[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0058] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0059] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "communication" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components.

[0062] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. This application provides a vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, etc. The vehicle 1000 can also be a sedan, bus, truck, etc.

[0064] The vehicle 1000 includes a body and multiple electronic devices installed on the body. These electronic devices may include, but are not limited to, signal lines, wires, power modules, battery management units, on-board chargers, on-board wiring, domain controllers, motor controllers, air conditioning controllers, and so on.

[0065] Multiple electronic devices typically require electrical connections to facilitate signal transmission between them, enabling drivers and passengers to operate the vehicle.

[0066] To facilitate the connection between multiple electronic devices, the vehicle 1000 also includes a connector 200. The connector 200 is used to connect different electronic devices. It should be noted that, in this application, "different electronic devices" refers to two independent electronic devices; that is, the two electronic devices can be of the same type, different types, or have the same structure, etc.

[0067] For example, the power domain controller and the motor controller are connected via connector 200 to facilitate information exchange between them, enabling convenient control and optimization of the motor. As another example, the on-board charger and the battery are connected via connector 200 to allow the battery to transfer electrical energy to the on-board charger, facilitating the charging of terminal devices such as mobile phones by passengers.

[0068] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the mating structure of the male connector 300 and female connector 400 provided in an embodiment of this application. The connector 200 can mate with a connection structure connected to an electronic device for connection. For example, the connector 200 and the connection structure on the electronic device can form a matching male connector 300 and female connector 400. That is, one of the male connector 300 and the female connector 400 is the connector 200, and the other is the connection structure. This application is based on... Figure 2 The male connector 300 is the connector 200, and the female connector 400 is the connection structure, which is described by way of example.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a connector 200 provided in an embodiment of this application. The connector 200 can be an Ethernet connector or a USB connector. The connector 200 may include a connection terminal module 10, which is used to connect two electronic devices that need to be connected, so as to facilitate signal transmission between the two electronic devices.

[0070] The connector 200 may also include a protective housing 20, which has a protective channel 20A through which the connection terminal module 10 passes. The protective housing 20 can protect the connection terminal module 10 to prevent damage to it.

[0071] In some embodiments, there are multiple protective channels 20A and multiple connection terminal modules 10, with one connection terminal module 10 passing through one protective channel 20A. This allows different connection terminal modules 10 to be inserted into different protective channels 20A, thereby avoiding the situation where too many connection terminal modules 10 are placed in one protective channel 20A, which would be detrimental to the stability of the connection terminal modules 10 within the protective channel 20A.

[0072] Furthermore, the connection terminal module 10 can be modularized. This allows multiple connection terminal modules 10 to be manufactured using a single mold. Then, based on the number of connection channels required by the connector 200, a protective shell 20 with a corresponding number of protective channels 20A can be manufactured. The corresponding number of connection terminal modules 10 are then inserted into different protective channels 20A. Thus, during the manufacturing process of the connector 200, if the number of channels changes, it is not necessary to change the manufacturing mold for the connection terminal module 10; only the manufacturing mold for the protective shell 20 needs to be changed. This reduces the manufacturing cost associated with changing the mold, thereby lowering the overall manufacturing cost of the connector 200.

[0073] In some other embodiments, the number of protective channels 20A and the number of connection terminal modules 10 may also be one.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows a front view of the connector 200. Figure 5 for Figure 3 The diagram shows a right-side view of the connector 200. Multiple protective channels 20A include multiple sets of protective channels 20A, which extend along the width direction of the connection terminal module 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The protective channels 20A in each group are arranged in the direction X, and the protective channels 20A in each group are arranged along the thickness direction of the connecting terminal module 10 (e.g., in the direction X). Figure 4 The connection terminal module 10 is arranged in the Y direction. That is, the connection terminal module 10 is generally a cuboid structure, and the length direction of the connection terminal module 10 (e.g., the Y direction) is arranged in the Y direction. Figure 5 The direction Z in the middle is consistent with the axis of the protective channel 20A.

[0075] With the above settings, the space occupied by multiple connection terminal modules 10 is smaller in the width direction, thereby making the space occupied by the connector 200 smaller, so as to facilitate the miniaturization design of the connector 200.

