[0010] Preferably, the limiting structure has a limiting groove adapted to the signal terminal, and the inner wall of the limiting groove limits the signal terminal.

[0011] Preferably, the guide sleeve is a hollow cylinder, with one end inserted into the guide groove by an interference fit, and the other end extending out of the plug housing.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] By using the plug and socket components together, the terminal can be directly inserted into the connector after crimping, making assembly convenient and quick. It also supports disassembly and replacement, solving the problem of existing fixed and non-removable terminals, reducing maintenance costs.

[0020] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail, such as front and back. Figure 1 For the sake of accuracy, the specific details should be as follows: Figure 1 The left side is the front. Figure 1 The right side is the rear; at the same time, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal direction is roughly defined as left and right, and the vertical direction is defined as up and down. If a specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a straight signal module connector, including a plug assembly 1 and a socket assembly 2;

[0024] The plug assembly 1 includes a plug housing 11 and a mounting hole 12 formed on the inner wall of the plug housing 11. Guide grooves 13 are formed at both ends of the plug housing 11 and extend to the outer side of the end of the plug housing 11. A mounting block 14 is installed inside the mounting hole 12.

[0025] The above solution addresses the issue that the structural wires are fixed to the board and the terminals are not removable or replaceable, which is inconvenient to use. Therefore, by cooperating with the plug assembly 1 and the socket assembly 2, the terminals can be directly inserted into the connector after being crimped, making assembly convenient and quick. It also supports disassembly and replacement, solving the problem of the existing fixed terminals being non-removable and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the signal terminal 15 has a built-in positioning claw 16, which is limited by the claw after being installed in the housing. Combined with the molded plastic housing, this ensures a reliable structure and improves connection stability.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown, a signal terminal 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block 14 away from the mounting hole 12. A positioning claw 16 is movably connected to the outer surface of the signal terminal 15, and a pin 17 is fixedly connected to the other end. A guide sleeve 18 for protecting the wire segment is assembled inside the guide groove 13. A plurality of first socket holes 19 adapted to the insertion of the pin 17 are opened inside the plug housing 11. The socket assembly 2 includes a socket housing 21. The outer surface of the socket housing 21 is in close contact with the outer surface of the plug housing 11. The inner wall of the socket housing 21 is provided with a mounting groove adapted to the guide groove 13. When the plug assembly When connected to the socket assembly 2, the guide groove 13 is embedded in the mounting groove. The socket housing 21 has a second insertion hole 22 that matches the pin 17. The two ends of the socket housing 21 are equipped with mounting structures 23 for engaging with the plug housing 11. The socket housing 21 is also fixedly installed with a limiting structure 24. The limiting structure 24 has a limiting groove that matches the signal terminal 15. The inner wall of the limiting groove limits the signal terminal 15. The guide sleeve 18 is a hollow cylinder. One end of it is inserted into the guide groove 13 through an interference fit, and the other end extends out of the plug housing 11.

[0028] The above-mentioned solution is adopted in which both the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 21 are made of insulating material to prevent short circuits during signal transmission. Both the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 21 have external heat dissipation grooves and signal terminals 15. The rich interface provides multiple usage options. The structure is wire-to-wire, and the signal terminals 15 are all rear-mounted. After crimping the wires, the signal terminals 15 can be directly inserted into the connector, which is convenient and quick. They can also be disassembled and replaced. The signal terminals 15 have built-in positioning claws 16. After crimping, they are inserted into the plug housing 11 and limited by the positioning claws 16. This design is applied to the signal sampling input and output connection of new energy vehicle charging pile modules.

[0029] It is worth noting that this linear signal module connector adopts a standardized design and interface specification to improve versatility and interoperability, and facilitate device integration and upgrades. This will not be elaborated further in this article.

[0030] Work steps:

[0031] First, install the mounting block 14 into the mounting hole 12 of the plug housing 11. Then, insert the crimped signal terminal 15 into the plug housing 11, causing the positioning claw 16 of the signal terminal 15 to pop out and limit it against the inner wall of the housing. At the same time, make the pin 17 of the signal terminal 15 fit into the first socket 19 of the plug housing 11. Then, insert the guide sleeve 18 into the guide grooves 13 at both ends of the plug housing 11 through interference fit to complete the assembly of the plug assembly 1. Next, connect the plug assembly 1 to the socket assembly 2, so that the guide groove 13 of the plug housing 11 is embedded into the mounting groove of the socket housing 21, the pin 17 is inserted into the second socket hole 22 of the socket housing 21, and the signal terminal 15 enters the limiting groove of the limiting structure 24. Finally, the socket housing 21 is fixed to the plug housing 11 by the mounting structure 23 at both ends, completing the overall connection.
