Electrical connector with high tracking resistance index
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003050B2) discloses an electrical connector with unique features aimed at enhancing safety and performance. The connector body includes accommodations with front portions for electrical connecting organs and electrical insulating means made of material with a high tracking resistance index. These insulating means extend over and surround the internal sections of the connecting organs, providing a protective barrier between the inner and outer surfaces. The insulating material is more rigid than the connector body, ensuring durability and reliability in various applications. Additionally, the insulating means can include coatings, linings, flexible sleeves, or insulating blocks to further enhance the protective properties of the connector.
Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of male and female electrical connectors within an electrical connecting device. The female connector body includes accommodations with front portions for female electrical connecting organs, similar to the male connector. Both male and female connectors feature insulating means with high tracking resistance, ensuring electrical safety and performance. The insulating means of the male connector surround and extend over the external sections of the male connecting organs, while maintaining electrical insulation continuity with the female connector's insulating means. This innovative design not only improves the safety and reliability of electrical connections but also ensures compatibility and seamless integration between male and female connectors within the electrical connecting device.
