Connector Terminal Guide Plate Structure for Secure Secondary Locking

The annular structure is segmented into multiple sections (first annular section and second annular section) that can be formed through different manufacturing processes. This allows the structure to maintain manufacturing simplicity while achieving the closed-loop configuration needed for strength.

The annular structure transitions from a two-dimensional open shape to a three-dimensional closed-loop structure by adding the second annular section that connects the ends of the first annular section. This dimensional completion eliminates the open side weakness while maintaining manufacturability through staged formation.

The locking interaction is segmented into two distinct annular sections that engage with the secondary lock at different positions. This segmentation allows the structure to remain relatively simple while providing multiple engagement points that prevent disengagement.

The closed-loop annular structure is pre-formed to provide continuous engagement with the secondary lock before any disengagement force is applied. This preliminary structural configuration ensures that the terminal cannot easily脱离 the lock, as the closed loop provides inherent resistance to opening forces.

The annular structure is divided into two separately formable sections that can be manufactured with lower individual precision requirements. The first annular section and second annular section can be formed through different manufacturing steps, allowing each section to be produced within standard tolerances while the combined structure achieves the needed strength.

The two annular sections are merged to form a complete closed-loop structure that provides enhanced strength. By combining two relatively simple-to-manufacture sections into an integrated closed configuration, the overall structure achieves high strength without requiring any single component to be manufactured with extreme precision.
