Background

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is a standard input/output interface, and is widely used in the design of many electronic devices. In 1994, the USB association (USB-IF) was established by a union of many world-wide computer and communication companies, and the USB specification was initially established. The USB association has released versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 so far, and the aforementioned versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 support the following three signal transmission rates, respectively: (1) the low-speed mode transmission rate is 1.5 Mbit per second, and the low-speed mode transmission rate is mainly used for a mouse and a keyboard; (2) a full-speed mode transmission rate of 12 megabits per second; (3) the high speed mode transmission rate is 480 megabits per second. The version 3.0 is an overspeed mode with a transmission rate of 640 megabits per second, and a plurality of electronic products adopt a USB3.0 interface at present.

The conductive terminal in the USB plug comprises a power terminal, a differential signal terminal, a grounding terminal and the like, the grounding terminal is electrically conducted with the metal shell of the USB plug, and the traditional mode is that the electric conduction is realized by weaving an outer bare grounding wire and then turning over and riveting an iron shell. This method is labor intensive, costly, and not conducive to the compact size of the USB plug.

Therefore, a connector is needed to solve the above technical problems.

The connecting piece 31 is disposed at the notch. The connecting piece 31 is formed integrally with the metal shell 3 by a stamping and bending process. The connecting piece 31 includes a first abutting portion 311 and a connecting portion 312 connecting the first abutting portion 311 and the metal shell 3. The connection portion 312 is a portion of the connection piece 31 that is bent by 90 ° toward the inside of the metal case 3 as a whole, and the first contact portion 311 is a portion of the connection piece 31 that is bent by 90 ° toward the outside at the end thereof. The first abutting portion 311 can increase the contact area with the ground terminal 21, facilitate the fixed connection therebetween, and ensure the electrical conductivity therebetween. In order to facilitate connection with the first contact portion 311, the end of the ground terminal 21 where the welding portion 212 is provided branches into a second contact portion 211 (specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4), the second contact portion 211 is located at the edge of the first insulating block 11, and the connecting piece 31 is bent inward, i.e., can contact the second contact portion 211. The second abutting portion 211 and the soldering portion 212 of the ground terminal 21 are arranged at an interval, and the first abutting portion 311 and the second abutting portion 211 are arranged at an interval, so that when the first abutting portion 311 and the second abutting portion 211 are connected, the connection between the soldering portion 212 of the ground terminal 21 and the PCB board or the lead wire is not damaged, and the connection between the first abutting portion 311 and the second abutting portion 211 is not affected by the connection between the soldering portion 212 of the ground terminal 21 and the PCB board or the lead wire.
