1. A connector for matching and connecting with an electronic device end, wherein the electronic device end comprises a plurality of contact pins and a sleeve, the sleeve is configured to surround the plurality of contact pins, and the connector comprises:
a housing base, spatially corresponding to the plurality of contact pins and the sleeve of the electronic device end, wherein the housing base comprises an accommodation space and an opening end;
a conductive terminal disposed in the accommodation space along a first direction, and comprising a conductive elastic arm, wherein when the sleeve sleeves on the housing base through the opening end along the first direction and slides a first displacement distance, the plurality of contact pins are slid into the accommodation space through the opening end, and a conductive contact pin of the plurality of contact pins interferes with the conductive elastic arm to form an electrical connection;
a signal terminal disposed in the accommodation space along the first direction and comprising a signal elastic arm; and
a protrusion elastically connected to the housing base, penetrating through the housing base, and spatially corresponding to the signal elastic arm, wherein when the sleeve passes through the opening end along the first direction and slides a second displacement distance, the protrusion interferes with the sleeve and inwardly pushes the signal elastic arm, so that the signal elastic arm pushes against a signal contact pin of the plurality of contact pins to form an electrical connection, wherein the second displacement distance is greater than the first displacement distance.
