[0036] It should be noted that the male connector 10 is electrically connected to the battery, and the female connector 20 is electrically connected to the electronic device; or the male connector 10 is electrically connected to the electronic device, and the female connector 20 is electrically connected to the battery. The following explanation uses a mobile phone as an example, with the male connector 10 electrically connected to the battery and the female connector 20 electrically connected to the mobile phone.

[0037] Specifically, the first positive terminal 121 of the male connector 10 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the first negative terminal 122 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The second positive terminal 221 of the female connector 20 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the mobile phone control motherboard, and the second negative terminal 222 of the female connector 20 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the mobile phone control motherboard. Optionally, when the male connector 10 and the female connector 20 are engaged, the first positive terminal 121 and the second positive terminal 221 are electrically connected by spring clip compression, and the first negative terminal 122 and the second negative terminal 222 are electrically connected by spring clip compression. In summary, the mobile phone and the battery achieve electrical connection of the main circuit through the male connector 10 and the female connector 20.

[0039] In addition, the mobile phone and the battery can also achieve signal connection through the first signal terminal 14 on the male connector 10 and the second signal terminal 24 on the female connector 20 by spring clip compression. Specifically, the signal communication includes, but is not limited to, battery temperature detection, battery identification, signal clock, signal data transmission, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the male connector 13 is welded to the female connector 23. In some embodiments, the battery connector further includes fasteners, through which the male connector 13 and the female connector 23 are connected.

[0041] It should be noted that the male connector 13 and the female connector 23 can be connected by welding, by fastener locking, or by both welding and fastener locking.

[0042] Optionally, the male connector 13 is bent from one end of the male connector 10 along the thickness direction Z to the other end along the thickness direction Z, and the female connector 23 is bent from one end of the female connector 20 along the thickness direction Z to the other end along the thickness direction Z, thereby achieving the fit between the male connector 13 and the female connector 23, increasing the contact area and reducing the space occupied.

[0043] Understandably, the male connector 13 and the female connector 23 extend in the same direction. Taking the male connector 13 as an example, the male connector 13 can extend along the length direction X of the male connector 10, or it can extend along the width direction Y of the male connector 10, or the male connector 10 can be provided with male connector 13 in both the length direction X and the width direction Y.

Notches 1201 are formed on the edges of the male connector 13 and / or the female connector 23, and / or through holes 1202 are formed on the male connector 13 and / or the female connector 23. Taking the notches 1201 and / or through holes 1202 on the male connector 13 as an example, the length of the female connector 23 is greater than the length of the male connector 13, and the width of the female connector 23 is greater than the width of the male connector 13, so as to achieve effective welding between the male connector 13 and the female connector 23. Referring to 3, U-shaped notches 1201 are provided on the edges of the male connector 13 at one end in the length direction X and at both ends in the width direction Y, and through holes 1202 are also provided on the male connector 13.
