Grounding member and manufacturing method of it, grounding assembly, connector and terminal module

Abstract

The present invention relates to a grounding member, a method for manufacturing the grounding members, a grounding assembly including the grounding member, a terminal module comprising the grounding assembly, and a connector including the terminal module. A grounding member includes a plurality of contact terminals arranged in a row, a first connection strip connected to a first end of each of the contact terminals, and a second connection strip connected to a second end of each of the contact terminals. Each of the contact terminals has an elastic contact part electrically contacting one of a plurality of grounding terminals of a connector. The grounding member is an integral stamped component that interconnects the grounding terminals. The present invention, the structure of the grounding member can be changed by cutting the connection strip of the grounding member, so that the structure of the grounding member can be changed according to different needs. Therefore, the present invention does not require providing multiple different manufacturing molds, reducing manufacturing costs.
