[0030] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0031] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the embodiment provided by this utility model relates to a branch terminal 2, which includes two bases 21 arranged vertically. One end of one base 21 extends to provide a wiring portion 22 for wiring. Different wiring portions 22 are electrically connected to each other through a connecting portion 24.

[0034] Obviously, as different structural methods, in other embodiments, each branch terminal may also include multiple bases arranged vertically, or two or more bases arranged horizontally, or even multiple bases arranged circumferentially, that is, the bases of each branch terminal may be arranged in an array of at least two; different bases may also be electrically connected through connecting parts, or different bases and different wiring parts may be electrically connected through connecting parts, which can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs; those skilled in the art can understand and obtain the above different structural methods through conventional means based on the above description, therefore, more examples will not be described in detail.

[0035] Furthermore, to meet the requirements for better conductive connection performance, in this embodiment, the branch terminal 2 has at least one connection surface 221 for splicing cables formed at the connection portion 22. In fact, as shown... Figure 2-3 As shown, since the substrate 21 and the wiring part 22 are sheet-like structures, the wiring surface 221 is actually formed by the side of the wiring part 22.

[0036] Furthermore, to facilitate detachable connection with cables, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a through hole 222 is provided through the wiring part 22. A nut 23 is installed in the through hole 222 of the wiring part 22 provided at one end of different bases 21. A threaded hole 232 is provided in the nut 23 along the axial direction. The cable is fixed on the wiring surface 221 and conductive connection is achieved by connecting the cable to the nut 23 with a suitable bolt.

[0037] Furthermore, considering commonly used technologies and meeting the needs of adaptable scenarios, such as... Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 21 is a sheet structure, the branch terminal 2 is composed of two bases 21 arranged vertically, and they are connected by the connecting part 24 to form a U-shaped structure. The nut 23 is installed between the wiring part 22 provided at one end of the two bases 21, and the two ends of the nut 23 are respectively inserted into the corresponding through hole 222.

[0038] Obviously, in other embodiments, the substrate can also be a columnar structure. The columnar structure can also meet the above-mentioned requirements for setting the wiring part, wiring surface, nut, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand and obtain the specific structure of the substrate by conventional means, so more examples will not be described in detail.

[0039] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the nut 23 and the through hole 222, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, both ends of the nut 23 are formed with insertion ends 231. The two insertion ends 231 are respectively inserted into the corresponding through holes 222 and are fixedly connected to the corresponding through holes 222 by riveting process. In addition, in order to ensure that the cable can have good contact with the wiring surface 221, the insertion ends 231 should not protrude from the through holes 222.

[0040] Furthermore, considering the shape and structure of the branch terminal 2, as well as the appropriate process and cost, in this embodiment, the branch terminal 2 is integrally formed by a stamping process, that is, the base 21, the wiring part 22 and the connecting part 24 are integrally formed structures.

[0041] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the embodiments of this utility model also relate to a split connector, which includes a connector 1 for mating and a mating connector 3; the connector 1 includes a housing 11 and two split terminals 2 as described above installed in the housing 11, that is, this split connector is actually a two-to-four connector, one end of the base 21 extends to be provided with a wiring part 22 for wiring, and the other end is inserted and mated with the mating terminal 31 provided in the mating connector 3.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to mate with the mating terminals 31 within the mating connector 3, and to meet the requirements for fixing, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 21 includes a plug-in portion 211 for plugging into the mating terminal 31, and a fixing portion 212 for fixed assembly with the housing 11. The plug-in portion 211, the fixing portion 212 and the wiring portion 22 are connected in sequence. The fixing portion 212 is provided with a barb structure 213. The housing 11 is provided with an installation channel 12. The fixing portion 212 passes through the installation channel 12 and is fixedly assembled with the installation channel 12 through the barb structure 213.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to adapt to the arrangement spacing of the mating terminals 31, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection points of the two fixing parts 212 and the corresponding wiring parts 22 are all bent so that the two wiring parts 22 are offset towards each other, or it can be considered that the two fixing parts 212 are offset away from each other.

[0044] Obviously, in other embodiments, more branch terminals can be provided inside the connector housing as needed.

[0045] In actual use, the processed branch terminal 2 can be installed into the installation channel 12 first, and then the housing 11 can be fixed on the equipment installation interface to complete the installation of connector 1. Then, the cable can be fixed and electrically connected to the wiring surface 221 by bolts. Finally, the mating connector 3 can be correctly plugged into connector 1.
