1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a power connector, and more particularly to a power connector with an internal printed circuit board for electrically connecting a cable to a mating plug.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Direct current (DC) power connector has been widely used in electrical device to be connected to DC power connector to transmit direct current power. U.S. Pat. No. 6,572,402 issued to Lin discloses an electrical connector assembly having an internal printed circuit board, a plurality of cables soldered to the internal printed circuit board, a mating plug having a plurality of wires soldered to the internal printed circuit board in order to electrically connect with the cables. However, it is difficult to sold the number of cables and the wires to a small internal printed circuit board.
Hence, in this art, a power connector to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art should be provided.
A primary object, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a power connector with an improved internal printed circuit board for easily connecting cables to a mating plug.
In order to implement the above object, a power connector mateable with a complementary connector comprises a mating plug having a plurality of contacts, an internal printed circuit board mounted to the mating plug and located in one transverse direction perpendicular to the pluggable direction and a cable connected to the internal circuit board. The internal printed circuit board defines a conductive area. The cable provides a connecting section to connect with the conductive area of the internal printed circuit board and extending through the internal printed circuit board to connect with the contacts of the mating plug.
It is easy to connect the cable to the mating plug by the conductive area disposed on the internal printed circuit board.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Reference will now be made in detail to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The cable 20 has a second leg 21b electrically connected to the protruding end 131 for connecting to an anode signal, a first leg 21a connecting with the first conductive area 31 of the opening 152 and extending through the opening 152 of the internal printed circuit board 15 to electrically connect with the first terminal 12 of the mating plug 10 to connect to a cathode signal, and a third leg 21c connected to the central pin 11 for grounding purpose.
The guiding pipe 40 encloses the connecting section 24 of the cable 20 to transmit the light from the light-emitting component 34.
Reference to
It is easy to connect the cable 20 to the mating plug 10 by the conductive areas 31, 32 disposed on the internal printed circuit board 15.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
