In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional Type-C connector, the applicant of the present invention is based on practical experience and professional knowledge that is abundant over many years in the design and manufacture of such a Type of product, and uses the study and study to develop a technology capable of solving the drawbacks of the conventional Type-C connector, so as to make the Type-C connector more practical. After continuous research and design and repeated trial production and improvement, the utility model with practical value is finally created.

Referring to fig. 1-2, an embodiment of the utility model provides a novel Type-C connector, including an insulating housing 1, a housing 2 covering the insulating housing 1, and a plurality of connection terminals embedded in the insulating housing 1; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the head portions of the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8 are respectively bent to form butting portions 9, as shown in fig. 3.

It should be noted that, different from the tearing and forming manner in the prior art, the design of the butting portion in the embodiment is formed by bending the heads of the first ground terminal and the second ground terminal respectively, and this forming manner not only reduces the waste of materials and saves the manufacturing cost, but also improves the butting strength and reduces the maintenance frequency, thereby reducing the investment of the maintenance cost and being beneficial to the management and control of the cost.

In this embodiment, the free end of the abutment 9 is provided with an integral catch 10, as shown in figure 3.

Preferably, the integral hook 10 is integrally formed on the head portions of the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8, specifically on the free end of the butting portion 9.

There may be two specific arrangements of the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8, and these two arrangements are illustrated in the following in this embodiment;

the first setting mode is as follows: the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8 are bent in the same direction.

At this time, the integral hook 10 on the head of the first ground terminal 3 is formed by bending the free end of the butting portion 9 on the head of the first ground terminal 3 in one direction to reach a specified position; the integral hook 10 on the head of the second ground terminal 8 is formed by bending the free end of the butting portion 9 on the head of the second ground terminal 8 in the same direction as the first ground terminal 3 to a specified position.

The second setting mode is as follows: the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8 are bent in opposite directions.

At this time, the integral hook 10 on the head of the first ground terminal 3 is formed by bending the free end of the butting portion 9 on the head of the first ground terminal 3 in one direction to reach a specified position; the integral hook 10 on the head of the second ground terminal 8 is formed by bending the free end of the butting portion 9 on the head of the second ground terminal 8 in the direction opposite to the first ground terminal 3 to a specified position.

In this embodiment, the integrated hook 10 is provided with an extending portion 11 extending to the tail direction of the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8, as shown in fig. 4.

It should be noted that the extension portion 11 may be designed such that the grounding lengths of the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8 are a little longer. Of course, the grounding lengths of the first grounding terminal 3 and the second grounding terminal 8 are more, less or not only, and whether the extension portion 11 is provided or not can be selected according to actual needs.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, the first ground terminal 3 and the second ground terminal 8 are located on different planes.

Preferably, the first power terminal 4 and the second signal terminal 6 are located in a plane in which the first ground terminal 3 is located.

The first signal terminal 5 and the second power terminal 7 are located on a plane where the second ground terminal 8 is located.
