  • Publication number: 20190214767
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes an insulated housing, contact terminals held in the insulated housing, an outer shell covering the insulated housing, and hook members. First buckle structures are at side arms at two sides of the insulated housing. Each of the hook members includes a second buckle structure mating with the corresponding first buckle structure. The buckle structures are of crescent shapes and mated with each other. When the press portion of the hook member is pressed by an excessive force, the first/second buckle structure stops the second/first buckle structure to prevent the elastic arm of the hook member from deforming. When the elastic arm is bounced back excessively, the first/second buckle structure stops the second/first buckle structure to prevent the hook member from detaching off the side arm.

  • Publication number: 20190074616
    Abstract: An electrical plug connector has an insulated housing, two elastic buckle elements, multiple plug terminals, and a plug metallic shell. The insulated housing has a terminal portion and two connecting portions. The two elastic buckle elements are respectively mounted in receiving grooves of the two connecting portions of the insulated housing. Multiple plug terminals are arranged on the terminal portion of the insulated housing. An electrical receptacle connector is detachably connected with the electrical plug connector. The electrical receptacle connector has a receptacle insulated housing and multiple receptacle terminals.

  • Patent number: 10218134
    Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, a shielding plate, and a terminal organizer. The insulated housing is in the receptacle cavity of the metallic shell. The first receptacle terminals are assembled with the insulated housing. The second receptacle terminals are assembled with the terminal organizer. The insulated housing and the terminal organizer are assembled with each other. The shielding plate is between the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals. The terminal organizer extends the fixation portion attaching to the front portions of the second receptacle terminals, so that the front portions of the second receptacle terminals are securely held on the tongue portion. Therefore, when the terminal organizer is deformed due to heating, the front portions of the second receptacle terminals can be still fixed on the tongue portion without being deflected upwardly.

  • Patent number: 10084270
    Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell and one or more insertion modules. The metallic shell includes two first walls, two second walls, and several protrusions. The walls form an insertion space. The protrusions are extending toward the insertion space from the first walls, and the protrusions are integrally formed on the first walls seamlessly. The insertion module includes an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, and a grounding plate between the first receptacle terminals and the second receptacle terminals. When the electrical receptacle connector is mated with an electrical plug connector, the protrusions are in contact with a metallic shell of the electrical plug connector. Because the walls of the metallic shell are seamless, the connector assembly of the plug and receptacle can be waterproof.
