SUMMARY

An object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrical connector with gradual plugging feel.

In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: an electrical connector, including: an insulating body including a first mating surface and a first mating slot extending through the first mating surface, the first mating slot being configured to receive a mating module; and a first power terminal module fixed to the insulating body, the first power terminal module including a first power terminal and a second power terminal, the first power terminal including a first main body portion, a first elastic arm extending from the first main body portion, and a first tail portion extending from the first main body portion; the first elastic arm including a first mating portion extending into the first mating slot; the second power terminal including a second main body portion, a second elastic arm extending from the second main body portion, and a second tail portion extending from the second main body portion; the second elastic arm including a second mating portion extending into the first mating slot; the first main body portion and the second main body portion being arranged at intervals along a first direction; the first mating portion and the second mating portion being arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; wherein the second elastic arm is provided with a first raised portion protruding toward the first power terminal along the first direction; when the mating module is not inserted into the first mating slot, a first gap is formed between the first raised portion and the first power terminal in the first direction, so that the first raised portion is not in contact with the first power terminal; and when the mating module is inserted into the first mating slot and inserted in place, the second elastic arm is deformed toward the first power terminal by being abutted by the mating module, so that the first raised portion is in contact with the first power terminal in the first direction.

In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: a card edge connector configured to receive an electronic card, including: an insulating body including a first mating surface and a first mating slot extending through the first mating surface, the first mating slot being configured to receive the electronic card; and a first power terminal module including a first power terminal and a second power terminal, the first power terminal including a first main body portion, a first elastic arm and a first tail portion; the first elastic arm including a first mating portion extending into the first mating slot; the second power terminal including a second main body portion, a second elastic arm and a second tail portion; the second elastic arm including a second mating portion extending into the first mating slot; the first main body portion and the second main body portion being arranged at intervals along a first direction; the first mating portion and the second mating portion being arranged at intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; wherein the second elastic arm is provided with a first raised portion protruding toward the first power terminal; when the electronic card is not inserted into the first mating slot, a first gap is formed between the first raised portion and the first power terminal in the first direction, so that the first raised portion is not in contact with the first power terminal; and when the electronic card is inserted into the first mating slot and inserted in place, the second elastic arm is driven by the electronic card, so that the first raised portion is in contact with the first power terminal in the first direction.

Compared with the prior art, the second elastic arm of the present disclosure is provided with the first raised portion protruding toward the first power terminal along the first direction. When the mating module is not inserted into the first mating slot, there is a first gap between the first raised portion and the first power terminal in the first direction. Therefore, the first raised portion is not in contact with the first power terminal, so that a relatively weak plugging feel is produced. When the mating module is inserted into the first mating slot and inserted in place, the second elastic arm is abutted by the mating module and deformed toward the first power terminal. As a result, the first raised portion is in contact with the first power terminal in the first direction, thereby generating a relatively strong plugging feel. At the same time, through the abutment of the first raised portion on the first power terminal, the first power terminal and the second power terminal are connected in series, which facilitates the transmission of a relatively large current.

In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of first power terminal modules 2 are fixed to the insulating body 1, and all the first power terminal modules 2 have the same structure. The following only takes one first power terminal module 2 as an example for detailed description.

Referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 13, the first power terminal module 2 includes a first power terminal 21 and a second power terminal 22. The first power terminal 21 includes a first main body portion 211, a first elastic arm 212 integrally extending from the first main body portion 211, and a first tail portion 213 integrally extending from the first main body portion 211. The first elastic arm 212 includes a first mating portion 2121 extending into the first mating slot 110.

The second power terminal 22 includes a second main body portion 221, a second elastic arm 222 integrally extending from the second main body portion 221, and a second tail portion 223 integrally extending from the second main body portion 221. The second elastic arm 222 includes a second mating portion 2221 extending into the first mating slot 110.

The first main body portion 211 and the second main body portion 221 are arranged at intervals along a first direction D1-D1 (for example, a top-bottom direction). The first mating portion 2121 and the second mating portion 2221 are arranged at intervals along a second direction D2-D2 (for example, a left-right direction). The first tail portion 213 and the second tail portion 223 are arranged at intervals along a third direction D3-D3 (for example, a front-rear direction). The first direction D1-D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2-D2. The third direction D3-D3 is perpendicular to both the first direction D1-D1 and the second direction D2-D2.

