  • Patent number: 11736316
    Abstract: An Ethernet network is composed of one or more network infrastructure devices, such as a hubs, repeaters, switches or routers, which provides data interconnection and may provide operational power, or some part thereof, to remote network data terminal equipment such as a wireless access point, IP telephone, IP camera or network end station. Most Ethernet networks operate over a combination of the pairs in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, or in some cases may operate over fiber optic cables. The individual links of Ethernet network, between the network infrastructure device and the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) may be able to operate at one or more data rates such as 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 2.5 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s, or any combination thereof. The invention discloses an Ethernet Physical Layer (PHY) circuit, in combination with an Integrated Connector Module (ICM), which may reside inside the network equipment at either end of the Ethernet link.

  • Patent number: 9570860
    Abstract: The connector contains a main member, a casing member housing the main member, and a sliding member slidably configured on the casing member. The main member contains a flexible locking element along a lateral side. The sliding member has a second bulge element along a lateral side's internal wall for engaging the locking element. When a user holds and pulls the sliding member backward, the second bulge element presses the locking element, and the locking element is pushed to escape the detainment by a female connector. The present invention therefore achieves secured and convenient plugging and unplugging.

  • Patent number: 9425565
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a hook-up pin mounted on one lateral side of the electrical connector. The hook-up pin includes a pin body, soldering sections respectively formed on two sides of an end of the pin body, an elastic pressing section formed on an end of the pin body that is adjacent to the soldering sections, and a hook section formed on an end of the elastic pressing section that is distant from the soldering sections. The soldering sections are arranged to clamp and be soldered to opposite sides of the circuit substrate. In inserting male and female parts of the present invention to each other, the soldering sections clamp on and are soldered to two sides of the circuit substrate so as to be resistant to the force of insertion and removal and be protected against damage. Further, the hook section helps prevent undesired detachment.

  • Patent number: 9425524
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a mounting frame and a connector mounted on a circuit substrate. The mounting frame includes at least one position constraining plate, which includes at least one fixing section. The fixing section includes two spaced bending portions and an engagement section therebetween. The engagement section is engageable with a retention section of the connector. The retention section includes a bearing section engaging and bearing the engagement section and a limiting section formed on at least one side of the bearing section to limit the position of the mounting frame in a lateral direction. To assemble, the retention section of the connector is first set in alignment with the engagement section of the mounting frame and a force is applied to have them engage with each other. The bearing section provides position constraining in a longitudinal direction, while the limiting section provides position limiting in a lateral direction.

    Abstract: A structure of an Ethernet SMD type signal transformer connector includes a substrate, at least one first SMD signal transformer, and at least one second SMD common-mode inductor. The substrate has a surface on which a plurality of first conductive wires and second conductive wires are formed. The first SMD signal transformer includes a first SMD-first contact section, a first SMD-second contact section, a first SMD-third contact section, and a first SMD-fourth contact section formed in each end thereof. The second SMD common-mode inductor is connected, via the first conductive wires, to the first SMD-first contact section and the first SMD-fourth contact section. The first SMD-second contact section and the first SMD-third contact section are electrically connected by the second conductive wires. With the above-described arrangement, the overall consumption of material is reduced and the manufacturing process simplified so as to achieve the purposes of saving material and simplifying manufacture.

  • Publication number: 20150206649
    Abstract: An improved structure of an SMD (Surface Mount Device) includes a magnetic core and a plurality of conductive wire. The magnetic core has two ends each forming a connection portion and the connection portion has a side forming at least four soldering sections. The conductive wires are wound around the magnetic core and two ends of each of the conductive wires are respectively soldered to the soldering sections. The conductive wires are subjected to a mechanized automatic winding operation. The magnetic core is an SMD core. With such an arrangement, the volume of the signal transformer can be greatly reduced. Further, an advantage of human-labor-free manufacture can be achieved with the mechanized winding operation and also, the quality of the signal transformer is made more stable to increase the throughput. Advantages including stable electric characteristics, fully automatized manufacture, and high throughput, can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20150093942
    Abstract: A structure of a connector combination includes at least one first RJ45 connector, a second RJ45 connector, and a positioning member. The first RJ45 connector has at least one side forming a first coupling section. The second RJ45 connector has at least one side forming a second coupling section that is jointable to the first coupling section. As such, the first RJ45 connectors and the second RJ45 connectors can be combined with each other through the first coupling sections and the second coupling sections thereof according to a desired number of connectors, so that saving of mold cost can be achieved in respect of quantity. On the other hand, individual replacement of a broken connector is possible in a maintenance operation so as to achieve advantages of efficient maintenance and reducing maintenance-related cost.

  • Publication number: 20140320232
    Abstract: A network signal transmission match device includes at least a substrate, at least a signal transmission component set, and at least a signal transformer connected in series with the signal transmission component set. The signal transmission component set is formed of at least a capacitor and an inductor connected in series and is mounted through SMT to the substrate. The signal transformer is electrically connected with the signal transmission component set. With the above structure, when the device is put into use, due to the correspondence and collaboration between the capacitor and the inductor, there is no impedance matching problem and the IEEE property is made better so as to greatly improve the operation characteristics thereof. As such, practical improvements of having excellent IEEE and EMI properties, being free of impedance matching problem, and providing efficient and stable manufacturability are achieved.

  • Publication number: 20140322931
    Abstract: A structure of a printed circuit board of an electrical connector generally includes a plurality of circuit boards, which provides a network signal transmission matching function and a plurality of coupling modules, which includes arrayed pins embedded therein. Each of the circuit boards is fixedly mounted to one side of each of the coupling modules and is electrically connected to ends of the arrayed pins and forms a channel. As such, the technical feature of the present invention that uses circuit boards to serve as bridge connection allows the circuit boards to be assembled to the coupling modules in such a way that additional wiring is not needed and connection can be established through soldering applied to the arrayed pins, thereby achieving the advantages that assembling can be carried out in an easy, fast, and time-efficient manner.
