Connector structure

The present invention relates to a connector structure, and more particularly to a connector structure having a male and female end connectors.

In the prior art, a SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) connector is more and more widely used in various electronic devices, such as a notebook computer, a server, a network storage device, etc., which is a kind of Innovative hard disk transmission interface, which adopts serial transmission mode, can make signal transmission distance longer, avoids the electronic interference caused by high-speed parallel transmission, provides space for computer performance growth, improves data transmission performance and reliability, and at the same time It also improves the overall dynamics of the system.

Generally, the connector for SATA has an insulative housing, and the front end of the insulative housing is provided with a signal port and a power transmission port spaced apart from the signal port, and a plurality of conductive terminals and two independent wires are arranged in the signal port and the power transmission port. The front ends are respectively inserted into the slots at the rear end of the insulating body and overlapped with the plurality of conductive terminals assembled on the signal port and the power transmission port, and then the cover body is assembled to the rear end of the insulating body to fix the two independent wires to the insulating body. This completes the structure of the SATA line connector.

The signal 埠 set at the front end of the insulating body of the SATA connector and the power transmission port spaced from the signal 埠 may be a male connector or a female connector according to the design choice. Then solder it to the circuit board or assemble the fixed cable to form the board end connector or the wire end connector, respectively. However, such a conventional SATA connector has only a single type of joint structure, and is not a male end joint or a female end joint. Therefore, there are still some limitations in practical use, which are not completely in line with the needs of the current market.

Since the conventional SATA connector has only a single joint structure, and is not a male end joint or a female end joint, there are still some limitations in practical use, which may fail to meet the needs of customers.

The present invention provides a connector structure including a male connecting portion and a female connecting portion mounted on the male connecting portion, wherein the male connecting portion includes a male insulating body and a plurality of male conductive terminals disposed on the male insulating body, and the male insulating body The first tongue portion and the second tongue portion are spaced apart from the first tongue portion. One ends of the male conductive terminals extend to the first tongue portion and the second tongue portion to form a plurality of male contact portions. The other end of the conductive terminal forms a plurality of male connections. The female connecting portion includes a female insulating body and a plurality of female conductive terminals disposed on the female insulating body, the female insulating body includes a first connecting groove and a second connecting groove spaced apart from the first connecting groove, the female conductive terminals One end extends into the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove to form a plurality of female contact portions, and the other ends of the female conductive terminals form a plurality of female connecting portions, and the female connecting portions form electricity with the male connecting portions Sexual connection.

The connector structure provided by the present invention utilizes the male connector and the female connector to be integrated into one body. Since the male connector has a male connector and the female connector has a female connector, the structural design can solve the conventional connector. There is only a single joint structure that can not meet the customer's needs.
