Electrical Plug Connector And An Electrothermal Article Including The Same

摘要

An electrical plug connector includes a housing, a connector unit and a temperature sensing unit. The housing includes a housing body defining a receiving space, and a shell extending from the housing body and defining a cavity. The shell is removably pluggable to a power supply. The connector unit includes a supporting tongue disposed in the receiving space and the cavity, a plurality of contacts provided on the supporting tongue, and a connector cable electrically interconnecting the contacts and an electronic device. The temperature sensing unit is disposed in at least one of the receiving space and the cavity for detecting a temperature associated with the supporting tongue.

主权项

1. An electrical plug connector to be used to electrically interconnect an electronic device and a power supply that includes a receptacle connector, said electrical plug connector comprising:
a housing which includes
a housing body defining a receiving space, anda shell extending from said housing body, defining a cavity in spatial communication with the receiving space, and having an opening opposite to said housing body and in spatial communication with the cavity, said shell being removably pluggable to the receptacle connector of the power supply; a connector unit which includes
a supporting tongue including a first portion which is disposed in the receiving space and which is surrounded by said housing body, and a second portion which extends from said first portion toward the opening and which is disposed in the cavity,a plurality of contacts provided on a surface of said second portion of said supporting tongue, anda connector cable having a first end which is electrically connected to said plurality of contacts and a second end which is opposite to the first end and which is to be electrically connected to the electronic device; and a temperature sensing unit disposed in at least one of the receiving space and the cavity for detecting a temperature associated with said supporting tongue.
