电连接器组合

Abstract

本实用新型提供了一种电连接器组合，包括相互插接配合的一插头及一插座，所述插头的绝缘本体设有一基部、自基部向前延伸出的一第一对接部、自基部向后延伸出的一第二对接部，所述第二对接部设有一面向所述插座的对接面，所述插头的上排端子模组和下排端子模组设有暴露于所述对接面上的若干后接触臂；所述插座包括一塑胶座体及收容于塑胶座体内的若干接触端子，所述接触端子设有倾斜向上延伸出的弹性压接臂，所述弹性压接臂与所述后接触臂彼此压接接触。本实用新型插头和插座采用弹性压接方式连接，利用螺丝固定的方式固定至电路板上大大增加了两者的连接可靠性和稳定性，提高了整体连接强度，也避免了焊接带来的接触不稳定问题。

Claims

1. An electrical connector assembly comprising a plug and a receptacle matably engaged with each other, said plug comprising an insulating body, an upper row of terminal modules and a lower row of terminal modules held within the insulating body, a metal spacer element interposed between the upper row of terminal modules and the lower row of terminal modules, a metal inner shell mounted on the insulating body, characterized in that: The insulating body has a base, a first mating portion extending forward from the base, and a second mating portion extending rearward from the base. The second mating portion has a mating surface facing the socket. The upper row terminal module and the lower row terminal module have a plurality of rear contact arms exposed on the mating surface. The socket includes a plastic base and a plurality of contact terminals housed in the plastic base. The contact terminals have elastic crimping arms extending upward at an angle. The elastic crimping arms correspond one-to-one with the rear contact arms and are in crimped contact with each other.

2. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1, wherein: The inner metal shell surrounds the periphery of the second docking portion, and the inner metal shell has an annular front shell surrounding the periphery of the second docking portion and an annular rear shell surrounding the periphery of the base portion.

3. The electrical connector assembly of claim 2, wherein: The annular rear housing is provided with a pair of vertically extending side baffles, which cover the two side surfaces of the second docking portion.

4. The electrical connector assembly of claim 3, wherein: The socket also includes a pair of fixing members fixed to both ends of the plastic base. The plastic base of the socket has a bottom wall, a pair of end walls located at both ends of the bottom wall, and a plugging space between the bottom wall and the end walls. The fixing members are located at both ends of the plugging space and abut against the side baffle of the plug.

5. The electrical connector assembly of claim 4, wherein: The fastener is plate-shaped and has a limiting part and a mounting part that protrudes downward from the bottom of the limiting part. The limiting part is wider than the mounting part, and a buckle protrusion protruding towards the insertion space is formed on the inner surface of the limiting part.

6. The electrical connector assembly of claim 5, wherein: The end wall is provided with a slot for accommodating the fastener and an opening through the slot. The opening is formed on the inner wall surface of the end wall and faces the insertion space. The buckle protrusion extends into the opening and abuts against the side baffle.

7. The electrical connector assembly of claim 6, wherein: The bottom wall has several upward-facing channels that extend through the insertion space. The contact terminal has a horizontal extension arm and a welding arm of the plastic base extending from the rear end of the horizontal extension arm. The elastic crimping arm extends obliquely upward from the front end of the horizontal extension arm, protruding from the channel and entering the insertion space to crimp and contact the rear contact arm.

8. The electrical connector assembly of claim 7, wherein: The metal spacer element has a base plate, a plurality of grounding arms protruding rearward from the rear edge of the base plate, and a shielding plate extending forward from the base plate. The grounding arms are distributed between the plurality of rear contact arms, and the distance between two adjacent grounding arms is greater than the distance between two adjacent rear contact arms.

9. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1, wherein: The first docking part is a docking tongue plate, which is flat and is flush with the second docking part in the vertical direction.

10. The electrical connector assembly of any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein: The electrical connector assembly also includes a metal retaining cover, which includes a front cover covering the plug and a rear cover covering the socket. Both sides of the front cover and the rear cover are provided with a pair of outwardly bent and protruding wings, and the wings are provided with fixing holes for fixing to a circuit board.
