Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector terminal technology, and in particular relates to a terminal for connectors. Background Technology
[0002] Connector terminals are wiring ends used in electrical connections to transmit electrical signals or conduct electricity, commonly found in the connection of batteries, wires, and equipment. Based on structure, they can be divided into single-hole, double-hole, socket, and hook types, and materials include copper, aluminum, iron, and their alloy plating (such as silver-plated copper and zinc-plated copper).
[0003] Participation Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic part of the existing terminal is disconnected. This can lead to uneven mating and instability during the process of forming elastic contact when used to connect with the male or female connector, which can easily cause failure and vibration failure. Therefore, this utility model proposes a connector terminal to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a connector terminal, including a terminal body;
[0006] The terminal body includes an integrally formed connecting part and a terminal part. The terminal part is provided with an integral elastic part for forming elastic contact when it is inserted with a male or female socket. The cross-section of the integral elastic part is an arc-shaped structure that is recessed inward to the terminal part.
[0007] Preferably, the integrated elastic part is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple integrated elastic parts are distributed in a ring shape.
[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the integral elastic part is 0.8-1.2 mm.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the integrated elastic part is provided with a contact coating.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] The cross-section of the integrated elastic part is an arc-shaped structure recessed inward towards the terminal part. The integrated elastic part and the terminal part are integrally formed. There are multiple integrated elastic parts, which are distributed in a ring shape.

[0023] Example:
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a technical solution: a connector terminal, including a terminal body 1; the terminal body 1 includes an integrally formed connecting part 2 and a terminal part 3, the terminal part 3 is provided with an integral elastic part 4 for forming elastic contact when inserted with a male or female socket, the cross-section of the integral elastic part 4 is an arc-shaped structure recessed inward to the terminal part 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix. Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the integrated elastic part 4. The cross-section of the integrated elastic part 4 is an arc-shaped structure recessed towards the inside of the terminal part 3. The integrated elastic part 4 is integrally formed with the terminal part 3. Multiple integrated elastic parts 4 are provided and distributed in a ring shape. The attached diagram of this embodiment shows three integrated elastic parts 4. The three integrated elastic parts 4 cooperate to form elastic contact when inserted with the male or female connector. A contact coating is provided on the outer wall of the integrated elastic part 4, especially on the elastic contact surface. The contact coating is mainly made of polyurea elastic coating. This coating has the characteristics of high elasticity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can protect the elastic component from the influence of the external environment while maintaining its elastic performance. As another preferred option, some high-end products use gold plating (plating a gold layer with a thickness of 0.3μm), but this type of coating is mostly used in high-precision connectors and not all terminals use it.
[0026] In this embodiment, the integrated elastic part 4 and the terminal part 3 are integrally formed and are one piece, which can ensure smooth insertion and mating with the male or female socket, maintain stable force, and be unaffected by vibration. The vibration can reach the V2 level.
[0027] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 Multiple integrated elastic parts 4 are provided, and the multiple integrated elastic parts 4 are distributed in a ring shape.
[0028] Furthermore, the thickness of the integral elastic part 4 is 0.8-1.2 mm.
[0029] Furthermore, the outer wall of the integrated elastic part 4 is provided with a contact coating.
[0030] In this embodiment, multiple annularly distributed integral elastic parts 4 cooperate with each other to form elastic contact when inserted with a male or female connector. The thickness of the integral elastic part 4 is 0.8-1.2mm, that is, the thickness of the cross-section of the integral elastic part 4 is 0.8-1.2mm. A contact coating is provided on the outer wall of the integral elastic part 4, especially on the elastic contact surface. The contact coating is mainly made of polyurea elastic coating, which has the characteristics of high elasticity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can protect the elastic component from the influence of the external environment while maintaining its elastic performance. As another preferred option, some high-end products use gold plating (plating a 0.3μm thick gold layer), but this type of coating is mostly used in high-precision connectors and not all terminals use it.
[0031] Comparative example:
[0032] See appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector terminal includes a terminal body 1, which comprises an integrally formed connecting portion 2 and a terminal portion 3. The terminal portion 3 is provided with a disconnectable elastic portion 5 for forming elastic contact when inserted with a male or female connector. Multiple disconnectable elastic portions 5 are provided and are arranged in a ring shape. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly contains errors.) Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the disconnectable elastic part 5.
[0033] In the comparative embodiment, multiple ring-shaped disconnectable elastic parts 5 can cooperate with each other to form elastic contact when plugged into a male or female socket. However, since the disconnectable elastic parts 5 are disconnected from the terminal part 3, although the disconnectable elastic parts 5 have a higher degree of freedom, the disconnectable elastic parts 5 have problems such as unsmooth insertion, unstable maintenance, easy failure, and failure to pass vibration.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
