Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to four-pole plugs for connection to PCBs (printed circuit boards) and, more particularly, to a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB which is configured such that the four-pole plug is easily coupled to a PCB module.
- Plugs are connectors which are provided on ends of electric cords to connect electric circuits to each other. Typically, plugs are widely used as parts for outputting audio information of acoustic apparatuses.
- the acoustic apparatus To output sound generated from an acoustic apparatus through an external speaker, the acoustic apparatus generally has a jack to which a connection plug of the speaker is connected.
- speakers include earphones, headphones, etc.
- a two-pole plug In the case of a mono sound source, a two-pole plug is used. When a stereo sound source is used, a three-pole plug is required. Recently, four-pole plugs are commonly used not only to provide connection to a stereo sound source but also to provide additional functions, such as controlling the frequency of an acoustic apparatus, rewinding or fast-forward winding, stopping, outputting of image information, etc., using, for example, a remote controller connected to an electric cord of an earphone.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional four-pole plug.
- the conventional four-pole plug includes a plug tip 1, a plug body 2, a terminal housing 3 and terminal connectors 4. Wires 5 are connected to the corresponding terminal connectors 4.
- the terminal housing 3 generally has a cylindrical shape so that it cannot be easily placed on a PCB. Further, because the work of connecting the wires to the four-pole plug is conducted manually, it is not easy to connect the wires to the four-pole plug and couple it to the PCB. Further, an error rate in work of wire connection is increased, thus increasing the number of defective products. In addition, applying an equipment finish is inconvenient to a worker.
- the inventors of the present invention propose a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB which is configured such that it can be easily connected to the PCB, errors are prevented from being caused during a process of connecting the plug to an external apparatus, and the function of the plug can be diversified.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB which is configured such that it can be easily connected to the PCB.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB which can reduce an error rate during a process of connecting the plug to an external apparatus.
- the present invention provides a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB, including: a plug body unit having a long cylindrical shape, the plug body unit being connected to a jack of an acoustic apparatus; a connection terminal unit coupled to an end of the plug body unit; and a terminal housing receiving the connection terminal unit therein, the terminal housing having an opening at a predetermined position so that a portion of the connection terminal unit protrudes from the terminal housing through the opening.
- the plug body unit may include: a tip provided on a front end of the plug body unit, the tip having a thin and long cylindrical coupling part; a first plug member longitudinally coupled to the tip in such a way that the tip is disposed in the first plug member; a second plug member longitudinally coupled to the first plug member in such a way that the first plug member is disposed in the second plug member; a third plug member longitudinally coupled to the second plug member in such a way that the second plug member is disposed in the third plug member; and a fourth plug member made of an insulation material and interposed between junction surfaces of the tip, the first plug member, the second plug member and the third plug member, the fourth plug member being longitudinally coupled to the third plug member in such a way that a portion of the coupling part of the tip that protrudes outwards from the first plug member is received in the third plug member.
- the connection terminal unit may include: a first terminal coupled to an end of the fourth plug member that is not coupled to the tip; a second terminal disposed adjacent to the first terminal; a third terminal disposed adjacent to the second terminal; and a fourth terminal disposed adjacent to the third terminal.
- the opening of the terminal housing may comprise a pair of openings formed in each of opposite sides of the terminal housing so that the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal and the fourth terminal protrude outwards from the terminal housing through the corresponding openings.
- a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB according to the present invention is configured such that it can be easily connected to the PCB. Further, the present invention can reduce an error rate during a process of connecting the plug to an external apparatus.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a four-pole plug to which wires are connected, according to a conventional technique
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB, according to the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view illustrating the four-pole plug according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the four-pole plug according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a four-pole plug for connection to a PCB, according to the present invention.
- the four-pole plug according to the present invention includes a plug body unit 10, connection terminal units 20 and a terminal housing 30.

- the plug body unit 10 is configured such that a tip 11, a first plug member 12, a second plug member 13, a third plug member 14 and a fourth plug member 15 are coupled to each other.
- connection terminal units 20 are coupled to a first end of the plug body unit 10 and disposed in the terminal housing 30. A portion of each connection terminal unit 20 protrudes outwards from the terminal housing 30 so that it can be easily connected to the external PCB. Therefore, the terminal housing 30 has, at predetermined positions, openings through which the portions of the connection terminal units 20 protrude outwards from the terminal housing 30.
