Illustratively, there are many types of insulating materials, such as gum, ceramic. Therefore, the specific materials of the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 are not limited in this embodiment.

In addition, in the process of inserting the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200, the abutting limit of the plurality of positioning columns 110 and the plurality of corner positioning portions 210 is beneficial to adjusting the posture of the first connecting seat 100 and/or the second connecting seat 200, and limits the relative movement direction of the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200, so that the connection precision of the connecting terminal 500 in the first connecting seat 100 and the connecting terminal 500 in the second connecting seat 200 is beneficial, and the reliability of the electrical connection of the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200 is improved. Moreover, the posture of the first connection seat 100 and the second connection seat 200 in the plugging process is adjusted, so that the plugging direction deviation of the first connection seat 100 and the second connection seat 200 can be prevented, the deformation of the connection terminal 500 in the first connection seat 100 and/or the second connection seat 200 caused by the plugging direction deviation of the first connection seat 100 and the second connection seat 200 is avoided, and the purpose of protecting the connection terminal 500 in the first connection seat 100 and/or the second connection seat 200 is achieved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 6, in some alternative embodiments, the corner positioning portion 210 has a plurality of first positioning grooves 213, and the first positioning grooves 213 correspond to the positioning pillars 110 one to one. For example, in the case where the first and second connection holders 100 and 200 are connected, the corner positioning part 210 is embedded in the first positioning groove 213.

In the above embodiment, the first positioning groove 213 is disposed at the corner positioning portion 210, so that the positioning post 110 can be embedded in the first positioning groove 213, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the first connecting base 100. Also, it is advantageous to improve the flatness of the exterior of the first and second connector holders 100 and 200 after connection. This embodiment is beneficial for reducing the difficulty of arranging the electrical connector 700 in the electronic device in the case where the electrical connector 700 is used inside the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in some alternative embodiments, the first positioning groove 213 includes a first sub-groove 2131 and a second sub-groove 2132, the first sub-groove 2131 intersects the second sub-groove 2132, a groove wall of the first sub-groove 2131 forms the first side wall 211, and a groove wall of the second sub-groove 2132 forms the second side wall 212. When the first connecting holder 100 is connected to the second connecting holder 200, the first positioning sub-portion 111 is inserted into the first sub-groove 2131, and the second positioning sub-portion 112 is inserted into the second sub-groove 2132.

Illustratively, the first sub groove 2131 and the second sub groove 2132 are respectively disposed on two adjacent sidewalls of the corner of the second connection holder 200. Further optionally, the first sub-groove 2131 and the second sub-groove 2132 are perpendicular to each other, such that the groove wall of the first sub-groove 2131 forms the first side wall 211 and the groove wall of the second sub-groove 2132 forms the second side wall 212.

In the above embodiment, by providing the first sub-groove 2131 and the second sub-groove 2132, the protrusion of the positioning column 110 from the side wall of the second connecting seat 200 can be avoided, and the number of the surfaces of the positioning column 110 abutting against the second connecting seat 200 for limiting can be further increased, so as to further improve the stability of the cooperation between the positioning column 110 and the second connecting seat 200, avoid the relative shake between the first connecting seat 100 and the second connecting seat 200, and improve the reliability of the electrical connector 700.

Optionally, an included angle between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 is equal to an included angle between the first positioning sub-portion 111 and the second positioning sub-portion 112, so that the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 can be more reliably stopped and limited by the first positioning sub-portion 111 and the second positioning sub-portion 112, respectively.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 13, the electrical connector 700 described herein may be used for wire-to-board connections.

In a further alternative embodiment, the wire connecting seat has a wire connecting end 220, the wire connecting end 220 facing in the first direction. The extending direction of the positioning post 110 is a second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction. In some further preferred embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Illustratively, the first direction may be the direction of the x-axis shown in fig. 9 or 13. The second direction may be the direction of the z-axis shown in fig. 9. By way of example, the wire 300 may be a coaxial wire; sheet 400 may be a circuit board.

It should be noted that the hardness of the wire 300 is generally poor, and the acting force applied to the wire connecting seat after the wire connecting seat is connected to the wire 300 is generally the pulling force of the wire 300. Further, in the case where the electrical connector 700 is used to connect the wire 300 and the plate 400, the force applied to the electrical connector 700 is generally the extending direction of the wire 300. In the above embodiment, the wire connecting end 220 is used for connecting the wire 300, and the wire connecting end 220 faces a first direction, i.e. the extending direction of the wire 300 connected to the wire connecting seat is the first direction.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, the first direction intersects the second direction, which is beneficial to make the direction of the acting force of the wire 300 pulling the wire connecting seat intersect with the extending direction of the positioning post 110. The above embodiment is beneficial to prevent the positioning column 110 from abutting against the corner positioning portion 210 to generate an acting force for overcoming the pulling of the wire connecting seat, and is further beneficial to prevent the wire connecting seat and the plate connecting seat from loosening or falling off.

Referring to fig. 7-9, in some alternative embodiments, the wire connection mount has a wire groove 230 and a wire fixation groove 240. A plurality of connection terminals 500 are provided in the wire groove 230. The plurality of connection terminals 500 are arranged at intervals in the third direction; the wire 300 is disposed in the wire groove 230 along a first direction, and a third direction intersects the first direction. The wire fixing groove 240 penetrates a groove wall of the wire groove 230 in the third direction and communicates with the wire groove 230. For example, the groove depth direction of the wire groove 230 may be a thickness direction of the wire connecting seat. Specifically, the groove depth direction of the wire groove 230 may be the direction of the y-axis shown in fig. 9.
