[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the solution of this utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0031] In the field of connector technology, there are connectors that combine power and signal terminals, with power transmission contact terminals and signal transmission contact terminals arranged adjacent to each other.

[0032] In actual operation, during the removal of the male and female ends of the connector, the female terminal on the female end may be dragged, resulting in the female terminal falling off during the removal process. This affects the service life of the female end of the connector and the user experience.

[0033] To resolve the above technical issues, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a female connector end, which is applied to a female terminal. The female terminal has a snap-fit ​​ring groove on its female connection end, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the female connection end. The female connection end refers to the part of the female terminal that is connected to the female terminal body 110.

[0034] Specifically, the female end of the connector may include a female end body 110 and a female end limiting member 120. The female end body 110 includes a first body segment 111 and a second body segment 112 connected in sequence in the insertion direction. The first body segment 111 and the second body segment 112 form a female end mating groove 113, and the opening of the female end mating groove 113 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the female end body 110.

[0035] The first main body segment 111 includes a first female end hole, the first female end hole being in the insertion direction (e.g.) Figure 1 The first main body segment 111 extends through the first main body segment 112 in the vertical direction shown in the figure. The second main body segment 112 includes a second female end hole that is directly opposite to the first female end hole. The second female end hole extends through the second main body segment 112 in the insertion direction. Both the first female end hole and the second female end hole are connected to the female end mating groove 113.

[0036] There are multiple first female end holes and multiple second female end holes, with each set of first female end holes and second female end holes corresponding to a specific female terminal.

[0037] Specifically, a side enclosure section is provided between the first main body section 111 and the second main body section 112. One end of the side enclosure section is connected to the first main body section 111, and the other end is connected to the second main body section 112. The first main body section 111, the second main body section 112 and the side enclosure section together define the female end mating groove 113.

[0038] Taking the first main body segment 111 and the second main body segment 112 as examples, which are roughly cuboids, the side panels can protect one, two, or three sides between the first main body segment 111 and the second main body segment 112.

[0039] The female end limiting member 120 is inserted into the female end mating groove 113 through the open opening. The female end limiting member 120 is provided with a third female end hole 121, which penetrates the female end limiting member 120 in the insertion direction.

[0040] The female end limiting member 120 includes a first position and a second position. When the female end limiting member 120 is in the first position, the female connecting section passes through the first female end hole, the third female end hole 121 and the second female end hole in sequence. The side wall of the third female end hole 121 is directly opposite the snap-fit ​​groove. When the female end limiting member 120 is in the second position, the side wall of the third female end hole 121 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0041] It can be understood that during the process of assembling the female terminal to the female terminal body 110, the female terminal limiting member 120 is first inserted into the first position, and the female terminal is passed through the first female terminal hole, the third female terminal hole 121 and the second female terminal hole. Then, the female terminal limiting member 120 is pushed so that the female terminal limiting member 120 moves from the first position to the second position, so that the side wall of the third female terminal hole 121 is engaged in the snap-fit ​​groove. In this way, the side wall of the third female terminal hole 121 can provide a limiting in the insertion direction for the snap-fit ​​groove, and provide a limiting when the female terminal is dragged, so as to prevent the female terminal from falling out of the mating position, thereby extending the service life of the connector.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the sidewall of the third female end hole 121 includes a limiting surface 1211 near the open opening. When the female end limiting member 120 is in the second position, the sidewall of the limiting surface 1211 is engaged in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0043] In this context, it can be understood that, taking the cross-section of the third female end hole 121 as a rectangular shape as an example, the limiting surface 1211 is the surface near the open side. In this way, when assembling the female end limiting member 120 to the female end body 110, it is only necessary to insert the female end limiting member 120 a portion so that the female end limiting member 120 reaches the first position, and then insert it further so that the female end limiting member 120 reaches the second position, so that the side wall on the side where the limiting surface 1211 is located can abut against the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0044] Therefore, by setting the side wall where the limiting surface 1211 is located, the limiting with the female terminal is achieved, thus preventing the female terminal from disengaging from the mating position.

[0045] The female end limiting member 120 is engaged with the female end mating groove 113, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the female end limiting member 120 and the female end body 110.

[0046] Specifically, the female end limiting member 120 includes a first side surface, the plane of which the first side surface is perpendicular to the plane of the open opening, and a first locking tooth 122 is provided on the first side surface. The female end mating groove 113 includes a first inner wall opposite to the first side surface, and the first inner wall is provided with a first locking groove that mates with the first locking tooth 122.

[0047] Thus, the first locking tooth 122 and the first locking groove achieve the locking connection between the female end limiting member 120 and the female end body 110.

[0048] Furthermore, the female end limiting member 120 may also include a second side opposite to the first side, the second side being provided with a second locking tooth, and the female end mating groove 113 including a second inner wall opposite to the second side, the second inner wall being provided with a second locking groove that mates with the second locking tooth.

[0049] Therefore, by setting the first locking tooth 122 and the second locking tooth on the opposite first and second sides, the stability of the engagement between the female end limiting member 120 and the female end body 110 can be guaranteed.

[0050] Furthermore, the first locking tooth 122 includes a first sub-tooth 1221 and a second sub-tooth 1222, which are sequentially spaced apart in the depth direction of the female end mating groove 113; wherein, when the female end limiting member 120 is in the first position, the first sub-tooth 1221 engages with the first locking groove, and when the female end limiting member 120 is in the second position, the second sub-tooth 1222 engages with the first locking groove.

