The hinged connection between the second arm 112 and the third arm 211 is established by inserting the second hinge pin 1121 into the second hinge hole 2111. The first arm 111, second arm 112, third arm 211, and fourth arm 212 are respectively paired and hinged, forming an alternating arrangement, effectively increasing the structural integrity of the connection between the first and second connecting members, making the rotational connection more stable and reliable.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are multiple first terminals 12 arranged in a row, and the first contact portions 121 of the multiple first terminals 12 are respectively designed as blade-shaped and claw-shaped. There are also multiple second terminals 22, and the number and distribution of the second terminals 22 match the first terminals 12. The second contact portions 221 of the multiple second terminals 22 are also respectively designed as blade-shaped and claw-shaped.

This composite and interlaced design of blade-shaped and claw-shaped components helps to improve the insertion and connection performance of the first terminals 12 and the second terminals 22, ensures electrical conductivity, and meets the requirements for rotational adjustment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the root of the first support arm 111 is flush with the corresponding outer side of the first insulating body 11, while the outer surface of the root of the second support arm 112 is offset inward relative to the corresponding outer side of the first insulating body 11, forming a stepped first limiting part 113 on the first insulating body 11; the outer surface of the root of the third support arm 211 is flush with the corresponding outer side of the second insulating body 21, while the outer surface of the root of the fourth support arm 212 is offset inward relative to the corresponding outer side of the second insulating body 21, forming a stepped second limiting part 213 on the second insulating body 21; the first limiting part 113 and the second limiting part 213 are distributed on the left and right sides of the insertion direction, together limiting the relative rotation range between the first insulating body 11 and the second insulating body 21, so that the relative rotation angle between the first connector and the second connector can be adjusted from 0° to 90° up and down, which can be flexibly applied to more complex installation spaces.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are designed as identical integral components with the same structural form. This allows for arbitrary combination and use, minimizing inventory and reducing production costs. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 in this embodiment are based on two terminal specifications, but are not limited to 2-pin specifications; they are applicable to even-numbered pin specifications.

For those skilled in the art, many equivalent improvements and variations can be made to the above embodiments through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments without exceeding the concept and scope of the present invention, but these improvements and variations should all fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
