Abstract

An electrical connector comprises an insulating body, a pair of first terminal members, a pair of second terminal members, and a fastening part. The insulating body comprises a mating groove. The pair of first terminal members is disposed in the mating groove. Each of the first terminal members comprises a plurality of first elastic contacting parts. The pair of second terminal members is disposed in the mating groove. The pair of first terminal members is disposed between the pair of second terminal members. Each of the second terminal members comprises a plurality of second elastic contacting parts. The second elastic contacting part abuts against the first elastic contacting portion correspondingly. The fastening part fastens the pair of first terminal members and the pair of second terminal members.

Claims (21)

1. An electrical connector, comprising:

an insulating body comprising a mating groove;

a pair of first terminal members disposed in the mating groove, each of the first terminal members comprising a plurality of first elastic contacting parts;

a pair of second terminal members disposed in the mating groove, the pair of first terminal members disposed between the pair of second terminal members, each of the second terminal members comprising a plurality of second elastic contacting parts abutting against the plurality of first elastic contacting parts correspondingly; and

a fastening part fastening the pair of first terminal members and the pair of second terminal members;

wherein each of the first terminal members further comprises a first abutting part; the plurality of first elastic contacting parts is connected to the first abutting part; each of the second terminal members further comprises a second abutting part; the plurality of second elastic contacting parts is connected to the second abutting part; the second abutting part abuts against the first abutting part;

each of the first terminal members further comprises a first connecting part; the first connecting part and the first elastic contacting part are respectively connected to two opposite ends of the first abutting part; each of the second terminal members further comprises a second connecting part; the second connecting part and the second elastic contacting part are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the second abutting part; the fastening part fastens the first connecting part and the second connecting part;

each of the first terminal members further comprises a cable connecting part connected to the first connecting part; a cable is connected to the cable connecting parts of the pair of first terminal members; and

the electrical connector further comprises an annular securing member pressing the cable connecting parts.

2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , the fastening part comprises at least one fastener passing through the first connecting part and the second connecting part.

3. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the cable is clamped between the cable connecting parts of the pair of first terminal members.

4. The electrical connector according to claim 1 further comprising a cable connecting member; the first terminal member further comprises an extension part connected to the first connecting part the cable connecting member is connected to the corresponding extension part and a cable.

5. The electrical connector according to claim 4 , wherein the cable connecting member is bent-shaped; the extending direction of the pair of first terminal members intersects the extending direction of the cable.

6. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the second terminal members comprises at least one rib; the at least one rib is disposed on the second abutting part and protrudes toward the insulating body; the at least one rib abuts against a groove wall of the mating groove.

7. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the second terminal members comprises at least one elastic tab; the at least one elastic tab is disposed on the second abutting part and extends toward the insulating body comprising at least one buckling groove; the at least one elastic tab is buckled to the at least one buckling groove.

8. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first contacting parts is bent into a mesa shape; the first abutting parts of the pair of first terminal members are oppositely disposed.

9. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating body further comprises a stopping block supporting the pair of first terminal members; the stopping block tapers in a direction away from the mating groove; two sides of the stopping block respectively comprise inclined sidewalls adjacent to each of the groove walls.
