Abstract

An orthogonal female connector includes a plurality of terminal components, a main body, and a shell; the terminal components inserted in the main body and including a 40-pin, a 15-pin, a 7-pin, and a 6-pin terminal members; the terminal components having a board end and a plug end; the board end formed on a lower portion of the terminal component and combined on a printed circuit board; the plug end formed on an anterior portion of the terminal component and connected with a solid state disk interface; an angle included by pins of the board end and the plug end being 90 degrees; such that the 40-pin, 15-pin, 7-pin, and 6-pin terminal members are applied to be connected with a PSAS male connector; and the 15-pin and 7-pin terminal members are corporately applied to be connected with a SAS male connector, simplifying the structure and lowering cost.

Claims (11)

1. An orthogonal female connector is provided, comprising:

a plurality of terminal components, a main body, and a shell;

the terminal components being inserted in the main body and including a 40-pin terminal member, a 15-pin terminal member, a 7-pin terminal member, and a 6-pin terminal member; each of the terminal components having a board end and a plug end; the board end being formed on a lower portion of the terminal component to be combined on a printed circuit board; the plug end being formed on an anterior portion of the terminal component to be connected with a solid state disk interface; an angle included by pins of the board end and pins of the plug end being 90 degrees;

the main body comprising two engagement points disposed on two sides of the main body;

the shell comprising two engagement slots disposed on two sides of the shell;

such that, the 40-pin terminal member, the 15-pin terminal member, the 7-pin terminal member, and the 6-pin terminal member are corporately applied to be connected with a PSAS male connector; and the 15-pin terminal member and the 7-pin terminal member are corporately applied to be connected with a SAS male connector; and

when the main body and the shell are combined, the engagement points are correspondingly engaged in the engagement slots.

2. The orthogonal female connector of claim 1 , wherein the 40-pin terminal member includes a first terminal member part and a second terminal member part; the first terminal member part is an 18-pin terminal member, and the second terminal member part is a 22-pin terminal member; when a terminal seat plate of the first terminal member part and a terminal seat plate of the second terminal member part are overlapped, pins of the first terminal member part and pins of the second terminal member part form a total of forty pins that are arranged in a linear alignment.

3. The orthogonal female connector of claim 1 , wherein when the terminal seat plate of the first terminal member part and the terminal seat plate of the second terminal member part are overlapped, a combination of the two terminal seat plates has a thickness of twenty-four millimeters.

4. The orthogonal female connector of claim 1 , wherein when at least two orthogonal female connectors are combined on the printed circuit board simultaneously, the plug ends of the orthogonal female connectors are plugged with a solid state disk interface, respectively.

5. The orthogonal female connector of claim 1 , wherein the main body is formed of an insulation plastic material; the shell is formed of a metal material and mounted on a rear end of the terminal components.