[0076] For example, connector 200 can be connected to a circuit board, with the length direction of connector 200 perpendicular to the circuit board, the width direction parallel to the circuit board, and the thickness direction parallel to the circuit board.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 3 The diagram shows an exploded view of the connector 200. The connector 200 may also include a retaining cover 30, which is connected to the end of the connection terminal module 10 facing away from the protective shell 20. The retaining cover 30 further secures the connection terminal module 10, ensuring its stability. Furthermore, the retaining cover 30 also protects the end of the connection terminal module 10 facing away from the protective shell 20, improving the protection effect on the connection terminal module 10.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the connection terminal module 10 in the connector 200. The connection terminal module 10 includes a housing 1 and a terminal body 2. The housing 1 has a sheet-like structure and a first receiving channel 1A is formed inside the housing 1. The terminal body 2 passes through the first receiving channel 1A.

[0079] In this way, the terminal body 2 can be integrated into the housing 1, making the connection terminal module 10 modular. When there are multiple connection terminal modules 10 in the connector 200, multiple connection terminal modules 10 can be processed using the same set of molds. Therefore, when the number of channels that the connector 200 needs to connect changes, only the number of connection terminal modules 10 needs to be adjusted, without changing the molds of the connection terminal modules 10. This avoids the cost increase caused by changing the molds of the connection terminal modules 10, thereby reducing the processing cost of the connector 200.

[0080] Furthermore, the sheet-like structure of the housing 1 can reduce the thickness of the connection terminal module 10, thereby reducing the size of the connector 200 in the thickness direction of the connection terminal module 10, so as to facilitate the miniaturization of the connector 200.

[0081] In some examples, the shell 1 can be a block structure, a plate structure, an irregular structure, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations on it.

[0082] In some examples, terminal body 2 can be a differential pair signal terminal.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 for Figure 7The diagram shows an exploded view of the connection terminal module 10. The terminal body 2 includes a first connector 21, a second connector 22, and a strip-shaped connecting portion 23. The first connector 21 is connected to one end of the strip-shaped connecting portion 23, and the second connector 22 is connected to the other end of the strip-shaped connecting portion 23. The strip-shaped connecting portion 23 is used to transmit signals between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are used to connect different electronic devices.

[0084] By connecting the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 through the strip connector 23, the size of the terminal body 2 in the direction perpendicular to its length can be reduced, thereby reducing the size of the connection terminal module 10 in the thickness direction and the size in the width direction, so as to reduce the space occupied by the connection terminal module 10.

[0085] Furthermore, when the connector 200 includes multiple connection terminal modules 10, the size of the connector 200 can be reduced along both the thickness and width directions of the connection terminal modules 10, thereby further reducing the volume of the connector 200 and the space occupied by the connector 200. For example, for a connector 200 with two sets of connection terminal modules 10, each set of connection terminal modules 10 including three connection terminal modules 10, compared to the previous version, the height (i.e., the dimension in the width direction of the connection terminal modules 10) remains basically unchanged, while the width (i.e., the dimension in the thickness direction of the connection terminal modules 10) can be reduced from the original 27mm to 16mm, thereby saving 40% of space.

[0086] In other embodiments, the terminal body 2 may also be a sheet structure, a column structure, etc., and this application does not specifically limit it.

[0087] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 The strip-shaped connecting portion 23 is provided in the first receiving channel 1A. Along the extending direction of the first receiving channel 1A, at least a portion of the first connector 21 is located on one side of the first receiving channel 1A, and at least a portion of the second connector 22 is located on the other side of the first receiving channel 1A.

[0088] The strip-shaped connecting part 23 is provided in the first receiving channel 1A. The housing 1 can fix and protect the strip-shaped connecting part 23. At least part of the first connector 21 is located on one side of the first receiving channel 1A, and at least part of the second connector 22 is located on the other side of the first receiving channel 1A. When connecting to the electronic device through the first connector 21 and the second connector 22, the space restriction can be reduced, and the connection between the first connector 21 and the electronic device and the second connector 22 can be facilitated.

