ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Filed of the Invention
This invention relates to an electric connector and particularly to an electric connector that includes a circuit board for connecting electricity and providing change or process function on input signals to produce other function such as rectification, improved throughput, and cross talk prevention.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Electric connectors are widely used in household appliances, information products, communication devices and the like for establishing electric connection between input current and output current. A conventional connector usually has a terminal with one end for input and another end for output to connect an electric power source with an electric device. However rapid technology innovation in telecommunication products and compact size requirements have created new demands for the connector, such as to include additional function (e.g., rectification, cross talk prevention), adding various type of electronic components (e.g., capacitor, resistor, etc.) to enhance its function etc.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of aforesaid the issues, it is therefore an object of this invention to provide an electric connector which includes a circuit board so that in addition to connecting electricity from a power source to an electric device, the connector may offer other desired functions such as rectification, prevention and the like. It thus becomes more versatile and has greater added value.
According to one aspect of this invention, the connector includes a body a substantially L-shaped terminal board with a cavity for including input and output terminals located therein and a circuit board engageable with the cavity for coupling with the input and output terminals. Hence besides establishing electricity connection like a conventional connector, the circuit board may provide a wide variety of desired functions and making the connector more useful and valuable.
