Abstract

A connector includes an insulation body, a first pin row, a second pin row, a first connection terminal row and a second connection terminal row. The insulation body includes a division portion and defines a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove positioned at two opposite sides of the division portion. The first pin row and the second pin row are attached to two opposite sides of the division portion. One of the ends of the first connection terminal row electrically connect to a motherboard, the other one of the ends of the first connection terminal row connect to the first pin row. One of the ends of the second connection terminal row electrically connect to the motherboard, the other one of the ends of the second connection terminal row connect to the second pin row. The disclosure also provides a data cable to connect the connector.

First claim

1 . A connector comprising:

2 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulation body comprises a bottom portion and a sidewall surrounding the edge of the bottom portion, the bottom portion and a sidewall together define the opening.

3 . The connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sidewall comprises two opposite first sidewalls and two opposite second sidewalls, the two first sidewalls are attached to the two second sidewalls.

4 . The connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the two first sidewalls are parallel to each other, the two second sidewalls are parallel to each other.

5 . The connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the division portion is perpendicular attached to the bottom portion and parallel positioned between the two first sidewalls.

6 . The connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first pin row and the second pin row are perpendicular to the bottom portion and attached to two sides of the division portion facing to the two first sidewalls.

7 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulation body further comprises a clasping member attached to a side of the bottom portion facing the motherboard, the clasping member is configured to attached to the motherboard.

8 . The connector as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the clasping member comprises two elastic members, a gap is defined between the two elastic members, an end of the elastic member away from the bottom portion comprises a hook portion.

9 . A connector comprising:
an insulation body defining an opening; a divider dividing the opening into a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove; a first row of pins mounted on a first side of the divider; a second row of pins mounted on a second side of the divider; a first row of terminals attached to the insulation body, one of the ends of the first row of terminals configured to be electrically connected to a motherboard, the other one of the ends of the first row of terminals connecting to the first row of pins; and a second row of terminals attached to the insulation body, one of the ends of the second row of terminals configured to be electrically connected to the motherboard, the other one of the ends of the second row of terminals connecting to the second row of pins.

10 . The connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the insulation body comprises a bottom portion and a sidewall surrounding the edge of the bottom portion, the bottom portion and a sidewall together define the opening.

11 . The connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the sidewall comprises two opposite first sidewalls and two opposite second sidewalls, the two first sidewalls are attached to the two second sidewalls.

12 . The connector as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the two first sidewalls are parallel to each other, the two second sidewalls are parallel to each other.

13 . The connector as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the divider is perpendicular attached to the bottom portion and parallel positioned between the two first sidewalls.

14 . The connector as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first pin row and the second pin row are perpendicular to the bottom portion and attached to two sides of the divider facing to the two first sidewalls.

15 . The connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the insulation body further comprises a clasping member attached to a side of the bottom portion facing the motherboard, the clasping member is configured to attached to the motherboard.

16 . The connector as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the clasping member comprises two elastic members, a gap is defined between the two elastic members, an end of the elastic member away from the bottom portion comprises a hook portion.

17 . A data cable comprising:
a cable body; a connection port attached to one end of the cable body and configured to connect a connector, the connection port defining a slot, a first terminal row and a second terminal row being attached in the slot, the first terminal row are opposite to the second terminal row; a first data port attached to the other end of the cable body configure to connect to a first storage device; and a second data port attached to the said other end of the cable body configure to connect to a second storage device.

18 . The data cable as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the first data port is same to the second data port.

19 . The data cable as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the cable body includes a first cable and a second cable, the first cable and the second cable are respectively connected to the first row terminal and the second row terminal.

20 . The data cable as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the first terminal row and the second terminal row transmit same signals from the connector to the first data port and the second data port.
