Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an RJ45 connector, and more particularly to a novel waterproof RJ45 connector, belonging to the technical field of RJ45 connectors. Background Technology

[0002] The RJ45 connector is a standardized network interface widely used in Ethernet communication. It adopts an 8P8C structure, contains 8 terminals, and is mainly used for twisted-pair cable connections to ensure standardized and stable communication between network devices.

[0003] The terminals of existing RJ45 connectors are not securely connected, and the elastic contacts do not make tight contact with the corresponding plugs, affecting the electrical connection yield and signal transmission stability. The rear solder joints are not properly sealed, allowing water to enter and causing leakage in the internal components of the plastic housing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing RJ45 connectors, such as unstable terminal connections affecting electrical connection yield and inadequate sealing at the rear solder joint, which makes them prone to water ingress. This invention provides a new type of waterproof RJ45 connector that achieves stable terminal connections without affecting electrical connection yield, and ensures a tight seal at the front and rear solder joints to prevent water ingress.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel waterproof RJ45 connector, comprising a plastic shell, a terminal assembly, and a rear cover; the terminal assembly is disposed within the plastic shell; the terminal assembly includes a terminal group and an assembly body, the terminal group including 8 terminals; each terminal includes a forward-bending elastic contact portion, a middle retaining portion, and a rear soldering foot portion, totaling 8 soldering feet; the 8 soldering feet include 4 upper soldering feet and 4 lower soldering feet;

[0006] The upper part of the back cover has four square through holes, the shape and size of which match the shape and size of the lower welding feet. The four lower welding feet are respectively inserted into the four square through holes and fixedly connected by electric welding. The upper end of the back cover, above the four square through holes, has four clearance grooves, the shape and size of which match the shape and size of the upper welding feet. The four upper welding feet are respectively inserted into the four clearance grooves and fixedly connected by electric welding. The assembly structure of the upper and lower welding feet with the back cover ensures the stability of the upper and lower welding feet.

[0007] It also includes a rubber sealing ring and a waterproof adhesive layer; the rubber sealing ring is set on the front end face of the plastic shell; waterproof adhesive is applied at the welded end of the rear cover to form a waterproof adhesive layer, which isolates the potential for water to enter from the outside and inside.

[0008] The plastic shell is made of one-piece injection molded plastic or plastic.

[0009] The rubber sealing ring is made of insulating rubber material and has good waterproof properties, which can prevent moisture from entering, keep the inside of the plastic shell dry, prevent water seepage and avoid damage to the internal circuit.

[0010] The assembly body is provided with a terminal slot, and the middle retaining part of the terminal group is fixedly installed in the terminal slot of the assembly body by plastic die casting.

[0011] The included angle α between the middle retaining part and the elastic contact part of the terminal group is 60-64°, which ensures that each elastic contact part can make 100% complete contact with the corresponding plug, thereby improving the electrical connection yield and the stability of signal transmission.

[0012] The back cover has two horizontal grooves on both sides of the middle section, and the plastic shell has two cylindrical plastic feet that extend backward from the two horizontal grooves respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the assembly structure of the upper and lower welding feet with the back cover ensures the stability of the upper and lower welding feet; the rubber sealing ring is set on the front end face of the plastic shell, and the rear welding point is sealed with a waterproof adhesive layer, which isolates the potential for water to enter from the outside and inside.
