  • Patent number: 7341472
    Abstract: A plug connector with latch means includes a casing, a mating portion and a latch means. The latch means consists of a lock member and a press member. The lock member has a lock arm, the front end of the lock arm projects sideward and defines a pawl, the back end projects sideward and defines a projection. The front end of the press member bends inward to define a press portion, the back end bends inward to define a blocking portion. To disengage the plug connector from the mating connector, the casing is pulled, the press member is driven to move backward along with the casing and the press portion presses the projection of the lock member, the projection is driven to move inward and drives the pawl move into the inlay cavity, thereby, the plug connector with latch means disengages from the mating connector easily.

  • Patent number: 7238060
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes a body, a cover assembled outside the body and a terminal module received in the body. The terminal module comprises a plurality of terminals and a pedestal. Each terminal defines a fixing portion. The fixing portion stretches sideward and forms a pair of locating projections. The pedestal further comprises an upper and a lower board. Both the upper and the lower board define a plurality of terminal channels and locating cavities. The fixing portion of the terminal is received in the terminal channel. The locating projection of the terminal is received and fixed in the locating cavity. The sides of the pedestal protrude sideward to form a pair of inserting portion. Accordingly, the body defines a receiving cavity to receive the terminal module. The body also defines a pair of receiving channels in sides of the receiving cavity for receiving the inserting portion of the pedestal.

  • Patent number: 7192310
    Abstract: A HDMI connector includes a dielectric housing, a plurality of terminals, a support board, an upper lid, a lower lid and wires. The dielectric housing has a plurality of terminal grooves extending from a front sidewall to a rear sidewall. The terminals are inserted into the terminal grooves. The support board connects with the rear sidewall of the dielectric housing. A plurality of channels are disposed on a top surface and a bottom surface thereon. The upper lid has a plurality of first clip grooves disposed on the lower surface, and a plurality of protrusions are formed therebetween. The lower lid has a plurality of second clip grooves disposed on the upper surface, and a plurality of protrusions are formed therebetween. The wires are arranged in the channels connecting with the terminals. The upper lid and the lower lid buckle with the channels to fix the wires in the channels.

  • Patent number: 7153155
    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes a body and a cover assembled outside the body. The body defines a receiving space and a pair of beams. The end of each beam stretches backward to form a guiding projection. The bottom of the guiding projection is a cambered surface. The cover is bent downward from the front portion to form a pair of elastic arms. The bottom portion of the elastic arm is bent forward to form a finger portion. While a plug connector is inserted into the receiving space of the receptacle connector, the elastic arms press against the pressing portion of the plug connector. When the plug connector is dragged accidentally, the elastic portion of the plug connector slides downward along the finger portion to the cambered surface of the guiding projections, and then slides out of the receiving space to set the plug and receptacle connector apart.
