[0002] Currently, single-head Type-C connectors on the market cannot achieve multi-functional scenarios such as bidirectional power supply or data transmission, and cannot meet high-performance requirements. Existing double-head Type-C connectors have defects such as frequent plugging and unplugging, which can easily lead to wear of the interface metal contacts and poor contact. In addition, the simple fixed two Type-C plugs do not have enough plugging and unplugging force, occupy a large space, and are prone to problems such as being too loose and falling off, or being too tight and accelerating wear.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper surface of the plastic shell is also provided with a pair of suspended guide portions and a resilient button portion. The guide portions are located on the outside of the insertion cavity and extend backward to connect with the resilient button portion.
[0006] Furthermore, a connecting portion is provided between each of the guide portions and the elastic button portions. The width of the connecting portion is greater than the width of the guide portion. A T-shaped stop block is provided between the two connecting portions. The stop block is at least partially located above the connecting portion to prevent the elastic button portion from popping outward.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface edge of the plastic shell is provided with a pair of shielding parts, which are located above the connecting part.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking member includes an integrally connected flat plate portion, a pair of cantilever portions extending from both ends of the flat plate portion, and a central clamping portion between the pair of cantilever portions. The pair of cantilever portions abut against the two outer side walls of the plastic inner core, and the central clamping portion is inserted between the two plastic inner cores to simultaneously lock the two connectors in the plastic outer shell.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a rear cover, which includes side-by-side sockets, and the connector includes a plug and a cable, the plug extending from the socket cavity of the plastic housing, and the cable extending rearward from the socket.
[0010] Furthermore, the rear end face of the plastic shell is provided with a pair of square latches, and the rear cover is provided with a pair of snap-fit protrusions, which engage with the latches to connect the plastic shell and the rear cover.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0020] This application provides a double-ended Type-C connector to solve the technical problems of insufficient insertion and extraction force and low transmission efficiency in existing Type-C connectors. It should be noted that in this application, the direction of the plug relative to the cable is front, front end, or forward, and the opposite direction is rear, rear end, or back; the direction of the button relative to the locking member is up, above, upper side, upper end, top, top tip, or top, and the opposite direction is down, below, lower side, lower end, bottom, bottom tip, or bottom.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 The following is an embodiment of this application: (See details below) Figures 1-3 A TYPE C connector includes: a plastic housing 10, and two longitudinally penetrating and side-by-side insertion cavities 101 inside the plastic housing 10, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 To improve the accuracy and strength of the connection with the mating connector, the upper surface of the plastic housing 10 is provided with a pair of suspended guide portions 104, a resilient button portion 105, and a connecting portion 106 between the guide portions 104 and the resilient button portion 105. The guide portions 104 are located on the outside of the insertion cavity 101 and extend backward to connect with the resilient button portion 105. As a preferred embodiment, the width of the connecting portion 106 is greater than the width of the guide portions 104. The plastic housing 10 is also provided with a T-shaped stop block 107, which is used to prevent the resilient button portion 105 from springing upward. At the same time, the upper surface edge of the plastic housing 10 is also provided with a pair of blocking portions 108, which are formed by bending the plastic body 10 upward as a single piece. The blocking portions 108 are located above the connecting portion 106, and their function is also to prevent the resilient button portion 105 from springing upward.
[0022] Reference Figure 3 The insertion cavity 101 contains a plastic inner core 20 and a connector 30 disposed inside the plastic inner core 20. A slot 102 is provided on the lower surface of the plastic outer shell 10, and a locking member 40 is detachably inserted into the slot 102.

The pair of cantilever portions 403 abut against the two outer side walls of the plastic inner core 20, and the central clamping portion 402 is inserted between the two plastic inner cores 20 to lock the two plug-in members 30 simultaneously in the plastic outer shell 10.
[0023] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the connector also includes a rear cover 50, which includes side-by-side sockets 502. The connector 30 includes a plug 301 and a cable 302. The plug 301 extends out of the plastic housing 10, and the cable 302 passes through the sockets 502 and extends out. To securely fix the rear cover 50 and the plastic housing 10, a pair of square latches 103 are provided on the upper and lower rear ends of the plastic housing 10. The shape of the latches 103 can be any shape and is not limited here. A pair of snap-fit protrusions 501 are provided at the front end of the rear cover 50. The snap-fit protrusions 501 engage with the latches 103 to connect the plastic housing 10 and the rear cover 50.
[0024] In summary, this embodiment achieves the effects of saving space, improving connection strength and transmission efficiency by setting an integral plastic shell 10 on the outside of the two plug-in parts 30 and fixing it with a locking part 40.
