Abstract

A connector structure is provided. The connector structure includes an insulated housing and at least one terminal assembly. The terminal assembly includes an insulated shelter and at least one pins. The pins are connected to and penetrated through the insulated shelter. The pin includes a pin body and at least two protrusive portions. Each protrusive portion is connected to the pin body, and in a length direction of the pin body, the protrusive portions respectively extend corresponding contact portions. The contact portion is in contact with a corresponding signal pad of a circuit board, and the contact portions are at different positions of the signal pad. In additional, a terminal components of connector is also provided.

Claims (21)

1. A connector structure, comprising:

an insulated housing, including at least one receiving groove for receiving a daughter board, the daughter circuit board having a surface furnished thereon with a plurality of signal pads; and

at least one terminal assembly, each of the at least one terminal assembly being disposed at least partially within the insulated housing and including:

an insulated shelter; and

a plurality of pins, fixed to the insulated shelter, each of the plurality of pins including:

a pin body; and

at least two protrusive portions, connected individually with the pin body, each of the at least two protrusive portions having a contact portion to contact one of the plurality of signal pads on the daughter board, wherein the contact portions of each of the plurality of pins are contacted at the same signal pad corresponding thereto and are contacted at different positions on the same level surface of the same signal pad corresponding thereto.

2. The connector structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least two protrusive portions includes a bending portion and an end portion, the bending portion is connected between the pin body and the contact portion, and the contact portion is connected between the end portion and the bending portion.

3. The connector structure of claim 2 , wherein the end portion and the contact portion connected with the end portion are both lower than the pin body, and the end portion is higher than the contact portion.

4. The connector structure of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of pins includes an aperture formed between the at least two protrusive portions and disposed close to the pin body.

5. A terminal component of a connector, the connector being applied to mate with a daughter board, the daughter board having a surface furnished thereon with a plurality of signal pads, comprising:

an insulated shelter; and

a plurality of pins, fixed individually to the insulated shelter, each of the plurality of pins including:

a pin body; and

at least two protrusive portions, connected individually with the pin body, each of the at least two protrusive portions having a contact portion to contact one of the plurality of signal pads on the daughter board, wherein the contact portions of each of the plurality of pins are contacted at the same signal pad corresponding thereto and are contacted at different positions on the same level surface of the same signal pad corresponding thereto.

6. The terminal component of a connector of claim 5 , wherein each of the at least two protrusive portions includes a bending portion and an end portion, the bending portion is connected between the pin body and the contact portion, and the contact portion is connected between the end portion and the bending portion.

7. A terminal component of a connector, the connector being applied to match a complement connector, the complement connector having a surface furnished thereon with a plurality of signal pads, comprising:

an insulated shelter; and

a plurality of pins, fixed individually to the insulated shelter, each of the plurality of pins including:

a pin body; and

at least two protrusive portions, connected individually with the pin body, each of the at least two protrusive portions having a contact portion to contact one of the plurality of signal pads on the complement connector, wherein the contact portions of each of the plurality of pins are contacted at the same signal pad corresponding thereto and are contacted at different positions on the same level surface of the same signal pad corresponding thereto.
