Abstract

A connector includes a base, a transmission interface, a shielding cover and a shielding layer. The base includes a slot. The transmission interface includes a clamping portion and a plugboard. The clamping portion is clamped in the slot and a portion of the plugboard protrudes out of the base. The shielding cover has an accommodation space and a shielding layer. The accommodation space is disposed to accommodate the base and the transmission interface, and the shielding layer is electroplated on an inner side surface of the shielding cover. The shielding cover covers the base and the transmission interface and is disposed to block electromagnetic waves generated by the transmission interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical connector, adapted to be disposed on a circuit board, wherein the connector comprises:
a base, comprising a slot, wherein the base is fixed on the circuit board;
a transmission interface, comprising a plugboard and a clamping portion, wherein the clamping portion is clamped in the slot and a portion of the plugboard protrudes out of the base;
a shielding cover, having an accommodation space, wherein the accommodation space is configured to accommodate the base and the transmission interface; and
a shielding layer, electroplated on an inner side surface of the shielding cover, wherein the shielding cover covers the base and the transmission interface and is configured to block electromagnetic waves generated by the transmission interface,
wherein the shielding cover completely covers the base and the transmission interface.

2. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a plurality of first pins separately extending from the inside of the slot to the outside of the base, and the first pins are soldered on the circuit board.

3. The electrical connector according to claim 2 , wherein the transmission interface comprises a plurality of second pins separately extending from the plugboard to the clamping portion, and the second pins are electrically coupled to the first pins respectively.

4. The electrical connector according to claim 3 , wherein the plugboard, the clamping portion and the second pins are integrally formed.

5. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the plugboard protrudes out of the base in a horizontal direction, and the clamping portion is perpendicular to the plugboard to form an L shape.

6. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding cover comprises a plurality of positioning posts disposed outside the accommodation space, and the positioning posts are soldered on the circuit board.

7. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer housing sleeved on the plugboard and adapted to contact the inner side surface of the shielding cover.

8. The electrical connector according to claim 7 , wherein a conductive layer adapted to be electrically coupled to the shielding layer is disposed on an outer side surface of the outer housing.

9. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding cover is made of a liquid crystal polymer.

10. The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission interface complies with a transmission specification of a third-generation universal serial bus (USB3.0/3.1).
