Abstract

A splice connector, comprising a connector body and a connecting component connected with the connector body by plug joint. The connector body comprises a shell, a magnetic component arranged in an inside of the shell and configured for magnetic attraction, and a conductive component embedded on the shell. The shell comprises an abutting surface, two end surfaces vertical to the abutting surface, a positioning component arranged on the abutting surface and for positioning while abutting with other connectors, a first jack and a second jack respectively opened on the two end surfaces. The connecting component is electrically connected to the conductive component via the first jack and second jack.

Claims (12)
