Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, and in particular to a chip pressure protection structure and an electrical connector. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors, as the "nerve nodes" of electrical systems, undertake the critical task of transmitting current and signals. They enable the transfer of energy and information between devices through physical contact, and their reliability directly affects the stability and security of systems in fields such as electronics, communications, energy, and military.

[0003] Related technologies, such as patent CN201336491Y, disclose an electrical connector, which includes an insulating body with a square structure, a reinforcing member, a cover, and an operating rod. The insulating body houses several conductive terminals. The reinforcing member is installed at the bottom of the insulating body to support it. One end of the cover is pivotally connected to the reinforcing member. The cover includes a central notch for pressing the main body plate of the chip module and the side wall surrounding the main body plate. The cover is roughly in the shape of a square groove with its four sides closed. The operating rod is installed on one side of the reinforcing member to lock the cover. The square groove-shaped cover has good positioning and stability.

[0004] However, when the aforementioned connector's pressure cap presses and confines the chip onto the insulating body, uneven force on the chip can easily occur. This can lead to damage or even breakage of the conductive terminals of the insulating body due to excessive local pressure during chip placement. Furthermore, when removing the chip from the chip mounting slot, a straight-up-down method is generally used. If a side-pry method is used, one edge of the chip must be pried up first. During this process, the other side of the chip often presses forcefully against the conductive terminals of the insulating body due to the leverage effect. This can easily cause damage or even breakage of the conductive terminals of the insulating body and the chip due to excessive local pressure. This not only significantly reduces the ease of use of the connector but also greatly reduces its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a chip pressure protection structure and electrical connector that not only has better ease of use but also extends service life.

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A chip anti-pressure structure includes a clamping assembly; the clamping assembly includes a fixing base, a positioning member, and a cover plate. The fixing base is used to be mounted on a circuit board assembly of an electrical connector, and the fixing base is used to surround the power receiving portion of the circuit board assembly to form a chip mounting slot. The chip mounting slot is used to position and mount the positioning member, and the positioning member is used to mount and fix the chip. The cover plate is connected to the fixing base, and when the cover plate is closed on the chip mounting slot, the cover plate is used to confine the positioning member within the chip mounting slot.

[0008] The chip anti-pressure structure also includes an elastic support component, which is disposed in the chip mounting slot, is fixed on the fixed base, and is elastically supported by the positioning member.

[0009] In one embodiment, the elastic support assembly includes a fixed member and an elastic support member connected together. The fixed member is installed and fixed on the fixed base. The elastic support end of the elastic support member is used to elastically support the positioning member. A deformation avoidance area is formed between the elastic support end of the elastic support member and the fixed member.

[0010] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the chip mounting groove is formed with a mounting flange, the mounting flange is located inside the chip mounting groove, the fastener is fixed to the side of the mounting flange away from the bottom of the chip mounting groove, and the elastic support is disposed facing the opening of the chip mounting groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the end of the elastic support member has a bent portion, which bends toward the side closer to the fixing member, and the bent portion is disposed opposite to the fixing member.

[0012] In one embodiment, the elastic support has a first hollow area.

[0013] In one embodiment, the elastic support end of the elastic support member has a rounded corner transition.

[0014] In one embodiment, a gap is formed between the bent portion and the elastic support. A stress-relieving groove is formed at the connection between the elastic support and the fixing member.

[0015] In one embodiment, the fixing base is formed with a positioning post located in the chip mounting slot, and the positioning member is formed with a positioning hole, with the positioning post and the positioning hole being disposed opposite to each other.

[0016] In one embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the positioning member is formed with a snap-fit ​​groove, which is used to snap and fix the chip to the outer peripheral wall.

[0017] An electrical connector includes a circuit board assembly, a chip, and a chip anti-pressure structure as described in any of the above embodiments. The fixing base is mounted on the circuit board assembly of the electrical connector, and the fixing base surrounds the power receiving portion of the circuit board assembly.

[0018] In one embodiment, the cover plate includes a closing portion and a rotating portion, the closing portion and the rotating portion are fixedly connected, the closing portion is disposed opposite to the chip mounting slot, and the rotating portion is rotatably connected to the fixed base.

[0019] In one embodiment, the cover portion has a second cutout area, which is disposed opposite to the chip. The cover portion is disposed opposite to the chip protector. When the cover portion is closed on the chip mounting slot, the cover portion confines the chip protector within the chip mounting slot, so that the power-connecting area of ​​the chip abuts against the power-connecting portion of the circuit board assembly.

