The shell is connected to the outside of the body, and the shell covers the lower end, front end, and left and right sides of the body, thereby limiting and fixing the shorting busbar within the body. The body and the shell are provided with multiple mutually cooperating protrusions and limiting holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a second protrusion is provided on the lower left and right sides of the main body, and the second protrusion is a triangular protrusion structure; a third limiting hole is provided on the lower left and right sides of the outer shell, and the third limiting hole is nested and engaged with the second protrusion.

[0009] Furthermore, a third protrusion is provided at the rear end of the left and right side walls of the main body above the second protrusion, and a limiting groove is provided on the rear side walls of the outer shell to cooperate with the third protrusion, thereby limiting the accurate installation position of the outer shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower left and right sides of the main body are respectively provided with first limiting holes, and each first limiting hole is connected to a terminal hole; each pin of the shorting busbar is pre-installed with a spring piece, which locks the position of the shorting busbar after being embedded in the first limiting hole by its own elastic force.

[0011] Moreover, the number of through holes corresponds one-to-one with the number of pins of the shorting busbar.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the structure and advantages of this utility model clearer, the structure of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The vertical direction, horizontal direction, front end, rear end, etc., in the embodiments are all relative positional descriptions and do not limit the actual orientation of the product.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A novel shorting connector includes a main body 1, a housing 2, and a shorting busbar 3. The main body 1 has multiple vertical through holes, each of which is an independent terminal compartment 12. A shorting busbar 3 is connected to the lower end of the main body 1. The shorting busbar 3 has multiple vertical pins, each of which is embedded in a through hole, thereby enabling the multiple terminal compartments 12 to achieve conductive internal connection. The housing 2 is connected to the outside of the main body 1. The housing 2 covers the lower end, front end, and left and right sides of the main body 1, so that the shorting busbar 3 is limited and fixed inside the main body 1 to prevent it from falling off.

[0028] The connector in this structure has an internal BUSBAR that provides internal connection for the terminals of each insertion terminal hole 11, connecting the terminals of each terminal hole 11 in series. Shorting connections are used instead of soldering; the connector uses a shorting busbar 3BUSBAR for shorting the circuits. The connector and wires are connected using a more mature terminal and pin configuration to connect each wire harness circuit, thus achieving the purpose of shorting.

[0029] To ensure structural stability, the main body 1 and the outer shell 2 are equipped with multiple interlocking protrusions and limiting holes. While protecting the BUSBAR from exposure, the outer shell 2 provides a secondary locking function for the terminals, ensuring that the locking function of the terminals does not fail when connected, making it more reliable.

[0030] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a first protrusion 13 is provided at the lower front end of the main body 1, and a second limiting hole 22 is provided at the lower front end of the outer shell 2. The second limiting hole 22 is matched with the size and position of the first protrusion 13, and the first protrusion 13 can be inserted into the second limiting hole 22 to prevent the outer shell 2 from shaking left and right or up and down.

[0031] The left and right sides of the main body 1 are provided with through grooves extending in the front and back direction, and two fourth protrusions 17 are provided at intervals along the upper edge of the through grooves; the left and right sides of the outer shell 2 are provided with a protrusion 25 at the upper end, and the mating surface of the protrusion 25 and the fourth protrusion 17 is provided with an arc corner to facilitate installation and lock the side wall positions of the main body 1.

[0032] The lower left and right sides of the main body 1 are respectively provided with a second protrusion 14, which is a triangular protrusion structure; the lower left and right sides of the outer shell 2 are each provided with a third limiting hole 24, which is nested with the second protrusion 14 for limiting.

[0033] A third protrusion 16 is provided on the rear ends of the left and right side walls of the main body 1 above the second protrusion 14. The rear side walls of the outer shell 2 are provided with limiting grooves that cooperate with the third protrusion 16 to limit the accurate installation position of the outer shell 2.

[0034] See appendix Figure 5 , 6 As shown, first limiting holes 15 are respectively provided on the lower left and right sides of the main body 1, and each first limiting hole 15 is connected to a terminal hole 11.

[0035] Each pin of the shorting busbar 3 is pre-installed with a spring piece 4. The spring piece 4 locks the position of the shorting busbar 3 after it is embedded into the first limiting hole 15 by its own elastic force.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] See appendix Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a four-pin shorting busbar 3 is used, and the main body 1 is provided with four terminal holes 11. Each pin of the shorting busbar 3 is correspondingly set in a terminal hole 11.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] See appendix Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a six-pin shorting busbar 3 is used, and the main body 1 is provided with four terminal holes 11. The PIN of each shorting busbar 3 is correspondingly set in a terminal hole 11.

[0040] Example 4

[0041] See appendix Figure 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a seven-pin shorting busbar 3 is used, and the main body 1 is provided with four terminal holes 11. Each pin of the shorting busbar 3 is correspondingly set in a terminal hole 11.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
