The long insulating body and the short insulating body have a long strip protrusion at one end; the other end of the long insulating body and the short insulating body has an upward protruding hook below; the terminal group includes multiple metal terminals assembled into the insulating body, one end of which can protrude from the receiving space; the outer shell has an assembly space for assembling the insulating body therein; the outer shell is divided into at least a long strip area and a short strip area, with at least two long strip areas, and a groove between the long strip areas and the short strip areas; the upper and lower sides of one side between the long strip areas have inwardly curved barbs; the upper and lower sides of the other side between the long strip areas have a first notch; one end of the groove has a second notch; the lower side of the other end of the groove has an upward hook with a hole; the barb is hooked onto the protrusion; the square protrusion is stuck above the first notch; the long strip protrusion is stuck above the second notch; the hole of the hook is hooked onto the protruding hook.

[0006] Further optimization, in which the barb, notch one, notch two and hook are all integrally formed on the outer shell.

[0007] Further optimization involves integrally forming the boss, square protrusion, long strip protrusion, and hook onto the insulating body.

[0008] Further optimization involves assembling the long insulation body into the long strip area and the short insulation body into the short strip area.

[0009] Further optimization involves a fine groove at one end between the short and long insulating bodies, which is recessed towards the other end. A patch extending into the inward assembly space is provided within the groove, and the patch is tightly attached to the inner side of the fine groove.

[0010] Further optimization is achieved by making one side of the short insulation body longer than the side of the long insulation body.

[0011] Further optimization resulted in an L-shaped patch.

[0012] Compared to previously disclosed technical solutions, the innovation of this new socket connection structure lies in its combination of two long and short insulating bodies. Different terminals are assembled in separate areas, positioned using surface mount components, and each area assembly segment utilizes various protrusions, hooks, and bosses for fixation. This allows for multi-area assembly, resulting in a more stable socket connector. Attached Figure Description
