Abstract

Abstract A RJ-receptacle connector with anti-incorrect-insertion device comprises a housing defining a receiving space for electrically receiving a complementary plug connector therein. A terminal insert is adapted to be arranged to the housing and includes a plurality of terminals integrally formed thereof. Each terminal includes a contact portion extending into the receiving space, and a solder tail extends downward from a bottom face of the housing. Anti-incorrect-insertion device is arranged in an entrance of the receiving space and blocking insertion of other connectors except the complementary plug connector.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 239 words
A RJ-receptacle connector with anti-incorrect-insertion device, comprising: a housing defining a receiving space for electrically receiving a complementary plug connector therein; a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing, each terminal including a contact portion extending into said receiving space, and a solder tail extending downward from a bottom face of said housing; and anti-incorrect-insertion means arranged in an entrance of said receiving space and blocking insertion of other connectors except the complementary plug connector; wherein said blocking bar is pivotably attached to said base by a pair of hinges; wherein each of said hinges includes an inclined surface such that said blocking bar is rotated downwardly when said inclined surface is pushed backward by the complementary plug connector; wherein said hinges are distant from each other such that said inclined surfaces will not be physically engaged by a plug connector other than said complementary plug connector; wherein said blocking bar includes a front face being perpendicular to said base; wherein a pair of tabs extends rearwardly from said blocking bar, each tab including an inclined portion for being further depressed by said inserted complementary plug connector; wherein said base includes a pair of fangs physically engaged in corresponding recesses defined in said housing; wherein said base includes a pair of wings physically retained by cutouts defined in said receiving space; wherein said blocking bar defines a passage therethrough and in which a reinforced bar is fixedly disposed therein.
