Patent number: 9847595Abstract: An electrical receptacle connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated housing, first receptacle terminals, second receptacle terminals, first glue recess, and a first texture region. The metallic shell circularly encloses the insulated housing. The first and second receptacle terminals are held in the insulated housing. The first texture region is annularly formed on an inner wall of the metallic shell and corresponds to a periphery of the outer wall of the insulated housing. Therefore, the sealing member can attach onto the first texture region efficiently. Therefore, the sealing member does not overflow to the front portion of the receptacle cavity, and the inner gap can be sealed by the sealing member properly. Hence, the first texture region allows the sealing member to attach onto the inner wall of the shell body, and the sealing member can cover the inner gap completely to provide a reliable waterproof performance.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Advanced-Connectek Inc.Inventors: Yu-Lun Tsai, Pin-Yuan Hou, Chung-Fu Liao, Rui Su, Dong Xiang, Long-Fei Chen, Yun-Jhong Wong

Patent number: 9831574Abstract: An electrical plug connector includes a plug insulated housing which is integrally formed and plug terminals. A transition segment connected between first and second contact portions of each plug terminal allows the first contact portion to be in contact with and arranged substantially parallel to the second contact portion, so that connectors with reduced width can be manufactured. In addition, the shaping space between a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion of each plug terminal receive materials for forming the plug insulated housing, thus improving the structural strength of the connector. Moreover, embedded ends allow the plug terminals to be secured with the plug bottom wall, so that the plug terminals would not detach from the plug insulated housing easily during manufacturing or operation. The structural strength of the electrical plug connector can be improved, and the plug terminals can be properly assembled with the plug insulated housing.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: ADVANCED-CONNECTEK INC.Inventors: Kuo-Ching Lee, Ta-Teh Meng, Cheng-Feng Yu, Wang-Jie Luo
