[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description of an automotive connector adapter, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, is provided. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-7 An automotive connector adapter, comprising: The flat terminal 100 includes an integrally extended first plate 110 and a second plate 120. The width of the first plate 110 is greater than the width of the second plate 120, and the length of the second plate 120 is greater than the length of the first plate 110. The first plate 110 is provided with a first connecting hole 111, and a connecting stud 200 passes through the first connecting hole 111. The second plate 120 is provided with a second connecting hole 121 at one end away from the first plate 110. The housing 300 is integrally formed and connected to the flat terminal 100. The housing 300 sequentially includes an integral adapter 310, a middle seat 320, and an extension sleeve 330. The first plate 110 and the head 210 of the connecting stud 200 are located inside the adapter 310. One side of the adapter 310 has an outwardly opening window 311. The column 220 of the connecting stud 200 protrudes from the window 311. The adapter 310 has a through hole 312 on the opening side facing away from the window 311. The through hole 312 connects to the window 311, allowing a portion of the head 210 of the connecting stud 200 to be exposed. The middle seat 320... A boss is formed by a horizontal outward protrusion. Several fixing holes 321 are provided on the boss. A metal sleeve 322 is provided in the fixing holes 321. The middle seat 320 has a glue injection hole 323 that is horizontally opened along the width direction of the flat terminal 100. The flat terminal 100 passes vertically through the glue injection hole 323. The glue injection hole 323 is filled with sealant 324. A cap 325 is provided at the end of the glue injection hole 323. An annular groove 326 is provided at the end of the middle seat 320 facing away from the adapter seat 310. The annular groove 326 surrounds the extension sleeve 330. The second plate 120 passes through the extension sleeve 330. The second connecting hole 121 is located outside the extension sleeve 330. The sealing ring 400 is configured within the annular groove 326.

[0019] A 90-degree adapter is formed by a flat terminal 100 and a connecting stud 200. The outer shell is used for insulation and installation. The head 210 of the connecting stud 200 is integrally molded and assembled into the window 311. That is, the connecting stud 200, flat terminal 100 and outer shell are integrated, so the connecting stud 200 will not rotate freely during installation, making installation convenient and simple. The adapter seat 310 of the outer shell has a through hole 312 corresponding to the window 311, which allows for electrical connection on both sides of the adapter end. It can be clamped for electrical connection, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. The width of the first plate 110 is greater than that of the second plate 120, which not only improves the connection strength of the adapter end, but also prevents the flat terminal 100 from axially loosening. The middle seat 320 of the outer shell has a fixing hole 321, and a metal sleeve 322 is integrally molded into the fixing hole 321 to facilitate the connection of the middle seat 320 and improve its service life. An injection hole 323 is provided in the middle seat 320, which not only improves the sealing performance, but also improves the stability of the flat terminal 100. A sealing ring 400 is provided on the side of the middle seat 320 facing the extension sleeve 330. The sealing ring 400 surrounds the extension sleeve 330, thereby ensuring the sealing of the end where the second plate 120 is located.

[0020] Generally, the connecting stud 200 and the second plate 120 are used to connect the male end of the automotive connector and the female end of the automotive connector.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7The adapter 310 has a limiting post 313 at the end away from the center seat 320 and a limiting plate 314 at the end of the adapter 310 closer to the center seat 320. The limiting post 313 and the limiting plate 314 form a pre-positioning structure, which facilitates installation and ensures the accuracy of the installation position.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The limiting plate 314 and the middle seat 320 are connected by a first reinforcing rib 315. This ensures the strength of the limiting plate 314 and prevents deformation of the limiting plate 314.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first plate 110 protrudes from the window 311. This enhances the stability of the electrical connection and facilitates the connection between the nut and the connecting stud 200.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first plate 110 has platforms 316 on both sides of the window 311. The platforms 316 are lower than the end face of the window 311, and the platforms 316 extend outward with inclined surfaces 317. The inclined surfaces 317 can make the assembly more compact.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 The adapter 310 has several second reinforcing ribs 318 on the side facing away from the window 311. This increases the strength of the adapter 310 and ensures the stability of the connection.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The middle seat 320 has a countersunk groove 327 corresponding to the fixing hole 321, and the countersunk groove 327 is located at the end of the middle seat 320 facing the adapter 310. This facilitates bolt / stud connection.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The outer wall of the extension sleeve 330 is provided with several third reinforcing ribs 331 to improve the strength of the extension sleeve 330.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The middle seat 320 has a positioning post 328 on the side facing away from the adapter 310. This facilitates the pre-positioning and installation of the middle seat 320.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The side of the middle seat 320 facing away from the adapter seat 310 is provided with several grooves 329.
