- the two terminals By matching the guide flanges and the guide concave edges with each other, the two terminals will be guided to get combined. Furthermore, the plug inserts and the insertion pins will be inserted into the first sleeves and the second sleeves respectively, which strengthens the structure of the connector. Thus, the parts of the connector can be positioned well and the structure of the connector can be greatly strengthened.
- the types of the plug inserts and the insertion pins will be determined according to the desired function of the terminals. For example, the terminals may be used to transmit currents or act as elements for strengthening the structure of the whole connector. Thus, the type of the terminals can be accordingly varied in the production process of the connector.
