The patent US12054060B2 describes a novel charging connector designed for electric vehicles, featuring a unique structure that enhances electrical connectivity and isolation. The connector comprises a base housing a first conductive terminal, which is tubular and includes both an upper and a lower cavity. The lower cavity is designed with a recessed surface to increase its internal diameter. An isolation member, shaped to fit the lower cavity, is integrated into the design, featuring coaxially recessed annular grooves on its upper surface. A second conductive terminal is positioned centrally within the isolation member, ensuring electrical isolation from the first terminal while allowing for effective connectivity through its upper and lower ends.

Further enhancements to the connector's design include a flexible contact member and a contacting spring housed within the second conductive terminal. The flexible contact member consists of multiple contacting reeds that create a contact point, facilitating reliable electrical connections. The contacting spring is strategically designed with a convergent portion to optimize its interaction with the flexible contact member. Additionally, the connector features connecting sheets that extend from the base, ensuring secure electrical connections while maintaining insulation. This innovative design aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of electric vehicle charging systems, addressing the growing demand for effective electric vehicle infrastructure.
