Connector Separators Prevent Point Discharge
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical connection technologies face safety hazards due to point discharge interference between closely spaced connecting terminals, particularly in multi-terminal connections, which can lead to potential safety risks.
Innovation Solution
A connecting piece with integrated separators arranged between terminal accommodating cavities to prevent point discharge, combined with a compact structure that allows for safe and stable connections of both low-voltage and high-voltage terminals, using a design with transverse and longitudinal separators to separate and protect the terminals.

1Volume of moving object
If connecting terminals are spaced in a short distance to achieve compact structure, then device size is reduced, but point discharge interference occurs between terminals causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting piece is segmented into multiple functional regions: terminal accommodating cavities for holding terminals, separators for isolating adjacent terminals, and enclosure walls for protecting the terminal fixing portion. This segmentation allows terminals to be closely spaced while maintaining safety through physical isolation barriers.
Solution Approach 2:
Separators are introduced as intermediary elements positioned between adjacent connecting terminals. These separators extend reversely in the extension direction of terminal accommodating cavities and act as insulating barriers that prevent point discharge interference while allowing the terminals to maintain compact spacing.
2Reliability
If separators are added between terminal accommodating cavities to prevent point discharge, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple components are merged into integrated structures: the body integrates terminal fixing portions with enclosure walls, separators are integrated into the connecting piece structure, and the overall design combines insulation, protection, and terminal accommodation functions into a unified compact assembly, reducing the number of separate parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting piece serves multiple functions simultaneously: it accommodates connecting terminals, provides insulation through separators, offers protection via enclosure walls, and maintains compact spacing. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, simplifying the overall structure.
3Reliability
If enclosure walls are extended to provide better protection, then safety is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The body and enclosure walls are merged into a single integrated component formed by one-time molding. This combining of structures eliminates the need for separate manufacturing and assembly steps for the enclosure walls, reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining comprehensive protection.

AI summary
The invention discloses a connector, a connector, a matched connector, a matched connector and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes the connector and the matched connector. A terminal fixing portion of the connector is provided with terminal accommodating cavities for accommodating connecting terminals. Separators for separating adjacent connecting terminals are disposed as protruding between the terminal accommodating cavities. The matched connector comprises insertion holes and isolating slots provided on a female end seat. The separators are inserted into the isolating slots. One end of the connecting terminal is disposed on the body of the connector, and the other end is held within the insertion hole and is connectable with a terminal connecting piece of the matched connector. The invention prevents connecting terminals from interfering with each other to provide a higher secure connection performance, while maintaining smaller spacing therebetween.
