Abstract

An all-in-one electrical receptacle connector includes an audio connector body, an audio connector component, and an electrical connector. The audio connector component is assembled with an audio fixation groove of the audio connector body, and the electrical connector is assembled with a connector fixation groove of the audio connector body. Accordingly, the audio receptacle connector (audio jack) is assembled with receptacle connector(s) with different connection interfaces (e.g., Micro USB, USB type-C, HDMI) to have an all-in-one electrical receptacle connector including the audio receptacle connector and the electrical connector in the electronic product. Therefore, the waterproof function of the housing of the electronic product can be improved effectively.
