Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for coupling two different electrical connectors.
  • the known adapters include, for example, a USB-A inline connection, in which two USB sockets type A are soldered side by side on a printed circuit board.
  • an adapter with a type A USB socket and a type B USB socket in which the two sockets are likewise arranged again on a printed circuit board.
  • USB Universal Serial Bus
  • I / O bus The "Universal Serial Bus” (USB) is a 4-pin, standardized I / O bus that serves, among other things, as a serial interface for computer ports.
  • different plugs are provided, which includes in particular a wider type A connector and a smaller, approximately square type B connector.
  • the known adapters are, inter alia, associated with the disadvantage that they require a printed circuit board and are relatively complex in terms of both their structure and in terms of their installation.

  • the electrical contacts each have a cross-section which is at least substantially constant over their length, as a result of which, inter alia, an optimal data flow is ensured.
  • the two open ends of the electrically conductive cage may be provided on opposite sides of the cage or be offset relative to each other, for example, by 90 °, in the latter case, the electrical contacts are angled accordingly.
  • the adapter is provided with an outer housing.
  • This outer housing may in particular consist of plastic.
  • the adapter can be used in combination, in particular with different plastic outer housings at different locations, for example in a vehicle.
  • the adapter can be used in combination with various plastic outer housings at different locations, for example in a vehicle. It is also a variant with 90 ° offset open cage ends and corresponding angled contact pins, such as 0.64 mm pins, possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic exploded view of an exemplary embodiment of an adapter 10 according to the invention for coupling two different electrical connectors, which may be, for example, a USB connector, in particular of type A and an "Automotive High Speed" data connector.

  • the cage 12, the electrical contacts 14 and the insulating parts 16, 18 supporting them are designed so that in the region of the two open ends of the cage 12 there are different socket-like plug receptacles adapted to the respective plug.
  • a connector receptacle 20 for a USB connector in particular a USB connector type A
  • a female connector receptacle for a plug Data transmission system in particular high-speed data transmission system ("Automotive High Speed Data") formed.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the assembled adapter 10 according to FIG. 1 in two different perspective views. It is in the FIG. 2a ) to detect the open end of the cage 12, in the region of the plug receptacle 22 is formed for a connector of the data transmission system, in particular high-speed data transmission system. In contrast, in the FIG. 2b ) to detect the open end of the cage 12, in the area of the connector receptacle 20 for the USB connector, in particular USB connector type A, is formed. In this case, the insulating part 16 is arranged in the region of the formed socket-like plug receptacle for the USB plug and the insulating part 18 in the region of the formed plug receptacle 22 for the data transmission system.
