  • Patent number: 7824224
    Abstract: The present invention provides a printed board connector reinforced with a circuit board, and the printed board connector includes an insulating casing, a plurality of signal modules, and a plurality of metal shielding elements. The insulating casing includes a rib. The rib extends a plurality of insulating shielding walls downwardly and the signal modules are received between the insulating shielding walls and are tightly mounted in the rib. The metal shielding elements are received between the insulating shielding walls and are tightly mounted in the rib and the signal modules. When a user presses the printed circuit connector to connect with a circuit board, the rib guides and positions the signal modules and the metal shielding elements, moreover, the rib enhances the strength of the assembling with the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 7806738
    Abstract: A power source terminal structure includes an insertion terminal and a docking terminal. The insertion terminal has a main body and a contacting portion. The contacting portion is formed by extending from one end of the main body. The contacting portion is provided with a first protrusion. The docking terminal has a base and two elastic arms. The two elastic arms clamp the main body. The base is provided with a second protrusion opposite perpendicular to the first protrusion. The second protrusion contacts the first protrusion. Via this arrangement, the contact area between the insertion terminal and the docking terminal can be increased, and the reliability of the connector for transmitting the electric current and signals can be increased. Thus, the electric current is more stable.

  • Patent number: 7557305
    Abstract: A connector housing for a small and portable transmitting-receiving module includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing has a top board, two side walls and a rear cover. The lower edge of the two side walls has a first wedging plate, first convex blocks, and first indentations. The lower housing has a bottom board, and the bottom board has a second wedging plate, second convex blocks, and second indentations. The second wedging plate is wedging the two side walls. The first wedging plate is wedging the bottom board. The second convex blocks are plugged into the first indentations. The first convex blocks are plugged into the second indentations. Thereby, the structure of the connector housing is stronger compared to the prior art. The housing is not easily deformed. Its structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7465198
    Abstract: A press-fit power connector includes a female terminal base, a plurality of female power terminals and a plurality of female signal terminals. The female power terminals and the female signal terminals are mounted on the female terminal base. Each female power terminal has a terminal contacting portion, a fixing portion, and a pin portion. The terminal contacting portion has an end hole and a clamp slot on one end, and the end hole connects with the clamp slot. The fixing portion is formed by extending the other end of the terminal contacting portion and has at least one borehole. The pin portion is formed by bending and extending one end of the fixing portion which is far away from the terminal contacting portion and has an eye of needle. Based on the above structure, the present invention can improve the yield of products and reduces manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 7413449
    Abstract: An improved pluggable insulated terminal block includes a terminal block and a plurality of terminal-protecting pieces. The terminal block comprises a first cover, a second cover and a plurality of terminals. An inner wall of the first cover is provided with a plurality of first terminal holders. An inner wall of the second cover is provided with a plurality of second terminal holders. Each terminal penetrates through one of the first terminal holders and one of the second terminal holders. The first cover is connected with the second cover. The terminal-protecting pieces are provided between the first terminal holders and the second terminal holders. The terminal-protecting pieces are arranged on the terminals. The two ends of each terminal extend beyond the terminal-protecting piece. Via this arrangement, the terminals will not be pushed inside the terminal block, when the terminals are inserted into a circuit board.

An abutting portions having a ‘<’-shaped part and a ‘>’-shaped part is formed on the locking structure to abut against the outer edge wall of the connector so that the protection cover and the connector can be firmly connected together. It is not necessary to use a professional tool like a screwdriver to separate the protection cover from the connector. Scrapes on the surface of the connector can also be avoided. Moreover, reinforcement portions are formed at the inner top face and the link positions at two inner sides of the protection cover to prevent the protection cover from crushing terminals in the connector due to stacking of the connectors during transportation.
