Patent: Side-Mounted Pin Header Connector with Reinforcement Mechanism
A patent (CN224288639U) filed in May 2026 describes a side-mounted pin header connector with an innovative protective mechanism and reinforcement design to prevent disconnection during use .
Key Design Features:
Protective mechanism with hollow rod, telescopic rod, arc plate, and rubber pad with anti-slip patterns
Reinforcement mechanism symmetrically arranged on left and right sides of the connector body
First spring creates outward force between hollow rod and arc plate, increasing tightness of rubber pad fit
Anti-slip patterns increase friction with connecting pin surface
Benefits:
Prevents connecting pin from tilting outward during use
Extends service life of side-insertion pin connector
Improves connection tightness and prevents disconnection
This patent innovation addresses a common practical challenge in pin connector applications—ensuring reliable connections that resist vibration and repeated insertion/removal cycles
