Description

Composite connector

This creation relates to a connector, especially a composite connector having two connectors of the same specification.

Today's Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors have a maximum transfer rate from 12Mbps to up to 10Gbps Super Speed+. It is expected that users can obtain faster transmission rates when transmitting large-capacity files, and effectively shorten the transmission time. Today, USB specifications have been widely used in information communication products such as personal computers and mobile devices. Since many different electronic devices are currently developed, including displays, tablet computers, smart phones, cameras, plug-and-play devices, etc., the connector types of various electronic devices are different, and many electronic device devices also generate data with different functions. Plug connectors also create a variety of intricate connections, which are bound to be improved.

Prior to this, such products on the market were single-function or configuration of the same type of interface stack design, for example, a single USB Mini Type electrical connector can only be used for signal transmission; for example, a charging plug connector is only suitable for Power transmission, etc., but in response to the development of miniaturization of electronic products, the electrical connectors used in the products have begun to be integrated, and a combined socket connector has been introduced. The socket connector has the functions of signal transmission and power transmission, and is suitable for information transmission or power transmission between different products. Therefore, the conventional modular jack connector is not suitable for a single plug.

In view of this, the creator hopes that in the future, the combined socket connector can achieve more expansion effects and meet the needs of consumers, that is, to develop the creation.

One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a composite connector in which two connectors of the same specification are laterally integrated into one body.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a composite connector comprising a metal housing, a first tongue and a second tongue. One end of the metal casing is formed with a first socket and a second socket which are symmetrically and adjacently arranged in a lateral direction. The first tongue plate is disposed in the metal housing and corresponds to the first socket, and the first tongue plate is respectively provided with a first upper row of terminal groups formed on a first upper surface and a first lower surface formed on a first lower surface Row terminal group. The second tongue is disposed in the metal housing and corresponds to the second socket. The second tongue plate is respectively provided with a second upper row of terminal groups formed with a second upper surface and a second lower row of terminal groups formed on a second lower surface. A first shielding plate and a second shielding plate are respectively disposed in the first and second tongue plates. The first shielding plate is located between the first upper row of terminal groups and the first lower row of terminal groups, and the second shielding plate is located between the second upper row of terminal groups and the second lower row of terminal groups.
