Description

Stackable Dual Transport Interface Connector Module

technical field

The utility model belongs to a connector structure, in particular to a stacked dual-transmission interface connector module, which can save the manufacturing cost of the connector and save the space of the electronic layout connector. Connect USB, eSATA peripheral products, or you can choose to connect USB or eSATA interface devices to improve expandability.

Background technique

Computer peripherals such as portable storage disks, portable hard disks, or external optical disks are connected to computers through external transmission standards such as USB and IEEE 1394. Among them, the most popular transmission standard is USB 2.0. Almost all computer peripherals The devices all have USB 2.0 connectors, and the current upper limit of the transmission speed of the USB 2.0 specification is 480Mbps.

Due to the continuous improvement of computer peripheral equipment, the speed of data transmission continues to increase, and some people have even developed external hard disk drive boxes to make the high-speed hard disk drive originally built in the computer a portable device. , the transmission upper limit of USB 2.0 is not enough, so someone has developed a new high-speed external transmission specification, namely eSATA, this new external transmission specification can increase the transmission speed to 3Gbps, even if it is applied to external hard drives, It can also be used with ease, so that the hard disk drive can give full play to the limit of its own transmission speed.

However, even though the excellent eSATA transmission specification is gradually being valued by the market, the USB 2.0 transmission specification has a huge market share. In the transitional period when the new and old transmission specifications alternate in the future, both the host computer and the peripherals of the computer will inevitably have both USB 2.0 and eSATA There are two kinds of connectors, so that users can connect the older USB 2.0 transmission specification host/peripheral, or use the newer eSATA transmission specification host/peripheral.

At present, there are computer hosts or peripherals with connectors of both USB 2.0 and eSATA transmission specifications. These connectors are fixed on a circuit board, and each is an independent module. Therefore, the housing of each host or peripherals A plurality of openings corresponding to each module must be opened at the same time so that the modules can be exposed outside the housing, which makes the mold opening of the housing complicated. In addition, when multiple independent connector modules are installed in the openings of the housing, they must be separately However, if the manufacturing precision of the housing is too low, the problem that one of the connector modules cannot be exposed is likely to occur. In general, the manufacturing cost of the host/peripheral with these two transmission specification connectors is high and the assembly is difficult.

Contents of the invention

Based on the existing USB and eSATA computer hosts/peripherals with USB and eSATA connectors, the USB and eSATA connectors are made with independent modules, resulting in high manufacturing costs for the host/peripherals and the shortcomings of difficult assembly. Furthermore, a stacked dual transmission interface connector module is created.

The utility model provides a stacked dual-transmission interface connector module, in which the interface connectors with USB and eSATA transmission specifications are arranged in the same module, thereby simplifying the connection between the module and the computer host/peripheral The assembly of the shell reduces the complexity of the mold opening of the shell, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the host/periphery.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the aforementioned stacked dual transmission interface connector module includes:

A module casing, through which a chamber is formed;

A USB interface connector is arranged in the container, and includes a USB spring clip holder and a plurality of USB clips, the USB clip holder is flat, and the USB clips are fixed on the USB clip holder; and

An eSATA interface connector is arranged in the chamber, and includes an eSATA spring clip fixing seat and a plurality of eSATA spring clips, the eSATA spring clip fixing seat is flat, and the eSATA spring clips are fixed on the eSATA spring clip fixing seat;

Wherein, the USB shrapnel holder and the eSATA shrapnel holder are vertically arranged side by side so that the USB interface connector and the eSATA interface connector are in a stacked configuration state.

By means of the above-mentioned technical means, when the stacked dual transmission interface connector module is installed on the casing of the computer host/periphery, it is only necessary to open an opening in the casing for inserting the module casing, thereby reducing the casing. The complexity of body mold opening is reduced, and the alignment problem between the connector module and the housing opening is reduced, so the cost of the host/peripheral can be reduced.

The foregoing USB spring clip fixing seat and the eSATA spring clip fixing seat are integrally formed on a connecting seat.

A partition for separating the USB interface connector and the eSATA interface connector is formed on the aforementioned connecting base.

A U-shaped pressing element is sheathed on the partition, and a plurality of pressing parts protrude from the upper and lower sides of the pressing element to tighten the external USB terminals and eSATA terminals.

A plurality of tightening parts protrude from the upper and lower inner walls of the housing chamber of the aforementioned module respectively so as to tighten the externally connected USB terminals and eSATA terminals.
