Example one
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional connection terminal 1. As shown in fig. 1, the conventional connection terminal 1 has only one row of contacts 11. The conventional connection terminal 1 cannot pass a large current. In order to enable the connecting terminal to pass larger current, the embodiment provides a novel connecting terminal which is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a connection terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the connection terminal of the present embodiment includes a first base 10 and a second base 20, the first base 10 has a first holding portion 12 and a first conductive connecting portion 13 connected to each other, and the first conductive connecting portion 13 has a first row of contacts 131. The second base 20 has a second holding portion 22 and a second conductive connecting portion 23 connected to each other, the second conductive connecting portion 23 has a second row of contacts 231, the second base 20 is connected to the first base 10, and the first row of contacts 131 and the second row of contacts 231 are spaced apart from each other.
The connecting terminal of the embodiment is provided with two rows of contacts, namely the first row of contacts 131 and the second row of contacts 231, so that larger current can pass through the connecting terminal, the power is larger, and the application range is larger.
Specifically, the first row of contacts 131 is arranged in parallel with the second row of contacts 231. The first conductive connection portion 13 and the second conductive connection portion 23 each have four elastic pieces, which are partially bent to form four sub-contacts, which are arranged in a row.
In the embodiment, the first holding portion 12 and the second holding portion 22 are disposed in parallel, and the first holding portion 12 and the second holding portion 22 are pressed together and connected by pressing, which is simple and fast.
In the present embodiment, one of the first holding portion 12 and the second holding portion 22 is provided with a through hole, and the other is provided with a protrusion 24, and the protrusion 24 is mounted in the through hole by pressing. The connection structure of the first holding part 12 and the second holding part 22 of the present embodiment is simple and the connection efficiency is high. Specifically, the second holding portion 22 may be provided with a protrusion 24, and the first holding portion 12 may be provided with a through hole. The size of the protrusion 24 is slightly larger than the through hole, so that the protrusion 24 is reliably fixed in the through hole after pressing. In order to further increase the reliability of the press-fit connection, the number of the projections 24 may be two, and accordingly, the number of the through holes is also two.
In the present embodiment, the first conductive connection portion 13 is partially bent to form the first row of contacts 131 at the bent portion. The second conductive connection portion 23 is partially bent to form the second row of contacts 231 at the bent portion. The present embodiment is simple in the manner of forming the first and second rows of contacts 131 and 231. Further, the first row of contacts 131 and the second row of contacts 231 are the same height. The subcontacts of the first row of contacts 131 and the second row of contacts 231 may be planar or curved. For example, the sub-contacts of the first row of contacts 131 are curved surfaces and the sub-contacts of the second row of contacts 231 are flat surfaces.
In the present embodiment, the first conductive connection portion 13 and the second conductive connection portion 23 are bent in opposite directions. The first conductive connecting portion 13 and the second conductive connecting portion 23 of the present embodiment have opposite bending directions, which is beneficial to form the first row of contacts 131 and the second row of contacts 231 which are oppositely arranged, and occupy a small space.
In the present embodiment, the first conductive connection portion 13 has the first straight portion 132 and the first bent portion 133, and the second conductive connection portion 23 has the second straight portion 232 and the second bent portion 233. One end of the first straight portion 132 is connected to the first holding portion 12, and the other end is disposed away from the second straight portion 232 in an inclined manner, so as to save the occupied space and facilitate the connection between the first holding portion 12 and the second holding portion 22.
Further, in the present embodiment, the first row of contacts 131 is located at the first bent portion 133, the second row of contacts 231 is located at the second bent portion 233, and both the first bent portion 133 and the second bent portion 233 are bent toward the second straight portion 232. The connecting terminal of the embodiment occupies a small space and saves materials.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the housing 40 includes a casing 42 and a substrate 41 located in an inner cavity of the casing 42. One side surface of the housing 42 is opened so that the first conductive connecting portion 13 and the second conductive connecting portion 23 of the first connecting terminal 100a and the second connecting terminal 100b can be contacted by the conductive contacts of the wires. The housing 42 and the substrate 41 each have a hole through which the first and second fillets 11, 21 pass. The first solder tail 11 and the second solder tail 21 are partially located outside the housing 42.
In the present embodiment, two opposite inner walls of the housing 40 parallel to the first holding portion 12 respectively limit the first holding portion 12 of each set of two connection terminals. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the top wall of the housing 42 of the housing 40 limits the second holding portion 22 of the second connection terminal 100b upward. The bottom wall of the housing 42 limits the position of the second holding portion 22 of the first connection terminal 100a, and the limiting structure is simple.
In the present embodiment, at least two different connection terminals are mounted on the housing 40. Specifically, fig. 6 is an exploded view of the connector assembly of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, the conventional connection terminal 1 is mounted in the housing 40 as well as the connection terminal of the present embodiment. The two existing connecting terminals 1 form a group, and a plugging space 2 is formed between a row of contacts 11 of the two connecting terminals 1 of the group for inserting conductive contacts of a wire. For example, the connector assembly of the present embodiment has five connection terminals of the present embodiment and two existing connection terminals 1 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the housing 40.
The connector assembly of the present embodiment may also be mounted with three or more kinds of connection terminals. The connector assembly of the present embodiment is a multifunctional connector assembly.
