In the WTB connector provided in this embodiment, when the first contact end 212 of the first terminal 21 and the second contact end 222 of the second terminal 22 contact each other, the WTB connector is in a closed state, and can transmit electricity or signals; after the operating member 3 presses the pressing portion 223 to drive the second abutting end 222 to be away from the first abutting end 212, the WTB connector is in an open state, and the transmission of electricity or signals is disconnected. In both the closed and open states, the operating member 3 covers the pressing portion 223, so that the entire switch terminal assembly 2 is not exposed to the top and side surfaces of the body 1. Therefore, the WTB connector provided by the embodiment avoids the contact between the terminal and the foreign metal substance, eliminates the risk of short circuit, and improves the appearance.

In the present embodiment, the portion of the second terminal 22 is bent and projected toward the front end 10 to form the pressing portion 223.

Specifically, the operating member 3 includes a handle portion 31 and two adapter portions 32 respectively connected to two ends of the handle portion 31, wherein one ends of the two adapter portions 32 facing away from the handle portion 31 are both rotatably connected to the body 1, and the handle portion 31 is located at the front end 10 of the body 1. When the operating member 3 rotates, the pressing portion 223 moves toward the main body 1, so as to drive the second abutting end 222 to move away from the first abutting end 212. As shown in fig. 2, two opposite sides of the body 1 are provided with a connecting shaft 15, the two connecting shafts 15 share a center line, one end of each adapter portion 32, which is away from the handle portion 31, is provided with a connecting hole 322, and the two connecting shafts 15 are respectively rotatably inserted into the connecting holes 322 of the two adapter portions 32, i.e., the operating member 3 can rotate around the connecting shafts 15.

As shown in fig. 4, the surface of the handle 31 facing the front end 10 includes an inclined surface, and the inclined surface gradually presses the pressing portion 223 toward the inside of the body 1 when the handle 31 is pressed from top to bottom, so that the second abutting end 222 is away from the first abutting end 212.

More specifically, the surface of the front end 10 is a cylindrical curved surface, and the central axis of the cylindrical curved surface is collinear with the rotation axis of the adapter 32. In this embodiment, the central axis of the cylindrical curved surface is the connecting shaft 15. The arrangement can not only ensure the smooth rotation of the operating part 3, but also ensure the beautiful appearance.

The WTB connector provided in this embodiment further includes an elastic member 4, two ends of the elastic member 4 are respectively connected to the body 1 and the operating member 3, when the first abutting end 212 abuts against the second abutting end 222, the elastic member 4 is in a free state, and when the second abutting end 222 is far away from the first abutting end 212, the elastic member 4 is in a deformed state. In the process that the elastic element 4 is restored to the free state from the deformed state, the operating element 3 is driven to rotate up to the restoration position, the automatic restoration of the operating element 3 is realized, and at the moment, the second abutting end 222 restores the original shape and is abutted against the second abutting end 222 again.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the elastic member 4 may be a torsion spring provided at the connection of the connection shaft 15 and the connection hole 322.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in the embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a V-shaped elastic sheet, one side of the V-shaped elastic sheet is embedded in the main body 1, the other side of the V-shaped elastic sheet extends obliquely upwards around the connecting shaft 15, and two sides of the V-shaped elastic sheet are provided with connecting portions 41, correspondingly, the connecting portion 32 is provided with a connecting groove 321, and the connecting portion 41 is inserted into the connecting groove 321, so as to connect the elastic element 4 and the operating element 3.

The WTB connector provided by this embodiment further includes a plurality of pins 5, one end of each pin 5 is located in the body 1, and the other end of each pin 5 extends out from the bottom. In the present embodiment, the leads 5 are integrally formed with the elastic member 4.

As shown in fig. 6, the bottom of the body 1 has a symmetry plane about which the plurality of leads 5 are symmetrically arranged. The connector is evenly stressed by the arrangement, and single-side deflection is avoided.

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the body 1 is provided with a first slot 11 and a second slot 12 which are spaced from each other, the first slot 11 and the second slot 12 both penetrate through the top and the bottom of the body 1, the first terminal 21 penetrates through the first slot 11, the first end 211 penetrates out of the first slot 11 from the bottom, the second end 221 penetrates out of the second slot 12 from the bottom, and the second abutting end 222 penetrates out of the second slot 12 from the top and bends to extend into the first slot 11. This arrangement allows the switch terminal assembly 2 to be installed into the body 1 from the top to the bottom, and when the handle portion 31 of the operating member 3 is subjected to an upward force, the body 1 is not separated from the switch terminal assembly 2 by being pushed up against the body 1, thereby improving the firmness of the overall structure of the connector.

Specifically, a pressing opening 16 communicating with the surface of the front end 10 is opened on a side wall of the first slot 11, and the pressing portion 223 extends out of the front end 10 through the pressing opening 16. The switch terminal assembly 2 includes a plurality of first terminals 21 and a same number of second terminals 22 as the first terminals 21, and in the present embodiment, three first terminals 21 and three second terminals 22 are provided.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the width of the first end 211 of the first terminal 21 is smaller than the width of the first abutting end 212, and accordingly, the width of the bottom end of the first slot 11 is smaller than the width of the top end, so that when the handle portion 31 pushes the body 1 upwards, the body 1 simultaneously exerts an upward force on the first terminal 21, and therefore, the phenomenon that the body 1 is forced to be separated from the switch terminal assembly 2 when the handle portion 31 receives an upward force is further avoided. Similarly, as shown in fig. 10, the width of the second end 221 of the second terminal 22 is smaller than that of the second abutting end 222, and the width of the bottom end of the second slot 12 is smaller than that of the top end, so as to prevent the handle portion 31 from being forced to separate the main body 1 from the switch terminal assembly 2.

The WTB connector provided by this embodiment further includes a top cover 6, where the top cover 6 is disposed on the top of the body 1 and covers the first slot 11 and the second slot 12. The top cover 6 fixes the switch terminal assembly 2 to the body 1.

Optionally, one of the top cover 6 and the body 1 is provided with a clamping head 61, the other is provided with a clamping groove 13, and the clamping head 61 is clamped in the clamping groove 13. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the top cover 6 is provided with a clamping head 61, the body 1 is provided with a clamping groove 13, and the top cover 6 is firmly clamped on the body 1 by the cooperation of the clamping head 61 and the clamping groove 13.

Optionally, one of the top cover 6 and the body 1 is provided with a positioning column 62, the other is provided with a positioning hole 14, and the positioning column 62 is inserted into the positioning hole 14. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, two positioning columns 62 are arranged on the top cover 6, two positioning holes 14 are formed in the body 1, when the clamping head 61 is clamped in the clamping groove 13, the two positioning columns 62 are respectively inserted into the two positioning holes 14, and the top cover 6 and the body 1 are aligned by matching of the positioning columns 62 and the positioning holes 14.