The second elastic arm 222 includes a first raised portion 224 protruding toward the first power terminal 21 along the first direction D1-D1. The first raised portion 224 has a first inclined portion 2241, a second inclined portion 2242, and an are portion 2243 connecting the first inclined portion 2241 and the second inclined portion 2242.

Referring to FIG. 17 and FIG. 19, when the mating module 200 is not inserted into the first mating slot 110, a first gap g1 is formed between the first raised portion 224 and the first power terminal 21 in the first direction D1-D1, so that the first raised portion 224 is not in contact with the first power terminal 21.

Referring to FIG. 18 and FIG. 20, when the mating module 200 is inserted into the first mating slot 110 and inserted in place, the second elastic arm 222 is abutted by the mating module 200 and deformed toward the first power terminal 21, so that the first raised portion 224 is in contact with the first power terminal 21 in the first direction D1-D1.

The first main body portion 211 is L-shaped, and includes a flat first base portion 2111 and a first bent portion 2112 bent from the first base portion 2111. The first elastic arm 212 integrally extends from the first base portion 2111. The first tail portion 213 integrally extends from the first bent portion 2112. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, an angle R is formed at the connection between the first elastic arm 212 and the first base portion 2111 so as to improve the elasticity of the first elastic arm 212. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, there are multiple first tail portions 213 of one first power terminal 21 and are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2-D2. The first tail portions 213 are used for being connected to the circuit board 300. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, when the mating module 200 is inserted into the first mating slot 110 and inserted in place, the first raised portion 224 abuts against the first base portion 2111. After the first power terminal 21 is installed in the corresponding terminal installation groove 15, the abutting surface 151 is at least engaged with a part of the first main body portion 211. With such arrangement, when the mating module 200 is inserted, the insulating body 1 can abut against and limit the first power terminal 21 to prevent the first power terminal 21 from warping improperly (for example prevent the see-saw phenomenon).

As shown in FIG. 8, in the first embodiment of the first power terminal module 2 of the present disclosure, there are two first elastic arms 212 of the first power terminal 21, and the two first elastic arms 212 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2-D2. A first distance gap 1 is provided between the two first elastic arms 212. The first base portion 2111 has a first centerline C1. The first abutting portion 2121 has a second centerline C2. The first centerline C1 and the second centerline C2 are misaligned.

The second main body portion 221 is L-shaped, and includes a flat second base portion 2211 and a second bent portion 2212 bent from the second base portion 2211. The second elastic arm 222 integrally extends from the second base portion 2211. The second tail portion 223 integrally extends from the second bent portion 2212. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, there are multiple second tail portions 223 of one second power terminal 22 and arranged at intervals along the second direction D2-D2. The second tail portions 223 are used for being connected the circuit board 300. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, an angle between the first inclined portion 2241 and the second base portion 2221 is α, where 0°<α≤65°. With such arrangement, it is beneficial to maintain the elasticity of the second elastic arm 222 and avoid yielding (that is, losing good elasticity).

In the first embodiment of the first power terminal module 2 of the present disclosure, there are two second elastic arms 222 of the second power terminal 22. The two second elastic arms 222 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2-D2. A second distance gap 2 is provided between the two second elastic arms 222. A distance between the two first elastic arms 212 and the two second elastic arms 222 is a third distance gap 3. The first distance gap 1 is the same as the second distance gap 2 and both are greater than the third distance gap 3. The second base portion 2211 has a third centerline C3. The second abutting portion 2221 has a fourth centerline C4. The third centerline C3 and the fourth centerline C4 are misaligned.

In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first elastic arm 212 and the second elastic arm 222 have a structure with a root portion and a free end narrower than the root portion. With such arrangement, it is beneficial to achieve a balance between maintaining flexibility and maintaining a terminal area as large as possible.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the embodiment shown in the present disclosure, the first power terminal module 2 includes a space 2120 located between the first elastic arm 212 and the second elastic arm 222 along the first direction D1-D1. In this way, mutual interference between the first elastic arm 212 and the second elastic arm 222 is avoided.

In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first mating portion 2121 and the second mating portion 2221 are arc-shaped. Protruding directions of the first abutting portion 2121 and the second abutting portion 2221 are the same, and both are opposite to a protruding direction of the first raised portion 224. The first mating portion 2121 and the second mating portion 2221 are located at the same height.

