AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When traditional connectors reduce size, the spacing and steps between terminals become narrower, resulting in increased manufacturing difficulty and difficulty in precisely arranging multiple terminals.

Method used

The half-body structure is designed in which each connector includes one body and two half-body, each half-body has multiple terminals attached to the body, integrating the terminal with the body through embedded molding technology, reducing the spacing between the terminals, and improving the reliability of the connection by enhancing metal accessories and coverings.

Benefits of technology

The reduction of terminal spacing is achieved, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the reliability of the connector and the flexibility of manufacturing are improved.

Abstract

To narrow the intervals between protrusions to which a plurality of terminals are attached, to facilitate manufacturing, enable miniaturization, and increase reliability. [Solution] Each connector comprises a half body portion including a connector body and a plurality of terminals attached to the connector body, body end portions formed at both ends of the connector body of each half body portion, and reinforcing metal fittings integrated with the body end portions, each of the connector bodies including a convex portion extending in its longitudinal direction and integrated with the terminal, each of the terminals including a wide contact extending in the vertical direction and an upper portion narrower than the contact and connected to the upper end of the contact, the terminals arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the convex portion are oriented in opposite directions between adjacent ones in the width direction of the convex portion, and are arranged so that the upper portions of adjacent ones overlap when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the convex portion.
