Power supply test connector

Abstract

A power supply test connector is provided for insertion into a network socket. The power supply test connector includes a housing, a circuit board, a terminal assembly, and a light-emitting component. The housing includes a receiving space and a plurality of terminal openings. These terminal openings all communicate with the receiving space. The circuit board is disposed within the receiving space of the housing. The terminal assembly is electrically connected to the circuit board, and a portion of the terminal assembly is exposed through the terminal openings of the housing for electrically connecting to the network socket. The light-emitting component includes at least one light-emitting element. The at least one light-emitting element is electrically connected to the terminal assembly via the circuit board. When the terminal assembly is electrically connected to the network socket, the at least one light-emitting element displays at least one light-emitting pattern corresponding to the energized state of the network socket.

Claims

1. A power supply test connector for insertion into a network socket, the power supply test connector comprising: a housing including a receiving space and a plurality of terminal openings communicating with the receiving space; a circuit board disposed in the receiving space of the housing; a terminal assembly electrically connected to the circuit board, the terminal assembly being partially exposed in the terminal openings of the housing and used for electrically connecting to the network socket; and a light-emitting component including at least one light-emitting element, the at least one light-emitting element being electrically connected to the terminal assembly through the circuit board, wherein when the terminal assembly is electrically connected to the network socket, the at least one light-emitting element is used to display at least one light-emitting mode corresponding to the energized state of the network socket.

2. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing further has at least one light-transmitting hole located on the side of the housing away from one of the terminal openings and corresponding to the at least one light-emitting element.

3. The power supply test connector as described in claim 2 further includes at least one light guide, the at least one light guide being disposed in the receiving space of the housing, and the opposite ends of the at least one light guide being respectively connected to the at least one light-emitting element and exposed to the at least one light-transmitting hole.

4. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of the at least one light-emitting element is two, wherein one light-emitting element is electrically connected to a portion of the terminal assembly, and the other light-emitting element is electrically connected to another portion of the terminal assembly.

5. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 4, wherein the terminal assembly includes six first mating terminals and two second mating terminals electrically connected to the circuit board, the six first mating terminals and the two second mating terminals being numbered from one side of the circuit board to the other as number 1 to 8, wherein the six first mating terminals are numbered 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, and the two second mating terminals are numbered 3 and 5, wherein the orientation of the two second mating terminals numbered 3 and 5 is opposite to the orientation of the six first mating terminals.

6. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the two electrodes of one of the light-emitting elements are electrically connected to one of the six first mating terminals and one of the two second mating terminals numbered one or two and numbered three or six, respectively, and the two electrodes of the other light-emitting element are electrically connected to one of the six first mating terminals and one of the two second mating terminals numbered four or five and numbered seven or eight, respectively.

7. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing further includes a resilient portion disposed on one side of the housing near one of the terminal openings.

8. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing includes a lower housing and an upper housing, the lower housing and the upper housing together forming the receiving space.

9. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the lower housing has at least one first positioning structure, the upper housing has at least one second positioning structure, and the at least one first positioning structure is disposed on the at least one second positioning structure.

10. The power supply test connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light-emitting component further includes a plurality of protective elements disposed on the circuit board.
