AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In composite connectors, the optical connection and electrical connection have different lengths, resulting in a complex waterproof plug structure with many types of components, making it difficult to achieve simple and effective waterproofing.

Method used

Using waterproof plugs and positioning components with the same structure, the rear ends of the waterproof plugs in the optical connection and electrical connection are aligned. The insertion depth is specified by the positioning components, which simplifies the shell structure and reduces the number of components.

Benefits of technology

A composite connector with a simple structure was achieved, reducing the number of components and ensuring effective waterproofing.

Abstract

The invention provides a composite connector, which has a simple structure, can suppress the types of components and can implement water prevention. A composite connector (1) is provided with: first and second connection sections (2, 3); a housing (4) provided with first and second housing parts (41, 42) in which the first and second connection parts are housed, respectively; and a first waterproof plug (5a) and a second waterproof plug (5b) which are respectively inserted into the first accommodating part and the second accommodating part from the rear end sides of the first accommodating part and the second accommodating part, and the rear end of the second connecting part is positioned closer to the front than the rear end of the first connecting part. The position of the rear end of the housing in the front-rear direction is aligned with the position of the first accommodating part and the position of the second accommodating part, and the second waterproof plug has the same structure as the first waterproof plug at least in a partial region of the rear end side. The insertion depth of the second waterproof plug into the second accommodating part is defined by a positioning member (7), so that the positions of the rear ends of the first waterproof plug and the second waterproof plug in the front-rear direction are mutually aligned.
