ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a signal wire of a connector, and especially to connecting wire which is used to a circuit board of a computer or other related circuit board. Not only the assembly work is easy, but also the user may use it conveniently.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, a prior art connector is illustrated. The connector includes a plug
10
. The plug
10
is firmly secured to a circuit board
14
. The plug
10
has two connecting bodies
11
. A rear side of the connecting body
11
is installed with a plate
111
. The plate
111
is capable of being connected to a computer panel
112
. The plate
111
and the computer panel
112
can be screwed together by two screws
113
.
The front side of each connecting body
11
is formed with a slot
12
. The slot
12
may be inserted by a plug (not shown) of a computer peripheral (such as a mouse, a modem, etc.). A plurality of terminals
13
are installed in the slot
12
. Each terminal extends out of the plug
10
. The extending terminal
13
can be inserted to a circuit board
14
so that the computer peripheral can work successfully.
However, since the plug
10
must be firmly secured to the circuit board
14
and is inserted to a computer peripheral so that the computer peripheral can operate successfully. The plug
10
has a preset volume, and therefore, the updating work of the circuit board
14
is difficult due to an insufficient space.
Moreover, the plug
10
must be firmly secured to the circuit board
14
, and thus the plug
10
and slot
12
are only fixed to one side of the circuit board
14
. However, currently, there are many computer peripherals. If the device is not compatible to the plug
10
at one side of the circuit board
14
, a further adaptor is necessary, thereby, the cost burden of the user is increased.
Furthermore, since the plate
111
and computer panel
112
must be screwedly locked by screw
113
. The screw opener are necessary to assembly the two. This is convenient since the opener is often lost or forget. Moreover, if the locking force of the screw is too large, the thread is easy to be damaged so that the screw
113
will rotate idly. The screw must be assembled again. Thus, the resource is wasted and the assembly cost is increased. However, these are inconvenient and necessary to be improved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a signal wire of a connector, wherein the installing position and inserting direction of the plug can be adjusted effectively so as to avoid that the computer is difficult in assembly and updating due to an insufficient internal space. Various computer peripherals can be used with the present invention. No extra adaptor (not shown) is necessary. The cost is saved and the assembly work is convenient.
To achieve the objects, the present invention provides a signal wire of a connector including a housing, a connecting casing, a plug, a soft cable, and a connector. The front side of the plug is installed with two trenches. Terminals are installed in the trenches. The trenches can be inserted by a computer peripheral. The rear side of the plug is connected to the soft cable. The soft cable encloses a plurality of wires. The soft cable and the wires pass out of the round hole of the connecting casing. One end of the wire is firmly secured to the terminal in the trench. Another end of the wire is connected to a connector. The connector can be connected to a circuit board of a computer. The soft cable is bendable so as to avoid that the plug is only inserted to one side of the circuit board. The position of the circuit board can be adjusted conveniently. The assembly work is easy.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