[0020] In one embodiment, there are multiple elastic support components arranged along the periphery of the chip protector.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0022] The aforementioned chip pressure protection structure, in which the fixing base is used to mount the circuit board assembly of the electrical connector and surrounds the power-receiving part of the circuit board assembly to form a chip mounting slot, is used to position and mount a positioning element, which is used to mount and fix the chip. A cover plate is connected to the fixing base; when the cover plate is closed on the chip mounting slot, it confines the positioning element within the slot. An elastic support component is disposed within the chip mounting slot and is fixed to the fixing base. The elastic support component elastically supports the positioning element. When the cover plate is closed on the chip mounting slot, it presses and confines the positioning element within the slot, allowing the chip to be confined within it. The elastic support end of the elastic support component elastically supports the positioning element through its own elastic deformation capacity, thus buffering the pressure on the positioning element and ensuring that the chip and the power-receiving part of the circuit board assembly are evenly stressed. The elastic support component effectively prevents damage to the power contacts of the circuit board assembly and the chip due to uneven stress, thus significantly extending the service life of the electrical connector. Simultaneously, when the chip mounting slot is opened, the elastic support component uses its elastic deformation to lift the positioning element away from the circuit board assembly, allowing the positioning element to move the chip away from the power contacts of the circuit board assembly. This creates a clearance between the chip and the power contacts of the circuit board assembly. Whether the chip is removed vertically or by prying it from the side, the elastic support component effectively prevents the chip from contacting and squeezing the power contacts of the circuit board assembly, avoiding damage to the power contacts of the circuit board assembly due to excessive pressure. This not only greatly improves the ease of use of the electrical connector but also further extends its service life. Attached Figure Description

However, this disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure.

[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or may be formed with an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or may be formed with an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementations.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0036] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a chip anti-pressure structure 100 in one embodiment includes a clamping assembly 110; the clamping assembly 110 includes a fixing base 111, a positioning member 112, and a cover plate 113. The fixing base 111 is used to be mounted on the circuit board assembly 300 of the electrical connector 10, and the fixing base 111 is used to surround the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 to form a chip mounting groove 114. The chip mounting groove 114 is used to position and mount the positioning member 112, and the positioning member 112 is used to mount and fix the chip 200. The cover plate 113 is connected to the fixing base 111. When the cover plate 113 is closed on the chip mounting slot 114, the cover plate 113 is used to limit the positioning member 112 within the chip mounting slot 114, so that the chip 200 can be reliably limited within the chip mounting slot 114 by the positioning member 112, avoiding the phenomenon that the chip 200 may become loose or even detach from the chip mounting slot 114 due to collision or other external factors. This allows the chip 200 to be reliably electrically connected to the power receiving part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300, thereby greatly improving the stability of the use of the electrical connector 10.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the chip anti-pressure structure 100 further includes an elastic support component 120, which is disposed within the chip mounting groove 114 and fixedly mounted on the fixing base 111. The elastic support component 120 is elastically supported by the positioning member 112. When the cover plate 113 is closed onto the chip mounting groove 114, the cover plate 113 can press and limit the positioning member 112 within the chip mounting groove 114, so that the chip 200 can be limited in the chip mounting groove by the positioning member 112. Within 114, the elastic support end of the elastic support component 120 can elastically support the positioning component 112 through its own elastic deformation capability. This allows the elastic support component 120 to buffer the pressure on the positioning component 112, thereby ensuring that the power connection part 310 of the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly 300 is subjected to balanced force. This effectively prevents damage or even destruction of the power connection part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to uneven force distribution. This phenomenon greatly extends the service life of the electrical connector 10. Simultaneously, when the chip mounting slot 114 is opened, the elastic support component 120 uses its own elastic deformation capability to lift the positioning member 112 away from the circuit board assembly 300, allowing the positioning member 112 to move the chip 200 away from the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. This creates a clearance gap between the chip 200 and the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. Thus, whether the chip 200 is removed vertically or by prying it from the side, the elastic support component 120 effectively prevents the chip 200 from contacting and squeezing the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300, avoiding damage or even destruction to the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 due to excessive pressure. This not only greatly improves the ease of use of the electrical connector 10 but also further extends its service life.

