[0024] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution for a stackable single-row modular connector that prevents mis-insertion: it includes: a connector body 1 symmetrically arranged, a socket groove 11 opened on the front surface of the connector body 1, and a terminal 13 arranged on the lower surface of the connector body 1. A positioning groove 3 is opened below the socket groove 11 on the front surface of the connector body 1. A guide rail 4 is symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the socket groove 11. Positioning holes 12 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the connector body 1. A positioning mechanism 2 is arranged on the outer side of the connector body 1. The positioning mechanism 2 includes a connecting plate 22 arranged between two connector bodies 1. A first positioning plate 21 is arranged on the upper surface of the connecting plate 22 above the connector body 1, and a second positioning plate 23 is arranged on the lower surface of the connecting plate 22 below the connector body 1.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower surface of the first positioning plate 21 contacts the upper surface of the connector body 1, and the first positioning plate 21 is connected to the connector body 1 by screws. The upper surface of the second positioning plate 23 contacts the lower surface of the connector body 1, and the second positioning plate 23 is also connected to the connector body 1 by screws. This arrangement utilizes the connection of the first positioning plate 21 and the second positioning plate 23 to the connector body 1 by screws, thus ensuring the stability of the connection of multiple connector bodies 1 and providing good practicality.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, positioning rods 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 22.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning groove 3 is rectangular and has markings inside. The guide rail 4 is also rectangular and has two sets inside the socket groove 11. This arrangement uses the positioning groove 3 to position the external plug and the markings to prevent misinsertion. At the same time, the guide rail 4 can correspond to the guide groove on the outside of the external plug, reducing the occurrence of misinsertion.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this anti-misinsertion stackable single-row modular connector, multiple connector bodies 1 are first modularly connected. During connection, the connecting plate 22 in the positioning mechanism 2 is fitted with two connector bodies 1, that is, the positioning rods 24 on both sides of the connecting plate 22 will be embedded into the positioning hole 12. In this way, the two connector bodies 1 can be connected and positioned by the connecting plate 22. The first positioning plate 21, the second positioning plate 23 and the two connector bodies 1 can be locked with screws, thereby realizing the modular connection of the two connector bodies 1. Multiple connector bodies 1 can be connected in this way. The front surface of the connector body 1 is provided with a socket groove 11, which facilitates the insertion of external plugs. At the same time, the guide rail 4 on the inner side of the socket groove 11 can ensure that the external plug is guided into the socket groove 11 of the connector body 1, and the positioning groove 3 can achieve accurate positioning, effectively preventing misinsertion and ensuring the normal use of the connector. It has good practicality.
