Abstract
A female connector that is easy to be engaged with a male connector includes a connector insulator and a plurality of terminal modules inserted into the connector insulator. The terminal module includes grounding pins and fork-shaped signal pins. The signal pin has twisted pin arms and a raised arm portion. The connector insulator includes grounding terminal openings and signal terminal openings. The signal terminal opening includes a raised opening bottom, which has a slope portion and a raised portion. The twisted pin arms provide smooth surfaces to allow a signal terminal of a male connector being smoothly inserted between the pin arms. The raised arm portion, the slope portion and the raised portion allow the two pin arms keeping a distance away from each other.
Claims3
A female connector that is easy to be engaged with a male connector, comprising:
- a plurality of terminal modules, each of the terminal modules comprising:
- a plurality of strip-shaped grounding pins;
- and
- a plurality of forked shaped signal pins, each of the signal pins comprising a twisted first pin arm and a twisted second pin arm, front ends of the first pin arm and the second pin arm comprising contact portions facing each other, the first pin arm comprising a raised arm portion at a central portion thereof, and
- a connector insulator comprising:
- a plurality of signal terminal opening units, each of the signal terminal opening units comprising two signal terminal openings, the signal terminal opening receiving the fork-shaped signal pin and comprising a raised opening bottom, the raised opening bottom having a slope portion close to an entrance of the signal pin and a raised portion away from the entrance of the signal pin;
- wherein the first pin arm is raised by the slope portion and is rested on the raised portion to keep a distance away from the second pin arm when the signal pin is inserted into the signal terminal opening.
