    Abstract: A USB connector includes an insulating housing, electrical terminals integrated in the insulating housing, a printed circuit board fixed with the insulating housing and the electrical terminals together, a fixed member mounted to the insulating housing and the printed circuit board to integrate the insulating housing, the electrical terminals, the printed circuit board and the fixed member into a basic module, and a shell worn around the basic module. A top face of the fixed member protrudes upward to form a locking block. The shell has a top plate in which a fixing hole is opened. The locking block of the fixed member is buckled in the fixing hole of the top plate. So the USB connector can be easily taken apart almost without damage to facilitate the maintenance work when it is at failure.

  • Patent number: 9116671
    Abstract: A storage device with wireless router function includes a main module having a base board, and a network connector. A USB controller, a memory and a router chip are located on the base board. One end of the base board is equipped with a first connector. The USB controller, the memory and the first connector are coupled with the router chip. The storage device performs a data storage function via electrically plugging the first connector to an electronic product and accessing data in the memory. The network connector is electrically connected to the router chip of the base board. The network connector is capable of being further connected to a local area network via a wire link so as to make the storage device perform a wireless router function through the router chip providing a wireless LAN to wirelessly connect the electronic product with an internet.
