In other words, in the above terminal 2a, for example, in the above terminal 2a, the contact portion 202 of the first terminal unit and the contact portion 202 of the second terminal unit may have a certain positional deviation or a misalignment in the height direction, so long as the contact portion 202 in the upper terminal 2a can be stably connected in contact with the same side of the mating element when the contact portion is mated with the mating element, that is, the contact portion 202 is on the same horizontal plane in the height direction when the contact portion is mated with the mating element.
As shown in fig. 7, in the upper terminal 2a and the lower terminal 2b, the holding portion 201 of the second terminal unit is disposed closer to the horizontal center plane of the docking space 120 than the holding portion 201 of the first terminal unit, and the number of bending times between the holding portion 201 and the contact portion 202 in the second terminal unit is larger than the number of bending times between the holding portion 201 and the contact portion 202 in the first terminal unit.
In the present embodiment, the upper terminal 2a and the lower terminal 2b have two terminal units, that is, only the first terminal unit and the second terminal unit are included, and in this embodiment, each terminal unit has a plurality of contact portions 202 formed by extending forward from one end of the holding portion 201 and a plurality of welding portions 203 formed by extending from the other end of the holding portion 201, and the plurality of contact portions 202 of the two terminal units are alternately and circularly arranged along the transverse direction.
In addition, in terms of usage habit or naming habit, each terminal unit may be regarded as one power terminal 21, and in this case, the upper terminal 2a and the lower terminal 2b may be referred to as one terminal group, in each terminal group, the power terminal of the holding portion 201 located at the upper side is a first power terminal, the power terminal of the holding portion 201 located at the lower side is a second power terminal, and the contact portions 202 of the first power terminal and the second power terminal are arranged in the lateral direction of the insulating body 1 so as to contact with the same side of the butt element. That is, the first terminal unit of the upper terminal 2a may be referred to as a first power terminal and the second terminal unit may be referred to as a second power terminal, and the second terminal unit of the lower terminal 2b may be referred to as a first power terminal and the first terminal unit may be referred to as a second unit terminal. In the height direction of the insulating body 1, projections of the holding portion 201 of the first power supply terminal and the holding portion 201 of the second power supply terminal on a horizontal plane overlap.
The upper terminals 2a and the lower terminals 2b are arranged in pairs in the height direction, and are arranged opposite to and at intervals. The solder portion 203 of the upper terminal 2a is located behind the second mounting surface 112 in the front-rear direction, and the solder portion 203 of the lower terminal 2b is located between the second mounting surface 112 and the third mounting surface 113.
In this embodiment, each power terminal 21 has three contact portions 202 formed by extending forward from its holding portion 201, the holding portion 201 is of a sheet-like structure parallel to the horizontal plane, the contact portions 202 are curved, and have contact regions 2020 protruding toward the partition wall 15.
The contact portions 202 of the power terminal pairs 2 in the same row are arranged in two rows offset in the front-rear direction. At the same time, the contact areas 2020 of the contact portions 202 of the power terminal pairs 2 located in the same row are at or substantially on the same horizontal plane. Further, two contact portions 202 located adjacent in the same row are disposed offset in the front-rear direction. That is, in the present invention, the contact portion 202 of the first terminal unit and the contact portion 202 of the second terminal unit are arranged in a front-rear offset manner in the upper terminal 2a, and the contact portion 202 of the first terminal unit and the contact portion 202 of the second terminal unit are arranged in a front-rear offset manner in the lower terminal 2 b. In this way, when the docking element is inserted, the contact portions 202 staggered in two rows along the front-rear direction can be contacted with the docking element respectively, so as to realize multi-level and multi-contact, so that the contact is more sufficient, the stability of the electrical connection and the stability of current transmission are enhanced, and the insertion and extraction force between the docking element and the docking element is distributed uniformly, and the heating value of the contact surface is reduced.
Referring to fig. 6 to 8, since the holding portion 201 of the second terminal unit is disposed closer to the horizontal center plane of the docking space 120 than the holding portion 201 of the first terminal unit, the first terminal unit is regarded as an outer terminal 211 and the second terminal unit is regarded as an inner terminal 212 among the upper terminal 2a and the lower terminal 2 b. Wherein the holding portion 201 and the contact portion 202 of the inner terminal 212 are closer to the partition wall 15 of the insulating body 1, i.e., closer to the horizontal center plane of the docking space 120, than the outer terminal 211. The contact portion 202 of the outer terminal 211 is disposed farther forward than the contact portion 202 of the inner terminal 212 in the front-rear direction. The contact portion 202 of the outer terminal 211 contacts the mating element first, and the contact portion 202 of the inner terminal 212 contacts the mating element later, so as to reduce the insertion force, make the insertion feel better, and avoid the deformation and failure of the elastic contact arm after long-term insertion and extraction, thereby ensuring long-term electrical connection.
In the upper terminal 2a, the holding portions 201 of the first terminal unit and the holding portions 201 of the second terminal unit are arranged at intervals along the height direction, and are mounted and fixed in the same first terminal slot 13 from the rear side of the base 11 forward, and the holding portions of the first terminal unit and the second terminal unit in the lower terminal 2b are arranged identically to the holding portions 201 in the upper terminal 2 a.

In this embodiment, the inner end 212 further has a connecting arm 205 connecting the contact arm 204 thereof with the holding portion 201, and the connecting arm 205 is opposite to the bending extending direction of the contact arm 204 so that the angle therebetween is opened inward (i.e., toward the partition wall 15).
Specifically, for example, the connection arm 205 is bent and extended forward and upward from the front end of the holding portion 201, and the contact arm 204 is bent and extended forward and downward from the front end of the connection arm 205, so that the opening of the included angle between the contact arm 204 and the connection arm 205 is downward. Further, the two holding portions 201 of the upper terminal 2a and the portion located at the front side of the holding portion 201 (including the plurality of contact arms 204, the connecting arm 205 and the contact portion 202) are disposed in mirror symmetry with the two holding portions 201 of the lower terminal 2b and the portion located at the front side of the holding portion 201.
