Abstract

A ring-shaped shrapnel structure of a High-Speed Modular Twisted Pair Data (H-MTD) male connector, including a housing, a ring-shaped sheet, and a shrapnel. The housing is a stepped hollow structure. The ring-shaped sheet is connected to the front end of the housing. The shrapnel in an arch-shape protrudes and is arranged on the ring-shaped sheet. The structure uses a split design to separate the shrapnel from the housing, thereby reducing production difficulties and improving yields, while complementing the shielding effect of the connector.

Claims (12)
