Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and particularly to a socket electrical connector.

Background Art

[0002] An electrical connector is a common electronic component on an electronic device, which is connected to a matching electrical connector on another electronic device to transmit signals and power between the two electronic devices. Regarding conventional electrical connectors, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.1 electrical connector may be mentioned. In the current USB 3.1 protocol, the specification of the Type C electrical connector is newly added, which can provide a super-high-speed data transmission speed of 10 Gbps, and its volume is light and small, so it is suitable for portable devices such as mobile phones. The insertion port is symmetrical and can be inserted in either direction, so it can be widely applied to various electronic devices.

[0003] The Type C electrical connector provided on a product device adjusts the mounting height of the Type C electrical connector itself according to the height requirements of the panel opening. After the Type C electrical connector is mounted on the circuit board, its insertion port corresponds to the opening position of the device panel. As a conventional method, the overall height of the Type C electrical connector is increased. When the height of the Type C electrical connector is increased, the higher the height, the lower the stability after being mounted on the circuit board proportionally. That is, the higher the Type C electrical connector, the worse the stability after mounting. Therefore, due to the lack of assembly strength, problems such as detachment from the circuit board or shaking are likely to occur.
