Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a panel interface connector and its component structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of automotive electrification, the application of automotive battery packs is becoming increasingly widespread. The internal and external functions of battery packs and signal transmission are becoming increasingly complex. Due to the different operating conditions inside and outside the battery pack, reliable connectors are needed to ensure stable internal and external functions and signal transmission. Connectors bridge the gaps in automotive circuitry, connecting interrupted or isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the automotive circuit to perform its intended functions. Connectors are indispensable components in electronic devices.

[0003] Traditional solutions involve cutting mating holes and several mounting holes into the outer panel of the battery pack. Inside the battery pack, a plug connector with a peripheral sealing gasket is installed to the panel. The plug connector has protruding mounting bolts around its perimeter for securing it to the mounting holes on the inner panel. After the plug connector is secured with bolts, the peripheral sealing gasket forms a seal with the inner panel. At this point, the mating portion of the plug connector protrudes from the mating holes in the battery pack. The outlet of the socket connector is riveted to a waterproof plug and wire via the socket terminal. Compression between the waterproof plug and the outlet seals the outlet. The plug connector fixed to the battery pack panel mates with the socket connector, which has an internal sealing ring. An interference fit between the plug and socket connectors creates a closed space, achieving overall waterproofing of the outer panel. This allows for the exchange of internal and external signals within the battery pack panel under extreme environments. Currently, all traditional battery pack panel connectors utilize this solution.

[0004] However, the above solutions have drawbacks such as high cost of end face sealing gaskets for the internal panel of the battery pack and low assembly efficiency. In terms of performance, due to poor sealing of the bolt mounting holes, there is a risk of water leakage from the bolt mounting holes; at the same time, the raised bolts evenly distributed around the flange of the plug connector occupy a lot of space, resulting in a long overall injection molding cycle during manufacturing, high cost, wasted space, inconvenient maintenance, and unfavorable use in miniaturized spaces.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

The socket connector 3 is also provided with a plurality of socket terminals 5, and the plug connector 2 is provided with a plurality of plug terminals 4 that mate with the socket terminals 5. The panel interface 1 replaces the traditional connector design with a raised flange structure and an integral end face sealing gasket, reducing the size of the waterproof connector, reducing the number and cost of sealing components, simplifying the assembly process, optimizing the overall usable space of the connector, improving the reliability of the waterproof connector, and expanding the range of applications of the connector in confined and harsh environments.
