Description

A stacked energy storage connector Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a stacked energy storage connector. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are components that electronic engineers frequently encounter. Their function is very simple: to bridge gaps in circuits or between isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function. Connectors are indispensable components in electronic devices; following the path of current flow, you will always find one or more connectors. Connector forms and structures are incredibly diverse, varying depending on the application, frequency, power, and environment.

[0003] The energy storage stack connector is a type of connector that is mainly used for quick connection when stacking batteries, enabling series connection inside the energy storage box without the need for a large number of external wiring harnesses.

[0004] However, in traditional energy storage connectors, the fasteners and the connector body need to be locked together by a large number of bolts and fasteners. During the connection process, existing connectors are prone to errors that can cause the pins to bend. In addition, during the energy storage connection process, the connectors are prone to insufficient sealing, which can affect their use. Summary of the Invention
