As shown in fig. 1, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a housing 1 (as shown in fig. 2 to 4) is provided, the housing 1 forms a front end portion 10 and a rear end portion 11, the front end portion 10 is provided with a terminal seat groove 12 to arrange the terminal seat 2 in the housing 1, a plurality of elastic buckles 13 are integrally formed at the rear end of the terminal seat groove 12, and an inner annular groove 120 (as shown in fig. 4E) is formed in the terminal seat groove 12 to ensure the arrangement and positioning of the terminal seat 2 (as shown in fig. 4E, 7 and 8). When the terminal base 2 is installed in the terminal base groove 12 in any direction, the elastic buckle 13 can be fastened to the rear side of the fastening ring 201 of the terminal base 2 (as shown in fig. 7 and 8), so as to completely position the terminal base 2 and ensure that the terminal base 2 does not fall out of the terminal base groove 12.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the rear end portion 11 of the housing 1 forms a large open surface at the rear side, and the rear end portion 11 is provided with at least one side slot 110, wherein the side slot 110 is formed by opening a side wall of the rear end portion 11 and can be located on a left side wall, a right side wall and a lower side wall of the rear end portion 11 (as shown in fig. 2 to 4); or a lower edge wall (as shown in fig. 4A); or the left side wall (as shown in fig. 4B); or the right wall (as shown in fig. 4C); or left and lower side walls (as shown in fig. 4D) to form at least one side slot 110, depending on the actual requirements. Of course, the connector is still maintained, and the signal cable is led out backwards, so that the installer can change the installation according to the use environment (as shown in fig. 16A-16C, 17A and 17B).

As shown in fig. 1, 5 and 6, the terminal base 2 has a front end 20 and a rear end 21, the front end 20 of the terminal base 2 can be positioned by being disposed in the inner annular groove 120 of the terminal base groove 12 of the housing 1 (as shown in fig. 7 and 8), and the elastic adjustment grooves 200 disposed on the front end 20 can generate a certain opening and closing elasticity when being plugged with an external connector, so that the two connectors plugged with each other can be more stable and are not easy to be removed. The front end 20 of the terminal base 2 is provided with an insulating element slot 22 therein, the insulating element slot 22 extends to the rear end 21 to facilitate the insulating element 3 to be arranged in the terminal base, and at least one guiding slot 23 is formed on the inner wall surface of the insulating element slot 22 at the rear end 21 of the terminal base 2. The adjacent guide grooves 23 of the plurality of guide grooves 23 are formed with a phase difference close to 90 degrees, but may be formed with a phase difference smaller than 90 degrees or larger than 90 degrees, depending on the actual use requirement. As for the phase difference between the adjacent guiding grooves 23, depending on the predetermined combination angle between the housing 1 and the terminal base 2, the present invention is explained by three different angles formed by the housing 1 and the terminal base 2, and the predetermined combination angles are about 90 degrees out of phase, so that the signal cable can be guided downward (as shown in fig. 9, 10, 16A, and 17A); or guiding the signal cable to the left (as shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 16B); or the signal cable is guided to the right (as shown in fig. 1314, 16C, and 17B), although the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned three angle-changing arrangement. The front end 20 of the terminal base 2 is provided with a fastening ring 201 for fastening the terminal base 2 in place in cooperation with the elastic fastener 13 of the housing 1 (as shown in fig. 7 and 8).

Which, as the invention is explained in the context of the T-like form. A side extension 24 is disposed at the rear end 21 of the terminal base 2, the inner side of the side extension 24 forms an arc body with a single side opening according to the shape of the signal cable 4, so as to correctly guide the direction of the signal cable, and the side extension 24 and the signal cable 4 are bound together by the binding element 40, so as to fix the signal cable 4.

As shown in fig. 1, 7-15, the insulating element 3 has a plurality of terminal slots 30 for respectively accommodating a terminal 31 in the terminal slots 30, and each terminal 31 is electrically connected to one of the

signal lines

4a, 4b, 4c and 4d of the signal cable 4. The surface of the insulating element 3 is provided with a guiding flange 32, and the guiding flange 32 is T-like to match the T-like structure of the guiding slot 23 of the terminal base 2 according to the present invention, so the terminal base is not limited to T-like, and can be I-like, L-like, or F-like, and can be combined with the insulating element and positioned according to the actual requirement.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the housing 1 and the terminal base 2 are coupled to each other in a predetermined direction and the side extension 24 of the rear end 21 of the terminal base 2 is in a downward state, the installer can maintain the

signal lines

4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d of the signal cable 4 at predetermined positions by simply coupling the guide flange 32 of the insulating member 3 and the guide groove 23a to each other.

As shown in fig. 11 and 12, when the housing 1 and the terminal base 2 are coupled to each other and coupled in a predetermined direction, and the side extension 24 of the rear end portion 21 of the terminal base 2 is left, an installer only needs to couple the guide flange 32 of the insulating element 3 and the guide groove 23b to each other, so that when the terminal base 2 is rotated 90 degrees to the left, the installation angle of the insulating element 3 is maintained, and the

signal lines

4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d of the signal cable 4 are maintained at predetermined positions.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, when the housing 1 and the terminal base 2 are coupled to each other and coupled in a predetermined direction and the side extension 24 of the rear end portion 21 of the terminal base 2 is in a state of being directed to the right, an installer only needs to couple the guide flange 32 of the insulating element 3 and the guide groove 23c to each other, so that when the terminal base 2 is rotated 90 degrees to the right, the installation angle of the insulating element 3 is maintained and the

signal lines

In summary, when the housing 1 and the terminal base 2 are combined with each other at various predetermined angles, the present invention can maintain the

signal lines

4a, 4b, 4c and 4d of the signal cable 4 at predetermined positions by changing the combination state of the terminal base 2 and the housing 1 without changing the installation angle of the insulating element 3, so as to ensure that the terminals of the insulating element are located at the predetermined positions of the connector, thereby ensuring the correctness of signal transmission.
