Stacking connector having a RJ-45 connector stacked over a USB connector with power and ground pins

摘要

A stacking connector comprises an insulating body, a plurality of connection terminals and a USB connector. The insulating body has a first containing space and a second containing space. A plurality of terminal slots is defined in a connection port of the insulating body and communicates with the first containing space. The plurality of connection terminals is configured in the first containing space, and exposed to the connection port to constitute a RJ-45 connector with the connection port. The USB connector is configured in the second containing space. Power pin and ground pin of the USB connector are electrically connected to NC pins of the plurality of connection terminals separately. Therefore, the USB connector receives power from a mainboard to provide to the RJ-45 connector. In contrary, the RJ-45 connector receives power by way of PoE to provide to the USB connector.

主权项

1. A stacking connector comprising:
an insulating body having a first containing space defined inward from a rear face, and having a second containing space and a connection port defined inward from a front face, and a plurality of terminal slots being defined in the connection port and passed through the connection port and the first containing space; a plurality of connection terminals, being configured in the first containing space, one end of each of the plurality of connection terminals being extended frontward through the plurality of terminal slots and exposed in the connection port, so as to constitute a RJ-45 connector with the connection port; a USB connector being configured in the second containing space, the USB connector comprising a plurality of conductive terminals, a power pin and a ground pin of the plurality of conductive terminals being electrically connected to two pins of the plurality of connection terminals separately, the two connected pins being not-connected (NC) pins of the RJ-45 connector; and a metal case, encapsulating the insulating body, the plurality of connection terminals and the USB connector for proving shielding effect.
