New description: [New technical field] This creation is about universal. This creation is about electrical connectors. In particular, the serial bus (USB) socket connector. [Prior Art] A universal serial bus (USB) socket connector is used in an electronic system such as a computer or an audiovisual device to provide an interface for communication with peripheral devices. In a particular application or electronic system, the space used to mount the (10) receptacle connector is very narrow, which may even be narrower than the standard size of the socket connector. In order to provide a USB interface connection in this narrow space, it is necessary to make substantial changes to the physical structure and size of the = standard USB socket connector. However, such changes may prevent the connector from being able to be mated with the corresponding standard plug and will also have to modify the plug connector, which may cause inconvenience in the use of such a sub-device. In addition, these dimensional changes can also degrade the electrical performance of the connector. This port provides a USB receptacle connector that is suitable for such narrow spaces of electronic devices without the need to modify the corresponding plug connector. [New Content] A USB receptacle connector according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed herein, which is constructed to have a very narrow space limitation. In a preferred embodiment, a USB receptacle connector includes a frame and an outer casing that closes the frame. The frame has: a mating surface forming a recess for receiving a corresponding USB plug connector; and a tab in the recess having a first direction oriented parallel to a width direction of the frame A surface and - relative to the __ tongue/group contact terminals each have a contact end at the surface. - the two sets of contact terminals each have a contact end at a second surface of the shovel. The first set of contacts: each of the second set of contact terminals has a mounting end, the split end extending out of the The rack is located on the mounting surface, the mounting surface is vertical and the width of the money rack. The connector is suitable for installation in a very narrow space. ^ The space may even be narrower than the width of the outer casing. The entire structure of the connection S is maintained to meet industry standards and compatibility without compromising electrical performance. [Embodiment] These aspects and advantages and other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a USB type socket according to an embodiment of the present invention has a frame 2, a housing 30 partially enclosing the frame, and four in the rack 2 Contact terminals 4A, 42 and 43. The frame 20 has a mating surface 28 which forms a recess 21 for receiving a corresponding USB plug connector (not shown); and a support member which is located in the recess The form of the tongue 22 in the 21. The recess 21 is substantially In the rectangular shape having the recess width 21 & and the recess height 21b, the standard recess height 21b is slightly smaller than the width 21a according to the USBsB socket. For the purpose of explanation, the direction parallel to the width 21a is referred to as a connector in the context. The width direction of 1〇&, and the direction parallel to the height direction 21b is referred to as the height direction 1〇b of the connector 1〇. According to the dimensional relationship between the recess degree 2 1 a and the recess height 2 ib, The connector height i 4 is also slightly smaller than the connector width 12. Each of the M385136 contact terminals 41 and 42 has contact ends 41a and 42a on the top surface or first surface 22a of the tab 22, respectively. Each of the 44 has respective contact ends 43a and 44a on the bottom surface or second surface 22b of the tongue 22. The contact terminals 41, 42, 43 and 44 each have a holding portion 41c, 42c, 43c and 44c at the intermediate portion thereof. To fix each contact holder to the chassis 20. As shown in Figure 5, according to the USB type B socket standard, the contact ends 41a and 42a are aligned along the first horizontal column 46a, and the contact ends 43a and 4乜Aligned along the second horizontal column 48a. This configuration is The connector 1 provides a standard mating surface for the corresponding USB plug. To mount the connector 10 to a printed circuit board (PCB) with a very limited layout or narrow mounting space, the contact terminals 41, 42, 43 and 44 are far away. The mating face 28 extends in a rearward direction 68 (Fig. 4), and the self-retaining portions 4U, 42c, 43c, and 44〇 extend further along the lateral direction 66 toward the side surface 26 of the frame 20 and terminate at the side surface 26 The respective mounting ends 4ib, 42b, 43b and 44b are externally mounted. The mounting legs 34 of the outer casing 30 and the posts 24 of the frame 2 also extend from the same side surface 26 for positioning and fixing the connector 1〇 to PCB 50. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, this configuration causes the side surface 26 to be a mounting surface for mounting the connector 10 to the PCB 50. Referring back to Figures 4 and 5, the contact end 41a and the contact end 42a of the contact terminal 41 are located in a horizontal row 46a and are in the same horizontal plane which is perpendicular to the mating face 28 and the mounting face 26. However, the holding portions 41c and 42c of the contact terminals 41 and 42 are located in two different horizontal planes 46b and 47b which are perpendicular to both the mating face and the mounting face 26. This structure can be formed by deforming one or both of the holding portion 41c of the first contact terminal 41 and the holding portion M385136 of the second contact terminal 42 by 4 and A. According to an embodiment, the contact end and the holding portion of the one of the contacts are in the same horizontal plane, and the τ 4 is coplanar with the top surface or the surface 22a of the tongue 22 And the contact end of the other of the set of contact terminals: and the holding portion are located in different horizontal planes. According to another embodiment, the contact ends and the holding portions of the two contact terminals of the first group are at different levels of ten. The holding portions 43c and 44C of the third contact terminal 43 and the φ fourth contact terminal 44 can be configured in a similar manner. Extending from the respective retaining portions 41c, 42c, 4氕 and 4^ along the lateral direction 66, the mounting ends 4ib, 42b, 43b and 44b of the contact terminals 41, 42, 43 and 44 are located at the respective identical horizontal planes 46b, 47b, 4 And 49b. In the present embodiment, the women's ends 41b, 42b, 43b, and 44b are disposed along a single alignment that is perpendicular to the first surface 22a of the tongue 22. As shown in Fig. 6, the post 24 and the leg 34 also extend in the same direction as the mounting end of the contact terminal for insertion into the respective through holes 52 _ and 53 of the pCB 5 。. As shown in Figure 7, by configuring the side surface 26 as the mounting surface of the connector, the twist 14 occupies the width limit of the PCB 50. Thus, the usable mounting space 55 of the PCB can accommodate a connector 1 having a standard width of 12, and the available mounting space 55 may be even smaller than the width 12 of the connector 1〇. There is no need to modify the corresponding plug connector.
