[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses an Ethernet harness female connector according to one embodiment, comprising a housing 10, a power connector 20 installed within the housing 10, a fixing member 30 installed within the housing 10 for fixing the power connector 20, and a connecting wire 40 installed within the housing 10; the power connector 20 is connected to the connecting wire 40; the housing 10 includes a mounting groove 12 disposed on the housing 11, a first snap-fit ​​groove 13 disposed on both sides of the housing 11, a second snap-fit ​​groove 14 disposed on both sides of the housing 11, and an insertion groove 11 disposed on the housing 11. 5; The insertion slot 15 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​slot 13 and the second snap-fit ​​slot 14; the fixing member 30 includes a support part 31, a guide fixing part 32 installed on the support part 31, a first snap-fit ​​part 33 and a second snap-fit ​​part 34 installed on both sides of the support part 31; the guide fixing part 32 cooperates with the insertion slot 15; the first snap-fit ​​slot 13 cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​part 33, and the second snap-fit ​​slot 14 cooperates with the second snap-fit ​​part 34; the guide fixing part 32 is used to fix the electrical connector 20 on the mounting slot 12.

[0027] The working principle of the Ethernet harness female connector of this utility model is as follows: When the fixing part 30 is assembled into the housing 10, the guide fixing part 32 on the support part 31 will be inserted along the insertion groove 15 of the housing 11 to fix the electrical connector 20 in the slide rail 16. As the guide fixing part 32 goes deeper along the insertion groove 15, the first engaging part 33 and the second engaging part 34 on both sides of the support part 31 will engage with the first engaging groove 13 and the second engaging groove 14 on both sides of the housing 11 respectively. After engagement, the fixing part 30 and the housing 10 form a stable physical connection and will not easily loosen. During the assembly process, while completing the guidance, the guide fixing part 32 of the fixing part 30 will directly act on the electrical connector 20 that is pre-placed in the mounting groove 12 of the housing 11, and firmly fix it in the mounting groove 12 to prevent the electrical connector 20 from shifting or loosening in subsequent use (such as male plugging and unplugging), and ensure the stability of the conductive contact position.

[0028] Compared to existing technologies, the Ethernet harness female connector of this invention, through the engaging structure of the fixing member 30 and the housing 10, ensures that the connector will not easily loosen during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of the connector. The cooperation between the first engaging part 33 and the second engaging part 34 on both sides of the support part 31 and the first engaging groove 13 and the second engaging groove 14 on both sides of the housing 11 makes the fixing member 30 and the housing 10 form a stable whole. The guiding fixing part 32 of the fixing member 30 not only plays a guiding role during installation, but also directly fixes the electrical connector 20 in the mounting groove 12. This simplifies the installation steps, reduces installation time, and improves work efficiency. By having the guiding fixing part 32 directly act on the electrical connector 20, it ensures that the electrical connector 20 is firmly fixed in the mounting groove 12, avoiding displacement or loosening during subsequent use (such as male plugging and unplugging), ensuring the stability of the conductive contact position, and improving the reliability and stability of signal transmission.