The second power terminal module 3 includes a third power terminal 31 and a fourth power terminal 32. The third power terminal 31 includes a third main body 311, a third elastic arm 312 integrally extending from the third main body portion 311, and a third tail portion 313 integrally extending from the third main portion 311. The third elastic arm 312 includes a third mating portion 3121 extending into the first mating slot 110.

The fourth power terminal 32 includes a fourth main body 321, a fourth elastic arm 322 integrally extending from the fourth main body portion 321, and a fourth tail portion 323 integrally extending from the fourth main portion 321. The fourth elastic arm 322 includes a fourth mating portion 3221 extending into the first mating slot 110.

The third main body portion 311 and the fourth main body portion 321 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1-D1 (for example, the top-bottom direction). The third mating portion 3121 and the fourth mating portion 3221 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2-D2 (for example, the left-right direction). The third tail portion 313 and the fourth tail portion 323 are arranged at intervals along the third direction D3-D3 (for example, the front-rear direction).

The fourth elastic arm 322 has a second raised portion 324 protruding toward the third power terminal 31 along the first direction D1-D1.

When the mating module 200 is not inserted into the first mating slot 110, there is a second gap (referring to the first gap g1) between the second raised portion 324 and the third power terminal 31 in the first direction D1-D1, so that the second raised portion 324 is not in contact with the third power terminal 31.

When the mating module 200 is inserted into the first mating slot 110 and inserted in place, the fourth elastic arm 322 is abutted by the mating module 200 and deformed toward the third power terminal 31, so that the second raised portion 324 is in contact with the third power terminal 31 in the first direction D1-D1.

In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, the first body portion 211, the second body portion 221, the fourth body portion 321 and the third body portion 311 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the first direction D1-D1. The first tail portion 213, the second tail portion 223, the fourth tail portion 323 and the third tail portion 313 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the third direction D3-D3. A partial structure of the first elastic arm 212 and the third elastic arm 312 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the first mating slot 110. A partial structure of the second elastic arm 222 and the fourth elastic arm 322 are symmetrically disposed on the two sides of the first mating slot 110.

Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, the plurality of conductive terminals 4 are installed and fixed in the plurality of terminal receiving grooves 16. Each conductive terminal 4 includes an elastic contact portion 41 extending into the second mating slot 120 and a tail portion 42 extending beyond the insulating body 1. The tail portion 42 is used for being mounted to the circuit board 300. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic contact portions 41 of the plurality of conductive terminals 4 are arranged in two rows, and are arranged on two sides (for example, upper and lower sides) of the second mating slot 120. The elastic contact portions 41 are configured to be in contact with the third conductive pads 203 of the mating module 200. According to different application requirements, the plurality of conductive terminals 4 may be power terminals and/or signal terminals.

Referring to FIG. 14 to FIG. 16, in a second embodiment of the first power terminal module 2 of the present disclosure, the first power terminal 21 has only one first elastic arm 212, and the second power terminal 22 also has only one second elastic arm 212.

Compared with the prior art, the second elastic arm 222 of the present disclosure is provided with the first raised portion 224 protruding toward the first power terminal 21 along the first direction D1-D1. When the mating module 200 is not inserted into the first mating slot 110, the first raised portion 224 and the first power terminal 21 have the first gap g1 in the first direction D1-D1. Therefore, the first raised portion 224 is not in contact with the first power terminal 21, so that a relatively weak plugging feel is produced. In other words, when the mating module 200 is just inserted, the plugging force is relatively small, which facilitates the insertion of the mating module 200. When the mating module 200 is further inserted into the first mating slot 110 and inserted in place, the second elastic arm 222 is abutted by the mating module 200 and deformed toward the first power terminal 21. As a result, the first raised portion 224 is made to contact the first power terminal 21 in the first direction D1-D1, so as to generate a relatively strong plugging feel. In other words, when the mating module 200 is further inserted, the plugging force is greater, thereby improving the contact reliability between the mating module 200 and the power terminals. At the same time, through the first raised portion 224 abutting against the first power terminal 21, the first power terminal 21 and the second power terminal 22 are connected in series, which facilitates the transmission of relatively large current.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present disclosure and not to limit the technical solutions described in the present disclosure. The understanding of this specification should be based on those skilled in the art. Descriptions of directions, although they have been described in detail in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the application, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the application should be covered by the claims of the application.
