US 12,712,313 B2 · Multiple-combination connector

Abstract

A multiple-combination connector includes a housing which is formed by a lower housing and a matching upper housing. The lower housing has at least one opening. At least one socket is attached to the opening. A plurality of individual plugs which can be independently inserted into the socket. The connector can bring about a flexible combination of different types and different numbers of plugs/sockets and meet different application requirements. Since the design is that of a single plug, it is possible to assemble and disassemble the cables one by one, thereby facilitating assembly. The connector can prevent incorrect insertion and withstand disassembly and assembly. The problem of powder spraying is easily solved. The EMC functions, Ingress Protection (waterproof and dustproof) functions and protective earthing functions are implemented. The accumulation of rain, snow, ice and dust is effectively prevented, and small size and easy installation are achieved.
