Connector, docking station and connecting assembly with the connector

摘要

A connector, configured to extend a plurality of interfaces, includes a housing and a plurality of pins extending out of the housing. The housing is designed to accommodate a plurality of contacts spaced apart in sequentially numbered contact locations including HDMI contact locations designated for a HDMI port, configured to couple to at least one HDMI interface via HDMI pins of the plurality of pins; USB contact locations designated for a USB port; a power contact location designated for a power port; and a detection contact location designated for a detection port, configured to detect the types and quantities of the plurality of interfaces via a detection pin. A docking station and a connecting assembly with the connector are also provided.
