Description

2 in 1 Electronic Connector Header

technical field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of line connectors, in particular to a connector joint with two different protocols.

Background technique

Different electronic devices are usually connected by signal transmission lines to transmit signals to each other. Currently, signal transmission lines and electronic devices are mostly connected in a detachable manner through a connector on one end of the transmission line and a connector socket on the electronic device.

The most popular signal transmission specification for computer equipment today is Universal Serial Bus (USB, Universal Serial Bus). Connector sockets and transmission lines made of this specification can make peripheral equipment connected to the computer, such as mouse, drawing board and flash drive , external portable hard disk, etc., are measured by the computer in real time and can be used immediately without waiting for the computer to be restarted.

However, the amount of software data in computers is constantly increasing, and it can be several Gb at every turn. Correspondingly, mainstream hard drives also have up to hundreds of Gb to accommodate the increasing software data, so the existing USB2.0 is gradually not enough for high-traffic data transmission. Therefore, there is currently another plug-and-play transmission specification, Serial Advanced Attachment Technology (eSATA, External Serial ATA). The theoretical transmission value of this specification can reach 1.5Gbps, which is more beneficial to external hard drives and other high-speed peripherals than USB2.0. data transfer.

The above-mentioned USB and eSATA interfaces are not compatible, but the connector sockets and joints of the two are quite similar. As far as the connector is connected to the socket, both of them form a slot in a hollow shell, and the middle of the slot is There is a piece of insulating tongue protruding, and a plurality of metal terminals are arranged on the tongue; as far as the joint is concerned, both of them form a slot in a housing to accommodate the corresponding tongue, and on one of the inner walls of the slot A fixed piece is provided, and a plurality of metal terminals are arranged on the fixed piece to be in contact with the metal terminals on the tongue for signal transmission.

As far as notebook computers are concerned, most of them have USB connector sockets, and the USB interface is still widely used in various medium and low-speed peripheral transmissions in the short term without fear of disappearing. In response to the demand for high-traffic transmission, notebook computers will also be included in the future. eSATA connector socket, therefore, notebook computers in the near future will have connector sockets of the above two specifications at the same time. Each external peripheral device must be connected to a USB connector or an eSATA connector so as to be plugged into a connector socket of the same specification. As a result, the manufacturer must manufacture two types of connectors with different specifications, and then install them on external peripheral devices, which will increase the complexity of production management.

Furthermore, the user needs to choose to insert the connector head into a connector socket of the same specification, but if the connector socket has already been plugged and connected with another peripheral device of the same specification, at this time, the user can only choose to use one of them. One peripheral device cannot be used at the same time, and it is unplugged after use, and another connector joint is inserted for use, causing inconvenience to the user.

Utility model content

In order to improve the above shortcomings, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a two-in-one electronic connector joint, which is equipped with a USB terminal group and an eSATA terminal group on the same electronic connector joint, so that it can be inserted into any USB specification The connector socket and the eSATA connector socket achieve the purpose of convenient manufacturing and use.

Because the USB connector is thicker, and the width of the eSATA connector is wider, in order to meet the connector sockets of these two specifications at the same time, the design direction of the present invention is to take the height and width of the two connectors. The width value of the connector and the height value of the eSATA connector) are used as the designed connector size, and in order to make it stably plugged into the higher USB connector socket, the metal shell of the utility model connector is also specially designed for inserting cards .

The specific technical means to implement the above design concepts include:

An insulating fixing base, which is a rectangular frame body, the first half of which forms a forward-opening container, and a plurality of first terminal grooves and second terminal grooves are respectively formed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the container;

An eSATA terminal group is composed of a plurality of eSATA terminals, each eSATA terminal is respectively inserted into each first terminal slot, and the rear section of the eSATA terminal protrudes outside the insulating fixing seat;

A USB terminal group, which is composed of a plurality of USB terminals, each USB terminal is respectively inserted into each second terminal slot, and the rear section of the USB terminal protrudes outside the insulating fixing seat;

A metal shell, set on the outer peripheral wall of the insulating fixing base, the top peripheral wall is provided with a first elastic arm protruding outward and two slots located on the two sides of the first elastic arm, and the bottom peripheral wall of the metal casing is provided with a downward protruding The second elastic arm is protruding at the middle section of the metal shell, and the second elastic arm is provided with two slots at the protrusion.

After implementing above-mentioned technical means, the concrete benefit that the utility model can obtain is:

1. Since there are an eSATA terminal set and a USB terminal set inside the insulating fixing seat, they can be plugged into the eSATA connector socket or the USB connector socket accordingly, and the user can plug in the eSATA connector socket or the USB connector socket arbitrarily. That is, if the computer host only has a connector socket of a single specification, the peripheral devices provided with the present invention can be applicable.

2. If the host is originally equipped with eSATA connector socket and USB connector socket, but one of the connector sockets has been used for plugging, the peripheral device with the utility model can be used with another type of connector, and There is no need to unplug the previously plugged device.

3. For manufacturers, as long as they produce a single type of connector, they have two different specifications, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the production line and production control.
