Modular electrical connector

摘要

The present invention relates to a modular electrical connector, and the modular electrical connector can be divided into three modules including: housing, connecting modules, and RJ45 receiving modules, wherein the housing is used for disposed on a circuit board of an external host case, and the connecting modules and the RJ45 receiving modules are assembled and disposed in the housing so as to electrically connected with the circuit board; according to the modular design of the present invention, the RJ45 receiving modules are able to be individually disassembled from the connecting modules and the connector, thus, user does not have to disassembles whole connector during the RJ45 connector's repairing or replacing process.

主权项

1. A modular electrical connector, comprising:
a housing, being disposed on a circuit board of an external host case, and having a receiving space; at least one connecting module, being disposed in the receiving space, and comprising:
a first insulating body; anda plurality of connecting terminals, being electrically connected with the circuit board, wherein each of the connecting terminals have a contact portion; and at least one RJ45 receiving module, being disposed into the receiving space and opposite to the connecting module, wherein the RJ45 receiving module is used for receiving an external RJ45 plugs; moreover, the RJ45 receiving module comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) and a plurality of electrical terminals electrically connected to the PCB; wherein the PCB of the RJ45 receiving module is formed with an edge-board contact portion, and the edge-board contact portion would connect with the contact portions of the connecting terminals when the receiving module is disposed in the receiving space, such that the electrical terminals are electrically connected with the connecting terminals and wherein the first insulating body is formed with a slot, and the connecting portions of the connecting terminals are designed to comprise up-row connecting portions and down-row connecting portions for being disposed on the inner walls of the slot therefore, when the RJ45 receiving module is inserted into the receiving space, the PCB is inserted into the slot by the rear thereof, and the up-row and down-row connecting portions contacting with the both sides of the edge-board contact portion of the PCB.
