Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a connector, a method for using the same, and an electronic device equipped with the same, and relates to the technical field of electronic equipment. A plurality of pins with different functions are arranged on the connector so as to solve a problem that a connector in the prior art may just transmit a few kinds of signals. Further, it saves the space of the electronic device to combine a power pin for supplying power and pins with other functions in one connector. The connector is applied to the electronic device and comprises a housing for protecting the connector; a flank arranged on the outer side of the housing, connected with the housing, and used for fixing the connector to the electronic device; an attachment arranged on the inner side of the housing, connected with the housing, and used for fixing the pins; and multiple pins arranged on the attachment and at least including the power pin for transmitting a power signal, a USB pin for transmitting a USB signals, a network pin for transmitting a network signal, and a DP pin for transmitting a DP signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a connector, a method for using the same, and an electronic equipment provided with the connector. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of electronic equipment technology, the signals transmitted between the computer system and external equipment are becoming more and more diverse. For example, power signals, USB (Universal Serial Bus, Universal Serial Bus) can be transmitted between the computer system and external equipment. signal, video signal, voice signal, etc. In order to support various signals transmitted between the computer system and external devices, it is necessary to configure connectors for transmitting corresponding signals to the computer system and external devices, so that the connectors can complete the information exchange between the computer system and external devices. The structure of the connector will affect the scope ...
