Patent Application
20160233628
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510065887.7 filed on Feb. 9, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to a connector and a manufacturing method for the connector.
A connector is used for transmitting data between two electronic devices. The connector includes a plurality of wires to transfer the data.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a connector
A receiving space 12 is defined through the shell 10. Two fixing holes 14 are defined in opposite sides of the shell 10 and communicate with the receiving space 12. In one embodiment, the shell 10 can be integrally formed by injection molding.
Each cable 20 includes a plurality of wires 22 and a jacket 24. The plurality of wires 22 is packaged by the jacket 24, and a part of each of the plurality of wires 22 extends out of the jacket 24. Each wire 22 includes insulation 220 and a body 222. The insulation 220 jackets the body 222. The body 222 is packaged by the insulation 220, and a part of the body 222 extends out of the insulation 220. In one embodiment, the jacket 24 can be made of insulation material.
The clamping member 30 includes a first plate 32 and a second plate 34 extending from the first plate 32. In an embodiment, the second plate 32 is substantially perpendicular to the first plate 32. The first plate 32 defines a plurality of slots 320 and two latching holes 322. The plurality of slots 320 is evenly spaced from each other and is aligned in two rows. Two latching holes 322 are defined between the two rows of the plurality of slots 320.
The plug 40 includes a main portion 42 and an extending portion 44. The extending portion 44 extends from the main portion 42. The main portion 42 defines a plurality of inserting holes 420. The extending portion 44 includes a plurality of protruding portions 440, a plurality of pins 444, two connecting structures 446, and four fixing members 448. The plurality of protruding portions 440 is evenly spaced from each other and is aligned in two rows. A groove 442 is defined between each two adjacent protruding portions 440. Each pin 444 is located in one groove 442. Two connecting structures 446 are located between the two rows of the plurality of protruding portions 440.
At block 101, the clamping member 30 is fixed with the plug 40.
At block 102, the plurality of wires 22 is clamped in the plurality of slots 320, and parts of the plurality of wires 22 clamped in the plurality of slots 320 are substantially parallel to each other.
At block 103, the plurality of wires 22 is electronically connected with the plurality of pins 444.
At block 104, the shell 10 is formed by injection molding to the plug 40, the clamping member 30, and the plurality of wires 22.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a connector. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
