Abstract

Abstract An electric connector combination, the combination comprises an insulation main body, a first electric connector, a second electric connector, two signal displays, a rear lid and an obscuring housing; wherein the upper portion of the insulation main body can be used as a pin seat of the first electric connector, and the lower portion of the insulation main body can be used as a fixing seat of the second electric connector. In this mode, composing elements can be reduced and further lower the cost of mould making.
