AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the installation method of the light guide component makes assembly or disassembly inconvenient and may damage the strength and electromagnetic shielding effect of the guide frame, especially when multiple guide frames are set side by side and cannot be disassembled.

Method used

The structure combines a housing and a light guide. The light guide is installed on the outer side of the housing through the design of the lower and upper locking parts. The lower and upper locking parts are used to achieve simple assembly and disassembly while maintaining the electromagnetic shielding effect.

Benefits of technology

It achieves stable installation of light guides, simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, maintains the electromagnetic shielding effect, and supports easy disassembly and replacement of light guides when multiple covers are arranged side by side.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a connector assembly comprising a housing and a light guide. The housing has a top wall, a side wall, a bottom wall, a front end opening, and a light guide mounting structure disposed on the outside of the side wall. The light guide mounting structure has a lower mating lock portion disposed on the lower side and an upper mating lock portion disposed on the upper side. The light guide has a lower lock portion disposed on the lower side and configured to be assembled to the lower mating lock portion correspondingly, and an upper lock portion disposed on the upper side and configured to be assembled to the upper mating lock portion correspondingly. Since the light guide mounting structure for assembling the light guide is configured on the outside of the side wall of the housing, the side wall of the housing does not need to be configured with a hole or a hole, thereby helping to maintain electromagnetic shielding effect.
