[0011] As a further optimization, the insulating support frame is made of LCP liquid crystal polymer. The insulating support frame is integrally molded by injection molding to wrap multiple sets of signal pins and four sets of power pins. The insulating support frame is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0012] As a further optimization, the inner wall of the guide portion is provided with a beryllium copper spring shield, and the outer wall of the beryllium copper spring shield is provided with a shielding shell, which is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the guide portion.

[0013] As a further optimization, the shielding shell is symmetrically provided with elastic locking buckles on the left and right sides.

[0014] As a further optimization, the outer walls at both ends of the guide are provided with anti-foolproof guide grooves.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: 1. By setting a guide section at the lower end of the main body of the housing, and setting a beryllium copper spring shield and shielding shell on the inner wall of the guide section, the structural strength of the connector is effectively enhanced and the loosening problem caused by frequent plugging and unplugging is reduced; 2. The tight fit between the shielding shell and the inner wall of the guide section further enhances the shielding performance of the connector, reduces electromagnetic interference, and ensures stable signal transmission. The floating contact head connected by a miniature spring not only improves the signal transmission efficiency of the connector but also enhances the stability between contact points, reducing the occurrence of poor contact.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] This utility model provides a structurally enhanced Type-C connector, as shown in Figures 1 to 4. The structurally enhanced Type-C connector includes a housing body 1, a guide portion 3 at the lower end of the housing body 1, multiple sets of signal pins 4 and four sets of power pins 5 inside the housing body 1, floating contact heads 6 at the lower ends of the multiple sets of signal pins 4 and the four sets of power pins 5, and an insulating support frame 7 inside the housing body 1. The multiple sets of floating contact heads 6 and the four sets of power pins 5 are fixedly connected to the insulating support frame 7.

[0020] The insulating support bracket 7 provides stable support for the internal components of the housing body 1, ensuring that the signal pin 4 and power pin 5 do not shift or deform during insertion and removal. In addition, the design of the guide part 3 allows the connector to be smoothly guided when inserted into electronic devices, avoiding damage caused by improper insertion angle. Through optimized structural design, the structural strength and stability of the connector are significantly improved, the service life is extended, and stable signal transmission is guaranteed, meeting the high performance and high stability requirements of modern electronic devices for connectors.

[0021] The outer shell 1 is encased by a metal outer shell 2. The design of the metal outer shell 2 further enhances the overall strength of the connector, enabling it to better resist deformation and maintain structural integrity when subjected to external forces. Furthermore, the metal outer shell 2 reduces the impact of external electromagnetic interference on internal signal transmission, ensuring the stability and security of data transmission. Preferred materials for the metal outer shell 2 include, but are not limited to, stainless steel, zinc alloy, or copper alloy.

[0022] Preferably, the multiple signal pins 4 are arranged in a double-row staggered configuration.

[0023] This double-row staggered arrangement not only saves space, but also minimizes electromagnetic interference between signal pins 4, improving the quality of signal transmission.

[0024] The multiple floating contact heads 6 are connected to the multiple signal pins 4 and the four power pins 5 by miniature springs, and the multiple floating contact heads 6 are hemispherical.

[0025] The floating contact head 6 has a certain floating capability during insertion and removal, which can better adapt to the slight differences in the interfaces of different electronic devices and ensure good contact effect. At the same time, the hemispherical floating contact head 6 design also increases the stability of the contact and reduces signal interruption or transmission quality problems caused by poor contact.

[0026] The insulating support frame 7 is made of LCP liquid crystal polymer. The insulating support frame 7 is integrally molded by injection molding to wrap multiple sets of signal pins 4 and four sets of power pins 5. Reinforcing ribs are provided inside the insulating support frame 7.

[0027] The reinforcing rib design further enhances the structural strength of the insulating support frame 7, enabling it to withstand greater external forces without damage, thereby ensuring the overall stability and durability of the connector.

[0028] The inner wall of the guide section 3 is provided with a beryllium copper spring shield 8, and the outer wall of the beryllium copper spring shield 8 is provided with a shield shell 9, which is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the guide section 3.

[0029] The tight fit design effectively prevents electromagnetic wave leakage, enhances the shielding performance of the connector, and further protects the signal pin 4 and power pin 5 from external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the clarity and stability of signal transmission.

[0030] The shielding shell 9 has elastic locking buckles 10 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides.

[0031] The design of the elastic locking buckle 10 allows the connector to be securely locked in place after being inserted into the electronic device, preventing loosening or detachment due to accidental contact or vibration, thus improving the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0032] Anti-foolproof guide grooves 11 are provided on the outer walls of both the left and right ends of the guide part 3.

[0033] The design of the foolproof guide groove 11 ensures that the connector can only be inserted in the correct direction, avoiding damage caused by incorrect insertion and improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0034] In application, this invention firstly ensures that the connector can be smoothly guided and accurately inserted into the interface of electronic devices through the design of the guide part 3, avoiding damage caused by improper insertion angle. At the same time, the tight fit between the metal shell 2, the beryllium copper spring shield 8, and the shield shell 9 further enhances the structural strength and shielding performance of the connector. Secondly, the arrangement of multiple signal pins 4 in a double-row staggered configuration, and the hemispherical floating contact head 6 connected by a micro spring, not only saves space and reduces electromagnetic interference, but also improves the signal transmission efficiency and stability between contact points of the connector. During insertion and removal, the floating contact head 6 can adapt to the slight differences in the interfaces of different electronic devices. The insulating support frame 7 is also equipped with reinforcing ribs, further enhancing the overall stability and durability of the connector.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
