Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a multiport network connector, and more particularly to a structure of a multiport network connector in which an LED indicator lamp is incorporated.

  RJ-45 connectors are often used as network connectors and are used for signal transfer. With the development of network technology, multi-port network connectors have been developed, allowing many users to connect to the network simultaneously, and allowing many computers to use a single network cable.

  A multi-port network connector allows multiple computers to use the network simultaneously with a single network cable. An indicator lamp is incorporated into each port of the multi-port network connector to confirm data transfer and network usage. An LED is often used as the indicator lamp, and the use state of the multi-port network connector can be confirmed by the LED color and the lighting state such as blinking.

  FIG. 1 shows an internal structure of a conventional multiport network connector, in which a porous pedestal 92 is provided in front of a plurality of transfer modules 91, and a signal transfer terminal 911 of each transfer module 91 is an insertion portion 921 of the porous pedestal 92.

  Further, the multiport network connector is configured by combining a number of transfer modules 91, and the porous pedestal 92 is formed of resin. Therefore, due to tolerances, a plurality of transfer modules and the resin plate 94 are separated. Assembly work is difficult.

  Further, it is necessary to fix the terminal 931 of the LED indicator lamp 93 by the resin plate 94. For the production of the resin plate 94, it is necessary to prepare a mold for molding, and the manufacturing cost is improved.

  Furthermore, although the resin plate 94 and the substrate 913 are partitioned by the film 95, there is a possibility that they are damaged by friction.
