[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which indicate the fisheye terminal of one embodiment of the utility model. The fisheye terminal 1 of the embodiment includes a mating piece 10, a limiting piece 20 and a plug-in piece 30.

[0025] The mating piece 10 is arranged to form electrical connection with the terminal of the mating connector, and the mating piece 10 of the embodiment is needle-shaped, which can be used in the wire-to-board connector or the board-to-board connector.

[0026] The limiting piece 20 is connected to the mating piece 10 and extends along the direction perpendicular to the mating piece 10. The limiting piece 20 has length and width greater than the diameter of the plug-in hole of the circuit board, so that when the plug-in piece 30 is inserted into the plug-in hole of the circuit board, the limiting piece 20 can abut against the surface of the circuit board to form limiting.

[0027] The plug-in piece 30 is connected to the limiting piece 20 and has a fisheye structure 30a and is arranged to be inserted into the plug-in hole of the circuit board. The fisheye structure 30a interferes with the hole wall of the plug-in hole of the circuit board to produce stress deformation, so as to abut against the hole wall of the plug-in hole, and the plug-in force between the fisheye terminal 1 and the circuit board is generated by the friction force between the fisheye structure 30a and the hole wall. The friction force is related to the abutting force of the fisheye structure 30a abutting against the hole wall, and the abutting force of the fisheye structure 30a is related to the deformation amount of the fisheye structure 30a producing stress deformation, so the shape and size of each part of the fisheye structure 30a will affect the deformation amount of the fisheye structure 30a when being inserted into the plug-in hole, and further affect the plug-in force between the fisheye terminal 1 and the circuit board.

[0028] The docking piece 10 and the plug-in piece 30 are parallel to each other and extend in opposite directions, and the limiting piece 20 is perpendicular to the docking piece 10 and the plug-in piece 30.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 The fisheye structure 30a of the embodiment includes a plug-in part 31, a connecting part 32 and a deformed abutting part 33, the plug-in part 31 and the connecting part 32 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the deformed abutting part 33, the connecting part 32 is connected to the limiting piece 20, the plug-in part 31 is a free end, and the end thereof is tapered to facilitate insertion into the plug-in hole of the circuit board. The deformed abutting part 33 includes two arc-shaped stress deformation bodies 331, the two arc-shaped stress deformation bodies 331 are connected to each other to form a symmetrical structure having a fisheye hole 30b in the center. The fisheye hole 30b is a hollow structure and does not have any other structures or components arranged therein.

[0030] The connection between the plug-in part 31 and each arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 has a first radius of curvature R1, the part 331a of each arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 close to the plug-in part 31 has a second radius of curvature R2, and the part 331b of each arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 close to the connecting part 32 has a third radius of curvature R3, the second radius of curvature R2 is greater than the third radius of curvature R3, and the third radius of curvature R3 is greater than the first radius of curvature R1.

[0031] The first radius of curvature R1 of the embodiment is in the range of 0.60 mm to 1.00 mm, the second radius of curvature R2 is in the range of 2.60 mm to 3.00 mm, and the third radius of curvature R3 is in the range of 2.00 mm to 2.40 mm. Preferably, the first radius of curvature R1 of the embodiment is 0.80 mm, the second radius of curvature R2 is 2.82 mm, and the third radius of curvature R3 is 2.25 mm.

[0032] The fisheye hole 30b has a longest distance and a shortest distance between opposite wall surfaces, an axis defined by the longest distance is defined as a major axis L1, and an axis defined by the shortest distance is defined as a minor axis L2, the major axis is parallel to the docking piece 10, and the minor axis L2 is orthogonal to the major axis L1.

[0033] The long axis L1 intersects with the fisheye hole 30b at a first position P1 and a second position P2, the first position P1 is farther away from the limiting piece 20 than the second position P2, the connecting part 32 is connected with the limiting piece 20 at a third position P3, the distance between the first position P1 and the second position P2 is the longest distance, which is 1.30mm to 1.70mm, and the distance between the first position P1 and the third position P3 is 2.00mm to 2.40mm. Preferably, the distance between the first position P1 and the second position P2 of the embodiment is 1.40mm, and the distance between the first position P1 and the third position P3 is 2.08mm. Thus, based on the shape and size of each part of the fisheye structure 30a, the plug-in part 30 is inserted into the plug-in hole of the circuit board, and at least 50NT of force is required to separate the plug-in part 30 from the plug-in hole.

[0034] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cross section of each arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 is circular arc-shaped away from the edge 331c of the fisheye hole 30b.

[0035] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The plug-in part 30 of the fisheye terminal 1 of the embodiment is inserted into the plug-in hole H1 of the circuit board P, the arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 of the deformation abutting part 33 of the fisheye structure 30a of the plug-in part 30 is interfered to produce stress deformation with the hole wall of the plug-in hole H1, and the limiting piece 20 abuts against the surface of the circuit board P. Since the cross section of each arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 is circular arc-shaped away from the edge 331c of the fisheye hole 30b, when the plug-in part 30 is inserted into the plug-in hole H1 of the circuit board P, the arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 has a larger contact area with the hole wall of the plug-in hole H1, and the arc-shaped stress deformation body 331 has a better configuration matching with the hole wall of the plug-in hole H1, which can avoid damaging the metal plating layer of the hole wall of the plug-in hole H1, and reduce the impedance between the fisheye terminal 1 and the metal plating layer.

[0036] The fisheye terminal structure of the utility model has smaller plug-in force when the fisheye terminal structure of the utility model is connected with the circuit board. Moreover, the cross section of each arc-shaped stress deformation body is circular arc-shaped away from the edge of the fisheye hole, which can avoid damaging the metal plating layer of the hole of the circuit board.
