Multi-slot connector
A multi-slot connector and a manufacture method thereof are provided. The multi-slot connector includes a housing and a conducting structure. The conducting structure has a body and a terminal portion extending from the body. After extending out from the body, the terminal portion bends to form a first ridge. After bending the first ridge, the terminal portion turns to form a winding portion which winds back toward the body and bends to form a second ridge, wherein the first and second ridges protrude toward different directions. The housing has a first slot and a second slot. When the conducting structure is disposed in the housing, the first ridge and the second ridge are respectively corresponding to the first slot and the second slot.
1. A multi-slot connector, comprising:
a housing including a first slot and a second slot; and
a conducting structure disposed in the housing, including:
a body;
a terminal portion, the terminal portion extending from one end of the body and bending to form a first ridge, and the terminal portion turning to wind back or forward toward the body after the first ridge is formed and bending again to form a second ridge; and
a light tube clip end connected to the other end of the body opposite to the terminal portion;
wherein the first ridge and the second ridge protrude toward different directions and correspond to the first slot and the second slot, respectively.
2. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein an acute angle is included between the terminal portion and the body.
3. The multi-slot connector of claim 2 , wherein the bending direction of the first ridge is opposite to the bending direction of forming the acute angle.
4. The multi-slot connector of claim 2 , wherein the bending direction of the second ridge is opposite to the bending direction of forming the acute angle.
5. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein an obtuse angle is included between the terminal portion and the body.
6. The multi-slot connector of claim 5 , wherein the bending direction of the first ridge is the same as the bending direction of forming the obtuse angle.
7. The multi-slot connector of claim 5 , wherein the bending direction of the second ridge is the same as the bending direction of forming the obtuse angle.
8. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein the terminal portion has an open polygon cross-section, and the first ridge and the second ridge are disposed in the most protrusive places of the open polygon cross-section facing downwards or upwards.
9. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein the terminal portion has an open arch cross-section, and the first ridge and the second ridge are disposed at the most protrusive places facing downwards or upwards in the open arch cross-section.
10. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein the terminal portion includes a first terminal and a second terminal disposed in parallel and respectively connected to the body, and a gap is formed between the first terminal and the second terminal.
11. The multi-slot connector of claim 10 , wherein the terminal portion includes a bridging part connecting the first terminal and the second terminal.
12. The multi-slot connector of claim 1 , wherein the first ridge or the second ridge has a plurality of salient points.
13. A multi-slot connector, comprising:
a housing including a first slot and a second slot; and
a conducting structure disposed in the housing, including a body and a terminal portion, wherein an acute angle is included between the terminal portion and the body;
wherein the terminal portion extending from one end of the body and bending to form a first ridge, and the terminal portion turning to wind back toward the body after the first ridge is formed and bending again to form a second ridge; wherein the bending direction of the first ridge is opposite to the bending direction of forming the acute angle;
wherein the first ridge and the second ridge protrude toward different directions and correspond to the first slot and the second slot, respectively.
14. The multi-slot connector of claim 13 , wherein the terminal portion has an open polygon cross-section, and the first ridge and the second ridge are disposed in the most protrusive places of the open polygon cross-section facing downwards or upwards.
15. The multi-slot connector of claim 13 , wherein the terminal portion includes a first terminal and a second terminal disposed in parallel and respectively connected to the body, and a gap is formed between the first terminal and the second terminal.
16. The multi-slot connector of claim 15 , wherein the terminal portion includes a bridging part connecting the first terminal and the second terminal.
17. The multi-slot connector of claim 13 , wherein the first ridge or the second ridge has a plurality of salient points.
