In the present embodiment, electrical connector 30 is used to the input-output equipment of pegging graft.Electrical connector 30 is installed in header board 14.Please in conjunction with Fig. 2, electrical connector 30 comprises an a connector module 40 and a housing 50.

Connector module 40 comprises the body 46 that without exception is cube shaped, and body 46 is a plastic parts in the present embodiment.Offer some storage tanks (not label) on the front end face of body 46, to accommodate some connector ports.In the present embodiment, be provided with one first port 41, two second ports 42 and four the 3rd ports 43 on the front end face of body 46 altogether, and

port

41,42 and 43 can adopt the mode of supersonic welding and body 46 moulding as a whole.A cable 60 is drawn in the rear end of body 46, be used for

port

41,42 and 43 and circuit board 20 electrically connect.In the present embodiment, cable 60 is told three branch lines, comprises first branch line 61, second branch line 62 and the three branch 63.Wherein, first port 41 links to each other with an end of first branch line 61, and two second ports 42 link to each other with an end of second branch line 62, and four the 3rd ports 43 link to each other with an end of three branch 63.The

branch line

61,62 and 63 the other end are respectively equipped with first plug 610, second plug 620 and the 3rd plug 630.Wherein, first plug 610 and the 21 corresponding grafting of first socket, second plug 620 and the 22 corresponding grafting of second socket, the 3rd plug 630 and the 23 corresponding grafting of the 3rd socket.Offer two mounting grooves 48 on the two relative side of body 46 respectively, a guide channel 49 is also offered in each described side between two mounting grooves 48.The cell wall of close body 46 front end faces of each mounting groove 48 forms a stop section 482.The two ends of each guide channel 49 are through to the front end face and the rear end face of body 46 respectively.

Housing 50 is used to accommodate and protects connector module 40, and present embodiment middle shell 50 is an ironware.Housing 50 shapes and connector module 40 adapt, and it is made up of dististyle 51 before one and four lateral plates, and are surrounded by preceding dististyle 51 and described four lateral plates and to form one and the receiving space that is complementary of connector module 40.A pair of relative lateral plate 52 in described four lateral plates is respectively equipped with the fairlead 529 of two block shell fragments 528 and between two block shell fragments 528.Block shell fragment 528 is corresponding to the mounting groove 48 of connector module 40, and it is by being obliquely extended in the housing 50 on the respective side panels 52, and its bearing of trend point to before dististyle 51.Fairlead 529 is corresponding to the guide channel 49 of connector module 40, and it is by being obliquely extended in the housing 50 on the respective side panels 52, and its bearing of trend point to before dististyle 51.Two rubber-like contact chips 522 are extended in the rear end of each lateral plate 52, are used to contact header board 14.In described four lateral plates another is used for housing 50 is fixed in header board 14 to relative lateral plate 54.In the present embodiment, each lateral plate 54 rear end is bent to form a stator 540, offers some locking holes 542 on the stator 540, with the locking hole that corresponding header board 14 is offered, can utilize plurality of fixed part (as screw) that housing 50 is fixed in header board 14 then.Offer some holes 511,512 and 513 that are complementary with

port

41,42 and 43 on the preceding dististyle 51.

During assembly connector device 30, with the front end face of connector module 40 rear end towards housing 50, make fairlead 529 make that under the guiding of guide channel 49 connector module 40 slips into housing 50, block shell fragment 528 is with after connector module 40 contacts, connector module 40 forces block shell fragment 528 that elastic deformation takes place outwardly, when the stop section 482 of mounting groove 48 slides to the free end of corresponding block shell fragment 528, block shell fragment 528 elastic recoverys make the free end of block shell fragment 528 fall into corresponding mounting groove 48 and lean corresponding stop section 482.So connector module 40 is fixed in the housing 50 firmly, assemble easyly, be fit to very much the assembling operation of factory.At this moment,

port

41,42 and 43 is also exposed by corresponding hole 511,512 and 513 on the preceding dististyle 51, in order to use.

During the assembling host computer, make cable 60 penetrate (the header board relevant position is offered the hole that can make cable 60 pass in advance) described host computer by header board 14, electrical connector 30 is fixed on header board 14 by its housing 50, then corresponding

socket

21,22 and 23 on plug on the cable 60 610,620 and the 630 insertion circuit boards 20 is got final product.At this moment, contact chip 522 connects with header board 14, and housing 50

surrounds port

41,42 and 43 with header board 14 in addition, thereby has formed together reliable electromagnetic shielding, prevents the inner electromagnetic interference that produces of 41,42 and 43 pairs of described host computers of port.In like manner, electrical connector 30 also can be installed in any part of described host computer, and is subject to circuit board 20 unlike traditional connector, and this design for host computer provides more more options.In addition,, make electrical connector 30 not be fixed on the host computer and also can use owing to adopted cable 60 this soft connected modes, such as, electrical connector 30 can be placed on the computer desk, this operator's that is more convenient for use at this moment, can be saved housing 50.

Electrical connector 30 of the present invention is complete breaking circuit plate in manufacture process, in use also only gets in touch by electric connection mode and circuit board, like this, does not worry that the static of generation can be with circuit board damage when producing and safeguarding.And, compared to traditional way that connector is welded on the circuit board, electrical connector 30 of the present invention is not worried the floating height of connector, problem such as crooked, does not also worry that long-term use can cause the loose contact of connector and circuit board, thereby can improve useful life.

In other embodiments, electrical connector 30 also can be used in other electronic equipments, needs to use the electronic equipment of input/output port as display, server etc.In addition, the body 46 of electrical connector 30 also can be other shapes, and as prolate shape, and quantity, type and the arrangement mode of body 46 upper port also can be adjusted according to the design needs.