[0089] In some other embodiments, the first connector 21 and / or the second connector 22 may also be disposed within the first receiving channel 1A. In this case, the electronic device's connection structure can extend into the first receiving channel 1A to connect with the first connector 21 and / or the second connector 22.

[0090] In some embodiments, the connection terminal module 10 further includes a first injection molded part 6, which covers the outer periphery of the terminal body 2. The first injection molded part 6 can provide insulation protection for the terminal body 2 to avoid the risk of leakage caused by the terminal body 2 being exposed.

[0091] In some embodiments, there are multiple first receiving channels 1A, which are spaced apart on the plane of the housing 1 to support and protect the terminal body 2.

[0092] Multiple terminal bodies 2 can be accommodated by multiple first receiving channels 1A, so that multiple terminal bodies 2 can be integrated into the housing 1, thereby improving the integration efficiency of the connection terminal module 10. Furthermore, the multiple first receiving channels 1A distributed on the plane of the housing 1 can also avoid the connection terminal module 10 being too thick, which would affect the miniaturization of the connector 200.

[0093] For example, the number of terminal bodies 2 can be 2. In addition, the number of terminal bodies 2 can also be other numbers, such as 1, 3, 4, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on this.

[0094] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 7 The housing 1 includes adjacent first side 1B and second side 1C, both of which are parallel to the thickness direction of the housing 1. For example, the housing 1 has opposing first side 1B and third side 1D in the length direction and opposing second side 1C and fourth side 1E in the width direction. First side 1B and third side 1D are both connected between second side 1C and fourth side 1E, such that first side 1B is adjacent to second side 1C, and third side 1D and fourth side 1E are also adjacent.

[0095] One end of the first receiving channel 1A is located on the first side 1B, and the other end of the first receiving channel 1A is located on the second side 1C. In this way, while ensuring the length of the terminal body 2, the space occupied by the terminal body 2 in the housing 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the length of the housing 1 and further reducing the volume of the connection terminal module 10.

[0096] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 6The connection terminal module 10 also includes a fixing member 3, which can be a plastic part. The fixing member 3 is connected to the side facing the second side 1C and is used to connect the portion of the terminal body 2 extending from the opening of the first receiving channel 1A on the second side 1C. In this way, the connection terminal body 2 can be further fixed by the fixing member 3 to improve the stability of the connection terminal.

[0097] In some examples, the fastener 3 can be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, a strip-like structure, etc. This application does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0098] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 8 The first receiving channel 1A includes an arc-shaped segment 1A-1, and at least a portion of the terminal body 2 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the arc-shaped segment 1A-1. That is, the arc-shaped segment 1A-1 may be partially arc-shaped, or the arc-shaped segment 1A-1 may be entirely arc-shaped.

[0099] In this way, by matching the arc-shaped segment 1A-1 with the arc-shaped structure of the terminal body 2, the first receiving channel 1A can better limit the terminal body 2, ensuring the stability of the terminal body 2 within the housing 1. Furthermore, setting at least a portion of the terminal body 2 to an arc-shaped structure allows for a smoother transition of the curved section of the terminal body 2, thereby reducing signal radiation loss and improving the signal transmission efficiency of the terminal body 2.

[0100] In other examples, the first receiving channel 1A can be a linear structure, a polygonal structure, a wavy structure, and so on.

[0101] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and a shielding member 12. The housing body 11 is provided with a second receiving channel 11A, and the shielding member 12 is disposed within the second receiving channel 11A. The shielding member 12 is provided with a first receiving channel 1A.

[0102] In this way, the shielding member 12 can be accommodated through the second receiving channel 11A on the housing body 11, which can limit the position of the shielding member 12, thereby making the installation position of the shielding member 12 relatively accurate. Through the first receiving channel 1A on the shielding member 12, the terminal body 2 can be located inside the shielding member 12, and the shielding member 12 can shield the terminal body 2, avoiding interference from external signals to the terminal body 2 and improving the stability of signal transmission of the terminal body 2.

