[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connectors, and more particularly to a 7P connector. Background Technology
[0002] USB Type-C connectors are widely used in various electronic products such as mobile phones. They are typically mounted on the circuit board of these products and play a crucial role in signal transmission. They feature high transmission speeds, support for reversible insertion, and high current operation. In existing technology, USB 2.0 Type-C connectors generally include a shielding shell, an insulating base, and upper and lower rows of terminals housed within the insulating base. During the wire bonding process to the circuit board, the upper and lower rows of terminals are usually soldered separately to the circuit board. Circuitry connecting the upper and lower rows of terminals is pre-installed on the circuit board to ensure conductivity. However, this method requires soldering each pin of the upper and lower rows of terminals to the circuit board individually, resulting in a large number of solder wires, cumbersome wiring operations, and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The plug-in component has a plug-in end and a connecting end disposed opposite to each other. The connecting end is connected to a circuit board, and the circuit board has a plurality of solder points that can be soldered to the connecting wire.
[0005] In one embodiment, the plug-in component includes a metal connecting plate and an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate disposed on both sides of the metal connecting plate, wherein a connecting guide strip is embedded in both the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate.
[0006] In one embodiment, one of the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning hole. The metal connecting plate is provided with a through hole opposite to the positioning hole, so that the positioning protrusion can pass through the through hole and cooperate with the positioning hole.
[0007] In one embodiment, the positioning protrusion is disposed on the lower mounting plate, and the positioning hole is disposed on the upper mounting plate.
[0008] In one embodiment, the positioning protrusion includes a mating portion and an abutting portion connected together, the outer edge of the abutting portion abutting and connected to the positioning hole, and the mating portion being located at the end of the positioning protrusion and having a diameter smaller than that of the positioning hole.
[0009] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the contact portion is provided with a plurality of contact protrusions, and the contact protrusions are in contact with the inner wall of the positioning hole.
[0010] In one embodiment, the abutment protrusion is an elastic element.
[0011] In one embodiment, the 7P connector further includes an adhesive block disposed at the connection end to seal the through hole.
[0012] In this invention, the 7P connector includes a housing and a plug-in component. The housing has an axially penetrating through-hole, and the plug-in component is disposed within the through-hole. The plug-in component has a plug-in end and a connecting end disposed opposite to each other.

[0022] This utility model provides a 7P connector.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the 7P connector provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10 and a plug-in component 20. The housing 10 has an axially penetrating through hole 11. The plug-in component 20 is disposed in the through hole 11. The plug-in component 20 has a plug-in end and a connecting end disposed opposite to each other. The connecting end is connected to a circuit board 30. The circuit board 30 has a plurality of solder points 31 that can be soldered to the connecting line 32.
[0024] In this embodiment, the 7P connector includes a housing 10 and a plug-in component 20. The housing 10 has an axially penetrating through hole 11, and the plug-in component 20 is disposed within the through hole 11. The plug-in component 20 has a plug-in end and a connecting end disposed opposite to each other. The connecting end is connected to a circuit board 30, and the circuit board 30 has a plurality of solder points 31 that can be soldered to the connecting wires 32. Therefore, in this technical solution, by connecting the circuit board 30 to the plug-in component 20 and soldering the connecting wires 32 to the solder points 31 on the circuit board 30, the number of solder wires can be reduced, and soldering is performed on the outside of the housing 10, which facilitates operation and improves convenience.
[0025] The plug-in component 20 includes a metal connecting plate 21 and an upper mounting plate 22 and a lower mounting plate 23 disposed on both sides of the metal connecting plate 21. A connecting guide strip 24 is embedded in both the upper mounting plate 22 and the lower mounting plate 23. In this embodiment, the connecting guide strip 24 is installed through the upper mounting plate 22 and the lower mounting plate 23. Compared to the prior art where the connecting guide strip 24 is directly fixed to the metal connecting plate 21, this effectively improves the stability and lifespan of the connecting guide strip 24.
[0026] Furthermore, one of the upper mounting plate 22 and the lower mounting plate 23 is provided with a positioning protrusion 25, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 26. The metal connecting disc 21 is provided with a through hole 27 opposite to the positioning hole 26, allowing the positioning protrusion 25 to pass through the through hole 27 and engage with the positioning hole 26. In this embodiment, the engagement of the positioning protrusion 25 and the positioning hole 26 improves the stability of the connection between the upper mounting plate 22 and the lower mounting plate 23, making it easier to assemble into the housing 10. Optionally, the positioning protrusion 25 is provided on the lower mounting plate 23, and the positioning hole 26 is provided on the upper mounting plate 22.
[0027] The positioning protrusion 25 includes a connecting mating portion 251 and an abutting portion 252. The outer edge of the abutting portion 252 abuts against the positioning hole 26. The mating portion 251 is located at the end of the positioning protrusion 25 and its diameter is smaller than that of the positioning hole 26. In this embodiment, the abutting portion 252 can be configured to gradually expand along the direction of disengagement from the positioning hole 26, so that the abutting portion 252 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole 26. Alternatively, a snap-fit plate can be used for snap-fit to improve stability.
[0028] Furthermore, the sidewall of the contact portion 252 is provided with a plurality of contact protrusions 253, which abut against the inner wall of the positioning hole 26. The contact protrusions 253 are elastic elements. Therefore, when connected to the positioning hole 26 via contact, the contact protrusions 253 deform to tightly engage with the inner wall of the positioning hole 26.
[0029] In addition, the 7P connector also includes an adhesive block 12, which is disposed at the connection end to seal the through hole 27. The adhesive block 12 only seals the connection end to further improve the waterproof performance of the connector, and can also further limit the position of the mating component 2020.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
