Power supply connector
A power supply connector is provided, which is applicable to both large current charging and low current charging, the power supply connector being able to not only maintain the accuracy of monitoring low current charging and the volumetric efficiency of a board by appropriately arranging two types of connector parts, but also contribute to the downsizing of the power supply connector and improvement of the reliability thereof by striking a balance between the volumetric efficiency and the heat radiation characteristics, and ensure safety in the use of the power supply connector while reducing the cost. Insertion holes 4 and connector pins 2 that configure a large current charging connector part are disposed in the vicinity of both ends of the power supply connector 1 . There are disposed a plug insertion hole 9 and low current charging connector pins 11 that configure a low current charging connector part held between the insertion holes 4 and the connector pins 2.
1. A power supply connector in which a front surface part is provided with a plurality of insertion parts including a pair of large current charging insertion parts into which large current charging plugs are inserted, a rear surface part is provided with a plurality of connector pins including a pair of large current charging connector pins, and these connector pins are connected with a circuit board or a metal plate to form a large current charging connector part configured by the pair of large current charging insertion parts and the pair of large current charging connector pins, wherein:
the large current charging connector part is configured by two positionally divided sections, these divided sections are disposed and separated by a space such that one end of each of the divided sections is positioned in the vicinity of both ends of the front surface part, and a low current charging connector part is disposed in a position between these two divided sections, wherein:
the plurality of connector pins are each provided with a flat surface part that is in surface contact with the circuit board or the metal plate; and
the flat surface part is provided by forming the cross section of each of the connector pins into substantially semicircular.
