Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a receiving room and a mating part received in the receiving room, the mating part defines a mating hole and a pair of receiving grooves extending rearward on two lateral sides of the mating hole. The terminals include a detecting terminal received in the mating hole and a pair of power terminals received in the receiving grooves. The mating part further defines a pair of guiding surfaces on two sides of the mating hole and a pair of stiffening ribs on two sides of the receiving groove, which can reduce the mating force during the mating process and protect the mating part.
Claims9
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing having two sidewalls, a mating room between said two sidewalls and a mating part received in said mating room, said mating part defining a mating hole and a pair of receiving grooves extending rearward on two lateral sides of said mating hole;
- a plurality of terminals retained in said insulative housing and including a detecting terminal received in said mating hole, two ground terminals retained on said sidewalls and a pair of power terminals received in said receiving grooves;
- wherein said mating part further defines a pair of guiding surfaces on two sides of said mating hole and a pair of stiffening ribs on two sides of each receiving groove, said stiffening ribs are respectively formed on a top side and a bottom side of said receiving groove to stop said power terminal from moving vertically;
- wherein said mating part is rectangular-shaped with a horizontal H-shaped cross section which is received in said mating room, said mating hole is located in the middle of said mating part, said horizontal H-shaped cross section is defined by two pairs of said stiffening ribs and one pair of said receiving grooves, and two pairs of said stiffening ribs extend horizontally from a top surface and a bottom surface of said mating part.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing having a mating room, a T-shaped first mating part and a second mating part which are both received in said mating room, said first mating part including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion, said second mating part having a mating hole;
- a plurality of terminals retained in said insulative housing;
- a shell covering on said insulative housing;
- a spacer engaged with said insulative housing;
- wherein said second mating part has a pair of slanted guiding surfaces on two sides of said mating hole, a pair of receiving grooves behind said slanted guiding surface and a pair of stiffening ribs respectively formed on a top side and a bottom side of said receiving groove;
- wherein said first mating part defines a receiving slot on a lateral surface of said vertical portion, said insulative housing has a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of sidewalls and a rear wall, there is an engaging slot and a retaining slot respectively formed on an inner surface and an outer surface of said sidewall, said rear wall has a notch for receiving said terminals and a fixing slot on two sides of said notch for engaging with said spacer, said fixing slot is vertically extending and having a wider upper part and a narrower lower part which defines a T shape.
