Connectors and sockets are commonly used power connection components in automobiles. To ensure ease of installation, existing connector sockets typically include device-side sockets and adapter sockets. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN219833102U discloses an adapter high-voltage connector assembly. This assembly includes an adapter component (i.e., an adapter socket) and a board-side component (i.e., a device-side socket) mounted on a mounting panel. The board-side component contains board-side power terminals and board-side signal terminals, while the adapter component contains adapter power terminals. One end of the adapter power terminal is plugged into the board-side power terminal, and the other end is soldered to the printed circuit board. When the board-side component and the adapter component are plugged in, the power terminals of the two components conduct to each other, thus achieving a circuit connection. To ensure high-voltage interlocking of the signal, the board-side signal terminal also needs to be connected to the printed circuit board. This typically involves connecting a lead wire to the board-side signal terminal, pulling the lead wire out of the mounting panel, and soldering it to the printed circuit board. This connection method is cumbersome and reduces installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0037] This utility model proposes an improved technical solution to address the problems existing in the above-mentioned technical solutions. The core concept of this utility model is to configure the two ends of the device-side signal terminal in the device-side socket as an internal insertion terminal for insertion with the plug signal terminal in the adapter plug and an external insertion terminal for insertion with the adapter signal terminal in the adapter socket. An adapter signal terminal is also provided in the adapter socket, with one end connected to the printed circuit board and the other end inserted into the device-side signal terminal of the device-side socket. Thus, after the device-side socket and adapter socket are plugged in, the device-side signal terminal can achieve its connection with the printed circuit board through the insertion of the adapter signal terminal to ensure high-voltage interlocking. At this time, it is not necessary to pull the wire out of the mounting panel or solder the wire to the printed circuit board, simplifying operation and improving installation efficiency.

[0038] Based on the above concept, the connector socket of this utility model includes as follows: Figure 9 , Figure 10 The device-side socket 1 and adapter socket 2 are shown. The device-side socket 1 includes, as follows: Figure 3 The socket housing 11 shown has a connecting flange 111 for fixed connection to the mounting panel 3. A sealing ring 14 is also clamped between the connecting flange 111 and the mounting panel 3 to ensure the insulation and sealing of the device-side socket 1. A device-side power terminal 15 and a device-side signal terminal 12 are fixedly installed inside the socket housing 11. The two ends of the device-side signal terminal 12 are internal and external plug-in terminals, respectively. The external plug-in terminal 122 is used to plug into the plug signal terminal in the adapter plug, and the internal plug-in terminal 121 is used to plug into the adapter signal terminal 22 in the adapter socket 2. The adapter socket 2 includes... Figure 7 , Figure 8The adapter housing 21 shown contains a power adapter terminal 23 and a signal adapter terminal 22, both fixedly installed within it. The signal adapter terminal 22 is integrally injection molded within the housing 21 to ensure its position remains constant. One end of the signal adapter terminal 22 is a printed circuit board (PCB) connection end 222 for connecting to the PCB 4. This PCB connection end 222 extends out of the adapter housing 21 and is soldered to the PCB 4. The other end of the signal adapter terminal 22 is a signal terminal insertion end 221 for connecting to the device signal terminal 12 of the device socket 1. Thus, after the device socket 1 and adapter socket 2 are connected, the device signal terminal 12 can connect to the PCB 4 via the insertion of the signal adapter terminal 22 to ensure high-voltage interlocking. This eliminates the need to pull the power cable out of the mounting panel 3 or solder the power cable to the PCB 4, simplifying operation and improving installation efficiency.

The inner and outer plug-in terminals 122 are connected by two connecting arms 123. One of the two connecting arms 123 is disposed on the inner cylinder 124, and the other is disposed on the outer cylinder 125, and is respectively connected to the adjacent surfaces of the inner cylinder 124 and the outer cylinder 125. In this way, the structural strength of the entire device-side signal terminal 12 can be improved, and torsional deformation of the device-side signal terminal 12 can be avoided.
