Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to an RJ45 connector with a rear cover. Background Art
[0002] The RJ45 connector is a commonly used interface device in network equipment, and its function is to connect network cables and network equipment.
[0003] The RJ45 connector has an LED light. During the production process, when the LED pin is forced to retract, there is no support behind the LED pin. The root of the LED pin will be deformed and contact the shell, causing a short circuit between the LED pin and the shell, resulting in malfunction. For example, a Chinese patent with application number "202222486049.5" discloses an RJ45 connector with misaligned terminals, in which the pin of the LED light is directly bent and pressed into the plastic shell, which is prone to the above problems.
[0004] In order to prevent the problem of short circuit, the existing practice is to stick Mylar tape on the plastic bracket to isolate the pins of the LED lamp from the shell to prevent the two pins from contacting the shell and causing a short circuit. However, during the actual installation process, the front end of the pin may be subjected to force, which may cause the rear end of the pin to arch, causing the Mylar tape to break, resulting in short circuits or poor contact, and may also cause the shell to deform, affecting the appearance and use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] An RJ45 connector with a back cover comprises a plastic bracket, wherein at least one lamp hole is provided at the front end of the plastic bracket, each of which is provided with an LED lamp, and a groove corresponding to the lamp hole is provided at the rear end of the plastic bracket, and the pin of the LED lamp passes through the rear end of the lamp hole and is pressed into the groove, and the pin of the LED lamp passes through the bottom of the groove, and an insulating back cover is provided at the rear end of the plastic bracket for pressing the pin to prevent it from arching, and a shell covering the plastic bracket is also provided on the outside.
[0007] Preferably, a card slot is formed on the rear end of the plastic bracket, and a card block that engages with the card slot is provided at the bottom of the insulating rear cover.
[0008] Preferably, the rear end of the insulating rear cover extends downward to form a supporting portion for supporting the corners of the pins.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the groove has a fixing groove for clamping the lower part of the pin.
[0010] Preferably, the opening of the fixing groove is in a trumpet shape, and the cross section of the lower portion thereof is smaller than the cross section of the fixing groove.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove for limiting the pin is also provided on the upper portion of the fixing groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is an RJ45 connector with a back cover, which can replace the Mylar tape to play an insulating role by setting the insulating back cover, saving the Mylar process. At the same time, after the insulating back cover is set, the pins can be pressed to prevent them from lifting the shell and causing deformation of the shell.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment of the utility model, an RJ45 connector with a back cover includes a plastic bracket 1, at least one lamp hole 2 is provided at the front end of the plastic bracket 1, and LED lamps 3 are provided in the lamp holes 2. A groove 4 corresponding to the lamp hole 2 is provided at the rear end of the plastic bracket 1, and the pins of the LED lamps 3 pass through the rear end of the lamp hole 2 and are pressed into the groove 4, and the pins of the LED lamps 3 pass through the bottom of the groove 4, and an insulating back cover 5 for pressing the pins to prevent them from arching is provided on the rear end of the plastic bracket 1, and a shell 6 covering the plastic bracket 1 is also provided on the outside;
[0023] In the past, when installing the RJ45 connector, after assembling the LED lamp 3, it is necessary to stick Mylar tape on the plastic bracket 1 to isolate the pins of the LED lamp 3 from the housing 6 to prevent the two pins from contacting the housing 6 and causing a short circuit. However, during the actual installation process, after the front end of the pin is subjected to force, the rear end of the pin may be arched, which may cause the Mylar tape to be damaged, resulting in problems such as short circuit or poor contact, and may also cause the housing 6 to deform, affecting the appearance and use;
[0024] In the present invention, the insulating back cover 5 can replace the Mylar tape to play an insulating role. At the same time, after the insulating back cover 5 is provided, the pins can be pressed to prevent them from lifting the shell 6 and causing the shell 6 to deform.
[0025] Furthermore, a slot 7 is formed on the rear end of the plastic bracket 1, and a block 8 engaging with the slot 7 is provided at the bottom of the insulating rear cover 5. By providing the engagement between the block 8 and the slot 7, the insulating rear cover 5 can be quickly installed.
[0026] Furthermore, the rear end of the insulating back cover 5 extends downward to form a support portion 9 for supporting the corner of the pin. When the front end of the pin is subjected to force, the force will be transmitted to the corner, so the corner of the pin will be deformed, causing the entire pin to shrink inward. By providing the support portion 9, the corner of the pin can be supported and will not be deformed after being subjected to force.
[0027] Furthermore, the lower end of the groove 4 has a fixing groove 10 for clamping the lower part of the pin. The lower part of the pin is fixed by the fixing groove 10, which can prevent the front end of the pin from being deformed by force.
[0028] Furthermore, the opening of the fixing groove 10 is in the shape of a trumpet, and the cross-section of its lower part is smaller than the cross-section of the fixing groove 10. By setting the opening of the fixing groove 10 to the shape of a trumpet mouth, it is convenient for the pin to be inserted into the fixing groove 10. It should be noted that the opening of the card slot 7 can be deformed after being subjected to force, and the pin can be inserted into the fixing groove 10. Since the lower part of the opening is smaller than the groove 4, the pin can be inserted into the fixing groove 10 for fixation.
[0029] Furthermore, a limiting groove 11 for limiting the pin is provided on the upper part of the fixing groove 10. Since the pin passes through the upper part of the plastic shell and is then bent and pressed into the groove 4, the front end of the pin may not only deform upward and arch after being subjected to force, but may also deform left and right and bend. Therefore, by setting the limiting groove 11, the pin can be prevented from bending left and right. In addition, the opening of the limiting groove can also be set to a shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom to facilitate the insertion of the pin.
[0030] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
