Abstract
Abstract A mobile phone connector for connecting a DC charging plug ( 61 ) with a mobile phone has an insulating unit ( 1 ) and an integral enveloping unit ( 2 ) shielding the insulating unit therein. The insulating unit defines a plurality of terminal accommodating grooves ( 10 ) and contact point terminal accommodating grooves ( 11, 12 ). The insulating unit has a first charging terminal unit ( 13 ) and a second charging terminal unit ( 14 ) extending from an end of the first charging terminal unit. A pair of charging terminals ( 5 ) are respectively received in the first and the second charging terminal units. The enveloping unit, the first charging terminal unit and the second charging terminal unit defines a DC charging slot ( 16 ) for accommodating a portion of the DC charging plug. The second charging terminal unit is shorter than a transverse portion ( 130 ) of the first charging terminal unit for preventing misconnection of the mating external device with the mobile phone.
