Connector housing with a connecting mechanism to prevent electromagnetic leakage near the insertion port
A connector housing comprises a plurality of walls enclosing a receiving space and defining an insertion port. Each of a pair of adjacent walls of the plurality of walls has one of a pair of connecting mechanisms at adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls near the insertion port. The pair of connecting mechanisms are complementary to each other and the adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls are connected to each other by the connecting mechanisms.
1. A connector housing, comprising:
a plurality of walls enclosing a receiving space and defining an insertion port, each of a pair of adjacent walls of the plurality of walls including a first wall defining a recess formed in an edge thereof, and a second wall defining an adjacent edge at least partially engaging with the recess formed in the first wall, the first wall and the second wall are orthogonal and have one of a pair of connecting mechanisms at adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls near the insertion port, the pair of connecting mechanisms are complementary to each other and the adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls abut each other and are connected to each other without a gap by the connecting mechanisms, the pair of connecting mechanisms including:
a wedge-shaped tooth extending from the recess of the first wall of the pair of adjacent walls; and
a wedge-shaped slot defined in the adjacent edge of the second wall of the pair of adjacent walls and arranged within the recess.
2. The connector housing of claim 1 , wherein the wedge-shaped tooth extends from the recess in a direction of the first wall and engages the wedge-shaped slot within the recess to connect the adjacent edges of the first wall and the second wall.
3. The connector housing of claim 2 , wherein the wedge-shaped tooth is inserted into the wedge-shaped slot to connect the adjacent edges of the first wall and the second wall.
4. The connector housing of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of elastic clips mounted on the plurality of walls near the insertion port.
5. The connector housing of claim 4 , wherein each elastic clip is connected to one of the plurality of walls by a rivet.
6. A connector housing, comprising:
a plurality of walls enclosing a receiving space and defining an insertion port, each of a pair of adjacent walls of the plurality of walls including a first wall defining a recess formed in an edge thereof, and a second wall defining an adjacent edge at least partially engaging with the recess formed in the first wall, the first wall and the second wall are orthogonal and have one of a pair of connecting mechanisms at adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls near the insertion port, the pair of connecting mechanisms are complementary to each other and the adjacent edges of the pair of adjacent walls abut each other and are connected to each other without a gap by the connecting mechanisms, the pair of connecting mechanisms including:
a dovetail joint extending from the recess of the first wall of the pair of adjacent walls; and
a dovetail groove formed in the adjacent edge of the second wall of the pair of adjacent walls and arranged at least partially within the recess.
7. The connector housing of claim 6 , wherein the dovetail joint engages the dovetail groove to connect the adjacent edges of the first wall and the second wall.
8. The connector housing of claim 7 , wherein the dovetail joint is bent at an angle of about 90 degrees and inserted into the dovetail groove to connect the adjacent edges of the first wall and the second wall.
