby effectively avoiding the situation where the differential impedance increases, thus affecting the accurate transmission of high-speed signals. In this embodiment, the monitoring pins 30 are shorter than the contact springs. If the monitoring pins 30 can contact the spring sheet 11, it indicates that the other contact springs have completed contact with the spring sheet 11.
[0031] In practical use, the connector with the novel short pin structure in this embodiment has a monitoring short pin 30 in the female terminal 20. After the monitoring short pin 30 contacts the spring sheet 11 of the male terminal 10, it can effectively monitor the mating angle and gap of the connector so that subsequent adjustments can be made. This effectively avoids the situation where the differential impedance increases, thereby affecting the accurate transmission of high-speed signals.
