ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a connector structure, and specifically, to a connector structure for integrating various connectors in a single unit that may greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing and finishing of the structure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In a prior art connector structure, connectors of various types are integrated into an assembling body, as described in Taiwan Patent Nos. 323857 and 334185. In the prior connectors, an insulating body is divided into a first body and a second body, and a first connector and a second connector of different types are combined into the first body and the second body, respectively. Therefore, as the connector is combined with a printed circuit board, it occupies a minimum space.
In the prior connector structure, individual insulating housings of the first connector and the second connector are assembled on the insulating body. The combined structure is relatively complex and is difficult to assemble. Another drawback is that the insulating housings of the first connector and the second connector are manufactured by separate moulding processes, thus making manufacturing and finishing cost-consuming, and the updating and maintenance of components difficult and time- and labor-consuming.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A connector structure comprises an insulating housing, a seat, a first connector and a second connector. The insulating housings of the first connector and the second connector are integrally formed in the insulating body so that the whole structure is simplified and is simple in assembling. Thus the cost of the overall module, manufacturing, and finishing is greatly reduced. The maintenance and updating of the components are easily performed.
The present invention will be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing to the following drawings in which:
