  • Publication number: 20240006828
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed and includes a housing base, a conductive terminal, a signal terminal and a protrusion. A sleeve of an electronic device end sleeves on the housing base through an opening end along a first direction and slides a first displacement distance, plural contact pins of the electronic device end slide into the accommodation space through the opening end, and a conductive contact pin of the electronic device end is interfered with the conductive terminal to form an electrical connection. The protrusion is elastically connected to the housing base and penetrates through the housing base. When the sleeve passes through the opening end and slides a second displacement distance greater than the first displacement distance, the protrusion is interfered with the sleeve and drives the signal terminal, so that the signal terminal pushes against a signal contact pin of the electronic device end to form an electrical connection.
