RJ45 socket connector

This is a technical field related to the structure of the RJ45 socket connector, especially an RJ45 socket connection that can greatly reduce the total height of the connector while providing a better use strength and a longer service life of the buckle structure. The device.

In recent years, the design of "light, thin" and "special shape curve" has become the two main mainstream development trends of notebook computers. In order to cope with the trend of thinning and shaping, the industry has various electronic components located in its interior. It is necessary to make various reductions in size. For example, the RJ45 socket connector can only be reduced to a total height of 9.80 mm in the early days due to the limitation of the conventional buckle structure. However, in recent years, the notebook computer has been thinned and specially shaped. With the development of curve design, major brands are now asking the industry to provide RJ45 socket connectors with a total height below 9.40mm.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of reducing the total height of the RJ45 socket connector, a manufacturer has developed an RJ45 socket connector having a swinging door cover as shown in Taiwan Patent No. I540798, with the swingable door cover as an RJ45 plug. Insert the snap-fit structure so that it meets the requirements for reducing the total height. However, this kind of RJ45 socket connector with swinging door cover not only has the production and assembly The problem of high cost, and the buckle structure is more prone to damage and loss of the buckle.

In addition, a conventional RJ45 socket connector as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has been developed, and the structure thereof mainly includes an insulative housing 10, a plurality of terminals 11 disposed in the insulative housing 10, and a sleeve. The outer casing 12 is one of the circumferential surfaces of the insulating body 10. The front side of the insulative housing 10 has a socket 13 for inserting an RJ45 plug 14. The top cover has a slot 15 extending therethrough, and the slot 15 extends to the front side to form an opening. The outer casing 12 is formed with a card slot 16 having an opening shape toward the front side, and two tabs 17 are provided at the corresponding openings of the two groove sides of the card slot 16 for the top of the RJ45 plug 14. The card walls 19 on both sides of the cassette 18 are snapped to ensure that the RJ45 plug 14 is not ejected by the reaction force of the plurality of terminals 11, thereby causing a disconnection or signal instability. However, the industry's major notebook computer brands have a force rating of 10KG/min for the RJ45 socket connector, and the conventional RJ45 connector connector meets the requirements for reducing the total height. However, since the two tabs 17 for engaging the latch 18 are fixed and the structural strength is insufficient, the two tabs 17 are easily twisted or even broken when the 10KG/min pull test is performed. The situation causes it to lose the function of engaging the cassette 18, and the test result indicates that the conventional RJ45 socket connector is prone to damage of the buckle structure during use, so that the RJ45 plug 14 is connected by the RJ45 socket connector. Ejected, causing a disconnection or signal instability.

The main purpose of this creation is to solve the conventional RJ45 socket connection. The manufacturing and assembly cost of the device is high and the buckle structure is easily damaged, thereby causing problems of disconnection or signal instability.

The RJ45 socket connector of the present invention comprises an insulative housing, a snap member and a housing. Wherein, the front side of the insulating system has a plug interface for inserting an RJ45 plug, the top surface has a slot which is open toward the front, and a receiving slot at the periphery of the slot, the receiving slot includes two sides The side grooves are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the notch, and each side groove includes an embedding section and an enlarged section extending to the front side of the embedding section and having a larger width. The fastening component is embedded in the receiving groove, and comprises two symmetrical buckle segments, wherein the two fastening segments are respectively disposed in the two side groove, and the rear segment is clamped to the embedded And the front section extends into the enlarged section and is elastically swingable in the enlarged section, and a buckle portion protruding from the opening of the slot is formed at the front end for being compatible with the RJ45 plug The two card walls of the cassette are engaged. The outer casing is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the insulative housing to limit the fastening member to the receiving groove of the insulative housing. The top surface of the outer casing is provided with a slot corresponding to one of the slots.

The RJ45 socket connector provided by the present invention can be designed to be elastically swingable in the enlarged section of the side groove by the front section of the two fastening sections of the fastening component, so that when used, The buckle member does not have a twist and break and loses the buckle effect, so that it can greatly reduce the total height of the connector to meet the requirements, and can also make the buckle structure have better use strength and longer length. The effect of the service life.