[0103] In some examples, the shield 12 can be a metal component, such as copper, aluminum, etc. In some embodiments, the shield 12 is a stamped component. Stamping can ensure that the shield 12 has a thinner thickness, thereby further reducing the volume of the connection terminal module 10.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 for Figure 7 This is an exploded view of a portion of the structure of the connection terminal module 10. The shielding member 12 includes a first shielding member 121 and a second shielding member 122. At least one of the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122 is provided with a first receiving groove 121A. The first shielding member 121 is connected to the second shielding member 122, and the first receiving groove 121A forms a first receiving channel 1A. That is, the first shielding member 121 may be provided with the first receiving groove 121A. Alternatively, the second shielding member 122 may be provided with the first receiving groove 121A. Or both the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122 may be provided with the first receiving groove 121A.

[0105] This application is illustrated by way of example, with a first receiving groove 121A provided on both the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122. The first receiving groove 121A on the first shielding member 121 and the first receiving groove 121A on the second shielding member 122 are joined together to form a first receiving channel 1A.

[0106] By setting the shielding components as the first shielding component 121 and the second shielding component 122, the terminal body 2 can be placed in the first receiving groove 121A. Then, the first shielding component 121 and the second shielding component 122 are connected and fixed, thereby accommodating the terminal body 2 in the first receiving groove 121A, which facilitates the connection between the terminal body 2 and the shielding component.

[0107] In some embodiments, the connection terminal module 10 further includes a second injection molded part 7, which covers the outer periphery of the first shield 121 to protect the first shield 121 and prevent the first shield 121 from directly contacting the terminal body 2 and affecting the performance of the terminal body 2.

[0108] In some embodiments, the connection terminal module 10 further includes a third injection molded part 8, which covers the outer periphery of the second shield 122 to protect the second shield 122 and prevent the second shield 122 from directly contacting the terminal body 2 and affecting the performance of the terminal body 2.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first shielding member 121 includes a first connecting portion 121B and a first protrusion 121C protruding from the first connecting portion 121B away from the second shielding member 122; the first connecting portion 121B is connected to the second shielding member 122. The first connecting portion 121B is provided with a first receiving groove 121A, which is recessed from the side surface of the first connecting portion 121B facing the second shielding member 122 to the first protrusion 121C.

[0110] The number of first protrusions 121C can be multiple, so as to form multiple first receiving grooves 121A, thereby facilitating the installation of multiple terminal bodies 2.

[0111] The first connecting portion 121B allows for easy connection with the second shielding member 122, thereby facilitating the formation of the first receiving groove 121A into the first receiving channel 1A. Furthermore, by providing a first protrusion 121C in the first connecting portion 121B, and then recessing the first receiving groove 121A into the first protrusion 121C, the recess depth of the first receiving groove 121A can be guaranteed, and the material and volume of the first shielding member 121 can be reduced.

[0112] In some other embodiments, the first shielding member 121 may also be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, etc., in which case the first receiving groove 121A can be directly formed on the first shielding member.

[0113] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second shielding member 122 includes a second connecting portion 122A and a second protrusion 122B that protrudes from the second connecting portion 122A away from the first shielding member 121; the second connecting portion 122A is connected to the first connecting portion 121B; the second connecting portion 122A is also provided with a first receiving groove 121A, which is recessed from the side surface of the second connecting portion 122A facing the first shielding member 121 to the second protrusion 122B.

[0114] The number of the second protrusions 122B and the effect of the second shield 122 can be referred to the first shield 121, and this application will not elaborate on them in detail.

[0115] In some other embodiments, the second shielding member 122 may also be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, etc., in which case the first receiving groove 121A can be directly formed on the second shielding member.

[0116] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting portion 121B and the second connecting portion 122A is provided with a first positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning hole. When the first connecting portion 121B and the second connecting portion 122A are connected, the first positioning protrusion can pass through the first positioning hole to position the first connecting portion 121B and the second connecting portion 122A, thereby facilitating the connection of the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122.

[0117] In some other embodiments, the shielding member can also be a single integral part, that is, the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122 are an integral structure. In this case, the terminal body 2 can be inserted into the first receiving channel 1A to realize the connection between the shielding member and the terminal body 2.

