Electrical connector
View Patent ↗An electrical connector is disclosed having a terminal housing and a female type terminal positioned in the terminal housing. The terminal housing has a first terminal housing, and a second terminal housing positioned independent from the first terminal housing. The female type terminal has a first female terminal, second female terminal, and a coupling member. The first female terminal is positioned in the first terminal housing and is electrically connected to a first male terminal. The second female terminal is positioned in the second terminal housing and is electrically connected to a second male terminal. The coupling member connects the first female terminal to the second female terminal.
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a terminal housing having a first terminal housing, and a second terminal housing positioned independent from the first terminal housing;
a female type terminal positioned in the terminal housing, and having a first female terminal positioned in the first terminal housing and being electrically connected to a first male terminal, a second female terminal positioned in the second terminal housing and being electrically connected to a second male terminal, and a coupling member connecting the first female terminal to the second female terminal; and
a shell having an assembly receiving space, the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing disposed in the assembly receiving space.
2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of the female type terminals positioned in a row in the terminal housing.
3. The electrical connector according to claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of the first female terminals.
4. The electrical connector according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of the second female terminals.
5. The electrical connector according to claim 4 , wherein an integrally molded first terminal housing holds the plurality of first female terminals collectively.
6. The electrical connector according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of individually molded second terminal housings hold the plurality of second female terminals.
7. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal housing has first terminal receiving space into which the first female terminal is positioned.
8. The electrical connector according to claim 7 , wherein the first terminal housing further includes a second terminal housing receiving space positioned adjacent to the first terminal receiving space and into which the second terminal housing is positioned.
9. The electrical connector according to claim 8 , wherein the second terminal housing holds the second female terminal in the second terminal housing receiving space of the first terminal housing.
10. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first male terminal and the second male terminal are disposed along the same direction in the interior of the housing.
11. The electrical connector according to claim 10 , wherein the first male terminal and the second male terminal are independently displaceable with respect to each other.
12. The electrical connector according to claim 10 , wherein the first male terminal and the second male terminal have independent vibrational modes.
13. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal housing is connected to the shell.
14. The electrical connector according to claim 9 , further comprising an upper housing having a receiving opening.
15. The electrical connector according to claim 14 , wherein the upper housing is connected to the first terminal housing.
16. The electrical connector according to claim 15 , wherein the upper housing covers the first terminal receiving space and the second terminal housing receiving space.
