The fixing members vertically fix the pair of connecting plates 51 and the separator. Several mounting holes 14 are respectively provided on the same side of the pair of connecting plates 51 and the contact finger structures.
[0026] Specifically, mounting hole 14 is a through hole, which has a wide range of applications; the universal design of mounting hole 14 allows the connector to adapt to different application requirements, and through different termination technologies, it ensures that the connector can be installed on various electronic devices to achieve electrical connection between electronic devices and electronic components; mounting hole 14 ensures the stability and reliability of electrical connection, while providing safety protection.
[0027] The separator of this utility model divides the space between a pair of connecting plates 51 into several cavities, and each cavity is respectively provided with One The contact structure; the fixing member vertically fixes a pair of connecting plates 51 and the separator to enhance the firmness and safety of the connection, maintain the clamping force, and ensure a large contact area.
[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the separator includes a plurality of separator plates 61 and a pair of support blocks 62. The longitudinal sections of the plurality of separator plates 61 are H-shaped with adjacent plates connected one to one. The pair of support blocks 62 are respectively longitudinally arranged at the bottom of both ends of the separator in the length direction.
[0029] Furthermore, baffles 63 are vertically provided at the front and rear ends of the upper and lower surfaces of the H-shaped middle part of the partition plate 61, respectively, and the baffles 63 are used to fix and restrict the perimeter of the finger-touching structure.
[0030] The longitudinal section of the partition plate 61 is H-shaped, with baffles 63 vertically installed at the front and rear ends of the H-shape. The contact finger structure is secured around its perimeter, fixing its position and preventing movement that could lead to electrical instability and damage to the connector. This enhances the seal between the connector and the device panel, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture and dust, and improving the overall reliability of the device. The partition plate 61 and baffles 63 together simplify the connector structure, enhance mechanical stability, optimize insertion and extraction forces, and extend the connector's service life without compromising performance.
[0031] The use of a pair of baffles 63 for end face fixing simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the connector, making installation and disassembly more convenient and faster. By increasing the contact area and friction of the connector, it effectively prevents the connector from loosening due to vibration, ensures the stability of the circuit connection, increases the number of mating cycles, and extends the service life of the connector.
[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the length and width of the pair of connecting plates 51 and partition plates 61 are equal, and the fixing element is a set of threaded screws 71. Several fixing holes are provided at the four corners and the center of the connecting plates 51 and partition plates 61, and a set of threaded screws 71 is inserted into each fixing hole to fix the connecting plates 51 and partition plates 61.

[0033] The above fasteners are secured using threaded connections, enhancing the strength and safety of the connection. The threaded screw assembly 71 further strengthens connection stability and prevents elastic fatigue. Compared to using snap-fit fasteners, using threaded screw assemblies to secure the components ensures that the connector is less prone to loosening or detachment under vibration, impact, or other external forces, thus guaranteeing connection stability. The high adjustability allows users to adjust the tightening force according to specific application needs to achieve the best connection effect.
