Abstract

The present invention discloses a power connector used as an electric conducting component between output terminals having an equal electric potential, so that the output terminals having an equal electric potential can share the same electric wire of the same electric potential, so as to save the material cost of wires.

Claims

1. A power connector, applicable for connecting a set of power cables, and said set of power cables being divided into a plurality of power wires having different electric potentials, and said power connector comprising:

an insulating casing, having a plurality of positioning slots, and defining an end of said positioning slot as a power wire electrically coupled to said power input terminal and another end as a power output terminal;

a plurality of power wires, installed in said positioning slots and electrically coupled to output terminals of said power wires of said set of power cables; and

at least one electric conducting component, electrically coupled to said output terminal having an equal electric potential, such that one of said power wires is coupled separately to a plurality of output terminals by said electric conducting components, and said power output terminals output an equal electric potential, so as to effectively save the material of said power wires.

2. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said positioning slots have at least one guiding slot for containing said electric conducting component.

3. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said positioning slots are distributed adjacent with each other in an L-shape and having at least one guiding slot disposed separately along a first axis and a second axis.

4. The power connector of claim 3, wherein said positioning slots are three positioning slots distributed in an L-shape.

5. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said positioning slots are distributed adjacent with each other in a U-shape and having two parallel guiding slots along an axis and at least one guiding slot disposed between said two parallel guiding slots along the same axis.

6. The power connector of claim 5, wherein said positioning slots are five positioning slots distributed in a U-shape.

7. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said insulating casing has at least one guiding hole, such that said electric conducting component is passed through said guiding hole and coupled to said output terminal having an equal electric potential.

8. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said electric conducting component is disposed between two adjacent output terminals in said positioning slots.

9. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said electric conducting component is a conducting wire.

10. The power connector of claim 1, wherein said electric conducting component is an electric conducting plate.

11. A power connector, applicable for connecting a set of power cables, and said set of power cables being divided into a plurality of power wires having different electric potentials, and said power connector comprising:

an insulating casing, having a plurality of positioning slots, and defining an end of said positioning slot as a power wire electrically coupled to said power input terminal and another end as a power output terminal;

a plurality of output terminals, installed in said positioning slots and electrically coupled to output terminals of said power wires; and

at least one electric conducting component, electrically coupled to output terminals having an equal electric potential.

12. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said set of power cables includes at least one signal wire electrically coupled to said output terminal, for transmitting an electric communication signal in a direction from said power output terminal of said output terminal to said power input terminal of said output terminal.

13. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said positioning slots include at least one guiding slot for containing said electric conducting component.

14. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said positioning slots are distributed in an L-shape and having at least one guiding slot separately along a first axis and a second axis.

15. The power connector of claim 14, wherein said positioning slots are three positioning slots distributed in an L-shape.

16. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said positioning slots are distributed in a U-shape and having two parallel guiding slots along an axis and at least one guiding slot disposed between said two parallel guiding slots along the same axis.

17. The power connector of claim 16, wherein said positioning slots are five positioning slots distributed in a U-shape.

18. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said insulating casing includes at least one guiding hole, such that said electric conducting component is passed through said guiding hole and connected to said output terminals having an equal electric potential.

19. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said electric conducting components are installed between two adjacent output terminals in said positioning slots.

20. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said electric conducting component is a conducting wire.

21. The power connector of claim 11, wherein said electric conducting component is an electric conducting plate.
