Abstract

A power supply device includes a power supply housing having an accommodating space and an accommodating opening, a hybrid wire-to-wire connector structure and a circuit board disposed in the accommodating space. The hybrid wire-to-wire connector structure includes a connecting seat and an adapter seat. The connecting seat has a signal line terminal and a power line terminal. The connecting seat is disposed in the accommodating opening through an annular rib. The adapter seat has a signal conduction end and a power conduction end. The adapter seat has formed a hook corresponding to the annular rib. The connecting seat and the adapter seat are combined through the signal conduction end inserted in the signal line terminal, the power conduction end inserted in the power line terminal and the hook clamped with the annular rib. Therefore, the power and signal connectors are integrated so as to simplify the assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power supply device, comprising:
a power supply housing having an accommodating space and an accommodating opening;
a circuit board disposed in the accommodating space;
a hybrid type wire-to-wire connector structure, comprising
a connecting seat having a plurality of signal terminal slots and a plurality of power terminal slots; one end of the connecting seat extending to form an annular rib corresponding to the accommodating opening, and the connecting seat disposed in the accommodating opening through the annular rib; and
a conducting seat inserted on the circuit board, and the conducting seat including a plurality of signal holes and a plurality of power holes;

a plurality of signal wires, one end of each signal wire inserted in the signal hole and another end connected to the signal terminal slot;
a plurality of power wires, one end of each power wire inserted in the power hole and another end connected to the power terminal slot; and
an adapter seat having a plurality of signal conduction columns with respect to the signal terminal slots and a plurality of power conduction columns with respect to the power terminal slots, and the adapter seat extended with a hook corresponding to the annular rib, wherein the connecting seat and the adapter seat are combined through the signal conduction columns inserted in the signal terminal slots, the power conduction columns inserted in the power terminal slots, and the hook clamped with the annular rib.

2. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein depths of the signal terminal slots are greater than depths of the power terminal slots.

3. The power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein lengths of the signal conduction columns are greater than lengths of the power conduction columns.

4. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the annular rib has a notch corresponding to the hook, and the hook passes through the notch to be clamped in the accommodating opening.

5. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting seat has formed a pair of elastic arms on two opposite outer sides.
