Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a connector conversion board used for connecting a main device and peripheral devices.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when a peripheral device such as a small computer system interface (SCSI) device is connected to a main device such as a small computer, the shape and position of the connector are different for each device, so that the specific device is limited by the main device. Either a SCI device was built in as I / O, or a device using a SCSI device was connected as an external I / O by a cable.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the past, the built-in SCSI device was limited by the main device, and the user could not freely select the peripheral device. In addition, the number of connecting cables also increases each time an external I / O is added, making the surroundings of the device complicated and impairing its aesthetic appearance.

The object of the present invention is to allow a user to freely select a built-in peripheral device when connecting the peripheral device to the main device, and also to connect a plurality of peripheral devices to an external device. It is to provide a connector conversion board that can be performed only with a cable.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The connector conversion board of this invention connects the first connector connected to the connector of the main device, the second connector connected to the connector of the peripheral device, and the first connector and the second connector. It is characterized by being integrally provided with a connecting portion.

[0006]

[Action]

 In this invention, the peripheral device is connected to the main device by connecting the connector of the main device and the first connector of the connector conversion board and connecting the connector of the peripheral device and the second connector of the connector conversion board. Built in. In addition, by connecting the unitized external I / O connector and the first connector of the connector conversion board, and connecting the peripheral device connector and the second connector of the connector conversion board, Multiple peripheral devices are connected to the main device via a single I / O cable.

【Example】

 1 (A) and 1 (B) are views showing a usage state of a connector conversion board according to an embodiment of the present invention. The connector conversion board 1 is composed of a male first connector 2, a female second connector 3, a connector 2 and a connector 3 on both sides, and a plate-like connecting portion 4 for connecting the two. Has been done. The connecting portion 4 electrically connects the corresponding terminals of the connector 2 and the connector 3, and even if the terminal positions of the connector 2 and the connector 3 are different, the connecting portion 4 is connected to the small computer 11 and the SCSI device 21 respectively. Swap the terminal positions so that signals can be matched between them. In this way, the first connector 2 of the connector conversion board 1 is connected so as to face the connector 12 of the small-sized computer 11, and the second connector 3 is connected so as to face the connector 22 of the SCSI device 21. The small computer 11 and the SCSI device 21 having different connector positions and shapes are electrically connected. At this time, the SCSI device 21 and the connector conversion board 1 are fixed by the fixing fitting 31 to form one unit 32.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for connecting the SCSI device 21 to the small computer 11. The unit 32, which is connected to the connector conversion board 1 and fixed by the fixing bracket 31, is built in the main body of the small computer 11 or connected to an external I / O unit and connected to the small computer 11 via the cable 41. To be done.

As described above, according to the present invention, it becomes possible to connect a main device and peripheral devices having different connector positions and shapes by a connector conversion board, and to incorporate the main device in the main device. By connecting the peripheral device to the unit, it is possible to connect a plurality of peripheral devices to the main device with only one cable.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 According to this invention, the peripheral device having different connector positions and shapes can be built in the main device, or a plurality of peripheral devices can be connected to the main device with only one cable. It is possible to select freely, and multiple cables do not spoil the aesthetics around the equipment.
