Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a high-density board-to-board power connector. Background Technology

[0002] Power connectors serve as a bridge connecting the power output and the receiver. They are primarily used in space-constrained applications such as servers / communication equipment where high signal density is required in addition to high current. While meeting the high current requirement, the space under the guide module is used to increase the arrangement of signal terminals to meet the signal density requirements of the power module. At the same time, it facilitates the high integration and miniaturization of the power module design. The plastic hole features and the barbed features of the terminals are used in combination with the fixing structure to meet the manufacturability design of new plastic modules.

[0003] Existing power connectors are difficult to use in applications such as AC to DC conversion of PSU power supplies, AC 3-phase power, or 5-phase power. In addition, existing power connectors only have a male-to-female bend design, which is not ideal in terms of flexibility and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a high-density board-to-board power connector.

[0005] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-density board-to-board power connector, the connector includes a female end and a male end, and the connector further includes a first guide module and a second guide module respectively disposed on the female end and the male end, and a first limiter and a second limiter are respectively disposed in the first guide module and the second guide module;

[0007] The female terminal includes a female terminal housing, an AC unit, a female terminal signal unit, a DC unit, and female terminal terminals and a first signal terminal disposed within the female terminal housing;

[0008] The male terminal includes a male terminal housing, a male terminal signal unit, and a male terminal and a second signal terminal disposed within the male terminal housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the spacing between the female terminal and the male terminal is 2.0 mm in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0010] Furthermore, the AC unit can be selected as 3-phase or 5-phase power, and the number of the bus terminal signal unit and the DC unit are both adjustable.

[0011] Furthermore, the first guide module includes a first connecting seat, which is disposed on the female end housing. A positioning plate is disposed on the first connecting seat, and the side of the positioning plate away from the first connecting seat is rounded.

[0012] Furthermore, the second guide module includes a second connecting seat, which is disposed on the male end housing, and the second connecting seat has a positioning groove adapted to the positioning plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the positioning plate is provided with an opening groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Through the high-density pitch design, the male and female connectors have a consistent 2.0mm pitch in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This minimizes the space occupied while meeting application requirements. At the same time, the product's slim design reduces the application space required by customers and is more conducive to system heat dissipation.

[0016] 2. With the flexible selection of 3-phase and 5-phase power, and the selectable number of male and female terminals and DC units, this power connector can be used in applications such as AC to DC conversion of PSU power supply, AC 3-phase or 5-phase power, thus increasing the application scenarios of this power connector.

[0017] 3. By setting the first guide module and the second guide module, the male end and the female end can be positioned and plugged together, and the stability of their connection is improved. This allows straight male and straight female to be connected, and can also meet the needs of bending to straight or sandwich panels.

[0018] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A positioning plate 14 is disposed on the first connecting seat 13, and the side of the positioning plate 14 away from the first connecting seat 13 is rounded. An opening groove 20 is provided on the inner side wall of the positioning plate 14. The second guide module 16 includes a second connecting seat 17, which is disposed on the male end housing 9. A positioning groove 19 adapted to the positioning plate 14 is provided on the second connecting seat 17. By inserting the positioning plate 14 into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 19, the female end 1 and the male end 8 can be connected together, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the female end 1 and the male end 8.

[0033] Working Principle: This invention utilizes a high-density pitch design, ensuring consistent 2.0mm pitch in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the male and female connectors. This minimizes space requirements while meeting application needs. The slim and lightweight design further reduces the user's application space and facilitates system heat dissipation. Flexible selection between 3-phase and 5-phase power options, along with selectable numbers of male terminal 11, female terminal 6, and DC unit 5, allows the power connector to be used in applications such as PSU AC to DC conversion, AC 3-phase, or 5-phase power supply, expanding its application scenarios. The first guide module 12 and the second guide module 16 allow the positioning plate 14 on the female terminal 1 to be inserted into the positioning groove 19 on the male terminal 8, improving connection stability. This enables straight male and straight female connections and also meets the requirements for bend-to-straight or sandwich panel applications.
