Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulation main body and a plurality of conductive terminals. The insulation main body is formed with a tongue. The tongue is formed with a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Each of the conductive terminals is installed in the tongue. Each of the conductive terminals is formed with a first contact part, a second contact part and a solder part. The first contact part is exposed on the first surface, and the second contact part is exposed on the second surface. The solder part is vertically connected to the first contact part or the second contact part and protruded out of the tongue. Accordingly, the electrical connector complying with the USB Type-C specification, allowing conductive terminals having the same definitions to be integrated and being specially used for power delivery is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical connector, including:
an insulation main body, formed with a tongue, wherein the tongue is formed with a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and
a plurality of conductive terminals, installed in the tongue, wherein each of the conductive terminals is formed with a first contact part, a second contact part and a solder part, the first contact part is exposed on the first surface, the second contact part is exposed on the second surface, and the solder part is vertically connected to the first contact part or the second contact part and protruded out of the tongue.

2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , further including a metal enclosure served to enclose the insulation main body, so an insertion space is formed between the metal enclosure and the tongue; the metal enclosure is formed with a plurality of positioning sheets, and an extending direction of each of the positioning sheets is parallel to an extending direction of each of the solder parts.

3. The electrical connector according to claim 2 , further including an insulation housing covering the metal enclosure.

4. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the quantity of the conductive terminals is five, and the telecommunication definition of each of the conductive terminals is respectively defined as GRD (ground), Vbus (voltage bus), CC1/CC2 (configuration channel), Vbus and GND.

5. The electrical connector according to claim 4 , wherein the configuration channel terminal further includes a fasten part, the fasten part is respectively connected to the first contact part and the second contact part, and the first contact part and the second contact part are staggeringly arranged.

6. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation main body further includes a plurality of partition pieces and a plurality of recesses, each of the partition pieces and each of the recesses are adjacently arranged, each of the solder parts is positioned in each of the recesses, and each of the partition pieces is served to separate each of the solder parts.

7. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact part and the second contact part are arranged in parallel and corresponding to each other, and the first contact part and the second contact part are integrally formed with the solder part.

8. The electrical connector according to claim 7 , wherein each of the conductive terminals further includes a connection part and a convex part, the convex part is formed at the front edge of the connection part, the connection part is respectively connected to the first contact part and the second contact part, and the solder part is connected to the first contact part or the second contact part.

9. The electrical connector according to claim 7 , wherein the solder part is further connected to the first contact part and the second contact part.

10. The electrical connector according to claim 8 , wherein the interior of the tongue of the insulation main body is further formed with a positioning slot allowing the convex part to be positioned.