[0118] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 8 The housing body 11 includes a first body 111 and a second body 112. At least one of the first body 111 and the second body 112 is provided with a second receiving groove 111A. The first body 111 is connected to the second body 112, and the second receiving groove 111A forms a second receiving channel 11A. That is, the first body 111 may be provided with the second receiving groove 111A, or the second body 112 may be provided with the second receiving groove 111A, or both the first body 111 and the second body 112 may be provided with the second receiving groove 111A, thus forming a second receiving channel 11A, in which the first shielding member 121 and the second shielding member 122 are both accommodated in the second receiving channel 11A.

[0119] For example, both the first body 111 and the second body 112 may be provided with a second receiving groove 111A.

[0120] The housing body 11 includes a first body 111 and a second body 112. When the shield and terminal body 2 are placed in the second receiving channel 11A, the shield and terminal body 2 can be placed in the second receiving groove 111A. Then, the first body 111 and the second body 112 are connected so that the second receiving groove 111A forms the second receiving channel 11A, and the shield and terminal body 2 are located in the second receiving channel 11A. This facilitates the connection between the shield, the terminal body 2 and the housing body 11.

[0121] In some embodiments, both the first body 111 and the second body 112 are provided with a second receiving groove 111A. The first protrusion 121C of the first shielding member 121 is located within the second receiving groove 111A of the first body 111, and the second protrusion 122B of the second shielding member 122 is located within the second receiving groove 111A of the second body 112. The first connecting portion 121B of the first shielding member 121 and the second connecting portion 122A of the second shielding member 122 may be located between the first body 111 and the second body 112.

[0122] In some other embodiments, the housing body 11 can also be a single integral part, that is, the first body 111 and the second body 112 are an integral structure. In this case, the shielding member and the terminal body 2 can be inserted into the second receiving channel 11A to realize the connection between the shielding member, the terminal body 2 and the housing body 11.

[0123] In some embodiments, the connection terminal module 10 further includes a first connector 4, which is disposed around the housing 1 and is used to connect the fixing cover 30 and the protective housing 20 of the connector 200. By connecting the fixing cover 30 and the protective housing 20 through the first connector 4, it is convenient to connect the connection terminal module 10 to the fixing cover 30 and to the protective housing 20.

[0124] In some examples, the first connector 4 and the housing 1 can be connected by snap-fit, screw-fit, adhesive, or other methods. In other examples, the first connector 4 and the housing 1 can also be integrally molded, for example, by injection molding.

[0125] In some examples, the first connector 4 can be an L-shaped plate structure, a rod structure, etc. The first connector 4 can also be a U-shaped plate structure, a rod structure, etc., and this application does not specifically limit it in this regard.

[0126] In some embodiments, the first connector 4 includes a first fixing part 41 and a second fixing part 42 for connecting the fixing cover 30. The first fixing part 41 is disposed opposite to the first side 1B, and the second fixing part 42 is disposed opposite to the second side 1C.

[0127] For example, the first connector 4 includes a first part 44 and a second part 45. The first part 44 is located on the third side opposite to the first side 1B, and the second part 45 is located on the fourth side 1E opposite to the second side 1C. A first fixing part 41 is provided on the first part 44, and a second fixing part 42 is provided on the second part 45.

[0128] The first fixing part 41 and the second fixing part 42 can be fixed to both ends of the fixing cover 30, thereby ensuring the connection effect between the fixing cover 30 and the housing 1.

[0129] In some examples, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 Both the first fixing part 41 and the second fixing part 42 can be a groove-shaped structure, a hole-shaped structure, a snap-fit ​​gap structure, etc. The fixing cover 30 can include a first fixing plate part 31 and a second fixing plate part 32. The first fixing plate is located on the side of the first part 44 that is away from the first side 1B, and the second fixing plate part 32 is connected to the first fixing plate part 31 and is located on the side of the second part 45 that is away from the second side 1C.