[0038] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to install chip 200 into chip mounting slot 114, chip 200 is first fixed onto positioning member 112; then, chip 200 is placed at a preset position within chip mounting slot 114, and elastic support component 120 can elastically support itself on positioning member 112 through its own elastic deformation capability, so that chip 200 is moved away from the power receiving part 310 of circuit board assembly 300 through positioning member 112, thus forming a clearance gap between chip 200 and power receiving part 310 of circuit board assembly 300, thereby allowing the user to place chip 200 into chip mounting slot 114 in a straight up-down manner. The chip 200 is placed in the chip mounting slot 114 by side mounting. The elastic support component 120 can effectively prevent the chip 200 from contacting and squeezing with the power-connecting part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. Finally, the cover plate 113 is placed on the chip mounting slot 114 so that the cover plate 113 can press and limit the positioning member 112 in the chip mounting slot 114, so that the chip 200 can be limited in the chip mounting slot 114 by the positioning member 112. The elastic support component 120 can buffer the pressure on the positioning member 112, so that the chip 200 and the power-connecting part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 can be subjected to balanced force.

[0039] When it is necessary to open the cover plate 113 and remove the chip 200 from the chip mounting slot 114, firstly, the chip mounting slot 114 is opened, and the elastic support component 120 can use its own elastic deformation ability to lift the positioning component 112 away from the circuit board assembly 300, so that the positioning component 112 can drive the chip 200 away from the power contact part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300, so that a clearance gap is formed between the chip 200 and the power contact part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. Thus, whether the user removes the chip 200 by straight up and down or by prying it from the side, the elastic support component 120 can effectively prevent the chip 200 from contacting and squeezing the power contact part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300; finally, the chip 200 is removed.

[0040] The aforementioned chip anti-pressure structure 100, wherein the fixing base 111 is used to mount on the circuit board assembly 300 of the electrical connector 10, and the fixing base 111 is used to surround the power receiving part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 to form a chip mounting groove 114, the chip mounting groove 114 is used to position and mount the positioning member 112, the positioning member 112 is used to mount and fix the chip 200, the cover plate 113 is connected to the fixing base 111, and when the cover plate 113 is closed on the chip mounting groove 114, the cover plate 113 is used to limit the positioning member 112 within the chip mounting groove 114; the elastic support assembly 120 is disposed within the chip mounting groove 114. The elastic support component 120 is mounted and fixed on the fixed base 111. The elastic support component 120 is elastically supported by the positioning member 112. When the cover plate 113 is closed on the chip mounting slot 114, the cover plate 113 can press and limit the positioning member 112 into the chip mounting slot 114, so that the chip 200 can be limited to the chip mounting slot 114 by the positioning member 112. The elastic support end of the elastic support component 120 can elastically support the positioning member 112 through its own elastic deformation capability, so that the elastic support component 120 can buffer the pressure on the positioning member 112, thereby allowing the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly to be supported. The power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 can be subjected to balanced force, effectively preventing damage or even destruction of the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to uneven force, thereby greatly extending the service life of the electrical connector 10. At the same time, when the chip mounting slot 114 is opened, the elastic support component 120 uses its own elastic deformation ability to lift the positioning member 112 away from the circuit board assembly 300, so that the positioning member 112 can drive the chip 200 away from the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300, so that the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly 300 can be more evenly distributed. A clearance gap is formed between the power receiving parts 310 of component 300. Thus, whether chip 200 is removed by straight up and down or by prying it from the side, the elastic support component 120 can effectively prevent chip 200 from contacting and squeezing with the power receiving part 310 of circuit board assembly 300. This avoids damage or even destruction of the power receiving part 310 of circuit board assembly 300 due to excessive pressure on chip 200 and circuit board assembly 300. This not only greatly improves the ease of use of electrical connector 10, but also further extends the service life of electrical connector 10.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic support assembly 120 includes a fixed member 121 and an elastic support member 122 connected to each other. The fixed member 121 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 111. The elastic support end of the elastic support member 122 is elastically supported on the positioning member 112. A deformation avoidance area 123 is formed between the elastic support end of the elastic support member 122 and the fixed member 121, so that the deformation avoidance area 123 can provide sufficient elastic deformation space for the elastic support member 122, so that the elastic support member 122 can effectively buffer the pressure on the positioning member 112, thereby allowing the cover plate 113 to press and limit the positioning member 112. When the chip is mounted in the chip mounting slot 114, the power receiving portion 310 of the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly 300 can be subjected to balanced force, avoiding damage or even destruction of the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to uneven force, thereby greatly extending the service life of the electrical connector 10; at the same time, it can also avoid damage or even destruction of the chip 200 and the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board when the chip 200 is removed by prying it from the side, which not only greatly improves the ease of use of the electrical connector 10, but also further extends the service life of the electrical connector 10.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 121 and the elastic support member 122 are integrally formed to improve the structural compactness of the elastic support assembly 120.

