Electronic apparatus and connector
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a connector into which a plug is insertable. The connector includes a housing and a terminal portion provided in the housing. The housing includes an insertion opening part which exposes the terminal portion outside, a back part positioned at an end part opposite to the insertion opening part in the housing, and a side part provided between the insertion opening part and the back part and configured to oppose to the plug when the plug is inserted into the connector. The side part includes an inclined part which continues to the insertion opening part and is inclined such that a distance between the inclined part and the plug increases in a direction from the back part toward the insertion opening part to form a gap between the inclined part and the plug.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a case comprising an open portion; and,
a connector in the case exposed to the outside of the case through the open portion and configured to selectively connect to a first plug and a second plug different than the first plug,
wherein the connector comprises:
a housing, and
a terminal portion in the housing;
the housing comprises:
an insertion open portion configured to expose the terminal portion to the outside of the housing;
first walls;
second walls; and
a back wall positioned opposite to the insertion open portion,
wherein the first walls and the second walls are between the insertion open portion and the back wall and the first walls have a first width between them at the insertion open portion and the second walls have a second width between them at the insertion open portion,
wherein each first wall comprises a proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion and a distal portion perpendicular to the back wall, wherein the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion is not perpendicular to the back wall,
wherein the length of the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion is equal to or larger than half of the length of each first wall,
wherein the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion extends to the insertion open portion.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first walls face each other.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion is in a region away from the second plug when the second plug is inserted into the connector.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each first wall of the housing comprises a first region configured to face the first plug, and each second wall comprises a second region configured to face the second plug, and
the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion is in the first region.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the first region and the second region are partially overlapped with each other, and
the proximal, sloped, substantially straight portion is in the first region away from the second region.
6. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a case comprising an open portion; and,
a connector in the case exposed to the outside of the case through the open portion and configured to selectively connect to a first plug and a second plug different than the first plug,
wherein the connector comprises:
a housing; and
a terminal portion in the housing,
the housing comprises:
an insertion open portion configured to expose the terminal portion to the outside of the housing;
a wall;
comprising a first sloped portion extending to the open portion and a second portion, wherein no portion of the first sloped portion is parallel to the second portion, and the length of the first sloped portion is equal to or larger than half of the length of the wall.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 wherein the insertion open portion comprises a first width in a first region and a second width in a second region.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 wherein the insertion open portion further comprises a third width.
9. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first sloped portion comprises a straight line extending from the mating section between the first sloped portion and the second portion to the insertion open portion.
