Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and more particularly to a bent through-hole 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 operating environment.

[0003] Chinese patent CN210576875U discloses a 90° elbow connector, a plug assembly, and a socket assembly. The plug housing on the plug assembly and the socket housing on the socket assembly are fitted together and tightly coupled. After connection, the signal terminals are connected to the signal jack to realize signal transmission.

[0004] Although the terminals and spring contacts connect to conduct electricity and transmit signals, the stability of the connection is limited. This is because the preload between the terminals and spring contacts is limited, and the connection causes the terminals and spring contacts to make active contact, resulting in a relatively high contact resistance. As the temperature of the terminals and spring contacts rises, their mechanical properties will decrease to some extent, gradually leading to an increase in temperature. In other words, the temperature of various components in electronic and electrical equipment gradually increases above the ambient temperature, which in turn reduces the conductivity. This puts the entire elbow connector in a state of long-term thermal fatigue, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the elbow connector. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a bent through-hole connector.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A bent through-hole connector includes a housing having an integrally formed horizontal end and a vertical end;

[0008] The horizontal end is provided with a receiving groove, and the receiving groove contains an inner core I that is adapted to it. The inner core I is provided with a plug-in groove arranged along its central axis. One end of the plug-in groove is also provided with a positioning groove opened on the end face of the inner core I. The central axes of the plug-in groove and the positioning groove are perpendicular to each other, and the plug-in groove and the positioning groove contain L-shaped terminals I that are adapted to them.

[0010] Both terminal II and terminal I are provided with locking holes, and locking bolts can pass through the locking holes and be screwed into locking nuts.

[0011] Preferably, the terminal II includes an integrally formed vertical part I, an inclined part, and a vertical part II, wherein the vertical part I and the vertical part II are parallel; the limiting component includes at least a stop bar fixedly disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the inner core II, a limiting strip fixedly disposed on one side of the stop bar, the limiting strip being parallel to the stop bar, and the distance between the two being equal to the thickness of the vertical part I; the top of the stop bar is also provided with a retaining strip fixedly disposed on the inner core II, the retaining strip being placed in the retaining hole of the vertical part I.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is also fixed on the inner wall of the inner core II, and the side of the limiting plate abuts against the side of the vertical part II.

[0014] Preferably, the horizontal and vertical shielding sleeves are further provided with openings, and the horizontal and vertical shielding sleeves located inside the openings are bent upwards or downwards into fins, which can be placed in the slots of the shell, inner core I and inner core II.

[0015] Preferably, the vertical end away from the horizontal end is also fitted with a tail cap, which consists of a locking end and extension ends on both sides thereon.

[0022] 3. Placing the positioning block in the positioning slot allows for quick connection between the tail cap and the vertical end. This operation is simple and convenient, requiring no additional positioning or limiting structures, greatly saving costs and facilitating disassembly and installation, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the clamping end applies force to the pressing head, ensuring it remains pressed against the cable, thus clamping it securely and reliably, preventing the cable from falling out of the connector and maximizing safety.

[0023] 4. The shielding assembly prevents external electromagnetic fields from affecting the connector's signal transmission and also prevents internal signal energy from radiating outwards and interfering with other devices, effectively improving the connector's EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) capability. Simultaneously, the fins can be snapped onto the housing, inner core I, and inner core II, enabling rapid positioning without the need for welding or screws, simplifying the assembly process and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses a bent through-hole connector, including a housing 1. The housing 1 has an integrally formed horizontal end 11 and a vertical end 12. In this preferred embodiment, the horizontal end 11 and the vertical end 12 are integrally injection molded, that is, the housing 1 is a plastic part. This structure can achieve lightweighting and significantly reduce costs.
