Pluggable connection device

Abstract

A pluggable connection device includes a first connector and a second connector. The shells (i.e., inner shell and outer shell) of the first connector and the second connector have a power module, a signal module, and a coaxial module disposed inside, and the wires are fixed in a glue pouring manner, so as to reduce parts and simplify structures. Both the signal module and the coaxial module have metal shielding shells to provide a shielding effect, thereby being more flexible in use to adapt to different requirements. The signal interference of different modules in a same connector can be effectively avoided, and the weight is reduced.
