Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component and assembly manufacturing technology, and in particular to a connector for mating points. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have greater demands for the diversity of automotive functions and larger spaces. Therefore, the number of automotive components and wiring harness circuits is constantly increasing, while the interior space of the car is constantly decreasing. In the practical application of automotive wiring harnesses, the phenomenon of multiple wires being crimped together frequently occurs. Traditional production processes use "U"-shaped terminals to crimp multiple strands of wire, which suffers from low production efficiency, high equipment resource consumption, and large equipment investment. Furthermore, the voltage drop at the crimping point is large after crimping, and the temperature rises during operation, leading to high wire temperatures and a tendency for wire ablation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a connector for bonding to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to improve and innovate upon the shortcomings and problems existing in the background technology, and to provide a connector for connecting points that can simultaneously short-circuit multiple branch wires.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A connector for mating includes a sheath body, an adapter end cap, a copper busbar, sheath terminals, a waterproof plug, and a sealing ring. The sheath body is a multi-hole sheath with a stepped design. The adapter end cap is located at the opposite end of the terminal insertion on the sheath body. The adapter end cap is connected to the sheath body via a snap-fit ​​structure. The copper busbar is located inside the adapter end cap, allowing for quick circuit detection by removing the cap in case of a circuit fault. The sheath terminals and the waterproof plug are crimped together and inserted into the sheath body, connecting to the copper busbar inside the adapter end cap. The sheath terminals and the sheath body are connected using a Lance structure. The sealing ring is located on the protrusion of the sheath body at the connection point between the sheath body and the adapter end cap, serving a waterproof function.

[0006] Preferably, the sheath body has limiting protrusions on both sides, and the adapter end cap has through holes that fit the limiting protrusions.

[0007] Preferably, the copper busbar and the sheath terminal have a cross-sectional area of ​​0.6*1.5.

[0008] Preferably, the wire is connected to the sheath terminal and the waterproof plug by crimping.

[0009] Preferably, the adapter end cap adopts a double-ear through-hole design.

[0010] Preferably, the sheath body adopts a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0011] Advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0012] The connector provided by this utility model has multiple holes in the sheath body to meet the requirements of different numbers of branch wire harnesses, which can effectively avoid the phenomenon of multiple wires being pressed together. The Lance structure design can effectively improve the efficiency of the terminal and the sheath. The wires, sheath terminals and waterproof plugs adopt the traditional crimping method, which avoids the crimping of multiple wires, improves the stability of crimping, reduces the voltage drop when conducting, reduces the temperature rise between the wires and terminals, improves the safety of wire harness operation, and makes the product more automated and reduces manual operation. The sheath body adopts a snap-fit ​​structure, which effectively avoids the end cap falling off and the connection being unreliable, and facilitates later maintenance and disassembly.

[0013] The connector for bonding provided by this utility model adopts a connector back-binding method, which can be back-bound to any part of the main body of the wire harness. Attached Figure Description
