Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector technology, and in particular to a flat, ultra-thin mating connector. Background Technology
[0002] With the trend towards miniaturization and integration in electronic devices, connectors, as key components for circuit connection and signal transmission, have a significant impact on the overall performance and spatial layout of equipment due to their performance and structural design. Especially in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and aerospace fields, higher demands are placed on connector size, ease of installation, and connection stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of connector that can adapt to the needs of modern electronic devices to meet the market's pressing demand for efficient and compact connection solutions.
[0003] Currently, most connectors widely used in the market are circular in structure, and their design is mainly based on traditional mechanical mating and electrical connection principles. These connectors achieve circuit conduction through pin-hole mating, rely on the threaded or snap-fit structure of the outer shell for mechanical fixation, and use insulating material to isolate different conductive components. In terms of manufacturing process, circular connectors are usually assembled by manual soldering, where wires are fixedly connected to the connector terminals to achieve signal and current transmission.
[0004] However, traditional circular connectors, due to their large size, struggle to meet the design requirements of today's thinner, lighter, and more densely integrated electronic devices, resulting in poor compatibility when installed in confined spaces. Furthermore, the manual soldering method for circular connectors is not only inefficient and unsuitable for large-scale production, but also highly dependent on operator skill levels, easily leading to defects such as cold solder joints and short circuits, resulting in high product defect rates and increased production and after-sales maintenance costs. Simultaneously, their large size limits the miniaturization of supporting equipment, failing to fully utilize the space-saving advantages of modern electronic technology. Therefore, a flat, ultra-thin mating connector is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0020] One side wall of the positioning block is slidably connected to the inside of the second positioning groove, and the side wall of the second positioning block is slidably connected to the inside of the first positioning groove.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the female and male pins slide along the inside of the outer shell. Positioning groove one and positioning block two, and positioning groove two and positioning block one cooperate to guide, position and buffer.

The above technical solution improves heat dissipation efficiency and dustproof performance. Attached Figure Description