[0051] In this way, by setting the first tooth 1221, the female end limiting member 120 can be stopped at the first position, and by setting the second tooth 1222, the female end limiting member 120 can be stopped at the second position.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the plurality of first female terminal holes include first female holes and second female holes. The diameter of the first female hole is larger than that of the second female hole, that is, the first female hole and the second female hole have different specifications. The first female hole and the second female hole correspond to two different specifications of female terminals. In this way, the connector hole segment can be adapted to the electrical connection of female terminals of different specifications.

[0053] Furthermore, the multiple first female terminal holes also include third female holes, the diameter of which is larger than that of the first female holes. In this way, the connector female terminal can be adapted to three different specifications of female terminals, improving the integration and applicability of the connector female terminal.

[0054] In order to better save the arrangement space of multiple first female end holes, the larger third sub-hole can be arranged on the circumferential outer side of multiple second sub-holes, and the first sub-hole is arranged between the second sub-hole and the third sub-hole.

[0055] This application also provides a male connector terminal; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The male connector mates with the female connector. The male connector is applied to the male terminal and includes a male terminal body 130 that mates with the female terminal body 110. The male terminal body 130 has a male terminal hole, which is located in the insertion / removal direction (e.g., ...). Figure 3 The male terminal body 130 is penetrated in the vertical direction shown in the figure, the male terminal is inserted into the male terminal hole, and the male connection end of the male terminal extends out of the male terminal hole.

[0056] The male connector is the part that mates with the male terminal body 130. By providing the male terminal body 130 that mates with the female terminal body 110, electrical connection is achieved between electrical components connected to the female terminal and electrical components connected to the male terminal.

[0057] The number of male end holes corresponds to the number of first female end holes, that is, the first female end holes and the male end holes are in one-to-one correspondence.

[0058] Specifically, the male end body 130 includes a insertion cavity 131 and an auxiliary component 140. The insertion cavity 131 has an opening facing the female end body 110. The male connection end is located inside the insertion cavity 131. The auxiliary component 140 is disposed inside the insertion cavity 131. The auxiliary component 140 includes an auxiliary hole 141. The auxiliary hole 141 penetrates the auxiliary component 140 in the insertion direction. The male connection end passes through the male end hole and the auxiliary hole 141 in sequence.

[0059] The number of male end holes and auxiliary holes are in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0060] In this way, by setting the auxiliary component 140, the male connection end of the male terminal can be circumferentially limited, the length of the protruding part of the male connection end can be reduced, thereby improving the effect of the skew phenomenon and playing a role in straightening the male connection end.

[0061] It should be noted that the cross-section of the auxiliary component 140 matches the cross-section of the insertion cavity 131. In this way, when the auxiliary component 140 is installed in the insertion cavity 131, the auxiliary component 140 fits tightly with the insertion cavity 131, and the auxiliary component 140 will not wobble in the insertion cavity 131, further avoiding the occurrence of misalignment of the male connector end.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the peripheral wall of the male terminal hole is provided with a positioning hole 132, and the male terminal of the connector also includes a card kit, which is inserted into the positioning hole 132 and respectively engaged with the peripheral wall of the male terminal and the positioning hole 132.

[0063] Specifically, the card set is a C-shaped nest 150. The opening of the C-shaped nest 150 extends into the positioning hole 132 and is fitted onto the male connector end. It is engaged with the male terminal and the peripheral wall of the positioning hole 132 respectively, thereby positioning the male terminal corresponding to the positioning hole 132.

[0064] It should be noted that the larger the diameter of the terminal, the greater the insertion and extraction force it experiences during the insertion and extraction of the male terminal body 130 and the female terminal body 110, making it more prone to detachment. When both the male and female terminals are of large diameter, a C-shaped nest 150 can be used to further limit the movement of the larger diameter terminals, preventing them from detaching during insertion.

[0065] The C-type nest 150 includes a limiting boss 151, which abuts against the wall of the positioning hole 132 to provide a limit for the male terminal in the insertion and removal direction.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the male terminal hole includes a fourth sub-hole and a fifth sub-hole, with the diameter of the fourth sub-hole being larger than that of the fifth sub-hole. In this way, the male terminal of the connector can simultaneously connect to male terminals of the fourth and fifth sub-hole specifications, improving the versatility and integration of the male terminal of the connector.

[0067] Furthermore, the male terminal may also include a sixth female terminal, the diameter of which is larger than that of the fourth female terminal. This allows the connector male terminal to connect to three different sizes of male terminals simultaneously, improving the versatility and integration of the connector male terminal.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to reduce the overall volume of the male connector and improve the integration of the male connector hole, the fifth and sixth sub-holes with larger diameters can be set on the circumferential outer side of the fourth sub-hole.

[0069] The fourth sub-hole can be matched with the diameter of the first sub-hole, the fifth sub-hole can be matched with the diameter of the second sub-hole, and the sixth sub-hole can be matched with the diameter of the third sub-hole.

[0070] This application also provides a connector, which includes a male connector end and a female connector end that mate with each other. The female connector end can be the female connector end in the above-described scheme, and the male connector end can be the male connector end in the above-described scheme.

[0071] This application also provides an electrical device that may include a first electrical component, a second electrical component, and a connector, wherein the connector is connected between the first electrical component and the second electrical component.