[0130] The first fixing plate portion 31 has a bent portion at one end away from the second fixing plate portion 32. The bent portion bends toward the second portion 45 and is engaged within the first fixing portion 41. The second fixing plate portion 32 has its end away from the first fixing plate portion 31 engaged within the second fixing portion 42.

[0131] In some other embodiments, the first fixing part 41 and the second fixing part 42 of the first connector 4 are provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions, and the two ends of the fixing cover 30 may be provided with grooves. The first connector 4 and the fixing cover 30 can also be fixedly connected by snap-fit ​​protrusions and snap-fit ​​grooves.

[0132] In other examples, the first fixing part 41 and the fixing cover 30, as well as the second fixing part 42 and the fixing cover 30, can be connected by means of screwing, riveting, etc. This application does not impose specific limitations.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first connector 4 further includes a first snap-fit ​​protrusion 43, which is located on the side of the second fixing portion 42 near the first side 1B, for connecting the protective shell 20. For example, the protective shell 20 is connected to one end of the housing 1 opposite to the second portion 45 of the first connector 4.

[0134] In this way, when connecting the terminal module 10 to the protective shell 20, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 can extend into the first receiving channel 1A of the protective shell 20 along with the terminal module 10, so that the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 abuts against the inner wall surface of the first receiving channel 1A, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​between the terminal module 10 and the protective shell 20. This facilitates the connection between the terminal module 10 and the protective shell 20, improving assembly efficiency.

[0135] In some other embodiments, the first connector 4 and the protective shell 20 can also be connected by means of screwing, riveting, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments, the connection terminal module 10 further includes a second connector 5, which is connected to the second side 1C for connecting the protective shell 20.

[0137] In this way, by connecting the second connector 5 to the protective shell 20 and combining the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 43 with the protective shell 20, multiple positions of the connection terminal module 10 can be connected to the protective shell 20, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connection terminal module 10 and the protective shell 20.

[0138] In some examples, the second connector 5 can be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, an irregular structure, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations on it.

[0139] In some examples, the second connector 5 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​protrusion. When connecting the connector module 10 to the protective housing 20, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion can extend into the first receiving channel 1A of the protective housing 20 along with the connector module 10, so that the second snap-fit ​​protrusion abuts against the inner wall surface of the first receiving channel 1A, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​between the connector module 10 and the protective housing 20. This facilitates the connection between the second connector 5 and the protective housing 20.

[0140] In some other examples, the second connector 5 and the protective shell 20 can also be connected by means of screwing, riveting, etc.

[0141] The assembly process of the connection terminal module 10 is described below.

[0142] Specifically, during the assembly of the connection terminal module 10, a stamping process is used to process the metal terminal body 2 into a sheet shape, as shown below. Figure 10 The terminal body 2 is inserted into the injection mold for molding, so that the first injection molded part 6 is wrapped together with the terminal body 2, as shown below. Figure 11 The second shielding component 122, made of metal, is processed into a sheet shape using a stamping process, as shown below. Figure 12 The second shielding component 122 is inserted into the injection mold and molded, so that the third injection molded component 8 is wrapped together with the second shielding component 122, as shown below. Figure 13 ;Will Figure 11 and Figure 13 The pre-designed positioning pins are used to assemble the semi-finished product, as shown below. Figure 14 The first shielding component 121, made of metal, is processed into a sheet shape using a stamping process, as shown below. Figure 15 The first shielding component 121 is inserted into the injection mold and molded, so that the second injection molded component 7 is wrapped together with the first shielding component 121, as shown below. Figure 16 ;Will Figure 16 and Figure 14 The pre-designed positioning pins are used to assemble the product into a finished product, as shown below. Figure 7 This method of coordination is simple and efficient.

[0143] This application utilizes a stamping process to integrate the first shielding component 121, the second shielding component 122, and the terminal body 2 into a single unit. This facilitates the modular design of the connection terminal module 10, and the stamped parts are relatively small in size and thin, resulting in a smaller overall size for the connection terminal module 10 while maintaining a constant height. Compared to traditional connectors in the industry, this reduces dimensions by 40%, thereby achieving the miniaturization requirement of the connector 200.

[0144] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
