Abstract
A type of combined electrical connector is at least made by combining an outer shell component and a joining component. The joining component at least consists of a joining major conductive terminal assembly and a joining minor conductive terminal assembly. Therefore, after the electrical connector design is completed, customization of the quantity, structure, and electrical connection relationships of the conductive terminals can still be achieved by adjusting the outer shell component and the joining component to meet the specific requirements and advancements in electronic devices.