[0029] In this embodiment, the housing 10 also includes a limiting plate 18 disposed on the housing 11 on both sides of the mounting groove 12; the limiting plate is used to limit and fix the electrical connector 20.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first engaging portion 33 includes a first engaging arm 330 disposed at one end of the support portion 31 and a first buckle 331 mounted on the first engaging arm 330; the second engaging portion 34 includes a second engaging arm 332 mounted on the free end of the support portion and a second buckle 333 mounted on the second engaging arm 332; the first buckle 331 cooperates with the first engaging groove 13; the second buckle 333 cooperates with the second engaging groove 14. The first engaging arm 330 is disposed at one end of the support portion 31, and the first latch 331 is installed on the first engaging arm 330, cooperating with the first engaging groove 13 on the housing 11; the second engaging arm 332 is installed at the free end of the support portion 31, and the second latch 333 is installed on the second engaging arm 332, cooperating with the second engaging groove 14 on the housing 11; through the two independent engaging arms and latch structures, the engagement between the fastener 30 and the housing 10 is ensured to be more secure, providing double insurance to prevent loosening; the structure of the engaging arms and latches allows the fastener 30 to be more accurately aligned with the mounting groove 12 during installation, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position; the engaging arms play a guiding role during installation, guiding the fastener 30 smoothly into the mounting groove 12, reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0031] The fastener 30 also includes an intermediate plate 35 disposed on the mounting groove 12, which is opposite to the insertion groove 15. The intermediate plate 35 is used to limit the support portion 31. The intermediate plate 35 is disposed on the mounting groove 12 and opposite to the insertion groove 15, which can limit the support portion 31. This ensures that the support portion 31 is accurately aligned with the mounting groove 12 during installation, avoiding installation problems caused by positional deviation. Through the limiting function of the intermediate plate 35, the lateral and longitudinal movement of the support portion 31 during installation can be reduced, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position, thereby improving the overall performance of the connector. The limiting cooperation between the intermediate plate 35 and the support portion 31, together with the engagement of the first engaging portion 33 and the second engaging portion 34, forms a double fixing structure, making the connection between the fastener 30 and the housing 10 more stable. The limiting function of the intermediate plate 35 can effectively prevent the support portion 31 from loosening due to vibration or external force during subsequent use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector in various environments.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The insertion slot 15 includes an intermediate slot 150 disposed on the housing 11, a first guide slot 151 disposed at one end of the intermediate slot 150, and a second guide slot 152 disposed at the other end of the intermediate slot 150; the intermediate plate 35 is disposed on the mounting slot 12 opposite to the intermediate slot 150; the guide fixing part 32 includes a guide post 320 mounted on one end of the support part 31, and a fixing arm 321 mounted on the other end of the support part 31; the guide post 320 cooperates with the first guide slot 151; the fixing arm 321 cooperates with the second guide slot 152; the fixing arm 321 has an arc-shaped structure; the fixing arm 321 cooperates with the outer surface of the electrical connector 20. The insertion slot 15 is divided into an intermediate slot 150, a first guide slot 151, and a second guide slot 152. This segmented structure allows the guide fixing part 32 to be gradually aligned during installation, ensuring the accurate positioning of the support part 31 within the mounting slot 12. The guide post 320 cooperates with the first guide slot 151 to provide initial guidance, ensuring the accurate alignment of the support part 31 when it enters the mounting slot 12. The fixing arm 321 cooperates with the second guide slot 152 to further provide subsequent guidance and fixing, ensuring the final position of the support part 31 within the mounting slot 12 is accurate. The fixing arm 321 adopts an arc-shaped structure, which cooperates with the outer surface of the electrical connector 20, increasing the contact area and providing a better fixing effect. The arc-shaped structure can also adapt to the shape of the electrical connector 20, reduce stress concentration during installation, and prevent the electrical connector 20 from being damaged due to excessive local pressure. The guide post 320 and the fixing arm 321 cooperate with the first guide groove 151 and the second guide groove 152 respectively to form a double fixing structure, ensuring that the support part 31 is stable in the mounting groove 12 and preventing loosening during use.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 5 The connector 20 includes a terminal block 21, a core 22 sleeved on the terminal block 21, and a conductive element 23 sleeved on the core 22. The terminal block 21 is the core component of the connector 20, used to connect cables and internal circuits. It is typically made of a highly conductive metal material to ensure efficient current transmission. The conductive element 23, sleeved on the core 22, further enhances the conductivity of the connector 20, ensuring the stability and efficiency of current transmission. The dual conductive structure of the terminal block 21 and the conductive element 23 significantly improves the efficiency of current transmission, reduces signal loss during transmission, and enhances signal integrity and quality. The core 22, sleeved on the terminal block 21, provides insulation and protection. The core 22 is typically made of high-performance insulating material, effectively preventing current leakage and improving the connector's insulation performance. The core 22 not only provides insulation protection but also secures the terminal block 21 and buffers mechanical shocks. During insertion and removal or in a vibrating environment, the core 22 can reduce the displacement and loosening of the terminal 21, ensuring its stable position within the connector; the protective function of the core 22 reduces wear on the terminal 21 and extends the service life of the connector 20.

[0034] The conductive component 23 includes a front copper tube 230 and a rear copper tube 231 sleeved on the core 22; the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 are connected. The front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 are respectively sleeved on the core 22, forming a double-layer conductive structure; this increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive path, improves conductivity, reduces resistance, and ensures more stable and efficient signal transmission; the connection between the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 forms a continuous conductive path, avoiding breaks in the conductive path, ensuring continuous current transmission, and reducing signal loss; the double-layer structure of the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 increases the mechanical strength of the conductive component 23, making it more robust and less prone to deformation or breakage when subjected to external forces; the double-layer copper tubes can maintain a good connection even in a vibration environment, reducing loosening or poor contact caused by vibration, and improving the reliability of the connector.

[0035] The conductive component 23 also includes a guide block 232 disposed on the core 22 and a guide groove 233 disposed on the rear copper tube 231; the guide block 232 and the guide groove 233 cooperate with each other. The guide block 232 is mounted on the rubber core 22, and the guide groove 233 is mounted on the rear copper tube 231. The two work together to ensure precise alignment of the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 during installation, reducing deviations during installation and ensuring correct installation of the conductive component 23. The cooperation of the guide block 232 and the guide groove 233 provides guidance, allowing the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 to align smoothly during installation, reducing the difficulty and time required for manual adjustment. The cooperation of the guide block 232 and the guide groove 233 increases the mechanical strength of the conductive component 23, making the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 more stable under external forces, less prone to displacement or loosening. The structure of the guide block 232 and the guide groove 233 prevents misalignment of the front copper tube 230 and the rear copper tube 231 during use, ensuring the continuity and stability of the conductive path.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting wire 40 includes an external conductor 41 and an insulating sleeve 42 fitted over the external conductor. The insulating sleeve 42, fitted over the external conductor 41, provides an additional insulation layer to prevent electrical short circuits and leakage, improving the electrical safety of the connecting wire 40. The insulating sleeve 42 protects the external conductor 41 from physical wear, especially in environments with frequent plugging and unplugging and vibration, reducing electrical faults caused by conductor wear.
