[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a connection structure necessary for transmitting an external signal of a PCMCIA ｛Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (Personal Computer Memory Card Association)｝ card, and the connector is inserted into a PCMCIA card at one end. It consists of two independent connection cords connected to a plug and transmitted by a PCMCIA card, and a jack connected to the end of the connection cord. This not only improves the traditional connector with only a single communication function, but also reduces costs by reducing the number of jacks in laptops with space limitations. It enhances the convenience and portability for users.

[Prior art]

 PCMCIA cards used in current notebook PCs are classified into those with a single function and those with a combined function to be connected to a modem and a network. FIG. 1 shows a plan view and a side view of a single function PCMCIA card 10 and a traditional connector 20. The connector 20 comprises a plug 21, a connection cord 22 and a jack 23, which connects to a network card, thereby becoming the only single-function connector 20. FIG. 2 shows a plan view and a side view of the PCMCIA card 10 and the connector 20 'connected to the modem, and the jack 23' connected to the connection cord 22 'is inserted into the jack of the modem. In the figure, 21 'indicates insertion. FIG. 3 shows the composite connector 30 of the PCMCIA card 10 'equipped with a modem, and FIG. 4 shows the composite connector 30' of the PCMCIA card 10 "equipped with a network function. Can be directly connected to a telephone line, and the latter jack 33 'can be connected to a network.In FIGS. 3 and 4, 31 and 31' are plugged in, and 32 and 32 'are connection cords. Show.

Since the connectors shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are all one-to-one connections, when changing to a communication device having a different function, the connectors must also be replaced in accordance with the standard. Not only is it inconvenient for the user to operate and carry, but also the connection equipment can be damaged due to misconnection of the connector, so the related company has developed a two-to-two connector 40 (Fig. 5). ing. As shown in FIG. 5, the connector 40 has modem and network functions provided on a PCMCIA card main body 50. The main body 50 has two jacks 51 and 52, and the two connectors 40 and 40 'are inserted. 41, 41 'are inserted, and jacks 43, 43' are provided at the ends of 42, 42 'to which the plugs 41, 41' are connected, respectively, and are connected to a modem and a network. Although the above-mentioned independent separated connectors 40 and 40 'have the effect of being jointly usable, since the PCMCIA card main body 50 is provided with one more jack, it is necessary to change the structure space by increasing the number of jacks. Furthermore, since the cost increases with the increase in the number of connectors, the user must be extremely careful when connecting two sets of connectors.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The main purpose of the present invention is to omit the identification work for the user to insert the PCMCIA card, at the same time to reduce the cost and break through the traditional structure. The present invention is a structure of a connector applied to a PCMCIA card, especially a new structure capable of reducing the number of insertions and simultaneously connecting to two or more types of communication devices, and inserting a PCCMIA card into one insertion. For the insertion, two independent connection cords are connected in the outward direction, and jacks are provided at the ends of the two connection cords to insert communication products.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor devised a one-to-two connector by considering the connection work of the user and the convenience of carrying. In the present invention, two separate connection cords are provided in one plug, and an independent jack is provided at the end of the connection cord, and the two jacks simultaneously connect to the modem and the network.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 6 shows a plan view and a side view of a relatively preferred embodiment of the PCMCIA card transmission connector of the present invention. The connector 60 of the present invention is a connection device dedicated to the external communication of the PCMCIA card 70, and includes a plug 61. Outside the plug 61, an independent first connection cord 62 and a second connection cord 63 are provided respectively. And a first jack 64 and a second jack 65 are provided at the ends of the first connection cord 62 and the second connection cord 63, respectively. 65 is connected to the network, and when the user wants to attach this connector 60, it is only necessary to insert the insertion 61 into the PCMCIA card jack 71 on the PCMCIA card 70, thereby providing one-to-two multifunction transmission. Create an effect. The features of the one-to-two transmission connector 60 to be inserted into the PCMCIA card 70 of the present invention are as follows. (1) It reduces the user's insertion errors and eliminates the risk of damage to communication products connected to the PCMCIA card 70 using the connector 60. (2) When attaching the connector 60 of the present invention, the user inserts the insertion 61 into the jack 71 on the PCMCIA card, and then connects the first jack 64 and the second jack 65 of the connector 60 to the necessary communication products. This is very convenient because you only need to connect to the terminal and you do not need to worry about identifying whether the insertion is accurate. (3) The connector 60 inserted into the PCMCIA card 70 can be simplified to one plug-in 61 without changing the original size standard of the PCMCIA card 70 by increasing the number of connection codes for transmission. Thereby, the internal space of the PCMCIA card 70 is expanded, and the expansion space of the PCMCIA card 70 is provided. (4) The elaborate and simple structure of the connector 60 of the present invention not only enables cost reduction (reduction of the number of jacks 71 of the PCMCIA card 70 and the number of insertions 61 of the connector 60), but also makes it extremely portable. It is convenient.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 The PCMCIA card transmission connector of the present invention has the following effects. (1) There is no risk of damage to communication products connected to the PCMCIA card to reduce user insertion errors. (2) When mounting, there is no need to worry about whether the insertion is correct or not. (3) By increasing the number of connection cords for transmission, the connector 60 can be simplified to a single insertion without changing the original size standard of the PCMCIA card, thereby reducing the internal space of the PCMCIA card. Expand to provide an expanded space for PCMCIA cards. (4) The elaborate and simple structure of the connector of the present invention not only enables cost reduction but also makes it very convenient to carry.
