Connector and terminal assembly

Abstract

A connector includes a housing, a plurality of sheet terminals, and a plurality of spacers. The plurality of sheet terminals are housed in the housing and are stacked on top of each other. The plurality of spacers are housed in the housing and are stacked on top of each other, with at least one spacer disposed between two adjacent sheet terminals and at least one sheet terminal disposed between two adjacent spacers.

Claims

1. A connector, comprising: A shell; Multiple sheet terminals are housed in the housing, and these sheet terminals are stacked on top of each other; Multiple isolators are housed in the housing, the isolators are stacked on top of each other, at least one isolator is disposed between two adjacent sheet terminals, and at least one sheet terminal is disposed between two adjacent isolators; and at least one fixing piece is disposed on the outside of the sheet terminals and the isolators, the at least one fixing piece including at least one first spring piece extending inward toward the sheet terminals and the isolators.

2. The connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the sheet terminals includes a body and a contact portion extending forward from the body, the contact portion being an arcuate rib having a curvature between 4 mm and 6 mm.

3. The connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ratio of the thickness of each of the sheet terminals to the thickness of each of the spacers is between 1 and 50.

4. The connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the sheet terminals further includes a clamping portion at the rear end, the clamping portions being aligned with each other and defining a clamping groove.

5. The connector as claimed in claim 4, wherein the clamping portion has two opposing sidewalls, at least one of which extends toward the other to form at least one rib.

6. The connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one retaining piece includes a second spring extending outward in a direction away from the sheet terminals and the spacers.

7. The connector as claimed in claim 6, wherein the housing includes a limiting hole corresponding to the second spring, the inner wall of the housing is configured to elastically deform the second spring, and the limiting hole is configured to allow the elastically recovering second spring to be inserted.

8. A connector comprising: A shell; A terminal assembly housed within the housing, the terminal assembly comprising a connected main body portion and a mating portion, the main body portion having at least one first fixing hole; a fixing assembly comprising a fixing plate and a fixing post, the fixing post passing through the first fixing hole and assembled with the fixing plate, the main body portion comprising bodies of a plurality of stacked sheet terminals and a plurality of spacers, the mating portion comprising a plurality of cantilever arms extending from the main body portion of the sheet terminals; and at least one fixing plate disposed on the outer side of the sheet terminals and the spacers, the at least one fixing plate comprising at least one first spring plate extending inward toward the sheet terminals and the spacers.

9. The connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein each of the sheet terminals further includes a clamping portion at a rear end, the clamping portions of the sheet terminals being aligned with each other and defining a clamping groove.

10. The connector as claimed in claim 9, wherein the clamping portion has two opposing sidewalls, at least one of which extends toward the other to form at least one rib.

11. The connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the at least one retaining piece includes a second spring extending outwardly toward the plate terminals and the spacers.

12. The connector as claimed in claim 11, wherein the housing includes a limiting hole corresponding to the second spring, the inner wall of the housing is configured to elastically deform the second spring, and the limiting hole is configured to allow the elastically recovering second spring to be inserted.

13. A terminal assembly, comprising: A plurality of sheet terminals stacked on top of each other, each sheet terminal including a body and a contact portion extending forward from the body; a plurality of spacers stacked on top of each other, each spacer disposed between two adjacent sheet terminals, and at least one sheet terminal disposed between two adjacent spacers; a fixing assembly fixing the plurality of sheet terminals and the plurality of spacers, wherein the outline of the body is substantially the same as the outline of the spacer; and at least one fixing piece disposed on the outside of the sheet terminals and the spacers, the at least one fixing piece including at least one first spring extending inward toward the sheet terminals and the spacers.

14. The terminal assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein each of the sheet terminals further includes a clamping portion at a rear end, the clamping portions of the sheet terminals being aligned with each other and defining a clamping groove.

15. The terminal assembly as claimed in claim 14, wherein the clamping portion has two opposing sidewalls, at least one of which extends toward the other to form at least one rib.

16. The terminal assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the at least one retaining piece includes a second spring extending outwardly toward the sheet terminals and the spacers.
