Abstract

A mini display port structure is provided for receiving a connector insert. The mini display port structure includes a circuit board unit and a receptacle unit. The circuit board unit has a base board, wherein an opening is formed on one side of the base board. A portion of the receptacle unit is accommodated in the opening of the circuit board unit and is connected to the base board. Accordingly, the circuit board unit is elevated at a certain position within the height of receptacle unit, and thus the height of the receptacle unit can include the height of the circuit board unit at the same time, thereby shrinking the height of the mini display port structure after the circuit board unit is assembled for making a compact mini display port.

Claims

1. A mini display port structure for receiving a connector insert, the mini display port structure comprising:

a circuit board unit having a base board, wherein an opening is formed on one side of the base board; and

a receptacle unit of which a portion is accommodated in the opening and is connected to the base board, wherein the receptacle unit comprises;

a plastic holder;

a terminal set assembled inside the plastic holder; and

an outer shell assembled around the plastic holder and shielding the plastic holder, wherein the plastic holder has a holder body, and a plurality of first terminal slots and a plurality of second terminal slots are formed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the holder body respectively;

the terminal set comprising a first terminal block and a second terminal block, the first terminal block having a plurality of first terminals inserted into the first terminal slots of the plastic holder, the second terminal block having a plurality of second terminals inserted into the second terminal slots of the plastic holder, wherein each of the first terminals and the second terminals has an external end portion protruding out of the plastic holder, and the external end portion of each of the first terminals is perpendicular to the base board, and a plurality of combination holes are formed on respective positions of the base board corresponding in number and position to the external end portions of the first terminals, and the external end portions of the second terminals are parallel to the base board, wherein the first terminal block is molded with at least one first retainer, and the first terminals are inserted and retained at equal intervals in the first retainer; and

the second terminal block is molded with at least one second retainer, and the second terminals are inserted and retained at equal intervals in the second retainer, wherein a receiving groove is disposed on each of both sides of the second retainer, and an inserting pillar is disposed on each of both sides of the first retainer corresponding in position to the receiving groove, and the inserting pillar is inserted into the receiving groove, wherein the terminal set further comprises a cover which receives the external end portions of the first terminals and the external end portions of the second terminals, and shields the first terminals and the second terminals, wherein the top surface and both sides of the holder body of the plastic holder have a top platform and two sidewalls, and a clip is formed on an inner edge of each of the sidewalls, and a hook is disposed on each of both sides of the cover corresponding in position to the clip, and the hook is clipped with the clip.

2. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein a first positioning pillar is disposed on top of each of the sidewalls of the plastic holder, and a first positioning hole is formed on the base board corresponding in position to the first positioning pillar of each of the sidewalls, and the first positioning pillar is engaged with the first positioning hole.

3. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the outer shell comprises a frame-type shell and an extensive trough connected to each other, the extensive trough having a bottom plate and two lateral walls connected to both sides of the bottom plate, each of the lateral walls having a slanted protrusive plate, each of the two sidewalls of the plastic holder having an engaging groove corresponding in position to the slanted protrusive plate, the two lateral walls of the extensive trough enveloping the two sidewalls of the plastic holder with the slanted protrusive plate engaged with the engaging groove.

4. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least one second positioning pillar is disposed on top of each of the lateral walls of the outer shell, and at least one second positioning hole corresponding in number and position to the second positioning pillar is formed on the base board, and the second positioning pillar is engaged with the second positioning hole.

5. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein there is a shell wall surrounding the frame-type shell of the outer shell, and at least one elastic clip is disposed on the shell wall.

6. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 5, further comprising:

at least one elastic grounding member contacting the frame-type shell of the outer shell.

7. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the elastic grounding member comprises an inverted-U-shaped plate, the inverted-U-shaped plate enveloping the shell wall of the frame-type shell of the outer shell, a top surface and both side surfaces of the inverted-U-shaped plate each having an inserting plate, and an inserting groove is formed between each of the top platform and the two sidewalls of plastic holder and the holder body, and the elastic grounding member is engaged with the plastic holder by inserting the inserting plate into the inserting groove.

8. The mini display port structure as claimed in claim 7, wherein at least one elastic arm is disposed on an end surface of the inverted-U-shaped plate opposite to the inserting plate.
