Retractable universal serial bus connector and retractable connector

摘要

A retractable USB connector includes a first module and a second module. The first module has a first insulating main body and a first conductive module formed with a plurality of first conductive terminals and a plurality of a second conductive terminals. The second module has a second insulating main body and a second conductive module. The second module is linearly movable along the first module. When the second module contacts the first and second conductive terminals, electrical connection is established. In contrast, when the second module is removed from the first and second conductive terminals, electrical connection is terminated as well.

1. A retractable Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector comprising:
a first module including:
a first insulating main body; anda first conductive module disposed in the first insulating main body and having a plurality of first conductive terminals and a plurality of second conductive terminals, each of the first conductive terminals formed with a separated pair of first contact portions and a separated pair of first mounting portions disposed on the opposite end of the first insulating main body, each of the second conductive terminals formed with a separated pair of second contact portions and a separated pair of second mounting portions disposed on the opposite end of the first insulating main body; and a second module disposed on the first module including:
a second insulating main body; anda second conductive module disposed in the second insulating main body and having a plurality of third conductive terminals and a plurality of fourth conductive terminals, each of the third conductive terminals formed with a third contact portion and a first conductive portion, and each of the fourth conductive terminals formed with a fourth contact portion and a second conductive portion; wherein the second module is divided into a front section and a rear section by a shaft assembly, and the front section is approximately from the third and fourth contact potions to the shaft assembly whereas the rear section is approximately from the shaft assembly to the second conductive portion; wherein the second module is linearly movable on the first module and configured to
allow electrical connection with the corresponding first and second contact portions when the second module contacts thereto.
