Electrical connectors

Abstract

This invention relates to an electrical connector, comprising a first connector, a second connector disposed on one side of the first connector, a connecting element electrically connected at both ends to the first connector and the second connector respectively, and a common shielding shell. The common shielding shell includes a first shielding shell covering the top of the first connector, a second shielding shell covering the top of the second connector, and an integrally formed intermediate shielding shell connecting the first and second shielding shells. This structure forms a continuous electromagnetic shielding path from the second connector to the first connector at a lower cost, covering the signal transmission path of the connecting element, thereby improving overall anti-interference capability and signal stability while maintaining the design flexibility of existing modular configurations.

Claims

1. An electrical connector comprising: First connector; A second connector is disposed on one side of the first connector; A connecting element, with its two ends electrically connected to the first connector and the second connector, respectively; The common shielding shell includes: a first shielding shell covering the top of the first connector; a second shielding shell covering the top of the second connector; and an intermediate shielding shell integrally connecting the first shielding shell and the second shielding shell and covering the connecting element to form continuous electromagnetic shielding from the first connector to the second connector.

2. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein one side of the first shielding shell has at least one side connection portion that extends to one side of the second shielding shell.

3. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first shielding shell, the second shielding shell, or the intermediate shielding shell has a substrate positioning portion.

4. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first shielding shell has a plurality of first fixing portions for fixing the first connector.

5. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first connector is disposed on a circuit board, the first connector having at least one first fixing port, and the circuit board having a second fixing port corresponding to the first fixing port, for a fixing member to pass through the first fixing port and the second fixing port.

6. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second shielding shell has an opening corresponding to the insertion interface of the second connector, and the common shielding shell is integrally formed.

7. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second connector includes an insulating colloid, a transmission conductor assembly disposed on the insulating colloid, and a metal housing disposed on the insulating colloid, and the second shielding shell has a plurality of second fixing portions for fixing the metal housing.

8. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of the second fixing parts is fixed by means of clamping, snap-fit, or laser soldering.

9. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first connector is a wire-to-board connector, a board-to-board connector, or a flexible circuit board connector.

10. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second connector is a USB Type-A, USB Type-C, High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), or DisplayPort (DP).