[0043] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the chip mounting groove 114 is formed with a mounting flange 1111. The mounting flange 1111 is located inside the chip mounting groove 114. The fastener 121 is mounted and fixed to the side of the mounting flange 1111 that is away from the bottom of the chip mounting groove 114. The elastic support 122 is disposed facing the opening of the chip mounting groove 114 so that the elastic support assembly 120 can better support the positioning member 112.

[0044] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the end of the elastic support of the elastic support member 122 has a bent portion 1221. The bent portion 1221 bends toward the side close to the fixing member 121. The bent portion 1221 is disposed opposite to the fixing member 121. When the elastic support of the elastic support member 122 is subjected to excessive pressure and undergoes elastic deformation relative to the fixing base 111 until it comes into contact with the fixing member 121, the bent portion 1221 will support the fixing member 121. This allows the elastic support member 122 to support the positioning member 112 through the bent portion, preventing damage or even destruction of the power connection portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to excessive pressure.

[0045] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic support 122 has a first hollow area 1222 to improve the elastic deformation capability of the elastic support 122, thereby enhancing the buffering capability of the elastic support 122 and reducing the manufacturing material of the elastic support 122. This not only reduces the weight of the elastic support 122 but also saves the manufacturing cost of the elastic support 122.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic support end of the elastic support member 122 is formed with a rounded corner transition to avoid damage or even destruction of the chip 200 due to its overly sharp shape when the elastic support end of the elastic support member 122 provides elastic support to the chip 200.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a gap is formed between the bent portion 1221 and the elastic support member 122 to increase the contact thickness of the bent portion 1221. This allows the bent portion 1221 to support the elastic support end of the elastic support member 122 at a preset height when the bent portion 1221 abuts against the fixing member 121 due to excessive pressure on the elastic support member 122. This prevents damage or even destruction to the power connection portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to excessive pressure.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a stress relief groove 124 is formed at the connection between the elastic support 122 and the fixing member 121, so that the stress relief groove 124 can optimize the stress distribution of the elastic support assembly 120, effectively reduce the stress concentration phenomenon of the elastic support assembly 120, so that the elastic support assembly 120 has better crack resistance and better ductility, thereby greatly improving the service life and stability of the elastic support 122.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixed base 111 is provided with a positioning post 1112, which is located in the chip mounting slot 114. The positioning member 112 is provided with a positioning hole 1122. The positioning post 1112 and the positioning hole 1122 are arranged opposite to each other so that the positioning member 112 can be positioned and installed in the chip mounting slot 114 at a preset position by means of the positioning post 1112, so that the power receiving part of the chip 200 can abut against and be electrically connected to the power receiving part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300.

[0050] like Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the positioning member 112 is formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 1121. The snap-fit ​​groove 1121 is used to snap and fix the chip 200 to the outer peripheral wall, so that the chip 200 can be reliably fixed on the positioning member 112. This avoids the phenomenon that the chip 200 may become loose or even detach from the positioning member 112 due to collisions or other external factors, and greatly improves the stability of the use of the electrical connector 10.

