Connector with reinforcing structure

The present invention relates to a socket connector, and more particularly to a socket connector with a reinforcing structure. The tongue of the insulating body is provided with a reinforcing component, and the occlusal piece set on the reinforcing component is firmly combined with the engaging groove of the insulating body and is not easy to fall off.

The Micro Universal Serial Bus (Micro USB) connector is commonly used in various portable electronic devices such as smart phones and digital cameras. The Micro USB connector allows portable electronic devices to be connected to a computer for data transmission or It is charging the portable electronic device.

The existing Micro USB socket connector is formed by an insulating body, a plurality of terminals and a shielding shell. The insulative housing has a base and a tongue projecting from the base. The plurality of terminals are disposed on the insulative housing. The shielding case is assembled inside the insulating body and the terminal. In addition, since the Micro USB socket connector is smaller than the conventional USB socket connector, a reinforcing iron piece is additionally formed on the tongue of the insulating body by injection molding, and the reinforcing iron piece is provided with a groove for the tongue. The plastic material on the sheet is embedded in the groove in the injection molding process.
