Modular connector

Abstract

A modular connector is provided, which comprises: a front housing assembly, a rear housing, a first metal shell, and a second metal shell. The first metal shell includes a sleeve-shaped body defining a front mating opening, and the rear housing is formed with a rear mating opening. The front housing assembly is a composite structure composed of a front housing and a plurality of contacts. The front mating opening can be configured as a USB Type-A interface or a USB Type-C interface, while the rear mating opening can be configured as a card edge slot. With the above configuration, the modular connector is capable of being electrically connected with a circuit board in a non-soldered manner and can be replaced easily and quickly without causing damage to other adjacent components on the circuit board.