[0051] This disclosure also provides an electrical connector 10, including a circuit board assembly 300, a chip 200 and a chip anti-pressure structure 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, with a fixing base 111 mounted on the circuit board assembly 300 of the electrical connector 10, and the fixing base 111 surrounding the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cover plate 113 includes a closing portion 1131 and a rotating portion 1132. The closing portion 1131 and the rotating portion 1132 are fixedly connected. The closing portion 1131 is disposed opposite to the chip mounting groove 114, and the rotating portion 1132 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 111. This allows the closing portion 1131 to be rotated relative to the fixed base 111 in a first preset direction around the rotating portion 1132 as the rotation center, so that when it is necessary to confine the chip 200 in the chip mounting groove 114, the closing portion 1131 can be rotated relative to the fixed base 111 in a first preset direction to the opening of the chip mounting groove 114, thereby enabling the closing portion 1131 to... The chip 200 is pressed and confined within the chip mounting slot 114. When it is necessary to open the cover plate 113 and remove the chip 200 from the chip mounting slot 114, the cover portion 1131 is rotated relative to the fixed base 111 in a second preset direction with the rotating portion 1132 as the rotation center, so that the cover portion 1131 moves away from the chip mounting slot 114, thereby opening the chip mounting slot 114 and allowing the user to remove the chip 200 from the chip mounting slot 114. This greatly reduces the difficulty of installing and removing the chip 200, thereby improving the ease of use of the electrical connector 10.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figures 1-2, in this embodiment, the cover portion 1131 and the rotating portion 1132 are integrally formed to improve the structural strength of the cover plate 113.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the cover portion 1131 has a second hollow area 1131a, which is disposed opposite to the chip 200. The cover portion 1131 is disposed opposite to the chip 200 protective member. When the cover portion 1131 is closed on the chip mounting groove 114, the cover portion 1131 confines the chip 200 protective member within the chip mounting groove 114, so that the power receiving area of ​​the chip 200 abuts against the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. This allows the cover portion 1131 to press and confine the chip 200 within the chip mounting groove 114 through the chip 200 protective member, avoiding damage or even destruction of the chip 200 caused by the elastic support assembly 120 being directly pressed and confined on the chip 200, further extending the service life of the electrical connector 10. At the same time, the second hollow area 1131a can also reduce the weight and production cost of the cover portion 1131.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple elastic support components 120. These multiple elastic support components 120 are arranged along the periphery of the chip 200 protective member, so that the elastic support components 120 can better elastically support the chip 200 protective member. When the cover portion 1131 presses and limits the chip 200 protective member to the chip mounting groove 114, the elastic support components 120 can effectively reduce the pressure on the chip 200 protective member, avoiding damage or even destruction to the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to excessive local pressure. This greatly extends the service life of the electrical connector 10. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent the chip 200 from contacting and squeezing the power contact portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 when the chip 200 is removed from the chip mounting groove 114, further extending the service life of the electrical connector 10.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0057] The aforementioned electrical connector 10 has a fixed base 111 for mounting on the circuit board assembly 300 of the connector 10, and the fixed base 111 surrounds the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 to form a chip mounting groove 114. The chip mounting groove 114 is used to position and mount the positioning member 112, and the positioning member 112 is used to mount and fix the chip 200. The cover plate 113 is connected to the fixed base 111. When the cover plate 113 covers the chip mounting groove 114, the cover plate 113 is used to limit the positioning member 112 within the chip mounting groove 114. The elastic support assembly 120 is disposed within the chip mounting groove 114, providing elastic support. The support assembly 120 is mounted and fixed on the fixed base 111. The elastic support assembly 120 is elastically supported by the positioning member 112. When the cover plate 113 is closed onto the chip mounting slot 114, the cover plate 113 can press and limit the positioning member 112 into the chip mounting slot 114, so that the chip 200 can be limited to the chip mounting slot 114 by the positioning member 112. The elastic support end of the elastic support assembly 120 can elastically support the positioning member 112 through its own elastic deformation capability, so that the elastic support assembly 120 can buffer the pressure on the positioning member 112, thereby allowing the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly 30 to be supported. The power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 can be subjected to balanced force, effectively preventing damage or even failure of the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 and the chip 200 due to uneven force, thereby greatly extending the service life of the electrical connector 10. At the same time, when the chip mounting slot 114 is opened, the elastic support component 120 uses its own elastic deformation ability to lift the positioning member 112 away from the circuit board assembly 300, so that the positioning member 112 can drive the chip 200 away from the power receiving portion 310 of the circuit board assembly 300, so that the chip 200 and the circuit board assembly 10 can be more evenly distributed. A clearance gap is formed between the power receiving parts 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. Thus, whether the chip 200 is removed by straight up and down or by prying it from the side, the elastic support component 120 can effectively prevent the chip 200 from contacting and squeezing the power receiving part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300. This avoids damage or even destruction of the power receiving part 310 of the circuit board assembly 300 due to excessive pressure. This not only greatly improves the ease of use of the electrical connector 10, but also further extends the service life of the electrical connector 10.
