[0027] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the probe PIN. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a dual-purpose high-speed connector, including a connector housing and a connector socket embedded in the connector housing. A mating space 100 is formed between the connector socket and the connector housing. The connector socket includes a main body 1, a protective plate 2 assembled at the first end of the main body 1, and a plurality of upper terminals 3 and a plurality of lower terminals 4 assembled at the second end of the main body 1. The main body 1 is also equipped with a probe pin 5 that extends into the mating space 100.

[0030] More specifically, multiple upper terminals 3 and multiple lower terminals 4 form a 20-pin structure, which can simultaneously accommodate HDMI or DP plugs.

[0031] In actual use, when an external DP plug is inserted, the detection pin 5 touches the DP plug and outputs a DP signal. However, when an HDMI plug is inserted, the detection pin 5 does not touch the HDMI plug, thus defaulting to HDMI application.

[0032] This ingenious structural design enables a single connector to simultaneously match two different male mats.

[0033] To better explain the working principle of this utility model, such as Figures 4-5 The diagram uses dashed lines to indicate the status of the external DP and HDMI plugs when they are inserted.

[0034] In a further technical solution, the detection PIN needle 5 includes a needle body 50, a needle foot 51 extending from the needle body 50 to a first end, a connecting part 52 bent from the needle body 50 to a second end, and an elastic contact arm 53 extending from the connecting part 52. The elastic contact arm 53 extends into the insertion space 100.

[0035] The needle body 50 is formed with an elastic buckle 54 that can be fastened to the main body 1.

[0036] The probe pin 5 is assembled to the main body 1 via the pin body 50 and is secured to the main body 1 by the elastic buckle 54.

[0037] More specifically, the elastic contact arm 53 has a contact protrusion 530, which is used to engage with an external DP plug. When the DP plug is inserted, the DP plug squeezes the contact protrusion 530 to form a trigger detection PIN 5.

[0038] In addition, the elastic contact arm 53 has a stop hook 531, the connector housing has a relief groove, the elastic contact arm 53 is located in the relief groove, the stop hook 531 passes through the relief groove and abuts against the connector housing. By setting the stop hook 531, the elastic contact arm 53 can be effectively positioned to prevent the elastic contact arm 53 from being excessively deformed or dislodged.

[0039] In a further technical solution, the main body 1 is formed with a slot 10, the guard plate 2 is formed with a first pin hole, the needle body 50 is accommodated in the slot 10, and the needle foot 51 passes through the first pin hole.

[0040] In a more specific implementation, the connector socket is further provided with a foolproof component 6, the main body 1 is formed with a receiving hole 11, the foolproof component 6 is disposed in the receiving hole 11, and the foolproof component 6 extends into the insertion space 100.

[0041] When the external DP plug is inserted, the foolproof component 6 is concealed inside the DP plug, while the detection PIN 5 provides a DP signal application.

[0042] When the external HDMI plug is inserted, the anti-fooling component 6 stops the HDMI plug from the outer wall, which effectively prevents the HDMI plug from tilting or shifting to one side, causing signal misalignment and abnormal contact. At the same time, the space left on the left side prevents the detection PIN 5 from receiving a signal.

[0043] In a further technical solution, the connector housing is formed with a foolproof spring 70 located in the insertion space 100. The foolproof spring 70 is used to stop the foolproof part 6 and prevent the male head from being damaged by a large force when inserted. A reinforcing spring is added to the outer shell to prevent deformation.

[0044] The anti-foolproof component 6 includes an anti-foolproof seat 60 riveted to the receiving hole 11 and an anti-foolproof post 61 extending from the anti-foolproof seat 60. The anti-foolproof seat 60 is formed with a positioning protrusion 600.

[0045] The connector housing includes an inner housing 7 and an outer housing 8. The connector socket is riveted inside the inner housing 7, and the outer housing 8 covers the outside of the inner housing 7.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
