[0035] An electrical connector is a structure used to establish an electrical connection and enable the transmission of electrical signals. A Type-C female connector is an electrical connector installed on the device side, typically used to mate with a Type-C male connector to achieve an electrical connection.

[0036] Currently, both the housing of the Type-C female connector and the electrical connector port on the device side are prone to manufacturing tolerances during the manufacturing process. When the Type-C female connector is assembled into the electrical connector port on the device side, due to the cumulative effect of the tolerances, a gap is easily generated between the outer wall of the Type-C female connector housing and the inner wall of the electrical connector port on the device side. This leads to a decrease in the sealing performance between the Type-C female connector and the device side, making it easier for moisture or dust to enter the interior of the device side through the gap.

[0037] In view of this, the present invention provides an embodiment of an electrical connector 100, which can improve the sealing between the outer wall of the housing 1 of the electrical connector 100 and the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 at the device end.

[0038] To facilitate the reader's understanding of the concept of this utility model embodiment, the specific structure of the electrical connector 100 is described below:

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4The electrical connector 100 includes a housing 1, a sealing structure 2, and a terminal module 3. The housing 1 has a receiving space 11, a plug interface 12, a first opening 13, and a second opening 14. The plug interface 12, the first opening 13, and the second opening 14 are all connected to the receiving space 11. The plug interface 12 is located at one end of the housing 1, and the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 are located at the other end of the housing 1. The plug interface 12 and the first opening 13 are opposite to each other and are set at a preset angle. The housing 1 has a first grounding part 15 at the first opening 13 and a second grounding part 16 at the second opening 14. The second grounding part 16 is used for grounding connection with the circuit board 300 on the device side. One end of the housing 1 is used to plug into the electrical connector port 200 on the device side, and the plug interface 12 is used for docking. An electrical connector 100 passes through and is inserted into the receiving space 11; a sealing structure 2 is disposed around the outer wall of one end of the housing 1, and the sealing structure 2 is used to seal the gap between the outer wall of the housing 1 and the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 of the device end when one end of the housing 1 is inserted into the electrical connector port 200 of the device end; a terminal module 3 is disposed in the receiving space 11, and the terminal module 3 is provided with a tongue plate portion 31, a grounding pin 32 and a conductive pin 33. The tongue plate portion 31 extends to the insertion interface 12 and is used to electrically connect with the mating electrical connector 100 when the mating electrical connector 100 is inserted into the receiving space 11. The grounding pin 32 extends to the first opening 13 and is grounded to the first grounding portion 15. The conductive pin 33 extends to the second opening 14 and is used to electrically connect with the circuit board 300 of the device end. In the above manner, the sealing structure 2 of this utility model embodiment can seal the gap between the outer wall of the housing 1 and the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 of the device end when one end of the housing 1 is inserted into the electrical connector port 200 of the device end, thereby improving the sealing performance between the outer wall of the housing 1 of the electrical connector 100 and the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 of the device end.

[0040] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The electrical connector 100 also includes a sealant 8. The terminal module 3 is provided with a recess 36, which is annular. At least part of the metal portion of the terminal module 3 is exposed in the recess 36. The sealant 8 is disposed around the recess 36. The inner annular ring of the sealant 8 abuts against the terminal module 3 and covers the recess 36, while the outer annular ring of the sealant 8 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1. In this way, not only can the sealing performance between the housing 1 and the terminal module 3 be improved, but the metal parts of the terminal module 3 exposed in the recess 36 can also be protected from oxidation and corrosion.

[0041] For the sealing structure 2 described above, please refer to some embodiments. Figures 2 to 4The sealing structure 2 includes a base 21 and a first sealing part 22. The base 21 is disposed around the outer wall of one end of the housing 1, and the first sealing part 22 is disposed around the side of the base 21 away from the housing 1. The first sealing part 22 is used to abut against the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 of the device end when one end of the housing 1 is inserted into the electrical connector port 200 of the device end.

[0042] For the sealing structure 2 described above, please refer to some embodiments. Figures 2 to 4 The sealing structure 2 further includes a second sealing part 23, which is disposed around the base 21 on the side facing away from the housing 1. The first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23 are spaced apart. The second sealing part 23 is used to abut against the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 at the device end when one end of the housing 1 is inserted into the electrical connector port 200 at the device end. In this way, the first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23 form a double seal, improving the reliability of the seal.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The base 21 is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the housing 1 by means of bonding or welding on the side opposite to the first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The base 21 is planar on the side opposite to the first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23. In this way, the contact area between the base 21 and the outer wall of one end of the housing 1 can be increased, thereby improving the firmness of the bonding or welding of the base 21.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23 are both arc-shaped on the side opposite to the base 21, and the side of the first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23 opposite to the base 21 makes elastic contact with the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 at the device end. In this way, the fit of the elastic contact between the first sealing part 22 and the second sealing part 23 and the inner wall of the electrical connector port 200 at the device end can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the seal.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The base 21, the first sealing part 22, and the second sealing part 23 are integrally formed, and all three are made of silicone. This method enables the sealing structure 2 to possess good elasticity.

[0047] Regarding the housing 1 described above, please refer to some embodiments. Figures 2 to 4The housing 1 bends and extends around the periphery of the first opening 13 to form a first grounding portion 15, which abuts against the grounding pin 32 in parallel. This method increases the contact area between the first grounding portion 15 and the grounding pin 32, thereby improving the reliability of the grounding connection between the first grounding portion 15 and the terminal module 3.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 It also includes a third welding component 7, which is disposed between the first grounding portion 15 and the grounding pin 32, and welds and fixes the first grounding portion 15 and the grounding pin 32. In this way, the relative movement of the first grounding portion 15 and the grounding pin 32 can be restricted.

[0049] Regarding the housing 1 described above, please refer to some embodiments. Figures 2 to 4 The housing 1 extends vertically from the periphery of the second opening 14 to form a second grounding portion 16, which is used for vertical insertion into the grounding hole of the circuit board 300 at the device end. In this way, the contact area between the second grounding portion 16 and the grounding hole can be increased, thereby improving the reliability of the grounding connection between the second grounding portion 16 and the circuit board 300.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 It also includes a fourth welded component (not shown in the figure), which is disposed around the side wall of the second grounding part 16 and the side wall of the grounding hole, and welds and fixes the side wall of the second grounding part 16 and the side wall of the grounding hole.

An insertion interface 12 is located at the end of the first housing 171 away from the second housing 181. A first opening 13 and a second opening 14 are located at the end of the second housing 181 away from the first housing 171. In this manner, the other end of the first housing 171 is inserted into the second housing 181, and the first housing 171 and the second housing 181 are arranged at a predetermined angle, which can improve the compactness of the structure of the housing 1 and reduce the overall volume of the housing 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first housing 171 is vertically inserted into the second housing 181, and the preset included angle between the first housing 171 and the second housing 181 is 90 degrees, so that the housing 1 is arranged in an L-shape, the receiving space 11 is arranged in an L-shape, and the terminal module 3 is arranged in an L-shape.

[0055] Please see Figures 2 to 4 It also includes a limiting structure 4, which is disposed around the inner wall of the other end of the first housing 171. One side of the limiting structure 4 is sealed to the inner wall of the first housing 171, and the other side of the limiting structure 4 is sealed to the outer wall of the terminal module 3. In this way, the sealing performance between the housing 1 and the terminal module 3 can be improved, and the probability of moisture or dust entering the device from between the housing 1 and the terminal module 3 can be reduced.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 It also includes a second welded component 6, which is disposed between the first housing 171 and the limiting structure 4, and welds and fixes the first housing 171 and the limiting structure 4.
