Electronic device and plug connector thereof
An electronic device includes a circuit module with a circuit board, and a plug connector with a supporting base, several terminals, and an outer shell. The terminals are disposed at the supporting base, and connected to the circuit board. The outer shell surrounds the supporting base, and has two parallel horizontal plates. Two extending plates are extended from a front surface of one of the horizontal plates. A slot is formed among that horizontal plate and the two extending plates. Via these arrangements, the out shell of the plug connector has the slot, so that the deformation of the outer shell is more easily caused. Thus, even if the assembly tolerance between the plug connector and the socket connector is deviated, the force for plugging or unplugging the plug connector would not be too abnormal. That is because the outer shell can be easily deformed to compensate for the deviation.
1. A plug connector of an electronic device comprising:
a supporting base;
a plurality of terminals, disposed at the supporting base; and
an outer shell, surrounding the supporting base and having a first horizontal plate and a second horizontal plate parallel to the first horizontal plate, wherein two first extending plates are extended from a front surface of the first horizontal plate, a first slot is formed among the first horizontal plate and the two first extending plates.
2. The plug connector of claim 1 , wherein rear ends of the terminals are welded to a circuit board of the electronic device.
3. The plug connector of claim 1 , further comprising a cable, wherein a front end of the cable is welded to rear ends of the terminals.
4. The plug connector of claim 1 , wherein an area of the supporting base, where the terminals are disposed, is corresponding to the first slot.
5. The plug connector of claim 1 , wherein two second extending plates are extended from a front surface of the second horizontal plate, a second slot is formed among the second horizontal plate and the second extending plates.
6. The plug connector of claim 1 , wherein the plug connector is a USB plug connector or a HDMI plug connector.
7. An electronic device comprising:
a circuit module, having a circuit board; and
a plug connector, comprising a supporting base, a plurality of terminals, and an outer shell, wherein the terminals are disposed at the supporting base, rear ends of the terminals are connected to the circuit board, the outer shell surrounds the supporting base and has a first horizontal plate and a second horizontal plate parallel to the first horizontal plate, two first extending plates are extended from a front surface of the first horizontal plate, a first slot is formed among the first horizontal plate and the two first extending plates.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein rear ends of the terminals are welded to the circuit board.
9. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein two second extending plates are extended from a front surface of the second horizontal plate, a second slot is formed among the second horizontal plate and the second extending plates.
10. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is a flash disk drive or a wireless communication device.
