Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a Type-C connector, specifically a Type-C connector with flexible torsion protection. Background Technology
[0002] In modern electronic devices, Type-C connectors have gradually become a widely used standard interface due to their advantages such as bidirectional mating, high-speed data transmission, and high-power charging. However, with increasing usage frequency, connector damage issues encountered by users in daily operation are becoming increasingly apparent. Existing Type-C connectors typically employ a fixed connection design, lacking flexible torque protection. In daily use, improper force or torsion can easily damage the internal contact points, affecting connection stability and the normal operation of the device. When subjected to external torsion, the internal circuitry of existing connectors may experience poor contact, leading to unstable power supply and affecting the normal operation of the device. This situation is particularly evident during high-speed charging or data transmission, potentially causing device failure or data loss. Utility Model Content
