Abstract
A connecting device of data cable is disclosed, wherein the device includes an elastic connecting member and a fixing member to be connected with the signal input/output part of a printed circuit board and the chassis frame so as to prevent the signal terminal part from separating from the main body and thereby to completely discharge the electromagnetic wave generated around the signal terminal part to the chassis frame.
Claims11
A connector assembly for data cable comprising a signal terminal part fastened on a printed circuit board, said signal terminal part containing an input/output terminal fixed at one end of the signal terminal part, said input/output terminal having a plurality of pin holes formed at one side of the input/output terminal, said connector assembly further comprising:
- elastic connecting means comprising a guide opening in the center thereof for inserting the input/output terminal to discharge electromagnetic waves generated around said input/output terminal to a chassis frame installed in a case of a main body in a computer system, wherein said elastic connecting means is a plate type spring comprising a pair of reinforcement ribs above and below said guide opening for firmly coupling the signal terminal part with the main body case;
- and
- fixing means for stably supporting said elastic connecting means in contacting relation with said chassis frame.
A connector assembly for data cable comprising a signal terminal part fastened on a printed circuit board, said signal terminal part containing an input/output terminal fixed at one end of the signal terminal part, said input/output terminal having a plurality of pin holes formed at one side of the input/output terminal, said connector assembly further comprising:
- elastic connecting means comprising a guide opening in the center thereof for inserting the input/output terminal to discharge electromagnetic waves generated around said input/output terminal to a chassis frame installed in a case of a main body in a computer system, wherein said elastic connecting means is formed in a spring shape and comprises a pair of nut holes surrounding said guide opening and a jaw to prevent said elastic connecting means from being separated from said main body case;
- and fixing means for stably supporting said elastic connecting means in contacting relation with said chassis frame.
A connector assembly for data cable comprising a signal terminal part fastened on a printed circuit board, said signal terminal part containing an input/output terminal fixed at one end of the signal terminal part, said input/output terminal having a plurality of pin holes formed at one side of the input/output terminal, said connector assembly further comprising:
- elastic connecting means comprising a guide opening in the center thereof for inserting the input/output terminal to discharge electromagnetic waves generated around said input/output terminal to a chassis frame installed in a case of a main body in a computer system;
- and fixing means for stably supporting said elastic connecting means in contacting relation with said chassis frame;
- wherein said fixing means comprises one part formed as one-piece with said chassis frame;
- said one part comprising a connecting plane for connection with one inserted end part of said elastic connecting means and a catching groove to prevent said elastic connecting means from being separated from said main body case.
An assembly comprising a grounding member, a signal terminal part, a frame, and a casing, the signal terminal part including an end face having a face portion through which electromagnetic waves are discharged and an input/output terminal which protrudes from the end face, said casing having receiving means for receiving said frame and an opening through which the input/output terminal protrudes when the assembly is in an assembled configuration with the frame received in the receiving means, said grounding member comprising an elastic material having a shielding portion and a connecting portion, the grounding member comprising rib means insertable between the signal terminal part and the casing for stabilizing the assembly when the assembly is in the assembled configuration, said shielding portion having a guide opening therethrough, said grounding member being configured so that the shielding portion is insertable between said connecting device and said casing with said input/output terminal protruding through the guide opening and with said connecting portion contacting said frame when the assembly is in the assembled configuration, said connecting portion including support means for enabling the grounding member to support said connecting device when the connecting portion is contacting the frame in the assembled configuration.
